Rufia didn't quite understand the meaning of Rogers' words, but when she saw the other party's indignant appearance, she politely expressed her belief.

This was followed by a lengthy greeting of the old-fashioned aristocracy when they met and followed the etiquette.

From the feeling of the conversation, Rogers was sure that Rufia most likely did not know about the game against him in the Scarlo Bazaar.

This princess is so normal, no matter how you look at it, she is an extremely normal little girl.

The only special feature is the royal bearing that has been born from being pampered since childhood.

Rogers, who had been nervous for a long time, couldn't help but have a lot of affection for Rufia, just because he didn't need to use his brain all the time to talk to her, and he was too friendly compared to Alina.

This is what a thirteen-year-old girl should look like!

"I like your invention of Rogers, but no one in the court will play seriously with me, my squires dare not beat me, my father does not want to play against me, he is afraid of losing to me.

"So I'm here to find the inventor of Rutgers, can you play with me?"

Rufia made a request to Rogers expectantly, her eyes clear that she couldn't refuse.

"No problem, it's my honor to accompany Her Royal Highness to the Princess." Rogers agreed without hesitation.

He thought that if he could get on a good footing, he might be able to get information out of the child's mouth about why she was at the Scallow Market that day, and whether anyone else was following her.

When Alina ushered Rufia to her seat, she opened her mouth several times to remind her of something, but when she saw her in high spirits, she didn't say anything after all, but looked at the little princess with pity.

"Her Royal Highness the princess, let's use white chess first." After Rogers sat down, he chose to be polite very gentlemanly.

"Good! Then I'm rude! Rufia nodded happily and pushed the soldier in the middle up two squares.

Rogers didn't think much about it, and responded quickly.

In just a minute, because Rufia didn't understand the principle of "opening the window early", Rogers easily formed a corridor kill.

Rufia stared at the chessboard seriously for a long time, and after finding that there was indeed no way out, her eyebrows drooped, and she said in disappointment: "I lost." ”

However, this slump did not last long, and she soon regained her fighting spirit, saying that she would definitely win back.

Rogers was somewhat infected by her tenacity, and used a Bourdain kill that could be won quickly.

Then he patiently guided the chessboard and showed the little princess Mophy, Rory, Luble, Piersbury, and Anastasia......

The sun seemed to be attracted by the chess game, and gradually moved to the top of several people's heads, and the scorching breath spread.

Rufia's eyes turned red as time passed, and she blinked, biting her lip as she shuddered the bishop to the king's side.

"I'm going to be the queen this time." Rogers said boredly as he held the book in one hand and pulled the soldier to the bottom line with the other.

"I admit defeat...... Rufia raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, skillfully rearranged the chessboard, and said firmly in a voice with a slight cry, "Go on!" ”

"Doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess need to eat?" Rogers looked up at the sky, and saw Alina, who was holding a large plate of salad next to her, chewing slowly, and thoughtfully asked.

"No, you don't! Let's move on! Rufia slapped her cheeks with both hands and stared at the chessboard, her eyes full of determination to see death at home.

"Uh, okay." Rogers actually planned to eat something for himself first, but in order for the princess to have a good game experience, he generously chose to accompany him.

After winning a few more games, until his stomach protested, he couldn't help it, and after consulting the princess, he began to play chess while eating......

At this time, the sun was already tired of the same results, and slowly set in the west, and the setting sun emitted a soft orange-red light, rendering the entire sky.

Rufia didn't eat all day, devoting her whole body and mind to fighting on the chessboard.

Aliana would occasionally come and watch the game unfold, always shaking her head away.

After the afternoon, she simply nestled in a corner, flipping through the books that Rogers had told Hans to bring, and could no longer bear to witness what happened to Rufia.

She'd been through it all, and she understood the nightmarish pain it was.

"Ahem! Your Royal Highness, it will soon be night, and if you don't go back, the Prince will come to you. Rogers shook his numb elbow and reminded him.

Rufia looked down at the chessboard, which had once again fallen into a dead game, and looked up at the sky blankly, and whispered in her eyes: "Ah, is it going to be dark?" ”

"yes, it's getting dark." Rogers was a little incredulous that Rufia could hold out all day, and Alina only lasted half a day the first time.

"Did I lose a day?" Rufia swallowed and moistened her dry throat, as if she couldn't accept the fact that it was a given.

"Do you want to win?" Rogers sat upright and was tempted to follow the Methodist path.

"Yes! Do you have a way for me to win?! Rufia's eyes rejuvenated, and she reached out and grabbed Rogers' sleeve tightly.

"On this chessboard, there are actually various routines and fixed rules, as long as you master these rules, even if you can't win, you can make yourself undefeated.

"I'm willing to teach the princess how to win, but unfortunately my memory is not very good, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of the head and tail when I teach.

"As long as the princess can give me a magic item that can relive my past memories, I will definitely be able to teach the princess well."

Rogers patted Rufia's little hand and responded gently, like an elder looking forward to the healthy growth of the next generation.

He had the intention of letting Rufia sign a contract, but unfortunately the other party was always from the royal family, and if his parents found out something, he probably wouldn't end well.

Although the props for recalling memories are rare, they should not be too precious for a princess, and they are just used to remind herself of various details in "Evening Bell Quartet".

"Good! I'll be sure to find it for you tomorrow. ”

Rufia nodded solemnly, then stood up to say goodbye to Rogus and Alina.

"What a good boy, but a little too stubborn." Rogers looked at her back as she ran down the stairs and couldn't help but sigh.

Alina paced and put the book in his hand, her eyes full of disdain: "Prince Ryeed will definitely come to you tomorrow." ”

"Did you know that with the bonus?" Rogers looked at Alina in surprise, he remembered that the other party had said that he could only vaguely predict what might happen in the future, how could he be so sure now.

"It's not a bonus, it's relying on my intuition as a daughter." Alina chuckled and turned away from the stargazing tower.
