Chapter 0

In a room adorned with incredibly lavish and dignified decorations.

This room, seemingly designed by a professional interior designer, appeared to demand dignity and grace from its user.

However, the only thing felt from the two people using this room was a tense atmosphere.

A boy and a girl, standing at a distance where they would bump into each other with the slightest movement, faced each other.

An odd atmosphere emanated from the two, who were staring at each other without blinking.

After staring at each other for a while.

Blink-

Unable to hold back any longer, the girl blinked first.

At the same time, words burst forth from the boy.

“……I won.”

“……Let’s do it again.”

“I won!!”

Ignoring the girl’s incomprehensible request for a rematch, the boy reveled in his victory.

Then, he gestured for the girl to come closer.

“Come here quickly.”

“……”

The girl frowned as if she really didn’t want to approach, but she closed her eyes and leaned her face forward as if she had no choice.

Once again, their faces drew close, to a distance where their lips would touch if they got any closer.

In the room filled with this slightly awkward atmosphere.

The boy released his hand.

Thwack-

A crisp sound of something hitting, and a small bump rose on the girl’s head.

It must have been quite painful, but the girl only teared up, refusing to cry.

As if crying would mean losing.

“……Let’s do it again.”

Instead of crying, the girl requested a rematch.

“No way.”

“……”

The boy stood up, clearly refusing to engage in another match, and left the room.

“Albert… Zernias!!!”

The girl also shouted the boy’s name and dashed out of the room to catch him.

“……Hoho.”

Only the butler, who had been watching their antics, chuckled happily and wrote something in his notebook.

Rebecca Valencia (0) : Albert Zernias (17)

The Grand Princess was defeated again today.
