I Was Given a Political Marriage - I Was Given a Political Marriage chapter 14

14 – Two different people (3)

Eileen and Bestea.

The two were similar, but lacking a lot.

I was born with a lot of things compared to others, and because I was wise, I always lacked something.

Knowing that, the two were attracted to each other, and it became an opportunity to quickly become friends.

It was one day when Eileen’s first engagement was scheduled.

The two, who had grown old since their first meeting with the princess, met after a long time.

“long time no see?”

“Whoa, it’s been a while, Princess Bestea.”

“Stop using honorifics between us. If you try to be polite one more time, I’ll arrest you for treason.”

“If this were treason, I would have been put to death once or five times.”

foot. The two raised their eyebrows at the same time and smiled gracefully.

“Right. How did your engagement go? Do you like it?”

Even if it was an engagement anyway, it was something like a promise that would disappear soon.

It was only a token of a temporary alliance for a contract between families.

“No. We’ve never met, but we’ll break up anyway when the business is over.”

“Wow… You know what a really premeditated villain is? Isn’t that guy kind of pitiful?”

“why?”

“If I had fallen for you, then I would have been holding back tears all day.”

Eileen laughs at the thought that her fiancé, whom she hasn’t even seen yet, will suffocate.

As expected, she seemed to have no idea whether she had no relationship with a man.

“Then what a pity. A man like that isn’t even my taste anyway.”

And after the first meeting with the long-awaited fiance.

Eileen, whom I hadn’t seen in a really long time, was very different from what I knew.

She always kept her expressionless face, but at some point she started laughing, and even her behavior was changing little by little.

“Chess? Why are you practicing all of a sudden?”

“It’s just that there’s someone who wants to win. Let’s make the next move, right?”

At one point, she asked me to practice every day, saying we should play a game of chess.

At first, their skills were similar, but from some point on, only in chess, Bestea was lagging behind.

“Um, I lost again. Haa… How long will you play this game? I always see chess pieces in my dreams.”

“No.. I still have to practice more.”

“No, what the hell are you trying to use like this?”

When I asked about it, he said that he practiced to win at least once after losing to someone he met through engagement.

‘I like it more than I thought. Isn’t it annoying when someone loses?’

Human beings basically do not like defeat and failure.

However, Aileen struggled to overcome it and climb to a higher place.

“I lost again~ Stop now. Really stop!!!”

“Oh, hmm, it’s been a while.”

“Because it’s not at the level for a long time? How much shame and mental pain are you trying to inflict on the princess of this country!”

I’m happy with my friend’s growth, but I couldn’t play with him anymore.

Because if I collapsed first from exhaustion, I felt like my heart would break.

However, Eileen’s passion could not be dampened, so she moved on to someone other than herself.

How long that passion lasted after about 3 months.

“Why are you laughing so much when you say you lost again?”

“Um~ Just. Is this the first time you can bump into someone like this?”

Eileen returned with the news that she had been defeated by her fiancé.

For some reason, her appearance was more than refreshing, like a girl with infinite dreams.

“You still look happy. But isn’t the engagement almost over?”

“Huh? Ah, uh…”

In the first place, Aileen’s engagement was a kind of contract, not a step before going to an arranged marriage.

That is why this engagement, which will not last long, is coming to an end.

Eileen put her fingernails to her mouth with a puzzled face for the first time, as if she hadn’t even thought of it.

“no.”

“Hmm? It was an engagement that would break anyway.”

“Ah, there are still many things I haven’t done. And… no, I can’t finish it like this.”

Eileen, whom Bestea faced that day, was like a young girl who had her precious doll taken away.

Trembling with anxiety, he can’t control it and bites his nails.

Even so, that anxiety erupted throughout the body, and the person’s condition became unstable.

Exactly, within a few months after this story came out, we heard rumors that she had been chosen as the official successor in the family.

On the other hand, Xian was playing a game with Eileen.

Unlike the match against the princess, he was doing his best to break through Eileen’s attack and defense.

Always stick to your own philosophy, defend strong and attack only once. I was pushing the word and continuing the game.

“Sian, would you like to make a bet with me?”

“What bet?”

widely. Eileen, who moved the knight, made an unexpected proposal.

“If I win today, can you make just one move as I want?”

“hmm…”

Xian is surprised to see him placing a bet for the first time. Soon, I thought about betting on the image of playing chess seriously.

If you look at the usual win rate, the overwhelming win. However, it is not good to bet on the assumption that there is a contingency.

However, the idea of whether Aileen would cross the line with a proposal was close to NO.

‘and…’

His gaze was directed toward the cherry-colored lips. “Maybe,” he said, nodding his head slowly.

“Okay, let’s try it. If I win…”

However, before the words were finished, Eileen made a new move and cut it off.

“That’s not going to happen. Because today I’m winning.”

widely. Thus, the landscape of the battlefield changed in an instant.

‘what. How did I calculate my next move?’

I couldn’t hide my absurdity when the number of cases I had thought of beforehand was blocked.

It was a play that he knew rather than calculated and blocked it.

“how…”

“Because I know everything about you. I kept calculating in my head every night practicing with someone.”

This wasn’t an area I was good at. Because it was an impossible method without going crazy.

‘This feeling… That’s how it felt then.’

When I was still living as a chess player in my previous life, there was a time when the game changed with the advent of AI.

I was scared of the play that reminded me of those days, but it was like picking stars in the sky to lead me to victory here.

“Then let’s do it until the end. The bet isn’t over yet.”

As expected, there was no reversal, but Xian was defeated without seeing the victory until the end.

As I opened my eyes wide at the absurd defeat, I enjoyed it.

Eileen, whom she enjoyed for the first time after years of practice, exhaled so hard that her face blushed as if it was difficult to hide the joy.

“Then… the bet must be paid for?”

Eileen slowly approaches him as he sits. Xian helplessly raised his head and sent an anxious look.

“From now on, no matter what I do, you just have to follow me.”

“Ah… now what.”

Eileen put her hand on Xian’s armpit and slowly lifted it up.

Soon after, he put the chessboard away and put him on the table so that they were at eye level.

“Stay still. You’ll feel better soon.”

gulp. In the meantime, the eyes were always on the lips.

“Just a little more. No, if you run a little more.”

She ran around the academy with all her might to find Scarlett and Xian, who were running around exhaling hot breath.

She has always lived a quiet life, lamenting her status.

Today, I put everything down and ran towards my goal with all my might.

‘Yeah, I can’t stay still like this.’

I still don’t know his sincerity, but I didn’t want to be taken away like this.

If you still have a chance, try your best to seize it, and it won’t be too late even if you regret it after that.

“I’ve been all over the inside of the building… where the hell?”

I tried my best to run around, but all I could see were falling autumn leaves.

In the meantime, I couldn’t find Xian, so I started to get more and more anxious.

‘Let’s calm down, everything hasn’t been decided yet.’

He had to turn his heart before going to his fiancee.

I was able to find his trace by chance, as if this earnest heart had reached the sky.

“Eileen and Xian? He went over there earlier.”

“thank you.”

I ran to the place the black-haired nobleman I met by chance told me.

And the figures of two people who can be seen little by little from afar.

It is embarrassing and scary to convey the imam as it is, but I still wanted to take on the challenge.

“Chew, ha… Now, sleep. I can’t breathe. It’s so hard.”

“So are you going to stop? Bee~ Do you want to come first?”

Whether God was mean or the devil playing a trick, she got the timing wrong.

Xian, who finally found her, was kissing her fiancée with a blushing face.

What’s more, it was frustrating to see him hugging the other person’s waist with his eyes relaxed as if he was pleased rather than resisting.

‘Oh, isn’t it? Wait a minute, this isn’t it.’

A similar thing happened the other day, but it was different from that time.

It wasn’t a normal kiss, it was more like a self-pitying kiss.

An obedient figure who pleads more, embraces, and allows everything of himself to the other person.

“Ah, Eileen… My head is dizzy.”

“You don’t like it? Or should I stop?”

‘Stop it. please. Please don’t.’

Eileen slowly opened her mouth and was about to move away, but instead, Xian grabbed her cheek and kissed her again.

Even though she was dizzy, she did her best to tangle her tongue like a baby trying to suckle.

Every time his neckline swayed, he curled the corners of his eyes and placed his hand on his reddish cheek, as if the other party was also satisfied.

side. During the short break, she left a mark on his neck and hers until the end.

Yes, even before Scarlett came, he was slowly getting colored.

An opium-like obsession and love that is hard to escape.

“It’s been a while… Let’s really do a little more.”

It was so painful that only tears flowed out as if I was trying to squeeze my heart out until the end.
