Snakes and Ladders

Out of all the possibilities that swarmed the prince's head on his way here, this one certainly crossed his mind for a split second.

Albeit it did, he didn't humor this possibility for too long.

Now the dilemma is, shall he play dumb or shall he admit to it? Is it even possible for him to fool someone who has lived for centuries, or maybe even more?

"Haha how funny, now, what mission did my father give me this time?"

People of higher authority would usually pull him aside to inform him about a summon from the king. It wasn't out of character for him to assume UN was joking.

UN remained silent with a slanted smile spread across his face, he grabbed something from behind his desk, and slid it over to America.

It was a bloody handcuff.

"Now I wonder, where you managed to get your hands on this ability suppressing metal? The school doesn't have these just lying around everywhere."

The American stared at the handcuff in silence, after a long minute, he smirked, "well it was worth a shot."

Admitting it was the best option, it seemed UN had already caught on. There was no point in wasting words. "Don't get me wrong your highness, I'd say your acting skills are top notch. I've just seen too many undercover revolutions happen over my lifetime."

It was a bit hard to believe, but the kingdoms have always been flawed, even eons ago, revolutions would happen occasionally. Though none of them were to a big scale.

"What are you going to do about it then?"

No fear, no going back.

"Now... that depends on you." UN pressed a button under his desk, a holographic map of the kingdom was projected on top of the desk. It was three dimensional, the building, the trees, the mountains, everything.

It was almost like a god watching over the land from above, the map itself was uncannily realistic. The only difference was that everything was semi transparent as well as cloaked in a blue hue.

America could see some familiar places, the most eye catching ones however, were each kingdom's castles, towering over all the other buildings.

UN pressed another button under his desk, the prince watched before his eyes, blue tiles appearing around the map, it formed one very long path through the 6 kingdoms.

"Let's play a game shall we? How about we bet on something as well? A game is no fun without bets." UN placed a dice on his desk as well as two chess pieces, one black and one white.

The American prince couldn't help but chuckle as he crossed his arms, "wow I'm making quite a lot of bets today."

The headmaster continued, "If you win, I won't tell the authorities but if I win, I will, how does that sound?"

It wasn't like America could decline anyway, as long as he wanted to keep the revolt going, he had to win. "Sure, if you don't mind, I'd like to pick the white chess piece."

A pale hand reached over to grab the chess piece, the reason he chose white was because white always goes first in chess. He liked having the first move, he liked being in control of the situation.

"Very well then, you'll have the first move. I will explain the game."

UN placed the black piece onto the starting tile, "you have to reach the finishing tile in order to win, roll the dice to advance."

The prince's eyes trailed over to a faraway tile, it was situated right in the heart of everything, the central kingdom palace. His "home".

It was fairly obvious that was the final tile, there were a gazillion unnecessarily flashy arrows pointing at the tile.
