Translation Novel This world is mine

Chess game (part 4)

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all okay. It's been a long time. Sorry for the wait. I had a lot of work and my phone didn't work so I couldn't translate Korean.

Good reading for this new chapter. It is the last chapter of Volume 2.

***

Charlize lost the Kiral-style bet in Kiral-style chess. Lillian hummed as she took the black queen with the white queen. Orion was delighted as she stroked the tips of Lillian's golden hair.

"That slave is working in my office right now."

Charlize did her best to fulfill her duty as a loser, as Lillian had said. She tried to avoid showing Wooyeon to Lillian as much as possible, but things didn't go as planned.

"No she isn't!"

Orion tilted her head and blinked. Come to think of it, the slave who was supposed to bring snacks from the kitchen still hadn't come to the garden. There was no way she would have run away since Charlize was in the garden.

"She was secretly watching us in the garden earlier. No. Should I say she was watching you, Charlize?"

"Orion, did you see that slave?"

Orion pointed to the bush where Wooyeon was with her finger in response to Lillian's question. Charlize was upset that Wooyeon left the office again without listening to her.

In any case, she was a master at acting as she pleased.

"Yes. I caught her before she could squirrel away. I even had a conversation with her."

Orion nodded with a small face and giggled. The conversation was only a few words that showed how much the slave thought of Charlize. But Orion giggled as if recalling a pleasant memory.

"Oh, right."

Orion leaned her head on Lillian's shoulder, who was urging her to quickly bring the slave. Lillian stroked Orion's smooth silver hair from top to bottom.

"That slave seemed to think a lot about Charlize. She followed us to the garden because she thought Charlize needed something. Right now, she's at the kitchen fetching refreschements for us."

"Hmm?"

Orion recalled the small back of the slave who had disappeared towards the main building with quick steps. It was a shabby body that did not fit in with the Third Knightage and had never held a sword. And what about a slave who seemed to know a lot about palace etiquette? Lillian turned her head and glanced at the main building where the kitchen was.

"That's right? Charlize."

Lillian smiled happily. Charlize realized that she could no longer protect Wooyeon.

*Rita, go and bring that slave."

Charlize tried to control her expression so that her frustration would not be revealed. She was in trouble because of the corners of her mouth that kept selling. Rita ground her teeth when she saw the princess she had served for a long time being in trouble over just one slave.

"Yes, your Highness."

Rita put her hand on her chest and bowed her head. It was fortunate that she could not show her face. Even at that moment, Rita was overcome with the urge to cut down Wooyeon, who was Charlize's weakness. Rita hurried to the kitchen with heavy footsteps. She didn't want to leave Charlize alone in the garden. Rita was seething with the thought of asking Wooyeon what she had talked about with Orion when she met her.

In the dining room, I was preparing the dishes and trays Mary had handed me, and a cup with cool lemonade. The half-open dining room door slammed open, and a very angry Rita came in. The kitchen maids and Mary blinked their eyes, startled by the loud noise.
