《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 28: Idle chatter and catching up
Advertisement
Within Aura and Serra's room.
"This is a game Lucas introduced to me some time ago. This is a game used by generals to determine superiority in tactics and strategy."
"Oh. Explain the rules already."
Aura liked these kinds of games.
Speaking of which, they used to play board games like this often to pass the time before.
"Calm down. You were always impatient... Now then, this game has a general and other units. You can only move them according to their patterns... It's similar to chess, but it's slighty different and made to be much more detailed..."
Serra explained the rules to Aura.
As they were both very intelligent, they already memorized the rules once.
"Alright! Let's start! Today's the day I wipe my humiliation of 12,746 defeats and claim my 7,369th victory!"
Aura said spirited.
"I've won consecutively for 3,999 times now... It's high time I achieve my 4,000th victory! It's an excellent choice to choose a new game to claim it."
Serra spoke with pride.
"Hmph, just watch!"
"Hahaha, take this! Today's the day I end your reign!"
"Try as you will, I will win."
Aura claims an advantage early game.
"Now's the time! You're worn out from all those battles, time to end this!"
"Ah! No way I'm going down that easy!"
Serra counter-attacked mid-game and made a decisive blow.
Aura defends frantically.
"Game, Set and Match!"
Serra proclaims in triumph.
"Ah! How could I lose!?"
Aura grieves.
"And that's my 4000th victory, thank you."
Serra smiles victoriusly.
"Urk, again!"
"Hahahaha, try again as much as you like! I will win again and again!"
Serra proclaims with vigor.
Only at this time would Serra act immature or just like his looks.

So the game restarted.
As always, this kind of game is Serra's forte.
So he continued to win.
Aura was irritated and demanded more rematches.
While playing, they also began to catch up on recent events.
"By the way, why did you decide to return to your homeland now after reaching the top?"
Indeed. It's only been a few years since Serra finally broke through to reach the same level as the others.
In order, it was Elric, Kruez then Aura and finally Serra. The seasons also determine the order wherein they reached that stage.
"I decided a long time ago I'd return after reaching the pinnacle."
Serra spoke casually.
"That's pretty impressive... Reaching the top for such a casual reason."
"Doesn't really matter... I simply wished to reach the peak. Oh, and I'll be taking this."
Serra spoke as he captured an important official.
"Ah!"
Aura got careless and lost an important piece.
"How underhanded!"
She complained.
"Your fault for being careless."
"Grr..."
She lost that game easily.
"Again!"
They continued their chatter. But Aura didn't let herself remain careless.
