"Checkmate." Laria said as she toss her Queen that makes the White King stumble upon her. Countess Eliza frown at the rudeness the Lady has showned upon Princess Kylie.
But that did not make Kylie cry. Instead, she orders the made to leave them alone.
"B-but your highness!" Her lady in waiting refuses to do so but she just gave them a warning look. In the end, the servants could not do anything but leave.
"You, too, Liambart," she murmured to the shadow guard that is hiding in the roof.
"What a trouble," and he sneered against the Lady, but it just answered her with rhe sweetest smile.
"Now, we are alone," Princess Kylie with her golden hair and eyes smiled tenderly with Lady Laria, "I am glad to have your answer."
What Lady Laria did when she tossed the King of the opponent clearly says one thing-- that she is ready to take down the King, Princess Kylie's father.
With her green luscious eyes, she looked with Princess Kylie with a serious glare.
"Princess Kylie," she paused, "Why do you want to be the Queen?" she sip from her teacup and observe properly what the Princess reaction will be.
"Oh please, drop the formality, Laria," she then get a ring from her jewelry box, it is radiant blue.
"My good for nothing brother will ruin the kingdom," she said, "And I as the princess cannot do anything about it, because I am a woman that will bw sold off for marriage," her face turned grim and unsightly.
Lady Laria gracefully put her teacup back in the table. She smiled when she saw Princess Kylie holding the Black Queen.
"But not when I am the Queen."

The Eternal Kingdom, a neutral country in the middle of East Empire and West Empire. When there is a conflict between the two, they become the arbiter.
The Kingdom is rich in minerals, have a lot of crops, and has a foundation of magic. This is the very reason why the two Empires cannot have it, because of the four legendary family that protects it.
The Royal family possesses the Blessings of the Goddess, and said to be the reason how the land still prosper in terms of food, water, and magic. It said that if the Royal Family has been eradicated, the Kingdom too, will vanish.
"Oh, who do we have here?" Laria was greeted with a purple hair lady with threatening eyes, trying to ridicule her. She sighed with the unsightly sight.
"Greetings, Consort Pamela," she bow her head and respect her elder, as what should a filial daughter be.
"Oh, do you still know how to respect now, huh?!" the Consort is recalling how Lady Laria ignore her at the meeting she barged in last time.
"If you do not have anything important to say, I'll be going," she said and was excited to see her lovely sisters now but Consort Pamela is taking her time.
"You b*tch!" it shouted and was about to slap her when she hold its hand.
"What a shame," then she say something in her ear, "Stop making a scene if you still want to remain here."
Consort Pamela, with tears in her eyes, hold her dress and stomp her feet on the ground, shouting, "I'll tell your father about this."
Laria sighed and wanted to strangle the shameless woman, if only she could do what she wanted to do.
In order to inherit the Marquessate, she must be an obedient and filial daughter, a graceful and epitome of elegance. But what the Consort says next make her lose her cool,
"Your father is going to make me the Marchioness," she smirked, "after all, I build the Estier Viscount fortune to rebuild the Fordenn!" she smiled evilly.
"WE. DID. NOT. OWN. YOU. A. THING!" Laria shouted and that makes the poised Consort lose her cool. She was taken a back by sudden shout of Laria.
"You ungrateful child!" but before she could slap Laria, the Lady pull her hair first.
"You spend nothing in our home but for your own lavish spending and alcohol! Now you're telling me that we owe you?!" she was trembling in anger.
"Elder Sister!" Arianne, the second sister of Laria called, with Tiara, the third. When Laria saw Fiarre and Sierra she calmed down, and looked at the crying Consort.
"How dare you do this to me?!" she shouted, and continue screaming like a fool. On the other hand, Laria got her composure back and walked away with her sisters elegantly, as if nothing happened.
"That Consort is surely ughhhh!" Arianne shouted, losing her temper.
"Elder Sister, are you okay?" Fiarre asked with puppy eyes full of concern.
"If I were there first I would do the same, Sister Laria!" with her confident composure, the youngest among them swayed her fist like she was ready to fight anyway.
Laria laughed. However, her eyes turned darkly and grimly. Surely, the Consort will use this opportunity to get her kick out of the house, and appeal to her father.
Amidst the silent, Tiara, the third sister with her composed stature, suddenly let out an icy aura that make them all stopped.
"She is so loud! If no one will make her silent, I'll slap her," Tiara, the most silent of them all sneered.
But what most of them shocked is that, the White aura surrounding her and the frozen ground beneath them.
"You have awakened the Icetierre!" that makes Laria trembled. Now, there is no way they would be kicked out of the house, as the new guardian awakened the secret power handed down to the family.
