Chapter 143 Skillful Queen
Chapter 143: Skillful Queen
Mrs. Cessley pointed at the heavily pushed back group of players with her folded up fan. Currently, they were all struggling to try and get the ball out of the tree where it was stuck. On the other side, the side that Rihannan was on was quickly pushing forward.
“Mrs. Cessley, ?cannot help them out at all. It’s in the rules that the person who made the ball stuck up there has to take it down themselves. And it seems to that it will take around 10 minutes to take it down,” Igor mumbled to himself as he watched the man who was so weak with sports that he couldn’t even ride horses for a prolonged period of ti trying to take down the ball from the tree.
To Igor, it honestly didn’t matter too much whether he won or lost this match. His eyes were actually on Rihannan who was in the midst of chatting with other team mbers.
Rihannan was wearing a short dress that reached down to her ankles. The dark blue dress matched well with the chilly weather and her thin little body. Every ti she nodded to acknowledge sothing in the conversation, her silver hair danced a little bit. Even though they were in the middle of the match, his eyes were still lovingly directed at her.
“Actually, I didn’t know that the queen was this good.”
Basil followed Igor’s direction of gaze and complinted the queen with a surprised tone. Since she was a queen that ca after living for a long ti in another country, no one knew how good she would be with it.
However, the mont Rihannan smacked away the ball for the first ti, everyone couldn’t hide their surprise. The ball’s long and low trajectory landed perfectly at the target area.
“I heard that she learned how to play from Duke Dimitri who is her cousin’s older brother. He must have quite so skill with this ga.”
Hearing Mrs. Cessley’s continued observation, Igor had to swallow to keep himself back from yelling out angrily.
…The man who made the always sad and depressed Rihannan smile at once, the only person who shared mories of childhood together with her and is able to talk about everything with nothing held back, while Igor couldn’t… he was soone that Igor didn’t like a single bit about him and enough to make him thankful that they were actually relatives.
Who knows what that man would do with Rihannan.
“Your Majesty! It’s ti for you to hit the ball.”
At that mont, a person ca searching for him and Igor sighed at the sa ti he grabbed the stick that he threw away carelessly at a corner.
“Give it your best, Your Majesty. Although we’re going to lose anyway, you still have to do your best until the end!”
Ignoring the cheer that was mixed with jeering that he heard from behind his back, he stepped down to the grass ground. If he finishes this match, then he’ll be able to spend the whole day together with Rihannan.
Thinking about that, Igor made a smile.
On the other hand, Rihannan was actually staring at the ball with a very serious face. It was a very vague location. In front were nurous trees so if she were to just hit it right away, it would likely end up on the tree like the opponent’s team did. But to hit it to the side, there was also a lake over there. If the ball were to fall into the lake, it would be an even worse outco.

“What should I do?”
As everyone agonized along with her trying to figure out what to do, they suddenly saw the opponent’s team chasing right up to them. Rihannan judged that there is no longer ti to waste anymore.
“Let’s send it to the front. If the ball falls into the lake, then we’ll end up losing after all.”
In the end, everyone agreed with that. Just as she said, if the ball went up the tree, it would take a mont to retrieve it, but if it fell into the lake, it would be hard to find it again.
The man who was next to hit the ball clearly had a very anxious expression as he stood to hit the ball. And just as they thought, the hit had too much power put into it, as it smacked the trunk of the tree and went to a completely incorrect direction.
“Ah, no!”
Everyone pulled their hair in shock and frustration at the sa ti as they watched the ball fly to the lake.
“Find it quickly!”
