My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World

6 – Playing with the Witch (2)

It seems that I was quite stressed out.

Or maybe it’s because I haven’t been playing poker for a long time.

But more than that, what makes poker so much fun….

“….”

It must be because she enjoys teasing her as she reaches for her deck of cards with that grumpy look on her face.

She is frowning as if she is resentful of the witch who will probably push this world into the abyss of destruction even tomorrow.

Where is this level of amusement!

hahahaha!

“….”

Perhaps she thought I was cheating, Priscilla seemed to be thinking of shuffling the cards herself.

Slowly.

Come on.

It was great.

It was a perfect shuffle that really suits the expression of a talented girl.

However, compared to her skillful shuffling skills, her win rate was less than 20%.

Paaah.

He looks visibly relieved.

If you don’t observe closely, the eyebrows, which were finely wrinkled that you wouldn’t notice, straighten out.

That was a sign that a good hand had been played.

“I’m going to die.”

“….”

You can like it a little since you won, Priscilla.

Why are you frowning so much?

Come on.

Priscilla retrieved her cards again and dealt them in front of the two of us.

“….”

Unlike before, there is tension on her face.

That expression… Is it a bit vague?

‘It’s a pity to die, but it’s an adventure to die.’

It was good enough to see the match, but unfortunately, my hand was useless unless the community card and heavenly luck were followed.

So I decided to calmly give up.

“I have to die this time too.”

“….”

Priscilla, with an emotionless expression on her face, began shuffling the cards again.

‘A and K, the shapes are different. Still, this isn’t bad.’

This is a good hand for gambling.

I checked my hand for the same amount of time as the previous hand, and put my hand on the table in the same motion.

Then he slowly raised his head and stared at Priscilla.

Our eyes met.

At first, she was startled whenever her eyes met like this, but now she doesn’t show any reaction as if she’s gotten used to her.

‘It’s a nonchalant expression.’

As if it was the first time we met, he has a really bored and boring expression.

“I will live this time.”

“I will live too.”

There’s only one way to hide your face so blatantly.

‘It’s a gamble.’

Then….

“It’s been quite some time.”

In order to escape from her knight leader’s clutches, I told her to come as early as possible.

Priscilla faithfully carried out my order and visited the imperial castle at a fairly early hour.

But perhaps because I was so engrossed in the game, quite a bit of time had already passed, and it was time to greet noon soon.

Now was the moment to put an end to the game.

“Let’s make this our last game.”

“… Yes, I understand.”

Priscilla opened her community card.

K, 3, 8.

The shapes are also different, and it is an ambiguous arrangement to say that they are consecutive numbers.

I don’t think you need to worry about the possibility of a flush or straight.

I looked up from the community card and carefully examined Priscilla’s complexion.

‘I was relieved.’

I went gambling and got caught.

I didn’t let out a sigh of relief because I was checking my eyes, but her hard expression slightly relaxed.

‘Straight or flush… No.’

There are 2 remaining community cards.

Even if the hand she is holding is of the same suit, it is a flush only if the same suit is drawn from the next two community cards.

It is also difficult to straighten.

4 Cards are empty between K and 8 and between 3 and 8.

If she is going for her straight, she must have consecutive numbers on her remaining 2 community cards.

If that was the case, I wouldn’t be able to put on such a relieved expression.

It was right to see relief as one pair or two pairs were completed with the community cards on the floor.

There was a possibility of a triple, but if it did, it would have been a little brighter, so it wouldn’t be that.

Sureuk.

One more community card turned over.

As a joke of fate, an A came out.

A, K two pair.

In fact, it was a situation where we could say that we had won the game.

Glance.

Priscilla is looking in my direction as she holds her hand in hers.

Until now, I had played the game quietly on the table, so did I have a change of heart?

‘Oh, is it to hide the expression?’

Certainly, even if only the lower crown is covered, the impression will change considerably.

One more community card has been opened.

9.

I ended up with two pairs of A and K.

Priscilla is also in a two-pair situation.

Then I can’t be defeated.

Keukkeuk….

You look good, witch!

It was nothing compared to being evaluated as a talented woman.

I don’t show my emotions when I don’t open my hand.

I was thinking of breaking that unwritten rule and making fun of the losers as winners.

One that moment.

Parrr.

The card Priscilla was holding shook slightly.

I’m still acting expressionless, but I know that expression.

It was the expression I often saw when playing with her sister, whom I called Triceratops in my previous life.

Is this guy really a witch?

… No!

‘This cunning and wicked witch!’

You think I’m going to fall for that kind of acting?!

You can’t win with games, so you can’t play tricks like that!

“9… 8 Two pair.”

Priscilla cautiously opened her hand.

Her delicate fingertips were trembling slightly.

It was a good hand with two pair, but it was the hand of someone who was prepared for defeat.

I let out a deep sigh as I threw the unopened card to Priscilla’s side.

“I lost.”

Priscilla looked at the card next to her with a puzzled expression.

Apparently, she didn’t even think that she would win.

“Why is that?”

“Ah….”

“Tsk. You are a lucky guy.”

… This is not sympathy.

Isn’t that what a famous gambler, a teacher named Goni, said?

I only take half of the money I win.

This is rice cake.

Priscilla, who has a strong desire to compete, should be given room so that she doesn’t lose her motivation quickly.

The experience of miraculous victory in a situation where defeat was almost certain.

It is just one of the gambler’s techniques for catching hukou.

I just laid the groundwork for her in order to catch Hogu as a witch.

… This is not sympathy or anything.

It’s just a strategy.

“As far as being an unwholesome hobby, it still seems to be lacking, Priscilla.”

I smiled mischievously at Priscilla, who hadn’t sorted out the cards yet, and stared blankly at her.

If I didn’t make fun of it like this, it was because I felt like I couldn’t make ends meet.

“I’ll play with you anytime, even if you don’t bother me that much. You won today, but there is no next time.”

When I said that and showed a displeased expression, Priscilla untied the corners of her mouth, perhaps realizing that she had won.

“Good… It was a win.”

“Yes, it was a good fight. It is worthwhile to endure, ignoring the call of nature.”

“….”

“Khehehehe!”

Priscilla is already a flirtatious woman with the scent of a woman, but she doesn’t seem immune to jokes like this yet.

“Are you busy, Priscilla?”

“No.”

“It is noon soon. Let’s have a meal together.”

“… Yes.”

Priscilla lowered her head at the slightest hint of her voice, she said in a creeping voice and turned her back to me.

Perhaps it was embarrassing to joke around in the bathroom, her ears peeking out through her elegant hair were dyed red.

I left Priscilla in the parlor and headed for the bathroom at a slightly faster pace than usual.

I made a little dirty joke like a waltz in the street talking drunk in broad daylight, but it was true that menstruation came.

……

…

“Whoa.”

I returned to the drawing room where Priscilla was waiting, thinking that I should drink tea in moderation next time.

Kikik.

When the door to the parlor opened, Priscilla, who was sitting in her chair, looked at me, as calmly as I had left.

“Ah, are you here?”

‘Hmm?’

Priscilla must have been quite happy that she had won the game. Unlike before she left, she had a very pretty smile.

You cheeky guy.

“A cheeky fellow.”

Ah.

Stop it without me noticing.

“Are you so excited that you just won the last round?”

“… Sorry.”

Why does a guy who says he’s sorry have his mouth twitch so much?

A disrespectful fellow.

“You seem to have liked the unwholesome hobby quite a bit. Something magical.”

As I said that, I went to her side and held out her arm. Priscilla naturally stood up from her seat and placed her hand on the arm I extended.

“… It’s a shame, but I think it’s good to have a sound hobby, Maximilian-sama.”

“I see.”

“Yes. So next….”

“What next?”

I felt a little bit of strength in Priscilla’s hand on my arm.

“I will suggest a wholesome game.”

“Whoa… Do you even want to win? A b*tch-like guy.”

She listened to my sarcasm, but Priscilla just smiled at how good she was.

A troublesome fellow.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, Maximilian.”

As we headed to her restaurant, accompanied by Priscilla, we were greeted by the servants who had been told in advance.

“Eat a lot. These are things you can’t easily eat anywhere.”

“Yes, Maximilian.”

Priscilla covered her mouth with an elegant expression, and she giggled.

This guy….

Maybe he has more appetite than he looks.

Of course, it’s more fun to have a luncheon with the royal family, which you can’t eat in a rural corner like Istria, than to gamble with a troublesome idiot.

… It was a thank you for saving me from the knight commander.

So today, I will understand with a generous heart, witch.
