He looked just like a kid that had just found a new playmate after being left alone in his bedroom without any company for far too long. Unfortunately, I was that playmate that he found.

“Gomoku…?” I repeated that alien sounding name in a murmur as I stared at the board he had placed on the table between us.

“Never heard of it before?” the prince guessed quite correctly.

“Never,” I replied in short.

“Good. You’ll at least learn something new tonight. I’ll teach you,” the prince offered excitedly.

I stared at the board before I directed my gaze and started staring at the prince’s handsome face. When he brought me to his living quarters and then to his bedroom, I honestly didn’t think that he was seriously going to be playing a game with me in the most literal sense of the word.
