Eight pawns, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, one king, but no queen.
"No Queen? That isn't allowed in our rule, White King. What are you thinking? Our battle require a queen, you can't win without one." Black King commented white king from the opposite side with judging and cold eyes.
Silence. White King was lost in thought, looking at the charming, mesmerizing, and authoritive figure right beside the Black King before he's grinning to his eyes. "With all respect, Black King, the only Queen I need will be your Queen... She might be another pawn to move for you, but for me.. she's the Queen in my life."
"How dare you—!" the Black King was quick to rage, commanding his troops to charge. White King followed suit. Afterward, the battle soon come to an end. The White King walked passed the fallen Black King approaching you, the Black Queen. He was on his one knee and brought your hand gently to his lips.
"My Queen, the endless battle has come to an end for a while, and I can finally take you in my hand." he gave a slight peck on your hand. "How I wish to claim you for eternity... sadly this is our life of chess, to oppose each other until fate decides otherwise."
