But peace was a lie. His phone buzzed just as he reached the foot of the stairs. No message, no signature,private line, just a one line text: “Game on - and you're already in check.” Connel froze, the screen glowing in his hands. And far away from that mansion, someone was already moving a piece on the chessboard.

And shaking a lot, she asks a misunderstanding question, “what do you mean, I don’t know what you’re talking about?” “In the game of chess, keeping the most powerful pieces in the safest squares is a reassuring guarantee, isn’t it true, professor? That’s why you “changed house”, so to speak... ending up here in Romântica, I suppose... A much safer one, just like in the game... it brought you mental and physical peace”, he reveals in a tone of insinuation. “Could you be clearer and more direct?” Tense, she tries to find out how much her opponent knows.

she smiled excitedly, pointing to the chessboard. “Ugh, just because she's the best chess player in this whole Castle,” Tori explained, making me shake my head. “That's true, but I'll let Lady Samantha win today,” Ysabella bragged. “Uh, how complacent,” I joked, rolling my eyes, exchanging laughs with them. So we sat down at the game table and played chess while Tori bothered us and distracted us with gossip and nonsense.

Only then did Maxwell remember that he was still carrying the gift, so he hurried forward and opened the gift in front of Myles. After opening it was an antique chess box. In front of Myles, he slowly opened the chess box. Inside were two intricate round compartments with white and black chess pieces. The white pieces were slightly translucent in warm beige, while the black pieces were smooth and pure onyx black. The chess box unfolded into a chess board after turning it upside down, exuding a faint earthy fragrance. Although Sonnet did not know much about wood, she could feel that the material of this chess board must be made with high quality wood.

But on that table, there was a giant chessboard, with pieces set up for a game. I walked closer, admiring the intricacy of the board and remembering the two chess pieces I had found in Lachlan’s bedroom. They obviously weren’t from this set as these weren’t crystal. These pieces were made of polished oak wood, even the smallest of piece— a pawn was as big as my finger. "You play?” I asked. Olezka leaned against the table, looking at me with a half-smile. “Yes. Do you know how to play?” I grinned back, a challenge lighting up inside me. “Let’s find out.”

A warning light blinked as it passed, and the trio waited silently until it was gone. Only then did Abigail speak.“Every time I see one of those things, I wonder what it’d take to bring one down.” “One dream too many, maybe.” Tunde said, he looked up, past the quarry’s ridge.There it was again, the Citadel. White and gold, suspended like a god’s mirage behind the shimmer of protective fields. Its smooth towers glowed even through the smog. Somewhere in there, music played through perfect speakers, food was hot every night, and sickness… was curable.

“Wanna try it, Mr. Evans?” “Sure. Why not? And Maddie, call me Tyson.” I say. “Oh, you asked for it, Tyson.” Patty says with a wink at Maddie. Maddie has a very mischievous grin, like she’s just got one over on me. Little does she know; I’m good at chess but even better at trivia. Maddie pulls out the game board and I notice that there are pieces missing and that they’re using tiny origami figures in place of the knights and queens. As she’s setting up, I link over to Melinda again.

But one thing was clear— My father had lied to me. And now, Cassian Moreau wanted me to take my father’s place. The Game Begins The next morning, an envelope arrived at the estate. There was no return address. No markings. Just my name written in perfect script. I opened it. Inside was a single card. A chess piece—**a king—**drawn in black ink. And beneath it, a single line of text. Welcome to the game. —Cassian Moreau

I forgot how it is called. “What is that move again?” I asked her. “Castling,” she said. Oh yes, I remember it now. I want to make that move, too. I think it’s cool. “It’s like a move where the king escapes from his throne and let himself stuck at the corner. Isn’t he a scaredy-cat?” I saw her smiling while saying those words. I don’t know if it is just me or she wants to say something behind those. I’m not too fond of it. It gives me chills all over my body. Now I realized her eyes are not just deep; it’s fervid.

The atmosphere was relaxing, inviting. "Wow, this castle is absolutely stunning. I can't believe how beautiful it looks," Pawn Clara said, looking at the castle with her mouth open in surprise. "Yeah, it's amazing. I heard that the bridge in the center is actually a drawbridge. Can you imagine how cool it would be to see it in action?" Bishop Eloise said, seeing the surprise in her eyes. "Can we come to this castle easily like this?" Pawn Clara suddenly asked because she remembered no outsiders were allowed in the Dark Shadow Coven like this.
