198 he would shift here

It's been an hour since I was looking at the chess and then at the man who had trapped me. He made it like he did not know much about chess and his starting moves were all over as if he was playing randomly.

Yet now the whole area was covered by him strategically. No matter what I move, my defeat was fixed.

I could see the pride on Marianne's face and the smirk on her brother's face, while Killian just looking at us curiously. He still be hoping for me to win. I was once again trapped by him, and I was ashamed to say but I did underestimate him.

I had never heard of him playing chess or doing anything that was done without using power. So i thought it would be easy for me to win, but now i had realised he was just provoking me since the start.

"There should be some time limit on thinking too. Move your pieces, your highness" he spoke finally and I sighed.
