Randy stared at the chat on his phone, his jaw dropping wider and wider until it looked like he could fit a whole egg in there.

At the same time, the girl in front of him seemed more and more familiar. He was almost sure he’d once seen her while he was practicing, watched her walk into the private back courtyard.

The whole way over, Randy was stuck somewhere between shock and outright disbelief.

He led Cassia into a quiet inner room and poured her a glass of wine.

“Please wait here a moment. I’ll go let my master know you’ve arrived.”

“Okay.” Cassia wasn’t in any rush. She sat down, fished a pawn out of a box, and dropped it casually onto the board.

Before leaving, Randy happened to notice how she was holding the pawn.

A trained player lifts a chess piece cleanly–thumb and forefinger, controlled, precise. But the girl grabbed her pieces the way someone snatches snacks from a plate.

She looked like a total amateur. Was she really the legendary chess prodigy people talked about?

Or had someone been playing a very convincing bluff?

Randy had heard plenty of stories: people faking it for clout or cash, even daring to challenge the real masters–only to get completely destroyed and blacklisted into oblivion.

The legendary player was such a hot topic that some girl trying to fake being her… wasn’t impossible at all.

Forget it. No point guessing in circles. He’d know if she was real or not once his master got here.

Personally, Randy still felt the odds leaned heavy toward “fake.”

If she were a fake, he’d personally see this vain, ing poser thrown out of Westhill Residence, blacklisted, and banned for life.

Right–he should shut the door so she couldn’t an off!

Randy shut the door firmly, checked that it was secure, and then headed to the inner room

where Henry was.

“Master, she’s here.”

Henry got to his feet, visibly excited. Draven paused mid–sip and looked up at Randy.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up, let’s go! It wasn’t easy getting her to agree to come,” Henry urged, hurrying toward the door.

“Oh, right-” After a few steps, Henry turned back toward Draven.

“You brat, don’t you dare come over and mess this up.”

“Relax. If she hasn’t agreed to see me, I won’t go Draven said calmly.

Henry didn’t really think Draven would do something like that, but just in case, he mentioned it anyway.

Once Henry left, Seven felt like there was a cat clawing around inside his chest.

“Mr. Grey, you’re really just doing what he says? He tells you not to go, and you actually won’t? You seriously don’t want to see what the player who shocked the entire chess world. looks like?”

Draven lifted a white piece from the case with practiced ease and placed it on the board in one smooth, textbook move–the kind of clean, confident placement that marked a seasoned chess player.

“It’s not obedience. It’s respect.”

Seven shrugged. As expected, his attempts to provoke Draven were completely useless.

“Sit. Next game,” Draven said, voice cool as ever.

“Huh? I don’t even know how to play.”

“You can learn.”

Seven had no words for that.

Seven reluctantly sat across from him, clutching the white pieces.

“Fine, then. Today I’ll pretend to be the legendary player for a day.”

With that, Seven placed a piece on the board.

“Ah, you finally made it. It’s been far too long,” Henry said warmly.

“Yeah. My hands were itching,” Cassia replied.

Randy watched, dumbfounded, as his master sat opposite Cassia, chatting and laughing with easy familiarity–and then saw Cassia place a white piece on the board without a moment’s hesitation.

“Shocked” didn’t even begin to cover it–this was shock on top of shock.

If earlier, seeing the girl made his jaw drop wide enough for one egg, now he could fit two.

Randy stared at Cassia’s still–youthful face.

This girl really is the legendary player?!

He still found it unreal. When he’d first led her inside, he’d honestly thought there had to be some kind of mistake.

And earlier, the way she’d handled the chess pieces had been worse than a beginner’s.

With questions swirling in his head, Randy watched his master and the girl play.

It was Henry’s turn to move.
