The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1011

Chapter 1011

The clash of titans left everyone in awe, with the two opponents evenly matched from the get-go, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

This was the essence of a chess game!

This was what made it interesting!

Mr. Eugene was reveling in the competition, and his spirits lifted.

On the other hand, Arabella was not as aloof as she had been with Alma. She was deeply engaged, her eyes sparkling with interest as if playing with an old friend, watching Mr. Eugene, the charming old man, with an air of casual amusement.

“Ha-ha! Got you!” Mr. Eugene was elated. Capturing one of Arabella’s pieces felt more rewarding than capturing a hundred from someone else!

Arabella couldn't help but smile. One piece, and the old man was over the moon. She wondered how long it had been since he had last tasted victory.

Everyone thought Arabella would be defeated, yet as the minutes ticked by, they remained on equal footing, their skills evenly matched.

Who was this Arabella, and from whom did she learn to play?

How could she stand her ground against Mr. Eugene for so long?

Was she even human?

The spectators from Westerly College were stunned. Their top-ranked student was holding her own against Mr. Eugene!

The game had been going on for half an hour, and neither of them had gained an upper hand. They had captured the same number of pieces!

How did she manage that?

Mr. Eugene was secretly delighted. He had not practiced in vain all these months to be able to hold his own against this young lady!

“Considering how busy you've been lately, you've neglected your training.

Look at you now, you're rusty."

With Arabella's skills, she should have been able to beat him within half an hour.

But now.

Just as Mr. Eugene felt smug, Arabella captured three pieces. Surprised, He gaped at her, "You!"
