The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1501

Reporters had tried to interview the elusive chess prodigy's opponents, but no one spilled the beans. The identity of Queena had become something of an enigma.

Some said she was a beautiful girl, while others insisted she was a weathered old woman.

Regardless of her age, the world never stopped speculating about her.

"If she were here, Arabella would surely be no match for her, right?"

"I wonder if we'll get the chance to see her today."

"Serena, has Queena arrived yet?"

Suddenly, Lindsay's voice cut through the murmur of the crowd.

She asked Serena curiously, arm-in-arm with her, "Didn't you say Queena once gave you some pointers? That kinda makes you her protege."

It was too late for Serena to silence her.

All eyes turned to Serena, filled with shock, surprise, and disbelief.

"Isn't that Serena Collins, the daughter of the Collins family?"

"She's a protege of Queena?"

"I can't believe Queena actually mentored her."

"It's not strange at all, given her status. It's no wonder Queena chose her as a protege."
