The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1505

The arrival of such a masterful figure naturally turned heads.

What stunned the crowd wasn't just his appearance but his affectionate demeanor towards Arabella, treating her with the warmth and tenderness akin to a grandfather doting on his favorite granddaughter.

The real shocker, however, was his words that set the whole room abuzz. This teenage girl was Queena??

Impossible!

"Mr. Jarvis, you're saying she's Queena? The whiz at chess?"

"Wasn't Queena supposed to be a senior? How come it's a young girl, and such a pretty one at that?"

"Didn't Serena claim Queena was her mentor? If her mentor is right here, how come she didn't recognize her?"

"What in the world is going on?"

Serena's face went as white as a sheet, utterly astonished as she gazed at Arabella before her.

Arabella didn't deny being Queena. Could it be true that she was indeed the person??

Martin was equally taken aback. Who would have thought this unassuming girl harbored such a formidable identity?

During a casual visit at the Bard's residence in Dawnstar, he had by chance heard about Arabella's miraculous medical skill and her musical talents under the name Melody. Today, it was as if he was meeting her all over again - this time, as a chess master.

This was a status many professional chess players strove for years to achieve yet never reached, and yet, this young girl, it was almost too astounding to believe.

Alma was just as surprised. She had just asked Mr. Albright when Queena would arrive and had insinuated Arabella's chess setup was far too simplistic, wondering if Queena would find it overly elementary.

Little did she know that the creator of the chess setup was none other than Queena herself, closer than anyone could imagine!
