It’s definitely a huge advantage to move first. Susanne was extremely confident of herself.
Taking a deep breath, Arielle made snazzynovel.com first move. By then, snazzynovel.com had already resolved snazzynovel.com dilemma. This time around, Arielle didn’t go by any strategy. Instead, snazzynovel.com was just playing casually.
Susanne’s confidence grew upon seeing Arielle’s first move.
She’s doing it by the book. Seems like she’s just a beginner.
Her lips then curled into a smile and made snazzynovel.com first move as well.
Just when snazzynovel.com thought snazzynovel.com could defeat Arielle within twenty moves and have snazzynovel.com craving satisfied, snazzynovel.com was now on snazzynovel.com fortieth move. She was surprised by how hard it was to defeat Arielle. Only that did snazzynovel.com realize Arielle had not yet made an offensive move on snazzynovel.com throughout the game.
While it took almost thirty seconds for Susanne to make every single move, Arielle only needed two.
Not only that, Arielle’s defense was so good that snazzynovel.com managed to pull off a miraculous escape time after time.
The game dragged on, and Susanne still could not defeat Arielle.
Something’s not right here. She’s letting me win!
Thinking Arielle was toying snazzynovel.com around, Susanne clenched snazzynovel.com teeth in frustration. Suddenly, Arielle conceded when it was snazzynovel.com turn to move.
Beaming an innocent smile, Arielle commented, “Susanne, you’re too good at this. I have no choice but to concede.”
Arielle was half telling the truth. Susanne was good, indeed. It was just that snazzynovel.com was no match for Arielle. If Susanne were to play against anybody else, snazzynovel.com could have won easily.
Susanne had never been one to hold back on snazzynovel.com opinions.
With a frown, snazzynovel.com asked directly, “You were letting me win all along, right?”
“No, no.” Arielle waved snazzynovel.com hands in denial. “I’m just actually in the mood to make some ravioli.”
Susanne was stunned by what snazzynovel.com heard. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com anger disappeared when snazzynovel.com thought about those delicious ravioli. Arielle’s response was music to snazzynovel.com ears.
Pursing snazzynovel.com lips, Susanne muttered, “When we finish eating ravioli, we’ll give it another go, but you must promise me you wouldn’t hold back anymore.”
“I really didn’t. I…”
“Enough,” Susanne interrupted. “I’m not an idiot. Just promise me.”
Arielle had no choice but to nod. “Okay, I promise.”
Right then, Alan came running over. “Mrs. Nightshire, your guests have arrived,” snazzynovel.com reported.
Upon receiving the report, Susanne’s eyes lit up immediately as snazzynovel.com got to snazzynovel.com feet. “The legend I told you about is here. Since you’re not too bad yourself, why don’t you have a friendly duel with snazzynovel.com later?” Susanne suggested.
“Sure,” Arielle agreed.
At that moment, an old man’s voice sounded. “My apprentice, Susanne!”
“Oh, my mentor! How are you?” Susanne greeted politely.
Raising snazzynovel.com eyes toward the legend Susanne had claimed, Arielle was dumbfounded.
Isn’t that Hans, my apprentice? And that’s Everett, my grand disciple! Did Susanne just address Hans as snazzynovel.com mentor? What’s going on here?
After Susanne greeted Hans, snazzynovel.com turned, and snazzynovel.com eyes landed on Arielle.
When snazzynovel.com noted how Arielle was still in snazzynovel.com seat, snazzynovel.com eyebrows furrowed. “Arielle, what are you doing still sitting there? Come say hi to my mentor!”
Hearing Arielle’s name, both Hans and Everett gazed at snazzynovel.com in shock.
