As both sides reached the middle of the game, Zhao Douan calmly said, "You've lost."
Princess Chen remained silent, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at this mysterious and powerful man, realizing that his chess skill was the best she had ever seen.
She bit her lip, gazing at the sun outside the chess house and said, "Let's have another round."
Zhao Douan nodded, "Alright, but according to the rules of the chess society, the loser has to pay, right?"
The Princess did not hesitate. She took a golden leaf from the purse at her waist and slid it toward Zhao Douan.
The second game began.
This time, Princess Chen didn't dare to be the least bit careless. She proceeded cautiously, her demeanor incredibly focused, as if the chessboard was a matter of life and death. Zhao Douan, however, remained calm and casual. This time, before reaching the middle of the game, the Princess admitted defeat and offered a second golden leaf.
Then the third game began...
