Fake heiress Real heroine

Chapter 45

Among the exceptional children in the chess association, not everyone could achieve such feats. Yet, here stood Quinlyn, confidently claiming her mastery.

Danny had no doubts about the truth of her statement; after facing her across the chessboard, it was clear that her skill was outstanding.

However, as he looked down at the board, he wondered how her ability could have been achieved merely through memorizing.

‘What is really going on with Quinlyn?‘ With this question on his mind, Danny started to approach their match with a new seriousness, his pacing becoming more deliberate.

The others in the living room gradually shifted their focus to the chessboard, their attention sharpening. They all knew the game and could see how Danny’s initial advantage was slowly slipping away while Quinlyn continued to gain strength.

It felt as though she had found a worthy opponent. She was learning from their exchanges on the board, trying to mimic his strategic insights until she eventually pulled ahead.

In a moment of tension, Danny thought he had escaped a carefully set trap, but then he realized, with a chill, that his piece had landed in a dangerous spot, causing a bead of cold sweat to trickle down his spine.

As he surveyed the board again, his hand shook in surprise, nearly bumping into the other pieces as he distractedly tried to think.

Stanley, left speechless, stared at the board in disbelief and whispered, “Did Quinlyn just win?”

Leonard adjusted his glasses and nodded. “Yes, and she captured six pieces in the process.”

Quinlyn’s victory was clearly well–earned.

Staring blankly at the board, Danny finally lifted his eyes to Quinlyn and pointed at the very first move, asking, “Did you start your strategy from this position?”

Quinlyn explained, “I figured you would relax at the beginning, so I had to set my position early. Otherwise, with my current skills, I wouldn’t stand a chance against you.”
