They put stones on the board one after the other. However, Miguel was becoming a little slower in taking his turn. And Harper
was a little impatient, so she picked up the book beside her and continued reading while playing the game with him.
When Miguel saw that, he turned ghastly pale. He didn't know what to say. He had been trapped in a little bit of trouble because
of Harper's move, and he didn't know how to find a way out. In each of his turn, he would think for a long time before placing a
stone. But Harper would drop one so quickly that it seemed like she didn't need time to think. It was making the self-proclaimed
"expert in Go" feel hot on his face.
"I surrender!" Miguel threw the stone back into the container, feeling a little upset. "Your Highness, are you even a human? You
weren't concentrating on the game but you even cornered me! And I considered myself to be an expert in Go!"
Harper glanced at Miguel frostily. "If Rolando played this game with me, he wouldn't be like you."
"His Majesty has been playing Go since he was a child. How can I ever compare to him?"

"If it wasn't for the fatuous late emperor, your nation wouldn't have been tormented by such troubles. Although Lucas is talented
in all respects, there are far too many hidden dangers. He is determined to change the situation, but he might not have enough
power to do that."
"Sometimes we need to do things with utmost determination and without even a drop of hesitation," Harper said slowly. Lucas
didn't have the will to make decisions with urgency and conviction. But fortunately, Zack was with him. The Bright Dynasty would
become stronger sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.
