"Very well then," he set up the pieces for play, though he sensed an omnimus presence behind him. "Ladies first," The game proceeded, with the regular openings and pawn-capturings.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Allen watched the match, for the tipping point of the game, where a single capture could determine the match, and then it came. The princess's white King was in a dangerous position, with the black Queen leading the attack.<br/><br/>Allen knew, that in a matter of turns it would be over if a sacrifice was not made. Allen took three steps forward, his sleeves barely rustling as his arms reached for the white pawn, moving it forward in such a way that the Queen would die the very next turn, no matter what. And so, if Kyle had not seen the underlying part of the move, he would have his Queen to capture the pawn, and be consumed by the Black King, pulling off a kill and an escape at the same time. Despite an aura which radiated from the princess, screaming a big, "NO" to his actions, he still carried on.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Kyle froze, how could he have not seen? He looked behind to see who was the person who aided Taya, it was Allen. He was about to say something when Allen said, in a slightly amused voice, "It's your turn sir."<br/><br/>Turning back to the board, the prince took the only option available, the Queen took her consolation prize, the black Pawn.
