After giving it much thought, Jessica Daimler eventually took her seat. 'I can't be a sore loser. Even if it means embarrassing myself, I can't earn a reputation of being one to go back on my words. Otherwise, my reputation in the circle will be ruined.'
The chessboard was set.
Of course, given Jessica Daimler's status, she wouldn't make the first move.
She handed a notebook over to Megan Daimler. "Keep count of my moves. If I don't win the game within 50 moves, I'll admit defeat."
This was the only method Jessica Daimler had thought of to salvage the situation. Given her status, it would be no different from a defeat if she needed more than 50 moves to win against this novice.
Jessica Daimler had full confidence in herself, but nobody thought that she was wrong in doing so. Of course, if she had boasted about her abilities in front of her mentor, they definitely would've reprimanded her.
