I hummed quietly to myself as I stared down at the chessboard, taking in the positions of the pieces and crafting a new strategy to counter Leone's ambitious, entirely offensive strategy that threatened to break down my defenses and swiftly capture my Queen and King.
The sun was slowly drifting down towards the horizon, the orange sphere of flames dangling in the clear blue sky warming up the Palace and gardens around it, bathing us in a nice warmth and leaving us feeling comfortable as we sat in the midst of a sea of green.
A nice floral scent wafted through the air, slightly sweet and slightly earthy, which complimented the simple red wine that we had brought out with us to further enjoy this nice day, especially with the added enjoyment of playing a good game of chess.
