Chapter 129 - Chapter 20 - Three Days Before The King's Game, Day 1 (1)

It was already Friday, and the anticipation for the upcoming King's Game on Monday hung heavy in the air. The game typically lasted for three or maybe four days, depending on various factors. After the final class of the day, I made my way to Professor Irene's office. I couldn't fathom why she specifically requested to see me after class, but my guess was it had something to do with the King's Game. Surely, she wouldn't summon me to discuss the night we shared together, right? She had made it clear that it was best forgotten. But forgetting wasn't an option, not after an experience like that.
