The room erupted into cheers as Aeric moved that final piece on the Player X Player board, securing his victory. When the tudum sound came after, it was barely even audible, Kael had jumped to his feet and yelled with excitement.
Alzera froze for a moment, her hand hovering above the game pieces, and for that moment, she struggled to comprehend the defeat. The manner it had been handed to her. Aeric completely outsmarted her, she couldn't even gain a single point!
"You were awesome, Young Master!" Kael clapped Aeric's back so hard that he nearly toppled over, laughing heartily as he ruffled the boy's hair.
Ryn looked at Kael with a brow raised. "You do remember that you bet against him, right?"
Kael looked at Ryn and grinned proudly. "Which is why he won! He had something to prove because I underplayed his intelligence. And now... Now he's victorious."
Ryn rolled his eyes. "That's one way to put it."
