"Y-you, how can you say that when you brought up this topic to distract me from the game so you could win" Dante was ready to accept his defeat because he knew Herd tricked him.
Tristan shook his head and looked at Ashley, who had this amused face. She was yet to know the relationship they shared.
"You have to keep your thoughts intact, knowing that the opponent is way smart" Herd words made Dante fume.
"I won't accept the defeat," he declared making Herd scoff.
"Now you will act like a child. Just grow up, Dante. You aren't getting young. Just accept you're losing and end this argument."
Herd didn't want to extend this quarrel and wanted Dante to let go of his ego accepting his defeat.
"No... I will never give in to your words" Dante pushed the chess board and looked away. He was acting like a stubborn kid.
"Okay then, as you wish. But don't come running to me when you start getting bored" Herd, too, wouldn't stop now.
