Lian's POV (present)
"Each of us got a key, but...how about the Red Queen?! First Cousin found it in Uncle Korn's vault. But Khun Kan gave you the Red Queen Key. Are there two keys then?!"
"Well observed! Yes, there are. One for each firstborn: one for Thankun and one for Porsche."
Lian's POV (past memories)
"In case I'm not around anymore, give the red queen to my sister Namphueng's firstborn when you're sure he is not at my brother's side...explain him how the Chess Room works."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Khun Kan. You can do it yourself."
"..." Khun Kan just gave me a faint smile.
"Who is he?!"
"His name is Porsche. You'll hear about him in the near future."
"Where's him now?!"
"He's my nephew Kinn's lover. He's at the Main Family House."
"Uhhh?!Really? Dysfunctional family, from what I see."
"Dysfunctional indeed."
"Why wouldn't he be in Korn's favor?!"
"I will unmask my brother and end this for good. Porsche will know the truth and pick the right side, I hope. If doesn't, just keep this key with you."
"Give it a second thought, Khun Kan. Do not confront your brother. I can't help you now."
"Don't worry, Lian. All I need from you is that you keep your promise in case I come to fail. Deliver all chess room keys and..."
"Keep your son and Phong apart".
"Yes."
"Why are you so worried about that? As far as I could understand, they don't even acknowledge each other's existence anymore."
"Lian...there's something you must know about Pete..."
"My second white knight..." I shake the white knight key with the tip of his fingers.
"He's your white queen."
"White Queen?! Phong?!"
"Yes. His mother was the former white queen. I'll explain it to you."
"Wow...I feel like an idiot. It was so obvious. Why was my grandfather so interested in observing his progress personally?! Why was he the only one not trained in our facilities?! Why was I always kept by his side...taking care of him...If not because Phong would be my main partner in the chessboard?! I wished he was not."
"Why?!"
"Because he saved my life. And being my queen, he would die for me, isn't it?! How would I repay him twice?!"
