What followed next was series of slow kisses, kneading, hand job and teases, as the duo melted in each other's lust, forgetting about whatever could be wrong with the world in that moment, as their moans floated all over the bath for the next four to five hours whilst they whispered sweet nothings at each other…

The princess would giggle happily at times, giggle coyly at other times, she would also softly moan occasionally as she basked in pure bliss…

Meanwhile…

Back at the Dogon Empire…

Just outside the Imperial Palace…

Rip!

The space in front of the Throne Hall ripped open like a piece of cloth as all the Imperial Guards in the vicinity swiftly gathered around and pointed their spears towards the portal with solemn expressions on their faces;

Anyone within the entire Dynasty who has the guts to actually appear directly in front of the Throne Hall without passing through the checkpoints of the Imperial Palace or announcing their arrival beforehand would definitely either be aggressively looking to die or simply so powerful that he didn't put the experts within the Imperial Palace in his eyes at all…

Whereas; deep within the Imperial Palace was a chamber with a golden double door, and standing guard at this entrance were four Saint Stage experts, two on each sides, with flat expressions and burly but nimble looking statures…

Within the Chamber itself, were four figures gathered around a table with a three way chessboard right in front of them…

On the one side was the Crown Prince and opposite him was his father Chu Zong to the left and his grandfather Patriarch Chu Huang, whilst a mysterious hooded figure stood within the room simply looking at the trio play chess whilst he sipped some wine from his cup…

The entire chamber was silent and Chu Yang was currently sweating whilst his father was very serious with his index finger beneath his chin in deep thought, and finally Patriarch Chu Huang who sat back with folded arms and a victorious smile plastered in his face;

'This old geezer is too experienced and tactical for his sons, they stand no chance against him…'

The mysterious hooded figure thought to himself as he gazed at the smiling Patriarch Chu Huang, before shaking his head as if admitting defeat for the father and son duo as he placed his cps back on his lips…

Back at the table Chu Yang was still sweating, this game was taking more mental and logical strength from him than he had anticipated…

He had gone to learn and study about playing chess from the Imperial Advisor who as the oldest figure in the Imperial Palace, and the man had taught him how to play chess the old way using ancient tactics, whilst his master had thought him the modern way of playing chess…

His father however treated the chess like a battleground with enemies on both sides and he took an aggressive stance towards the game sacrificing one to take two out of his own and one from his grandfather…

But his grandfather on the other hand treated this diplomatically, and instead of facing the two of them, he would pit the father and son together by intentionally moving a sacrificial piece to a position where both father and son would feel it was an easy target…

That would then turn the competition to the father and son to determine who would get the sacrificial piece first, and it was Chu Yang that lost out on almost every occasion and thus, Chu Yang had the fewest piece on the boar whilst his father still had an ample amount left, but his grandfather on the other hand had more piece than both of them combined…

So, now that the game was at its concluding stages, the father and son duo finally realized that Patriarch Chu Huang had taken a passive stance whilst allowing both of them to finish each other off before he would then swoop in and clean the board…

"Father, you're wicked…" Chu Zong blurted when he realized there was no way to win the game even if he collaborated with his son;

"Hehe, you both still have a long way to go before you can defeat him…" The mysterious hooded figures chuckled as he blurted;

"Eh? Master, do you know something we don't?"

Chu Yang had a surprised expression as he asked, but the hooded figure gazed towards Patriarch Huang and Patriarch Zong and when they nodded their heads, he walked up to the table and explained;

"Your majesty was not calm and composed throughout the game… Your desire to prove yourself to your father and grandfather is what cost you the game…"

"Fine, you must have learnt the old ways of the game from someone and combined it with the modern ways I taught you, but there is an ingredient missing…" The figure explained;

"Eh? What am I missing?"

"You did learn how to play chess from two people, but you are akin to someone who was given a technique which had all its moves drawn into its manual, and though, you might comprehend the technique by following the images depicted on it, but you will never be able to consummate it without knowing the mystical nature, feelings and emotions that goes with the technique…"

"Then as a result, once you meet someone who has all these things, they will make you feel like you didn't even open the technique manual in the first place…"

"You must have your own unique way of playing chess, and to do that, you must liken the game to real life situations where you must tactically and logically find solutions to any pinch you find yourself…"

"When you do that, the game cease to become a game and becomes a real life situation where your opponent becomes a threat you must snuff out…"

The hooded figure explained whilst Chu Yang looked to the game and went deep in thought;

"What about Zong'er… What did he do wrong?" Patriarch Chu Huang asked with a smile;

"Well, he is a pro at the game, but he sticks to the aggressive approach and whilst that s excellent because he is an expert at it, once he meets an opponent who is an expert on both aggressive and passive style like you, then it would end up in a flawless defeat for him…" The hooded figure explained...
