I'm glad you liked that line! 💗🙇‍♀️

The Assistant knows he can't get in, and that it won't be so easy to get Grace to come out again, so he's more careful now.

You'll see what's going on in the next chapter, hehe!

He's a master manipulator, after all. He knows how to say just the right things💦

Tell an impatient three-year-old to draw a bird and you'll probably get something similar – almost as bad. 🤣

Thank you, Kowa-sensei! Love your comments! 🤭

Lucien seems casual and non-serious, but he can be deep sometimes. 🥰

You don't like tomatoes?! Seriously? I can't believe it! Oh, well. Good thing you haven't read my other novel; it's chock-full of tomato jokes, hehe.😆

Ending is kinda unexpected, right? Good! 🤭

LOL. Love your wit.

Absolutely. Writers who don't think their characters through are not fun to read.

But you're good at that.

Thank you so much for your praise! 🙇‍♀️ I try my best to keep it real, and I'm happy if I succeeded.😊

"Season" 7? You're already thinking in terms of anime, aren't you...😏 Manga/books would be in volumes, right?

In real-life chess tournaments, we don't bet our lives away either, so I suppose a little talking won't hurt in your fictionalised version😆

My friend, it WILL be a thing! One day, you'll be posting a book called 'En Passant Grandmaster gets anime adaption', and it won't be a prank 🤣

You're enjoying this in the best way! Keeping a chessboard would help us visualise it, hehe😍

And I agree! This NEEDS to become an anime! I'm surprised it hasn't been picked yet! 😍

You'll see Squeaks pop up in later chapters too, hehe; I like him too LOL.

The Assistant is crazy, indeed 😂 And evil😭

Lucien's lived in Hell all his life, so he kind of underestimated the danger for poor Grace.
