Chapter 258: Lot To Talk
For two days, as ordered by her great grandmother, Talia stayed in her house, planning for the Spring Ball. On the third day, she couldn’t keep herself locked up anymore and bringing Bear along, visited her grandfather. Her grandfather had a little scare previous night as his blood pressure dropped suddenly and Talia only felt better after he got stabilised.
He was supposed to be on bed rest.
But when she got to the cottage, she was surprised to see her Grandpa playing chess in the garden, with none other than.... Walter Trembley.
"Your Royal Highness," noticing Talia entering the garden, Walter stood up and gave a bow.
Talia nodded with a polite smile and went straight to her Grandpa and after kissing him on the cheek, proceeded to sit beside her Grandpa.
"This young lad is pretty good at chess..."
Talia looked at her Grandpa, actually admiring Walter’s skills.
The chirps of little birds filled the place and buzzing bees busied themselves by getting nectar from one flower to another. The fishes in the little pond made little ripples on the surface of the pond and the surrounding song of the trees was very pleasant to hear.
In that pleasant atmosphere, Talia observed Walter and she could understand his character as he played chess. He was pretty strategic, not very keen on going offensive and very good at defense and when he marked something, he was good at getting it.
Not bad! But... Why is Grandpa praising him? He should know by now why Walter visited him, right?
