Does Claire qualify as a chess player?

Of course eligible.

As one of the five partners who advanced and retreated together in Santos Town back then, in fact, his ability and inheritance were not weaker than the three Clayderman siblings, but the resources he could control and the forces behind him were far inferior.

In the current situation of insufficient information, when he chooses to jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player, his thinking is no longer limited to the angle of the chess pieces. He doesn't need to think about how to cooperate with Charlotte now, and he doesn't have to think about whether Charlotte just appeared is real or not, he just needs to build his own plan and achieve his goals. The plan was to conceal all players and potential enemies, including, of course, Charlotte.

"I have a rough plan. ”

Claire Mo rubbed her chin and briefly recounted the plan she had just come up with. Vivien Leigh didn't feel anything yet, but there was surprise in Neam's eyes, and he realized that at that moment, Claire had undergone some subtle changes.

"No problem. When he had finished, Vivien Leigh immediately replied, "I'll go to Cecilia first and talk to her about it." Huh, what about Cecilia?"

Only then did several people discover that Cecilia was not at the venue for some reason, and the suspected fake Charlotte was also missing.

Vivien Leigh's face changed, and she was about to make a move but was stopped by Claire, "Leave Cecilia's affairs to me, you go and inform Her Highness Rebecca of them, remember, don't let the rest of your companions out of your sight in the process." ”

Vivien Leigh nodded helplessly, she understood that the task of informing Rebecca and Cynthia and the others could only be entrusted to her, because only Vivien Leigh could gain their unreserved trust.

Claire's guess was correct!

The real Charlotte is breaking through the Nine Rings in the basement of the royal mansion at the moment, and here it is indeed the astral body that has escaped Charlotte's control.

Ai Wen used the secret method of time and space to cut off the connection between the astral body and the main body, on the condition that the astral body confessed all the plans and cooperated with Aven to win the war.

In pursuit of freedom, the astral body finally accepted the suggestion after several entanglements. Now he can't simply be called a starlight body, he really doesn't have flesh and blood, just a wonderful creation made of demonic energy. But even if he has some of Charlotte's memories, we can no longer call him an astral body, because he is already a wonderful independent person without shackles.

To distinguish himself from Charlotte, he gave himself a name, Victor.

The reason why Victor wondered when Vivien Leigh asked, 'Have you broken through the Nine Rings?' is simple, because there was no plan to break through the Nine Rings in his false memory. His intelligence was on par with Charlotte's, and his way of thinking was much the same, and almost instantly, he realized that Charlotte had not instilled a real plan into his mind.

He thought to himself, it really deserves to be Charlotte! That man may not have thought that the astral body was so wonderful that it could have an independent mind and personality after cutting off contact, but he must have considered that Evan had the means to probe his memory. So, now everything in his mind about the plan may be a false fake.

He thought about notifying Evan of the error, but he quickly gave up on the idea.

What kind of person was Charlotte? He longed for freedom and didn't want to be bound by established rules. In this case, Victor, who can be called a copy of him to some extent, naturally does not want to be bound by anyone.

What good would it do to him if he informed Evan of the 'Breakthrough of the Nine Rings'? Assuming that Evan won, would Evan really allow Victor to exist? Victor didn't want to leave his fate in the hands of others.

He is a strange being formed by the convergence of demonic energy, which means that he will die when the demonic energy dissipates. If he wants to continue to survive, the first thing to do is to leave the terrible maelstrom of Fort Savoie, use the forbidden knowledge in his mind to create a body for himself, replace his false memories with real brains, and continue his life in the form of cloning.

Only in this way can he find the source of replenishment by constructing his wonderful magical energy, otherwise he will be like a rootless ping, even if he does not participate in any battles, sooner or later he will die between heaven and earth.

He is self-aware, he is not Charlotte, he does not have the Eye of the Vientiane, the memory processing technique, and the Book of Etroac, even if he can have the memory processing technique in the future after he has the flesh, but now he is really worthless in this battle.

So in a thousand words, everything is back to square one. He must find a way to escape the vortex of Fort Savoie, despite the fact that he has Charlotte's memories and some abilities, but those memories of friends and relatives will ruthlessly destroy themselves if they find out that something is wrong. And the sad thing is that he can't beat almost any of Charlotte's perverted friends! Even if he can gain the upper hand, TM's can't win.

Then the answer comes out. What's the best-case scenario for Victor?

Charlotte and Evan are both defeated, and he escapes from this damned, perverted Fort Savoie!

"I'm going to be a chess player. Victor stressed to himself, as if to strengthen his confidence, "Even if I am the weakest, I will try my best to escape from the chessboard of those two guys!"

And so in a situation that no one expected, the fourth chess player was born.

The fourth chess player, who calls himself Victor, makes the first decision, he wants to escape from Savoieburg, but before he can do so, he must add an insurance policy to his actions. For example, a hostage of sufficient portions.

But how do you choose a hostage of this size? The best case is, of course, to choose someone that both brothers care about.

For example, Cynthia? No, no, Aven's mad neurosis didn't even save his uncle Herbert, he didn't even kill Elbert, and he didn't even want his own life when he went crazy. Cynthia as a hostage? Who knows if he will kill his wife.

That sister Vivien Leigh is the center of the whirlpool! Perfect candidate! It's weird! Don't be funny! People have to be a little self-aware, my sister can let go of one hand to hang herself, take her hostage, I'm afraid it's not the birthday guy who eats arsenic—it's a long life!

What about Mom Rebecca? No, is Shadow Guard a vegetarian? He doesn't believe that there is no high-end force to protect Rebecca in Savoieburg.

As for Claire, Neham, and so on, it's all a joke, and it's better to take them hostage than to wipe their necks with a sword.

At this moment, he noticed Cecilia walking towards him, and in an instant, he set his sights on Cecilia.

While not the perfect candidate, there are two major advantages to targeting her. First, Cecilia's feelings for Charlotte can hardly be deceived by lies, and second, and most importantly, Evan may not care about Cynthia, but Charlotte can't care about Cecilia. For Victor, the real enemy is not Aven, but Charlotte.

At this thought, Victor smiled at Cecilia.

"Hey, Cecilia, plans have changed, and I have something I want to talk to you about alone. ”

Cecilia is very intelligent, but she never thinks too much about the girl who faces her dream girl. Without any hesitation, Cecilia and Victor walked out of the venue.
