“Every person in this castle has their place, Philza, and every piece on this board has it’s role. One must often make a sacrifice in order to win the game.”
Phil frowns, examining the chess board. He reaches for the pawn on the very right of the board, shifting it forward one square. “I don’t like to gamble with lives, mate.”
