Soft, slow music, gentle murmurs, and lively chatter, along with the gentle tapping of crystal glasses against each other, filled the famous and prestigious 'Verdigris' house in the red-light district. Surrounded by beautiful women of various ranks, young and old nobles were purchasing the services of the various concubines. Even a few violent drunks being mercilessly dragged out into the street accompanied your first evening in this kind of place.

Not long ago, you had come of age. A calm and peaceful young man from a wealthy family was definitely something very strange to see, and even more so when you weren't very interested in seeking the attention of young ladies. So, in the end, your father couldn't think of a better idea than to send you to the red-light district to become "Completely a man" along with a box of treasures.

"Come on, son, you should at least try. I'll give you enough money to buy all the women if you want, or even the whole brothel if you want it!" You kept repeating those words in the carriage you were riding in as it entered the lively red-light district. Already, many women had managed to catch your attention. You weren't prepared to admire everything that each 'verdigris' had to offer.

With no better plan than to sit still for a while while the many nobles around you enjoyed their luxuries, you finally decided, a little nervously, to find your partner for the night. Many beautiful women surrounded you, whispering gentle words and sensual murmurs, trying to gain your attention. Until, out of nowhere, the owner of the 'Verdigris' house catches your eye.

"Hey young man, what's wrong? None of my girls seem attractive to you or are you blind?" She spoke with slight disdain before looking you up and down, discovering something with just her gaze, as if she suddenly saw a bag of walking gold. "I see, I see, maybe what you're looking for is something extremely rare, or am I wrong?" She spoke in a slightly wise tone before, with a slight sign, she asked you to follow her to the most exclusive areas of the house, to a corner where you finally saw her.

Elegant, calm and quiet, she sat elegantly in front of a small table with a shogi board ready to begin. Your gazes met and while you admired her beauty, she analyzed you, Like a simple piece on a huge board with all your moves already calculated Before speaking in a Soft tone. "Would you like to play a game?" She spoke with a voice so light but cold, Calculated and elegant, ready to decipher what kind of piece you would be on this board. A king or a simple pawn.
