    Chapter 207 Kneel Before Her,A Beauty with Multiple Masks


    Hans only pulled Kelsea toward him and uttered, “Get on your knees.” Kelsea could not believe that


    Hans was asking her to kneel despite hearing what had happened earlier. Scrunching up her face, she


    refused to get on her knees. “I won’t! The only ones I will kneel before are my parents and my mentor.


    I’ll never get on my knees in front of her for a ridiculous chess game.” Everett frowned and agreed with


    Kelsea.


    “Mr. Jewell, I don’t think that there’s a need for her to kneel. Even if they did make a promise, kneeling


    seems a little too much. I’d say Ms. Moore is at fault for this, not Kelsea.” Kelsea nced at Everett


    with a grateful look. She was sure that others would listen to Everett’s words, for he was Han’s favorite


    student. Yet, Hans’ expression remained grim as he uttered, “I’m asking you to get on your knees. Ev,


    get on your knees as well.”


    Instantly, Kelsea and Everett both widened their eyes. Confounded, Kelsea asked, “Why? Mr. Jewell,


    it’s one thing for me to kneel before her, but why are you asking Everett to kneel too? What has he


    done wrong?” Unlike the agitated Kelsea, Everett was first to calm down. He was sure that his mentor


    was not someone unreasonable.


    In the next second, Hans announced, “That’s because she’s my mentor, and therefore, your mentor as


    well.” Those words made Kelsea freeze. With trembling lips, she whispered, “W-What did you just


    say?” Hans repeated, “She’s technically your mentor as well. She’s the mentor I learned from while I


    was in Lightspring. She’s the one who hade up with Lightspring Maneuver.”


    Everyone fell silent. They had only heard of Hans meeting an excellent chess yer overseas, but they


    had never expected his mentor to be so young… and pretty. Vinson, too, nced at Arielle, but there


    was more admiration in his eyes than shock. It was difficult for him to feel surprised about Arielle


    anymore. In fact, I don’t think I’ll be surprised by anything Arielle does or who she turns out to be. After


    all, she’s the wless Arielle Moore.


    After clearing his throat, Hans continued, “Kelsea, you said you would kneel before your parents and


    your mentors. Now she is in front of you, aren’t you going to get on your knees?” Kelsea clenched her


    fists and took in several deep breaths. Never in her life had she ever been struck so hard by a


    revtion. The one she despised and looked down on most turned out to be her mentor’s mentor.


    Kelsea could not ept that fact.

    On the other hand, Everett, who loved chess and admired skilled yers instantly kneeled in front of


    Arielle. “Ms. Moore, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Everett Eakins.” Arielle raised a brow, her


    admiration for Everett growing with each passing second. This is how a man should be. “Please stand


    up,” Arielle muttered as she helped him up.


    Then, her eyes drifted toward the motionless Kelsea. Upon sensing Arielle’s gaze, she stiffened. It was


    then she heard the whispers of those around her, talking about how she was rude, unlike Everett.


    Ashamed, she shut her eyes and went down on her knees. However, before her knees coulde into


    contact with the ground, a pair of soft and slender hands held her arms and helped her up.


    When Kelsea raised her head, her eyes met with Arielle’s. There was a smile on Arielle’s lips, but there


    was ack of emotions in her eyes. At that moment, cold sweat soaked Kelsea’s back. Shaking, she


    stammered, “W-What are you doing?”
