The Conqueror from a Dying Kingdom #6

Plot

Yuri has greater ambitions than winning board games, but as one of the best togi players at the Knight Academy, he finds himself forced to compete in an annual tournament that sees knights and witches compare intellect. The competition is supposedly friendly fun and entertainment for the nation’s queen, yet Yuri is quickly trapped in a high-stakes game against Jula Lacramanus—an influential witch whose mother controls the parchment guild. Against a powerful adversary seeking to humiliate him publicly, one wrong move could cost Yuri not just the tournament, but his fledgling papermaking enterprise.
