Toiling

Yulia Krysovenko is traveling on the dangerous path of royal life, where the end goal is to be Tsarina. But amidst surprising betrayals and secretly envious courtiers, will she even survive being a Tsesarevna? Only time will tell, but as Yulia would say... queens are stronger than kings if they rule properly.

[When the game was over and I had won with only my queen and a rook on the board, Miss Aberbach placed the two missing kings back on the board. “What did I want you to learn from this game today, Tsarevna?”

I mulled that one over. “Queens can be as powerful as kings are?”

“More powerful.” She corrected. “What else?”

I tapped the table as I thought through the whole game. “You don’t have any pieces left and I barely have two. It’s a hard fight for a woman when they’re leading, but it’s worth it in the end?”]
