The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1072

With enough practice and a keen sense of hearing, one could even guess the numbers on the dice just by the sound they made inside the cup.

In her quest to beat her grandfather at the game, she practiced relentlessly, gradually increasing the difficulty level. To this day, she could roll ten dice and have them all stand on their ends.

It wasn't trickery or luck that got her this far, but pure skill.

"Miss, would you be interested in joining me for a game?"

"Name your price. As long as you're willing to team up with me, money is no object."

"Why don't you play with me? Any losses are on me, but we'll split the winnings. You take seventy percent and I take thirty percent."

Many were vying for a chance to team up with Arabella, some even resorting to arguments.

Seeing his chance, Murray stood up and said, "Miss, may I have a word?"

Arabella followed him out to a small bridge.

"I must confess, Nightshade was bought at a high price not long after I arrived in Watertown."

The light in Arabella's eyes turned icy. So, they played her for a fool?

"Let's split the $32 million. I'll take half," suggested Murray earnestly.

But Arabella’s eyes remained cold.

She was here for Nightshade.

Sensing her displeasure, Murray hastily added, "How about I take thirty percent? or, how about I take twenty percent?"

Seeing her expression unchanged, he steeled himself and said, "You take ninety percent. I can't go any lower!"

"Who did you sell it to?" Arabella’s voice was as cold as ice.

"A big shot whose name I cannot reveal. Once he wants something, there's no way we can get it back. But, I can help you find another Nightshade. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who should have one. Let me contact him, see if he can deliver it tomorrow. If he can, I'll give it to you for free!"
