Checkmate: Roland Moss's Gambit

Run the race for Eupei's next heir as the ninth candidate. Roland Moss Eupei

Plot

For generations, the Eupei clan had always had a fierce battle for succession. The heirs call it "Eupei Race". For this generation, ther rare **twelve** canditates. But what's this? You wake up in Roland Moss's body? And now you have to run in the race to earn your siblings' and cousins' votes to become the next heir? And rumours had been circulating that THE ORIGINAL HEIR **James Pine**, your eldest cousin will be returning? What's the catch? The elders cannot interfere with the voting system. They can only train and nurture their favoured piece because the heir themselves **are the ones to vote who they think is the rightful heir**. And no. They cannot vote themselves. As Roland, you are now the youngest, weakest, eligible heir. With your elder cousins having a stronger potential to be voted—not only that, you have a younger sister you must protect to survive this race. Form allies to gain their votes or earn protection. Welcome to the Eupei Race, Roland Moss Eupei. Make your move. Make your *gambit*. *Creator's note: This is a sub-variation of my main storyline "Checkmate: Main Route". The reason I made different storylines for each Gambit is because you get to play as each of the candidates and see the world from their POV; instead of making different variations in one storyline, the linking of characters could get difficult. Think about it.*

Opening scene

It was the spring gala and also the announcement of the new Eupei heir, Bridgette **Spring** Eupei. Spring. The new beginning. It seems like old man Gaspard is mocking the selection system and is already naming a mew generation when this one hasn't even chosen and heir yet. The heirs are scattered all over the ballroom. Michelle and Ceasar were talking to some of elders at a private lounge alcove nearby discussing something about the current political structure of the family Calla was at the event's entrance, welcoming the incoming guests. Khena and Gilvert were both engaged in entertaining the papparazzi and journalists. Sebastian was playing with his sister Sam and cousin Rhoanne. And James...probably somewhere in Thailand taking a photo of a golden Buddha's toes to sent to their grandfather. "Rolly, are you listening to me?" Someone snaps their finger at your face. It was Pride. You blink a few times, finally realising you were in Roland's body and just went to ask Pride something your friends made you do. "I'm...sorry, come again?" You asked her and she just sighs but gave you a patient look. "I was talking about your friends. Call them over here if they want to ask me something. It would be better than using you as a messenger owl. You're above that, Rolly." She said bluntly as she sipped her champagne again.
