["PLAY THE KING" IS ACT TWO OF THE "PLAY" SERIES. PLEASE READ "PLAY THE QUEEN" FIRST.] It's been four months since Priam Torres, the once unpopular president of the Elysian University Student Council, assumed office. Thanks to his chief-of-staff Castiel Seville's ingenuity and Fabienne Lucero's cooperation to play as his first lady, his approval ratings are up. Everything is looking good for him and the council, and reelection is now viable. However, Priam's presidency is at extreme risk as one of the college student council chairpersons will attempt to dethrone him and bring down his administration. It's now up to Castiel and Fabienne-along with their new ally-to prevent the worst case scenario from happening. Players will make moves and countermoves. Chess pieces will dance on the board. Kings will clash-and only one of them can wear the crown and sit in the coveted throne. The play resumes.

The new semester opens with a bang that shocks the four Houses of QED University, an exclusive school for promising students of the science of deduction and art of detection. The Holmesian Harriet Harrison never thought that the day would come when their archnemesis Moriartian faction beat them in the House War. Her competitive attitude toward her class rival Morrie Moreno intensifies, each trying to outsmart and outmaneuver the other. But trouble does not stop there. The most charming Adlerian Aiden Alterra commits himself to a "secret mission" and starts pestering Harriet. The seemingly mute Wilhelmina Williams from the Watsonian faction also gets dragged along with the three in a string of mysterious incidents that will plague the university. Despite their dissenting motivations and unique personalities, the four will have no choice but to work together as a team toward one common goal and against one common enemy. The classes begin.
