SAME TREE, DIFFERENT BRANCHES. Life goes on in the annex branch of Café Moriartea. Maviel resumes her apprenticeship under Sigmund. Landice is still reading books at the barista's corner. Nikolai is still making sure that the shop is squeaky clean. Everything is going well . . . until the annex branch staff chances upon a case involving the staff of the main branch. A dormant rivalry heats up the same way a cold pasta is reheated in a microwave oven. Coffee isn't the only thing brewing between the two branches of Café Moriartea. * * * * This is the sequel to my 2017 story MORIARTEA. Read that story before reading this one.

At the elite Clark University, student life is dictated by the M.E.R.I.T. system, an algorithm that rewards good performance and punishes bad behavior-controlling everything from campus privileges to sought-after scholarships. Enter Wysiwyg Watson, a once-indifferent Computer Science student who has had enough of the system's oppressive hold and is determined to break its chains. His mission, however, won't be easy as a team of student investigators is intent on tracking him down and bringing him to justice. Ideologies clash and methods collide in a high-stakes game of reform versus revolution and order versus chaos.

A new academic year. A new term. After a decisive victory in the 2022 student council elections, Priam Torres begins his second term as President of the University Student Council. With soaring approval ratings and a majority in the Legislative-Executive Committee, he now holds the power to shape policies for the betterment of the student body. But power comes with challenges. Priam's administration faces threats on all fronts-opposition from the university administration, attacks from a hostile student publication, disagreements with his party, internal conflicts within his own council, and unexpected tension with a rival student council from another university. Adding to his troubles, his relationship with Fabienne Lucero draws scrutiny at home. As the pressure mounts, Priam and his council must weather the storm while holding firm to their ideals. But if worse comes to worst, his only path to victory may lie in playing the joker card-the last resort that could either break the game or turn it completely in his favor. The play isn't over.

["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.
