Castling Deceit

"The art of manipulation. My dear pawns, so oblivious to the game being played around them. I am the grandmaster, always thinking several moves ahead. My opponents, mere pieces to be used and discarded at my whim"

"I'll start by making a subtle opening move, like gaining their trust, getting the entire Italian Mafia men to let their guard down. Then, I'll slowly begin to maneuver them into position. The knight's jump, the bishop's slide, each piece has its role to play in my sinister symphony.

The queen (or more so, the darling Joint Mafia Princess) oh so powerful, but also so vulnerable to attack. I'll make her suffer. I'll use her to trap them, to converge their attention and capture them leading to their downfall. And the king, the ultimate prize, so blind to the danger lurking nearby..... More closer than they perceive."

Sacrifices will be made, pawns will fall, but the endgame is all that matters.
CHECKMATE! The ultimate victory......... And they'll never even see it coming.

Is the reunion of Estelle Rose Arzhel with her family a mere incident? Maybe? Maybe not.....
