Plot[]
Chimera Ant arc[]
Menthuthuyoupi drags in the Go Champion to play against the King
In a severe state of panic and rebelliousness, the Go Champion is dragged into the throne room by Royal Guard Menthuthuyoupi. The Royal Guard Shaiapouf calmly demands the man's silence as he is in the presence of the King. The King then gives the Go Champion two choices, "Sit and play or die".[1]
The Go Champion plays and is left stunned at how rapidly the King has mastered the game within ten games. So he gives an excuse that his prior loss was due to fatigue and believes he's coming down with a fever and needs rest. The King allows him eight hours of rest and medicine; furthermore, he commands the Go Champion to rest as if his life depended on it. The Go Champion obsequiously obeys and languidly leaves the throne room.[2]
Menthuthuyoupi reports to the King that the Go Champion had comitted suicide
Later that day, after the King has a series of matches against the Gungi Champion, Menthuthuyupi reveals that the Go Champion had committed suicide and left behind a suicide letter.[2]
