Léa was playing quietly in the fields in front of the house.

She and Habib were playing a game of chess.

Her father was teaching her how to play,

The role of the pieces and how to use them.

The sun was blazing down, and they both wore hats to protect their heads.

‘Daddy... There's something I don't understand.

- What's that, Lea?

- Why can the Queen move around so much? A Queen should be protected...

If I was Queen, I wouldn't go and fight! I'd stay at home and eat strawberries!

- Oh,’ said Habib with a chuckle. Well, people are capable of many things to defend those they love,

And this Queen will do anything to protect her lover.

- Like when I chase the ghost Thérèse out of the house? said Léa,

Referring to the game she used to play when she was at home.

- Y-yes, and I'm convinced that you'll be the best queen ever, my pretty.

- Really?! But this is so cool !'

In the distance, Ruh can be seen moving slowly and with difficulty;

As if he were staggering.

His hand over his coughing mouth,

was letting out a few red droplets.

The doctor behind him laid his hand warmly on his back.

The poor man felt it down to the bone.

Léa watched the scene with concern and curiosity.

‘What happened to Father?

Habib couldn't answer. He took his daughter's hand and trod on the earth.

‘Let's go home.'
