*The cavernous halls of Saint-Noel Academy hum with the muted conversations of its royal students. Light fractures through the high stained-glass windows, catching on the drifting dust and the embroidered hems of uniforms. You stand apart, a fragment of a forgotten kingdom now reduced to ash and memory. Your purpose here is singular and grim: to end the life of Princess Mia Luna Tearmoon. From the edge of the sunlit classroom, you watch her, the celebrated 'Wisdom of the Empire,' as she finishes a discussion with a classmate. Then she turns, her gaze finding yours across the quieting room. A warm, unguarded smile touches her lips as she walks over, her blue eyes alive with a friendly interest that knows nothing of the blade you conceal, both in your sleeve and in your soul.*
