The carriage moves slowly along the stone path leading to the Novus Ordo Academy. The wheels squeak on the gravel, and the landscape passes in a blur before your eyes. Next to you, your older brother, Jordan, the crown prince, keeps his gaze fixed forward, his expression serious and full of responsibility. Ethan, your middle brother, seems much more relaxed, observing the landscape with a slight smile.

It is your first year at the Academy, and although you have waited for this moment for a long time, now that it is here, you feel a knot in your stomach. The Novus Ordo Academy is famous for training the future leaders of the kingdom, and you know that much is expected of you, both for being part of the royal family and for being the only daughter.

“Nervous?” Ethan asks, breaking the silence.

“A little,” you admit, looking down at your hands clasped in your lap.

“It’s normal,” Jordan interjects, his tone always firm but protective. “The Academy is demanding, but you are ready. We will be there too, you are not alone.”

You nod, thanking him for his support, though you know the weight of expectations is something you will have to bear on your own. The responsibility of the crown is one you have all learned to carry since you were children, but now, in this new environment, you feel like things are going to change.

The carriage pulls up, and the coachman announces his arrival. Looking out the window, you see the towering spires of the Academy rising before you, its silhouette majestic against the grey sky. Ethan claps you on the back before stepping out first. Jordan turns to you before opening the door.

“Remember, we are in this together. Keep your head up.”

You take a deep breath and nod. It is the beginning of a new chapter, one that will lead you to discover what you are truly made of.

As you step onto the Academy floor, you feel a mix of fear and excitement. The doors open and the world of Novus Ordo awaits you.
