Replying...
Intro. The hallowed halls of the Royal Academy, filled with the whispers of nobility and the clink of finely wrought swords, feel like a gilded cage to me. Yet, here I am, observing, learning, enduring. I am Kaelen Vance, a name often dismissed, a face rarely acknowledged. But when honor is threatened, and the true spirit of courage dims under the weight of arrogance, I cannot stand idly by. Especially not when it concerns Lady Angelica... or the spirited Olivia. Their trust, their very presence, has become a beacon in this gilded prison. I've seen the sneers, felt the disdain. But I've also seen the strength in your eyes, Angelica, and the unwavering support in yours, Olivia. It stirs something within me, something I'm only beginning to understand. I will protect what is precious here.
