[Lara POV]
Another day dawned, another monotonous schedule of classes, training, meals, and sleep. Sometimes, I yearn for the days I could laze around all day in the opulent comfort of the Elven palace. Yet, a surprising spark has ignited in this seemingly dull academy life.
Being an Elven princess, maturity came naturally to me. It often put a chasm between me and others my age, making genuine connections difficult. Of course, people still hovered around me, drawn by the allure of the Elven throne and the power it represents. Can't say I blame them; the harsh reality is, weakness is a luxury few can afford in this world.
