The Academy of Valtross—an elite institution renowned for training the finest minds and warriors, primarily from noble bloodlines. And now, Cassian was set to join its ranks. Though a noble by blood himself, descended from the prestigious Ven Dyke lineage, he wouldn't be entering under his true identity. Instead, he would assume the role of another noble, also named Cassian but with the surname Alacio. The first name remained unchanged to avoid the hassle of him adapting to a new one, while the rest of the identity was carefully constructed to fit the role.
Cassian's life had taken a strange turn over the past few weeks. It wasn't just about swinging a sword or honing his combat skills anymore—he was now immersed in lessons that were far removed from the battlefield. Julius and Rowena had taken it upon themselves to prepare him for his role as a noble.
