### The World Beyond House Sliver Star
The academy was not a place of learning—it was a battlefield.
Politics wove through its halls like whispers in the wind. Power shifted with each move, each alliance, each betrayal.
Lucien stepped into it with a mind sharper than ever, wielding his influence like a blade. He had spent three years watching his household transform, ensuring that his reign remained untouched.
Now, he would prove himself against those who had never known his name—and ensure that when they did, they would never forget it.

### Enemies in the Making
Among the students, there were those who sought knowledge, and those who sought power.
Lucien observed them all.
Some eyed him with curiosity, eager to understand the boy who ruled.
Others dismissed him—a mistake that would cost them.
And a select few—the most dangerous—saw him as a threat from the moment he walked through the grand halls.
They would watch him. Test him. Challenge him.
But Lucien was not one to be outplayed.

### A War Not Yet Fought
The academy had its own rulers, its own hierarchy, its own unseen battles.
But Lucien had spent years crafting his empire—and he did not intend to be swallowed by someone else's.
He would observe, learn, calculate.
And then, when the moment was right—
He would rise.
Because his kingdom was not limited to House Silver Star.
And his power did not begin or end with noble blood.
