"Milady!"

"You look stunning in what you're wearing. It makes me so happy to see you like this." I told her with a warm smile, admiring how she looked so professional in her attire. She always carried herself with such grace and dignity, and this outfit only highlighted that quality even more.

I stepped fully inside and walked straight toward the living room. As soon as I sat on the couch, I looked at her with a serious expression. She must have felt the weight of my gaze because she slowly sat down across from me, her attention fully mine.

"I'm planning to enroll you in ACU" I stated firmly, my tone steady and authoritative.

She flinched in surprise at my words. Just as she had mentioned before, she was well-educated and a brilliant student, so I knew for a fact that she was fully aware of what that school stood for and how difficult it was to enter.

(ACU) Atenea Citadel University "The stronghold of Wisdom and Strength." — A prestigious institution that stands tall like an impenetrable fortress, dedicated to nurturing minds as sharp as wisdom itself and spirits as unbreakable as a citadel. It was named in honor of Livinghell Atenea – the woman who embodies both intelligence and immense power.

The school lives by its motto "Wisdom is our shield, Strength is our Foundation." Every student here holds these words close to their hearts. It is a place where honor is everything, doing anything that could tarnish the school's name or reputation is considered a grave sin and an act of disrespect.

Since Livinghell established and funded this school, it is naturally rich in resources and facilities. It is classified as a private institution, yet it has no tuition fees. Everything is free, and students even receive a 50k monthly allowance. However, this privilege comes with a heavy condition, you must never fail a subject. If you fail even once, you lose your scholarship benefits and will be required to pay tuition fees until you recover your grades and prove you belong there.

'Diba grabe sa yaman, pano kaya kumikita ang school nya nito.'

What makes ACU truly special is that it does not discriminate based on status. Being of noble blood does not guarantee acceptance. This school is for everyone—nobles, middle class, and commoners alike. If you are a commoner or from the middle class, the school provides official buses to pick you up and drop you off safely. If you are a noble or someone with your own vehicle, you are free to use it, but you must register your car's plate number with the administration. Strict security is enforced to ensure that no outsiders enter the premises—Livinghell is very particular about that.

Another remarkable feature is the school's location. It stands right in the middle of the vast, breathtaking ocean within the territory ruled by Livinghell. Her grand mansion is situated deep within a lush, wealthy forest that stretches all the way to the beautiful and rich coastline—lands she was the very first to own and govern.

Because of its isolated location, aside from school buses, private ferries and ships are provided to transport students to and from the mainland. However, due to the distance, all students are required to live inside the campus dormitories until they graduate. They stay there throughout the month, but are allowed to go home during the last week of every month, giving them a one-week break to spend time with their families.

"Milady... but—" Gladz tried to speak, but I cut her off immediately. I could clearly see the worry written all over her face.

"No more complaining, Gladz" I said firmly. "You will go back to studying, but you will start directly in college. And while you study, you will also begin working as a professional model."
