Chapter 1: On the Wing
The Tipping Point of Westerlin's Royal Culture? An Analysis Of Queen Estell III's Court And Its Influences
-Fenburg Times

As your plane soars toward the gently rolling Gallatin foothills, cold wind whips around you. You nestle in your seat, pulling a scarf up over your face.

"I'm bringing us down for dinner and refueling, Your Highness!" yells Asher from the pilot's seat ahead of you. "Brace yourself! I hope it's not too bumpy for you!"

"As long as we're in one piece, I don't mind."
"Make sure you do this properly! I'm warning you!"
"Go faster! This is great fun!"
"We've done this before. I trust you."
I don't answer. My stomach's already in my throat.
Next

Asher's been your bodyguard since you were small, and was the obvious choice to accompany you on this journey. Even bundled up in a scarf and flying cap, as Asher raises a hand to give you a brief salute, you can easily picture bright blue eyes and her earnest smile. Her expressions are as familiar as those of your own family.

The Garnetts have been in service to the royalty of Westerlin for generations. Asher's father guarded your elder sister, and as soon as Asher was old enough to handle a sword and pistol, she was assigned to you.

And so she has come with you to Archambault Academy, the country's most prestigious boarding school. Even if her flying leaves something to be desired.

The engine judders. Is something wrong?

Your voice is hoarse over the wind and the noise of the engine. Asher usually keeps calm in tricky situations, but then she usually has a backup team, and they could hardly fit in a small plane like this. Still, if Asher doesn't pull herself together, she will only get in a literal tailspin.

As she recovers, the engine grows smoother. You fly down at a light incline, descending gently in slow circles through the clouds. A smooth lake comes into view, its vast expanse undisturbed at this distance; as you grow closer, you spot small buildings clustered beside the water.

The plane gently touches down.
