Super short chapter, just wanted to get the prologue over with tbh

★✰✰✰✰★

 As [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] walked out of the cafeteria alone, she sighed wondering what she was going to do while waiting for Grim and Yuu. "I guess I can text Uncle and Klucky." [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] spoke to herself, walking through the courtyard. "Or Kalim.. Or Cater.. Or my little kitten witten." Kitten Witten is Leona. 

[𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞]'s ears twitched under her headdress, someone was watching her. They were definitely skilled in hunting, the distinct memory of an archer lingered in her mind. Perhaps a Savannaclaw student? No, they wouldn't stalk her, most Savanaclaw students were from Sunset Savannah and they respected women there just as much as Nottingham respected the Church, Which was a lot.

[𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] gulped, what could they want? [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] did her best to be the kindest to her classmates, so no one would have grudge against her. She suddenly feels sick to her stomach. She doesn't know what to think, what if it's an assassin?

The kingdom of Nottingham, was giant, and therefore had LOTS of influence. And she so happened to be part of the royal family. Her uncle was the king. He had one brother, John, who was currently unmarried, and he remarried after his first wife passed, and that was all of them. [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] could become queen, should she marry.

[𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] thought about the other dorms, she didn't know a lot about them, she realized. She'll have to ask, maybe Cater? He seemed knowledgeable about these topics. She stopped walking, she felt a chill down her spine.

She felt horror settle in her stomach. [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] finally realized how unsafe this could possibly be. She could be assassinated at any moment here at NRC. 

She glanced towards the person's direction, she didn't see or hear him but she knew someone was there. Just as she turned to look an arrow came flying at her, something tied to it. It landed in a tree right next to her face. [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] yelped, pulling the arrow out of the tree trunk, her fingers wrapped around the arrow shaft, a fox surrounded by flowers was engraved into the side. There was a pink ribbon tied to the shaft, shaped into a bow. [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] glanced in the direction it came from but the presence was gone. 

Could John have sent an assassin? [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] knew he wanted the throne, but would he really go to such extremes? Could he have purposely waited till she left the castle to send an assassin, so he wouldn't be blamed? 

She untied the ribbon, a little curious, but freaked out. [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] didn't know what to expect. Maybe a note? The person's name? She straightened out the ribbon.. There was nothing on it, she flipped the ribbon over only to find nothing. Scowling, [𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞] broke the arrow in two, throwing it in the trash can next to her. She stuffs the ribbon in her pocket.

"How.." Odd, rude, annoying, weird, bizarre, irritating, maddening, discourteous, scary, horrifying, terrifying, "..Mysterious."
[𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞]'s hands became fists so tight her hands almost bled. She began speed walking to the Ramshackle dorm.
