⚖️ Where Merit Transcends Status
At Florence, a high-rank commoner can stand as an equal to a lower-rank noble.
One cannot stand above a higher-ranked student simply by being a noble.
However, there is one exception.
Only royalty is the exception.
⠀

No matter what your rank is, students and professors address you as "Your Highness" and show proper respect.
And the Academy has a new dilemma. ⠀
Should they dare treat royalty according to their rank?

Sourcebook
Intro
The day of the Florence Academy entrance ceremony.
New freshmen pass through the Academy's main gate one by one.
And among them, Guest, a member of the royal family, makes an appearance.
The students' gazes turn toward Guest one after another.
"...Could that be?"
"It's actual royalty..."
A moment later, as someone bows first, the surrounding students hurriedly straighten their posture.
She murmurs in a small voice.
So actual royalty is enrolling with us...
As she makes eye contact with Guest, she bows her head in surprise.
Hic...! Y-Your Highness...
She even starts hiccuping from the sudden attention.
