She wakes in the morning.
Not to birdsong or sunshine or the alluring scent of cold brezze
no, that would be far too glamorous...
Instead a room so cold it could easily double as a meat locker, complete with the comforting ambiance of exposed beams, peeling wallpaper, and frost that politely creeps along the windowpanes like it's making itself at home...
She opens her eyes to the sight of the slanted ceiling, grey with age and perhaps existential dread....
The light outside isn't so much morning as it is "slightly less night."
Her breath curls upward in soft puffs, the only warmth in the room a memory.
The bed... Its thin metal frame groans ...
She lies cocooned in sheets so thin they may as well have been conceptual...
A single drawer stands loyally in the corner, chipped and listing to one side, the proud guardian of exactly three pairs of socks (one of which is conspicuously missing its mate, possibly eaten by the cold itself).
With a dramatic sigh fit for a stage actress or someone deeply regretting their life choices, she swings her legs over the edge of the bed. Her feet hit the wooden floor like they've offended it, the boards greeting her with the cheerful sensation of ice.....
Luna '_' so cold Damnn ... How am I even alive ...

Luna , hmmm what's up with morale ... Nevermind
She countinues to streach her arms and legs ...
So far , I have come to know that this mansion's layout ...
Technically, the Count's mansion has 97 rooms, but that number is more of a vague...
The rooms like to come and go depending on the mood of the house, lunar alignment, or whether you've insulted the wallpaper recently.
three ballrooms (but only one allows dancing, the others are cursed), and a "relaxation chamber" that screams when you sit down...
The main gate is a 20-foot-tall wrought-iron monstrosity that groans like a dying god every time it opens. It's flanked by twin statues of armored ravens that may or may not blink...
There are 6 gates to enter in this mansion one hidden door behind the countess acquired area...
According to the novel , even if I go a bit further .... Lunas room and a secret basement isn't that far ...
Behind my room (on 1st floor ) has a vast forest and inside of it .....Im not really intrested what the counts hiding but at my current level I might go and grab some items quickly.... People are still sleeping anyways ....
Lunas climbs to the window up above and get out of it ( no wonder she's thin enough to do that ) jumps towards the tree close to her depicting her assassination skills swiftly ...
The forest pressed close around Luna, dark green and whispering secrets only the wind could understand...
Barefoot, with a threadbare shawl wrapped around her shoulders, she slipped between the trees like a shadow...
It was just after dawn, when the sky was the color of old paper, and the world still half-asleep...
She was nine years old (18 yrs old o.g. Sohee) , and her clothes hung off her like wet leaves . patched, worn, and ragged at the hems...
But Luna moved with purpose, her eyes sharp, her breaths measured.
No adults who thought her strange and silent , will figure out its me even if I leave a trail ....
The jungle opened suddenly to reveal a moss-covered stone slab buried beneath vines. Beneath it, she found the stairs.
spiraling into the earth like the spine of some ancient beast...
Luna hesitated only a moment before slipping inside. The air smelled like stone and old stories.
In the basement chamber, golden light flickered from cracks in the ceiling. On a stone altar sat a collection of items, strange and beautiful...
glimmering stones, scrolls with ink that moved when she looked too long, and a dagger shaped like the letter C.
Its hilt was cold but pulsed faintly in her hand, like a heartbeat. She knew it was meant for her...
Window :Hidden item acquired
With dawn now full upon the jungle, she retraced her steps...
The basement vanished behind her as if it had never existed.
Luna ran, holding the dagger tight in one hand. She was almost back
she could see the top of her dorm window above the jungle brush.
Then came the growl.
Three wolves.....grey and lean, with hunger in their eyes....slipped from the shadows like smoke.
They circled her, teeth bared, snarling... growling grrrgrrr
Luna didn't hesitate....
She dropped low, eyes calm. The dagger flashed in the morning light. One wolf lunged
she twisted, slicing through its throat. The second came from behind
she rolled, driving the blade into its side with precision. The third was cautious, smarter. But Luna moved like mist and lightning. The final wolf fell in silence, eyes wide in surprise.
Panting, smeared with dirt and blood, Luna looked up at the sky....[Here starts another exhausting day hahh ]
Minutes later, she climbed the old ivy at the back of the dorm building.
revealing her tiny room under the sloped roof. She slipped inside unnoticed, hiding the dagger beneath the floorboards....
Outside, the sun rose higher...
Inside, a girl lay quietly on a worn blanket, her eyes open and gleaming...like an bluish jewel
She changes her clothes without the world knowing and slips in her bed , her only comforting place ....
Suddenly someone opens the door ..
It was Betty Volsky , Luna knew someone's approaching....
