The Curse of the Archimedes

So I’m starting my 2nd year at RWA.

I’ve learned I’m royal, but it doesn’t really matter, because my sperm-donor father died before I was born, and the Royal House of Renaldi has fallen years ago, and now serves the Parliament and the vicious Count Andover.

‘All hail Count Andover’

I’ve made friends. I’ve excelled in class.

Now I’ve got to do the Second Year Challenge.

And I’m told ahead of time that I’m going to fail. That everybody fails. That a 2nd year hasn’t passed ever since Archimedes went through it.

That the Challenge is cursed.

My response?

Bring it on.
