Esmerelda- Antoinette's POV:

It was the next day. Surprisingly the school didn't even know I was gone yesterday to play paintball which meant Sylvester has no clue. Whatever attendance system our school had sure was a sh*tty one. I remind myself to stop cursing. Today was a chill day. I had dance today as a school subject. Honestly, I asked the school if I could change the subject and do a different one even if I was good at ballet dancing because currently, I couldn't dance. So dance class in school usually ends up with me sitting amongst the girls watching them do ballet and contemporary as well as watching the guys in another room doing hip-hop. Honestly, it was fun watching the guys especially since Kai was in hip-hop dance class. He reminded me of those K-pp idols who could dance exceptionally well like Jungkook. For the next month, I was pretty sure dance class would always have me sitting out but I didn't mind. I had already gotten dressed and this time with my uniform because I intended on being a good kid. That was a lie, ever since I got involved with the Royals I was screwed. Anyway... I wore my uniform with a cute pearl necklace and diamond earrings. I wore a cute bandana which had small flowers on them. My hair was naturally straight so it looked good with the hair accessory. I headed downstairs and was greeted by, surprisingly, Sylvester. Usually, he had to take up my Capo position for the time being so he should be gone by now. I was glad that this fine day I would get to enjoy breakfast with my Consigliere.

"Good Morning Sylvester. What did you do to get free time?" I say with a giggle. I limp my way to the dining table. I pull a seat for myself and take a seat. I looked at my plate and was served with a sunny-side-up egg, a piece of toast, and a handful of strawberries. My glass was also filled with chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is the best thing that happened on this planet.

"Ahh well Esmeralda. I still have to hurry, I need to get to the office in 30 minutes. Today I just have to answer some important emails, no shipments because they arrived 5 days ago, we eliminated most of the rivals for the time being, and sadly no new leads on your kidnapper." He informs me. I sigh sadly. Sooner or later Burkley will have to show himself. We would have to force him out or he will reveal himself unintentionally. For now, we will just have to trust our hackers.

"Ah well, hopefully we will find new leads for Burkley. I trust my hackers are doing their job. Anyway, I have to get to school in 20 minutes. I've made new friends as well." I say take a bite of my egg and toast. I chew and swallow, washing it down with some chocolate milk.

"Ah well, what are their names. You sure you don't want me to ask the hackers to do a little search on them. Nothing too deep. Just some basic information." He tells me. I chuckle.

"No Sylvester. I am a normal teenager and normal teenagers don't ask hackers to do a background search on my friends. Since they are my friends I trust them enough to tell me secrets when they are ready." I say. He ruffled my hair and got up finishing his breakfast.

"I trust you will come to me when you need Esme and as your current father figure, I have to say. Don't get into any trouble." He says in a fatherly way. I smile cheekily knowing all I'm going to do with the Royals is trouble. I cross my heart with my fingers.

"Never Sylvester," I say and get up. I see Mr. Bodyguard waiting for me.

"Good Morning Mr. Bodyguard. It's time to go to school, Let's go." I say skipping to the black Audi. Mr. Bodyguards' long strides easily catch up to me. He opens the door for me like usual and I take my seat. I pull my seatbelt and keep my bag on the seat beside me.

"Off we go," I say and Mr. Bodyguard drives me to school. We arrive in 10 minutes.

"Goodbye Mr. Bodyguard, see you later," I say and he nods with a straight face. I skip my way inside the school. I go to my locker and was immediately met by the 4 friendly familiar faces.

"Hey, there brat," Bishop says with a cold glare. I give him a cheeky smile.

"Good Morning little bean." Hugo ruffles my hair.

"Hello, little bunny," Kai says shortly and nods to me. His face was blank.

"Bonjour petite fille!" (Hello little girl) Roman says in french.

"Good morning, fine people. What is today's test? It's the last one right then I'll officially be a Royal!" I exclaim happily. All of them give me a grin and almost a lot of pride seeing that I was excited to be one of them. Kai clears his throat and begins to speak.

"Well, today indeed is your last test. A rule amongst us Royals is that we share our deepest secrets. We never lie to each other. We take honesty very seriously. So the final test is being completely transparent with us and we will too. It will be a long discussion, we've taken over the library today. We just have to write our attendance and then skip class like yesterday." Kai says. I am a little frightened. I don't want them to know about the abide or the mafia or anything deeper than what they already know. I sigh but if I want a friend I must be honest. I had come to trust these 4 boys even though I met them 4 days ago. They were going to tell me their secrets as well. With my brothers, I was the one who was forced to say secrets and they told me sh*t. At least I'll get a nice friendship in return.

"Okay, I'm ready to tell you all my secrets. It'll just take some time, a long time." I say. They nod. We all sign our names on the attendance sheet and head to the library. The library was empty. They really did take over the library for the day. We sat on bean bags in the secluded area of the library.

"Okay, whenever you read Esme," Hugo informs me. I smile lightly.

"Okay well. My full name is Esmerelda-Antoinette Marie-Elene Svetlana Saint-Claire Morozov Romano. It's so long because of my ancestors. I'm Saint-Claire, the popular french mafia's name, I am Morozov, the popular Russian mafia's name. I was their only descendant and their current Capo. I am taking a break from that for 2 months and my Consigliere is handling that business. I am also the Italian Mafia princess. I had no clue about that until a few months ago. I was kidnapped by the ex-Irish Mafia thus my absence in any school in Italy. My godfather was the owner of Diamonds and Co which is actually a weapons and hacking company in disguise. He passed the company on to me making me the CEO. I have also started my own little cafe branch called Koko Krystals. It's an international company. For a whole year, I was abused by my foster father. He died and then I was taken in by my brothers the Romanos. Now I'm hiding from them for a little while. That's basically it." This Is basically my life story. All the boys have straight faces. I was glad they didn't judge me. I smiled at the thought.

"Okay, I'll go next. The rest know this but Esme, Hugo Blake Lavigne. My father is a French businessman who owns the biggest hospitals around the world. My mother is an American Neurological Surgeon. She is very popular in the medical field." Hugo says. I nod.

"I'm Roman Pierre Dubois. I have two mothers. They are both homosexuals. One of my mothers is African-French from Senegal living in France, and the other mother is a caucasian french. My caucasian mother owns an international restaurant branch and my African-French mother is the leader of a gang in Senegal which has branched out in the outskirts of France." Roman says. Of course. Dubois was the famous name of the French chef. I nod.

"I'm Kai Jung Lee. I'm Korean. I had a twin sister who died of OD. My father is the head of the Korean Mafia. My mother is a famous fashion designer." He says curtly. I feel sad after he tells me about OD and his twin sister. I feel a few tears fall down my cheek that I quickly wipe.

"I'm Bishop Angelo De Luca. My father is the owner of Vatican city. My mother died during my childhood so I don't remember much about her." Ah, a de Luca. They were very closed off, turns out one was right in front of me. Bishop was the only child of the De Luca generation. I had some very powerful friends. I get why they are Royals now. Most importantly I had friends that I trusted my life. I was happy after a very long time. I was finally going to complete the Royals' initiation.
