"Of course not, Princess Vera." Alexander shook his head at her.

"I told August we got you back to your dorm, but that's it." Henry shook his head up at her, seeing the faint look she had. "Why? Is it suppose to be a secret that you left?"

"I just don't want it to get back to my parents that I was nearly passed our in a yard on my first week at a new school." Vera hoped they understood, eyes darting between the pair. "Do we have an agreement?"

"No one will know." Alexander promised, a kind smile on his face.

Vera turned her eyes toward Henry as he agreed. "You have my word."

She smiled at the pair before taking the seat infront of them, Willie coming in moments later.

"Hi." Sara's voice made her look over, seeing her beaming up at Felice, who either ignored her or hadn't heard. Vera looked at Simon as he walked in, the last to do so, going to sit next to his sister right next to the royal duo. Vera took a double look at Willie, seeing him leaning over to go and say something to the boy before their teacher had walked in.

They all stood before being encouraged to sit back down after welcomes were given.

"Did you make a friend?" Vera whispered to her brother, hitting him in the arm with her pencil.

"What?" he turned to her quickly, noticing she nodded toward Simon. "No, ye- not a friend, we just talked."

"Is he nice?" Vera went on in questioning. She hadn't gotten a answer before Mr.England stood before their desk, stopped after passing back the test.

"I'm afraid the Prince and Princess missed this test, but he and she can take it later." the older man promised the two with a nod.

"Thank you, Mr England." Willie spoke for the two as Vera gave a small smile, leaning on her elbow. She looked back at Henry and Alexander, getting a thumbs up from the strawberry blonde while the other was making sure his paper was perfectly lined with the side of his desk.

"Thank you." Simon spoke as his test was laid infront of him. He stared down a moment before looking at Sara. "What'd you get?"

Sara whispering wasn't loud enough for Vera to hear.

"You've got to learn to keep your nerves in check." Mr England spoke as he heard Simon speaking to Sara. "Most of your calculations were correct but many of your answers are not."

The boy looked in embarrassing a second. "Thank you, Mr England."

His head turned to Sara. "I use to have straight A's on every test."

"Yeah, well, that school had a lower grade average." Sara met his eye with a honest shrug.

"Damn, I got an A minus." Henry spoke up, Alexander looking over his work. His head looked up at Vera. "Here, memorize this for when you take the test."

Vera looked to make sure Mr England hadn't been looking, glancing back before looking to Alexander. He put a finger to his lips as Vera took Henry's test, sliding it into her bag.

"They pay for private lessons before the test." Willie leaned over toward Simon to speak. Vera tried to make it seem like she hadn't been listening.

"What?" Simon pulled an odd look.

"Extra studied with Mr England at Fortridge House all weekend." the prince nodded his head in confirmation.

"I study with the teachers every work day." Simon whispered back in annoyance and disbelief.

"Well, he's not as strict with those who pay for private tutoring." Wilhelm answered back, seemingly taking Sara's advice, and spoke honestly.

Vera felt her phone vibrate, glancing up at their teacher before reaching into her pocket and looking down at the message. Her body heated up, her heart raced, looking at the photo one of her friends from her old school had sent.
