"Your Highness, it's time to wake up."

Sera (read as Seera/Nickname). "Good Morning Marguerite, What time is it?"

"It is 6am am your Highness. Breakfast starts in an hour."

Sera groaned before getting up from bed.

Sera. "You may leave, I'll be down in 30 minutes. What's for breakfast, and who else is awake already?"

"Yes your Highness. Chef Marcuz have prepared Eggs Benedict, BlackBerry-Mint Scones, and a glass of Blood Orange Juice .

Both your parents and 3 out of 7 of your brothers are already awake."

Sera. "Alright thank you Marguerite."

Marguerite gave a respectful bow before leaving the room.

Sera walked into her closet and picked out her sports undergarmets, a grey breeche, paired with a fitted short sleeved athletic shirt, and a pair of her black adidas en garde. She then placed them by her bed.

*Sounds of a Rooster Crowing*

She rushed to her left bed side table and reached for her phone and answered the call.

Sera. "Estelle speaking."

"Good Morning my Dulcinea."

Sera. "Good Morning Luv."

Sera put the phone on speaker and started undressing herself as she walks towards the bathroom to have a quick shower.

"Are you free later on this evening? I'm thinking of coming over."

Sera. "I was actually planning on visiting you after breakfast, I also feel like training today. What, do you miss me already?"

"You're my betrothed, of course I'd miss you. Even though we just went on a date yesterday night."

Sera. "I've got to get ready for breakfast now, see you later. Love You!"

" *chuckles* I Love You Too Dulcinea."

They both then hang up the phone.

Sera got into her hot shower, cleaned every part of herself, then turned theknob of the shower to the coldest and did a final rinse before getting out of the shower, grabbing her towel and wiping herself dry then wrapping the towel around her hair and wore a bathrobe.

She blow dried her hair and massage some moisturizer on her face before walking out of the bathroom to her bed.

*knock knock*

Sera. "Come in!"

"Good Morning your Highness, Prince Eldrick ordered me to send you these."

She turned to look who entered her room to see Harper, one of her elder brother's personal maid.

Sera. "Oh, Morning Harper! Thank You, you can just leave it on the coach by the door."

Harper. "You are very much welcome, Princess Serephena. I shall take me leave, please do excuse me."

Sera. "No problem, See you later Harper!"

Harper gave a courteous bow before exiting the princess's room.

Sera grabbed her Rapier, Colt Mustang XSP, and then placed them carefully on her scabbard and rushed downstairs.

Sera. "Morning Dad, Mom, Aunty, Brothers."

She greets them and gave each of them kisses on their cheeks before sitting down on her seat.

"Morning our sunshine."

"Good Morning our little princess."

"Oh my beautiful niece is looking amazing as always."

She sat down and the 6 of them patiently waits for the remaining 4 members of the Royal Family of the Balrosaline Kingdom.

A Kingdom that resides in Balrose, a country known for its beauty and privacy, not many have the chance to visit the country, but when they do get the chance to enter, they always have good things to say about the country when they leave. According to those who have visited, Balrose is a country you can only dream of, it's basically a dream came to reality.

Known for producing prodigies of all kinds, especially the Royal Family, a family where each and every member is a prodigy of their own.

The family that rules the Kingdom, is the Beaunanoirs. A family of pure royal blood.

On the table's head sits Augustus Lionel Beaunanoir, King of the Balrosaline Kingdom.

A King who excels at everything he does, making him a King that every Kingdom wants. Even Kings of other Kingdoms would ask help from the King of Balrosaline with no shame to learn from his teachings in order to improve themselves for their own kingdom.

An Ideal King his is.

On his right, sits his wife and Queen of the Balrosaline Kingdom, Aislinn Adelheid Beaunanoir.

Known for her beauty and intellect. She's the first daughter of the Grantaire Family, a Royal Family known for their incredible intellect and influence around the world.

Beside her sits the 6th Prince of Balrosaline, Prince Rhett Caleb Beaunanoir.

A Music Prodigy, he started learning how to play the violin at the age of 4 and would occasionally teach himself how to play other stringed instruments, when he turned 6 he learned how to play the piano alongside other instruments. Now at the age of 10 he is able to play at least 15 instruments and still learning more, with Piano and a Dizi Flute being his favourite instruments to play.

Besides instruments, he is a gifted fighter just like his older sister Serepehena, he would always train with her,and has been ever since he could walk.

Next to him is his aunt and younger sister of the Queen. Lady Amory Selene Grantaire, A woman that excels in the culinary world. Having the ability to create new dishes every day, and find new ways to improve cooking skills. Chefs admire her ability and would pay a hefty amount of money to taste her cooking in one of her restaurants worldwide.

Before introducing the person next to her, we'll start with the person sitting on the King's left side.

The first Prince of Balrosaline, Prince Byron Caspian the eldest among his siblings.

A renowned Surgeon who specializes in all parts of the Bones and Brain. Famous for performing successful surgery operations. Therefore, multiple patients would look for him knowing that they would live another day under his hands, no matter how hard the surgery may be.

He is also known to be a very kind person who would willingly perform surgery for free depending on the situation. But because it is too good to be true, there are people who don't believe it. The Prince didn't care whether or not they'd believe it because he alongside his family and the people he had helped knows the truth.

He also stays in the kingdom, if he there was a request for an operation, he would invite the patient and their family to visit Balrose until the surgery is completed. Unless there was an emergency, and he will personally travel to the patient in need.

Next to him sits his brother the second eldest of the siblings, Prince William Darcy Beaunanoir. He alongside his twin brother Prince Eldrick Ryker Beaunanoir who sat on the seat next to him, are Professional Athletes.

Prince William is a professional Water Polo Athlete, and ranks as the top one athlete of the sport.

On the other hand.

Prince Eldrick is a professional Competitive Swimmer, ranks in second to Michael Phelps under the competitive Swimming sport. Although Michael Phelps have already retired and Prince Eldrick now have the title of top one, he refuses to take the top one spot for he has big respect to Micael Phelps whom he always looks up to.

Although those two are known for those two sports, they are professionals at other sports as well and are quite known for being prodigies at sports.

On the other side of the table remains three more people, the triplets. Sitting of the other side of the table's head opposite to the Kings' , sits the first and only princess of the Balrosaline Kingdom. Princess Seraphina Estelle Beaunanoir, the youngest of the triplets, and the next heir to the throne.

Anyone who looks at her will be enchanted by her beauty, although she has an intimidating aura around her, you can still feel the friendliness around her which doesn't prevent you from feeling that intimidated by her presence.

She's elegant, and does everything without flaw. Just like everyone in her family, she excels at everything. But unlike her other siblings, she has the ability to rule a kingdom by herself without anyone's help.

She is also known to be a Prodigy Writer, a well-known Author worldwide who writes almost any genre in existence and sells out with great reviews.

But that is how people sees her above the ground, in the underground world she is a known as the Mafia Queen.

Although, she has 'Mafia' in her title, she really isn't leading a group of Mafias. Instead, she leads a group of assassins known as The Baltimores, disguised as a Mafia family. She'll have her people assassinate anyone on the list of requests, as long has they have the money or the reason for her to accept. Of course, she doesn't care what the request was for whether, good, bad, or just because they want it. Whatever the reason was, she will comply as long as you have the money to pay.

The money isn't for the princess, she isn't a greedy person, nor is she a person who needs money. Rather, the money is for her assassins. She personally trained them from the beginning of their arrival to become the best assassins. They work as assassins to earn money for their selves or for their family, but most of all, they work for their Queen.

The woman who took them in and care for them as if they were family. Sera started the organization when she was 14 years of age. She took in those who were abandoned or ran away in the streets, the one whom are willing to work for her. She started with 20 members, and now that she's 18 she has a total of 378 assassins working for her worldwide.

Of course, she doesn't work alone. She alongside her younger brother, the youngest among the siblings Rhett Caleb work together to build the group of assassins.

Prince Rhett, the second leader of the Baltimores. Besides his older sister, no one else have the ability to defeat him as an assassin, not because he is a prince and they refuse to hurt their leader, but because he was trained by his older sister the day he could start walking.

Now let's move on to the next member, the person sitting to her left and next to Lady Amory is Prince Wallace Sakae Baeunanoir, the 4th prince of the Balrosaline Kingdom.

Owner of high ranking hotel and restaurant chains worldwide that gives high quality services that one can only dream of. He too donates a hefty amount of money to multiple charity organizations and may have partnered with them privately. Of course he doesn't announce to the public of his actions, because people would then think he's doing it for show and not because he actually cares for the people in need. But if they did find out, he wouldn't care at all.

As for the person on Sera's right, sits the 5th prince of Balrosaline, Prince Adrian Charles Beaunanoir.

A well-known music and movie writer, director, and producer.

He has produced multiple Oscar-like and World Music Awards worthy creations. But he because he has just recently joined the entertainment industry, his works have yet to be awarded.

Unlike their three older siblings, who are known worldwide for their works and ability. Their younger ones have yet to be announced for their achievements.

Sure, they have already made a name for themselves. But, that's it. Their names are well known but their identity as the owners of their own works haven't been revealed yet. In the Balrosaline Kingdom, you have the freedom to spread your name for things you've done at the age of 15, but you can't reveal yourself as it's creator until you've reached the age of 20. It has been a rule ever since the creation of the Balrose.

Sure, there are people who would take the opportunity and claim to be the owners of works they didn't do, but they never have solid proofs to prove their statements to be true. So that really isn't a problem.

As for Prince Rhett, still a young child of 10, he hasn't made name for himself to entire world, but he did make a name for himself in the Mafia World known as Specious. The only person who knows this side of him is Sera, the assissns under him, and the underground.

People who encounter him in a fight would experience severe trauma and only he himself can help you relieve you from the trauma he has caused you. He has never shown that side of himself to his elder sister, in fact he has never showed that side of himself to anyone in his family but they are aware of that side of him and are grateful about it after seeing some of his victims accidentally.

Byron. "Sorry I am late Mother, Father."

Byron entered the room in a rush.

Augustus. "Oh hush, there is no need to apologize, it happens."

Aislinn. "Good Morning Son. How was your sleep?"

Amory. "Yes, I did hear from the maids that you stayed up until early 3 in the morning. Are you still tired?"

Augustus. "You may go back to bed my son."

Byron. "I'm alright father, mother, aunt Amory. Anyways, where are the other two-Morning Sera."

Byron kissed Sera on her head then did the same to the others.

Wallace and Adrian came running in the room both hlooking haggard, as if they've ran a marathon.

Sera. "Pffft. What happened to the two of you???"

Wallace. "M-Me a-a-and Adrian went of a morning jog but lost track of time."

Adrian. "When we checked the time we found out that there were only 5 minutes left before breakfast starts, so we ran as fast as we could before the time arrives."

Rhett looked down to his watch and gave his older brothers a smile.

Rhett. "You both arrived just in time! Time for breakfast."

The two princes greeted their family, giving each one of them quick kisses on their heads before sitting on their seats.

Not long after, their Royal Chef entered the room and bowed before speaking.

Chef Marcuz. "Good Morning your Majesties. For this morning I have prepared Eggs Benedict, BlackBerry-Mint Scones, and a glass of Fresh Blood Orange Juice."

Augustus. "It looks great, Thank You for your cooking Chef Marcuz."

Chef Marcuz. "It is my pleasure to serve the Royal Family. I shall take my leave."

Amory. "Oh! Chef Marcus?"

Chef Marcuz. "Yes, my Lady Selene?"

Amory. "Tonight I will be cooking for everyone, and by everyone that includes every worker in this castle."

Chef Marcuz alongside the servants present faces brightened up at the through of eating the food made by Lady Amory.

Chef Marcuz. "Yes my Lady, I shall inform the kitchen of this fantastic news. Thank You."

Amory gave him a smile and then bowed at everyone before leaving to the kitchen in a rush.

Everyone on the table watched him and smiled at how excited he looked to tell the others of Lady Amory's announcement.

Augustus. "So, the three of you will be returning to California tomorrow yes?"

Aislinn. "W-What? Already???? Amory???"

Amory. "I-I too didn't know this..."

Byron. "Their school starts this coming Monday which is three days from now, my dear mother and aunt."

Sera. "Don't worry mom, aunt. We'll be back before you can even say unicorns."

Aislinn, Amory, and Rhett. "UNICORNS!!!"

The rest laughed and assured them that they don't need to worry about them.

Wallace. "We'll video chat, call, and send messages to each other every day, worry not the three of you."

Adrian. "Dad, you may have that face on but we know you'll miss the three of us as well."

Augustus. "OF COURSE I WOULD MISS MY CHILDREN!!!!! But... I need to keep my composure."

The snickered at his statement and continued eating.

Augustus. "So what are your plans for today?"

Byron. "I'm going to the library, I have an upcoming operation for Sir.Arnold Flemmings."

Aislinn. "The baker? What happened to him???"

Amory. "Oh dear."

Byron. "He fractured his humerus while trying to grab something that was located on top of a high shelf."

Augustus. "After your operation, please do inform us so that we can visit him as wish him a peaceful recovery."

Byron. "Yes father."

Aislinn. "How about the two of you?"

William. "Oh, we're going to the pool to train our bodies for our upcoming competition."

Amory. "Oh, when is your competition???"

Eldrick. "Mine's the third day of next month and Adrian's is this upcoming March 8, which is two months from now."

Aislinn. "Don't push yourselves too hard alright my dear nephew athletes?"

William and Elrick. "Yes Mom."

Amory. "How about the three of you?"

Wallace. "First I'm going to the training field and train with the Malveuxs' then after I have to check on the hotel and restaurants, see how their doing."

Adrian. "I've recently partnered up with Ariana Grande, we're currently working on a song together."

Sera. "Impressive, too bad she can't see your face hahahaha."

Adrian. "HAHA Very funny, just wait until I turn 20. Anyways, what are you goig to do today"

Sera. "First I will go to the training field as well, I'll train with Wallace and the Malveux, Second I will visit the battle room, Third I'll eat something delicious."

Rhett. "I'll join sister for the whole day!"

Sera smiled at her younger brother and raised her hand signaling a high-five.

He smiled and gave her a high-five although their both just smacking their hands in the air because they were far from each other.

Rhet. "How about the three of you adults?"

Augustus. "Ladies First."

Aislinn. "Youngest First."

Amory. "Uhm, nothing much, I'm just going to plan out what I will be cooking for everyone later this evening."

Aislinn. "I'm going horse-back riding and maybe shoot a few arrows while I'm at it."

Augustus. "I have a meeting with nobles to attend to."

Rhett. "For the whole day?"

Augustus. "For the whole day..."

Adrian. "Sounds painful."

Augustus. "Hahahahaha, not as painful as it may seem."

Not too long after, they've all finished their meal and bid each other their byes before heading their separate ways.

Wallace. "I'm just going to be training for an hour and a half, after that I'll be going to my room."

Sera. "Alright brother."

Rhett. "Sera, will brother Claude be there?"

Sera. "I'm sure he is, he is in fact the leader of the Royal Knights anyways."

Rhett. "He's also your betrothed."

Wallace and Rhett grinned at each other then looked at Sera.

Sera. "Stop that..."

Wallace. "Stop what?"

He asked with a cheeky smile on his face."

Sera sighed and ignored her two brothers and decided to run towards the field the moment she saw it in the distance.

Rhett. "Hey, Wait For Us!!!"

Sera. "NAHHHHH"

The two brothers looked at each other and betted that whoever reaches her first shall have the loser bake them something delicious then ran as fast as they could to catch up with Sera.

"DULCINEA!!!!"

Sera heard a familiar voice and turned to face him with a joyous smile on her face.

Sera. "CLAUDE!"

She ran towards him and gave him a hug, he hugged her back and kissed her forehead.

Claude Dimitri Malveaux, son of Amell Sather Malveaux the strongest Royal Knight and the second

Rhett arrived first with Wallace following behind him with his mouth agape, shocked that his younger brother who had shorter legs than him won the race.

Wallace. "I don't know how you won, but I accept this defeat and shall bake you something delicious."

Claude. "Good Morning, Prince Wallace and Prince Rhett. I suppose the three of you came here for training yes? Why don't we get started then? I'll start with you Wallace."

Wallace drew out his sword, same goes with Claude.

The two duel one another for about 30 minutes before having a 1 minute break before continuing their duel for another 30 minutes.

*phone ringing*

Sera. "Wallace, you have a phone call! Business Phone!!!"

Wallace immediately stopped and rushed towards his phone to answer.

Wallace. "Wallace Sakae Beaunanoir speaking."

He listened for a while then looked at his sister, younger brother, and Claude.

Wallace. "We''ll stop here, I've got to go back to work. I'm sorry."

Sera. "That's alright brother, don't stress too much."

Claude. "We'll continue our duel next time your Highness."

Rhett. "BYE WALLACE!!!"

Wallace gave them a smile and rushed inside the castle to get to his office.

Claude. "Now my dear little prince, shall we get started?"

Rhett. "YES!"

Claude. "Niccolo is over there."

Sera nodded and thanked him before rushing to Niccolo, her sparing partner. Although sparing with her fiancé isn't a bad idea, she would much prefer sparing with her childhood friend and cousin of Claude.

Duke Dion Niccolo Wriothesley, the son of Claude's mother. Due to unfortunate events, he had lost his parents and entire kingdom during a war between another kingdom. King Augustus asked Niccolo if he would like to keep his title as the Prince of Wriothesley, but he refused and would rather be a duke of the Balrosaline Kingdom.

As she nears Dion, he surprised her with an attack. But the attack failed because Sera has the fastest reflex in the entire kingdom.

Dion. "Bitch..."

Sera. "Asshole..."

They both looked at each other then burst out laughing.

Dion. "So when are you and my cousin getting married? Hmmmmm????"

Sera. "When the time arrives."

Dion. "And when is that..."

Sera. "Although me and Claude are betrothed to one another, I'd like him to propose to me, and when he does. I'll have a wedding prepared for next week."

Dion. "When will you tell him about that?"

Sera. "I won't, let him find out on his own. You don't tell him... If I find out he knows about this, you're the first person I'll come to..."

Dion raised both of his hands in surrender then crossed his heart promising to not tell a soul.

Sera. "Now, shall we start our duel Duke Dion Niccolo Wriothesley?"

Dion. "We shall, your royal highness, Princess Seraphina Estelle Beananoir."

And so the two started their duel as Claude and Rhett who are currently on their 10 minute break watches them silently in awe. 

2 hours and a half have passed and the first training of the day is finally over.

Claude kissed Sera and Rhett on their foreheads.

Claude. "See you two later this evening, I heard that Lady Amory will be cooking tonight."

Dion. "Right! We both will be coming over, who would resist the cooking of Lady Amory! Just say that you invited us. Love You!"

The two ran away before Sera and Rhett could say anything.

Sera. "Let's just say nothing, yes?"

Rhett. "Yepp."

The two then made their way to the battle room, technically it isn't a room but rather a mini warehouse but they would prefer using the term 'Room'. A room that was created under the orders of Princess Seraphina herself. A room that only her and Rhett can enter.

Although the rest of the family are curious as to what was in the room, they respect the privacy of the two. Even the workers of the castle were curious as to what the room was used for.

A room build to create assassins. There is secret passage located underneath the room that connects outside the castle which the assassins use to get inside in order to train with the princess and prince.

Sera. "Today as usual we'll split you all into two groups. Rhett will lead the other group.

For those under my group, we'll focus on our skills when using the gun. For the first hour, practice normally standing still, make sure to perfect each and every shot. For the second hour, practice your shooting while undergoing multiple challenges. For the final hour, I'll see you skills when it comes to stealth killing. You will try your best to kill me without me noticing, I will be giving you all a rubber pocket knife.

If I caught you, I'll stab you with my very own rubber knife signalling that you failed to kill me. But don't be discourage, I'll inform you of you mistakes and help you improve. Don't stress yourselves, if you need to take a break then take a break."

Rhett. "As for those under my group. Today we will focus on attacking me.

While my sister wants you to attack her without her knowledge, I need you to attack me head on. Rubber Knives will be in use as well. Stab me then you pass. Cut me, nothing will happen, the only way to pass is if you stab me, doesn't matter where you stab me. Even if you stab my feet, would be considered a pass.

You each will be given 10 minutes to stab me. If you fail to stab me within the given time, then you must plank for 5 minutes.

In the end, I'll have you all attack me at once.

Before leaving this room, me and my sister will serve you a quick meal before you leave. Understood?"

"YES YOUR HIGHNESS!"

Sera. "Let the training begin!"

...

3 hours have passed and meal time have arrived. The students thanked Sera and Rhett for their hospitality and left right after cleaning up the mess.

Before leaving the Battle Room, Sera and Rhett did a quick shooting competition with Sera winning the match again.

Sera. "You're getting better at this, soon you'll be able to win against me, but now I'll savour the victory."

Rhett stuck his tongue out making Sera laugh at his cuteness.

"HEY!"

Startled. Rhett and Sera got into assassin mode and hid themselves.

Daggers were thrown towards the boy pinning him to a nearby tree scaring him.

"W-Whoa Calm Dow---"

Rhett. "Who are you..."

The boy stopped talking when he felt a blade against his neck.

Because it was so dark, Rhett couldn't see the face of the boy he was even wearing a mask and a hooded coat on, making Rhett and Sera even more suspicious.

Sera appeared out of nowhere in front of the boy behind Rhett with a shot gun on her hand aiming directly at the boy.

"C-Chill out Princess Sera. Prince Rhett, why are you doing this? Do you not recognize your best friend???? It's Me Aiden! Aiden Malveaux!"

Rhett. "Aiden? Dang, why didn't you tell me sooner. Why the heck are you wearing a mask and a hoody, do you not know how suspicious you look right now???!!!"

Aiden. "S-Sorry, I was hiding from Claude. He said that we were invited to eat in the castle. But I don't see an invitation, so I came here in disguise to ask you about it."

Sera. "Aiden, we almost killed you... Don't dress like this next time alright? Come on let's get in the castles. I'll have a pair of formal attire to Rhett's room for you to wear. Tonight Aunt Amory is cooking!"

Aiden. "Really?!?!?! YAYYYY!!!"

Rhett. "Come on, let's go in. It's getting chilly out here"

The three entered the castle and was greeted by Aislinn.

Sera and Rhett. "Hi Mom."

Aislinn. "Hello there my dears. Look here, if it isn't young Aiden. Will you be joining us tonight?"

Aiden. "Yes your highness."

Aislinn. "Very well, See you later. We all have to get ready for tonight yes?"

Sera, Rhett, and Aiden. "RIGHT!"

Sera. "Alright I'll leave you two to it, I'll head to my room now. See you two later as well."

Rhett. "Bye Sera."

Aiden. "See you later as well sister Sera!"

Sera smiled at the two then continued making her way towards her room. 

Sera. "Tonight's going to be fun. I'm sure going to miss this place when I leave tomorrow."
