The anouncement and first impression.

I help Liam and Jake with their archery when I quickly see my brother and Jake hyper as hell: "What have you been up to now?" I ask him."I have done nothing!" my dearest brother says indignantly. I raise an eyebrow and look at him with a I-don't-believe-you-at-all look: "Nathan, what's going on?" I hear Liam ask.'We can't say anything, Aunt Mirana (Alex' and my grandmother) said to come and get you and tell you.
"Okay, then let's see why these 2 idiots are so hyper," says Jake dryly. "Hey! We're not idiots!" Alex shouts indignantly. "You're a sweet brother, but let's see what Grandma has to say." I say laughing as I walk through the training rooms, the whole basement of the palace is divided into training rooms, because Grandpa says we should train as much as possible so that we can protect our kingdom from unwanted invaders.
Fifteen minutes later we slowly enter the throne room, when we stand in front of my grandparents we bow our heads a little as a sign of respect. "You asked for us?" I say.
"That's right dear," says my mom, "your grandparents and I have decided we will send you to the Royal River Academy for the next 5 months." The moment those words have left Mom's mouth, different reactions can be heard. "Wooooooh, we can finally go to a real school" Nathan and Jake scream at the same time, Alex grins and Nathan jumps around with a praying smile on his face.
'To school? But how are we going to do that? In five and a half months, Alex and I will turn 18 and be crowned. I say to my mother. “Honey, we're afraid all that training won't give you a normal childhood like Aiden didn't have, we don't want you missing out,” my grandmother says with a lump in my throat when I hear Dad. name. My father, Prince Aiden, is abroad as the captain of our special service and it has been months since I saw him.
"By the way, the teachers and management know your true identity, but the students should not know this, you have not yet been presented in public and so you can easily assume a false identity," my grandfather intervenes. "And about the coronation you come back half a month before the coronation and then you can be crowned king and queen of Cadenza".
"Well then grandpa, if you say it will be okay, then I want to try it, I can drive one of my cars to school myself, right?" I ask. "That's okay sweetie" "Oh hell yes I drive Jul to school" Alex shouts, "of course you i***t, we always go everywhere together" I say as I hit him on the back of the head.
"Well, you better prepare, maybe you will arrive in the middle of the year, but you've already seen everything in my classes," says grandmother. "Okay grandma, goodnight great uncle, aunt and aunt Mirana," Liam says, lowering his head slightly. "Sleep well, my children," says grandmother. "good night darlings" I hear mama say.
My grandfather bows his head to say goodbye, yes, I can already hear you thinking, "why so stiff?" what did you expect? My grandfather has long been the strongest king our kingdom has ever had, that was until I was born. Oddly enough, I am the only female heir to the throne and the strongest in our family, nice to hear that I win every fight with my brother or cousins lol.
As we walk to the west side of the palace (this is where the royal family sleeps, many of them have their own big house near the palace, but we thought it was better and more convenient to stay in the palace, Nathan asks me " nervous cousin of mine? "
"No, it's not too bad, I also went to a secondary school in Belgium for a while, remember?" "Oh yes that's true" "Well, I suggest we go to school tomorrow to match, show you we're a family." Suggests Liam. "That's not such a bad plan, I really hope there are nice guys," laughs Nathan.
"That would come in handy, especially for these two anti-Cupids," Jake said, pointing to me and Alex. "You know why I act like that, you know what happened last time" I say and in the corner of my eye I see Alex cringe a bit. "Sorry guys, I didn't want to remind you," Jake says.
“We know Jake, we're over it. It's just painful to think about it and how much it hurt, ”says Alex, shivering a bit, rubbing his arms and smiling. "Okay different subject, what are we going to wear" I say to the boys, "Blue" they all shout at the same time. "Haha it is blue then, just know that I am not wearing a dress" I say with an emphasis on none.
"No sister I know you better than you know yourself so I had already counted on it, you can just wear jeans" says Alex smiling, I really have the best twin brother in the whole world.
"Okay bitches, here's the thing: the website says there have been tryouts for the eventing team since some of their team memebers quit and they don't have enough players for the competition. We're in, right?" Liam asks enthusiastically. "Oh hell be sure" I say with a beaming smile, Cadenza's national sports are figure skating and eventing. As members of the Royal Family, we have to be able to perform these sports to the last detail, so getting into the school's eventing team shouldn't be as difficult as my grandparents' training.
"Okay babies time for bed, see you tomorrow. Love you all" I say to the boys when I walk into my room
Next day
Juliana pov.
I wake up to a bunch of hyperactive rabbits jumping on my bed, those rabbits are the guys btw. "Wake up and get your lazy ass to the bathroom because we're going to school today!" Alex shouts in my ear. I push him away and he lands on the floor with a loud groan, "your own fault, if you should not be so heavy" I chuckle.
I get up and grab the matching set of clothes that Liam put out yesterday and walk to the bathroom to shower and change. When I'm done I walk out, "Damn looking hot girl!" Liam says and I laugh at his compliment.
"Let's go, I want to eat!" Jake says whiny, "You always want to eat" I say.
After breakfast we say goodbye to mom and my grandparents and we walk to the garage where our cars are, Liam lets Alex choose and as expected he goes for his gray Jeep Renegade longitude 120, that thing is and remains his favorite car. Jake rides with him and the other twins rides with my blue Range Rover.
