Chapter 0279

We have our own bathroom, which is helpful with our schedule and the space is big enough for our

twin beds and two desks. We aren’t here enough to need to lounge or anything, just the basics. We

share the closet too, but since everything is uniform there isn’t a lot to it.

No one knows why we have this set up, it’s never been done before, but we are working the ‘too

young to actually be here’ angle and that it’s more efficient for school.

Since she has been here and attached to my hip Audrina and her friends haven’t even tried to mess

with me. I don’t know if it’s the commanding aura she gives off, the fact that we are never apart long

enough to be cornered, or that together we have beaten every single person or team we have come

up against, but I’m not complaining.

Overall training has gotten better without the constant undermining. I feel like I have finally started

to settle here and this is where I am truly meant to be. The only thing I miss is my brother and the

guys. I haven’t had a chance to write back to them. I feel like everything has picked up pace since

the attack. Trainings are more greuling, school has gotten into full swing and Mina needs help since

joining all of my classes. She decided that my class schedule should be used as cruel and unusual

punishment. And we haven’t seen Xander or Oscar since the attack.

Barty stopped by and told me there is a family dinner happening soon and Mina and I are to attend.

Which will be a nice treat.

“So what do you think all of that was back there after we left?” Mina turns to me after shutting and

locking our door. Another thing we both do out of self preservation.

Our door is locked no matter if we are here or not. We have to assume the attacks are being

assisted by someone. Nothing has happened here on the compound grounds, yet, but we can’t get

complacent. It’s what got us both injured in the first place.

I sit cross legged on my bed after kicking off my shoes. “I don’t know, but it sounds like Warrior

Nickolas really doesn’t want us on this mission. I wish he would say why though. Maybe if there is

some training we haven’t completed yet, we could get on that. It’s not like they have us on a normal

track anyway.”

‘I think he is worried about something. I didn’t get the feeling it was us though. More like he’s

worried for us not about us being there. They are taking girls, maybe he’s worried about sending

you into the lion’s den with your royal blood and all that.” She gives me a shove and a smile.

“If they were worried about that at all, I wouldn’t even be here. There’s no point in training me to be

an elite warrior and then lock me in a tower for the rest of my life.” I shrug her off. “Who knows,

maybe he’s tired of all the double standards when it comes to us. I mean, I was told that I would be

training with the warriors, like the warriors, and to expect the extra school and work stuff to be a

secondary priority, but still a big deal. But, when I think about it. I have been given every pass that is

possible to have. I miss trainings to do things at the castle, I guess it counts as training when I’m

learning and training with Alpha Reggie. I also had that whole Elders weekend thing with all of the

outfits and dresses and changes to my schedule then. My classroom teachers don’t even blink now

if a warrior comes in to deliver a message to me.” I roll my eyes.

“That’s how it is for any of the Royals though, and I hate to break it to you, but you are a Royal

whether you like it or not.” She pats me on the head like a toddler. I shove her off and over to her

own bed.

“Well, look at it this way, at least now we can see how they do research and recon. I have always

been curious about the planning rooms, it’s so mysterious. She’s tapping her steepled fingers to her

chin like a cartoon villain. “I want to know what they do to plan everything.”
