"She will be fine, right?" Brina asked Louis as they both stared at the chopper which is about to depart.

They just bid farewell for their daughter, Esmeralda and niece, Elizebeth who will be living in the Alpha university from now on.

"She will be more than fine, honey. Our parents are there to look after here and stop overthinking. History won't repeat'' Louis whispered as he comforted her.

"Everything started in that very same University for me, Louis. How can I not worry.. especially when our daughter thinks and behaves just like me?" Brina Questioned.

"Think on the bright side, sis! You met this idiot in the university itself. Good things have happened too" Harry said as he placed his arm around Brina, successfully shooting off Louis from kissing Brina.

"Moreover, from next year most of our children will be getting enrolled in the university and they will keep an eye on each other, help and support each other" Katherine said.

"She might even find her man in the University," Harry added, trying to provoke Louis.

"Hey! My daughter is just sixteen and she isn't getting her man till she is twenty five!" Louis immediately butted in.

"Says the person who kissed my sister when she was barely five," Harry huffed.

"And tried to make a move on her in their university days. You can't forget that!" Katherine reminded Harry.

"And, kissed her on the very first day when they met on the cruise" Will added.

Meanwhile, Brina looked at the four people who were about to start their banter again.

"They never change, do they?" Remus asked.

"Positive" Brina sighed.

"I heard you guys are going on your third honeymoon soon. Is it true?" Harry's wife Rhianna asked, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Yes. Louis recommended" Brina said.

"Is it necessary!!" Harry asked.

"Oh, yes! Very much" Louis said with a provocative smile.

"I don't think so!" Harry grunted his teeth. What to say? He is still possessive of his sister.

"We are going to bake some babies. Any problem with that" Louis asked, giving a lopsided smile.

"That's it. I am taking away my sister" Harry said.

"Brina, S & S corps is your company and we are having a continuous board meeting for the next fifteen days. You must come" Harry said.

"I will come with her," Louis cooly said.

Like this, the banter continued...

.....

Esme and her cousin, Elizibeth soon arrived at the Alpha University which is the most prominent university not only among the five Kingdoms but also the whole World.

"I couldn't believe I am here," Elizebeth said in awe as she proudly petted her heart.

"Yeah, that too at the age of sixteen," Esme added, as a full blown smile swept her beautiful face under the mask.

As it is mandatory for every student to hide their identity, wearing a full mask is a must. This way, the students from Royal families, other noble families and rich families could no longer exert their dominance on the normal students. Besides this, it is also to hide the student life of the Royal kids who might ascend the throne of their respective kingdoms.

"Will you feel home sick?" Elizebeth asked.

"No way, El. Why will I feel homesick when both my maternal and paternal grandparents are here, right in this very same building" Esme said.

After Louis, Brina and Will, Meg have ascended the thrones, Esme's grandparents from both the Kingdoms retired to this University as Governors and governess's and started to teach the children here.

"What about you, El? Will you miss your parents?" Eseme asked her cousin.

"Not much. Your grandparents are like my own grandparents," Elizibeth said. But the undertone in her voice was evident. However, the excited Esmeralda failed to notice it.

"True. When we feel bored we can even go back to my parent's place. Dad left one of his choppers here in case I want to make a quick trip" Esme told, her voice brimming with joy.

Elizabeth just smiled and didn't say anything.

Truth to be told, she always envied Esme.

Esme has wonderful parents who are powerful, lovely and very, very famous. She is pampered by everyone in the family and there is nothing she is ot capable of doing. Starting from their childhood, Esme always stood first in every aspect. Horse riding, Martial arts, Debates, studies, Beauty... name anything, Esme could outsmart anyone.

Besides this, she has maternal and paternal grandparents who provided her with everything even before she could ask for it.

But for her, her paternal grandfather is a villian... the one who killed many people and created havoc. Her parents were the King and Queen but for only a few years and later

passed it to King William. In short, Elizebeth always felt inferior to Esme and that created full blown hatred and jealousy towards her cousin, Esmeralda.

"Esme, will you reveal your identity if you start liking anyone here?" Elizebeth asked.

"No way! My Dad will go paranoid if I do that. If I start liking anyone, I will reveal my identity only after we graduate." Esmeralda told.

"Otherwise Uncle Edward will send half of the army here to keep an eye on you" a boy said as he placed his arm around Esme.

"Stef" Esme yelled in joy and hugged that boy.

He is the prince of the Kingdom Sophene (In case you guys forgot... Kingdom Sophene is the fallen Kingdom which was later retrieved by Brina and others. It is the Kingdom from which Remus hails. Now, it is being ruled by Remus's brother.)

"Hi, Es. You look beautiful in this mask by the way. Maybe I should help uncle Edward by becoming your knight, Stef teased.

"I will kick you if you chase everyone away from me" Esme warned. Her voice was full of fun.

Meanwhile, Elizebeth looked at them and pursed her lips. This is what happens when Esme is with her. She just fades in the background while Esme steals the spotlight.

'You used to be my best friend, Es. But, from now, I will never let you take my position' Elizebeth thought.
