Father is right. This will be crucial for me as the future King of this nation. This will be the first time I will without my status as Prince. All I have is everything that I learned in my life. After four years when I turn to 20, I will be publicly known. For 4 years, I will be away.
"Prince Alexander and Princess Charlotte, as the King of Saravia, I hereby command the two of you to rest your titles as royalties and enter the Fevrier Academy of Excellence!"
-One Month Later-
-Fevrier Academy of Excellence-
"My Prince, are you ready to formally start your life as a student?"
"Stop being so dramatic, Frank. You know how prepared I am. And by the way, I already told you to stop calling Prince. You are blowing our cover."
"Sorry about that my- I mean Alex. This is so weird!!!"
"Shhh, be quiet already. Let us now enter the school."
I am currently in front of the entrance of the Fevrier Academy together with Frank.
Oh, by the way, the man I am with is named Frank Stevens. He is an orphan that grew up with me ever since I was a child. He has the same age as me. His job is my own personal aide. Aside from the fact that he has outstanding skills as a warrior and as an assistant, what makes Frank different from the typical Royal Servants is that he was never awkward with me. That trait of his was the main reason why I picked him. Frank is my closest friend aside from my family.
The two of us walked towards the gate where we were stopped by a guard.
"Show me your ID, boys."
I grabbed my ID and gave it to him.
"The name is Alex of Mountcastle, sir."
Frank also showed his ID.
"I am Frank, also from Mountcastle."
The guard smirked and replied.
"Two Bloodless Young Men. Good luck to you freshmen."
Both of us bowed and walked away.
"Sir, I mean Alex. It seems like they are already dividing the students right from the start."
"Of course, that is what makes this school different from others."
Fevrier Academy of Excellence. The most prestigious School not just in this nation, but also the best in the entire continent. This Academy is a Four-Year Educational system that does not have any specialization. All of the occupations are covered in here. If you want to succeed in life, you must graduate from here. A graduate of this school is guaranteed to be successful in life. Whether you want to be a Doctor, Scholar, Soldier, or even if you just want to be an educated noble. This Academy is the best path to success.
Usually, these types of schools are only exclusive to nobles. That is not the case for Fevrier Academy. Every single citizen is eligible to enter, whether you are a noble, a warrior, or a commoner. As long as you pass the Examination and Evaluation of the School, there is a twist for that as well.
Every year, there are only 90 slots available. Each of the 90 slots is divided into three groups with each group having 30 students. the groups are named The Pure Bloods, the Half-Bloods, and the Bloodless.
The Purebloods are the students born from Elite Noble Families.
The Half-Bloods are the students that are from Families that just recently became nobles or families that gain its high status through achievements and honors. These are usually the families of Warriors and Knights.
The Bloodless are the students that have no high status. They are the commoners.
Each group has 30 students which means the 30 best nobles fought their way into gaining a slot in the university. The same goes to the Half-bloods and the Bloodless.
"Isn't this method cruel, Alex?"
Cruel.
"You may think that way, but I see it as a need to maintain balance."
After all, you cannot just have a school dominated by on class. This method is very clever but is also fair and unfair at the same time.
The examination already occurred a little over a month ago. It was mainly a written exam, a physical exam, a Mental Capacity Test, and an interview. It was fairly easy for me and I could have ranked first, but I decided that standing out right from the start would not give me an advantage moving forward, which is why I ranked 25th Overall while Frank was 30th out of 90.
The two of us are now at the main entrance of the Academy where we were welcomed by a huge Eagle statue. That would normally amaze most people but I already saw many of those at our mansion. After all, the Eagle is the main symbol of our Nation.
Anyways, were led towards the Auditorium by the staff where we saw that there are already fellow freshmen in there ahead of us. We took our seats at the back so that we can observe more. Some students are already talking and gathering in small groups which were to be expected but all of a sudden, the room's atmosphere shifted.
"It's the number one student!!!"
Everyone's attention focused on the one person that entered the room.
"Who is she? Is she a commoner?!"
"No way! The number one rank in our class is a Bloodless one?!"
"Stop talking absurdly! Although this is still not a piece of well-known information, I heard that she is the granddaughter of the King's Personal Aide."
"Wait, she is from the Cahill Family?! That means she is from the elite of the elites!"
"What is her name?"
"Her name is Charlotte Cahill!"
"My Prin- I mean Alex, Prince Charlotte has arrived."
"I know Frank. And stop calling me that. Also, don't call her. You know that we are pretending to be someone else right now."
Charlotte. Instead of taking the route of being secretive, you decided to be the Shining Star right from the get-go. As expected from my sister.
-One Month Ago-
"Father, may I request something?"
"What is it, Alex?"
"I know that it is part of our tradition that whenever we go undercover, we usually take the route of a Half-Blood since that is what our ancestors used to do as well, but may I ask a different path?"
