(A/N: I can't use the usual font I use on my point of views because the app I use is in my phone, but bummer because my phone's broken and I can't repair it because our town is on lockdown, so as of the moment I will be using my laptop or old phone in writing new chapters)

 • A U T H O R ' S  P. O. V •

"T–Training?" Sooyoung stuttered, her eyes filled with panic, because again, they know something the whole academy doesn't know, "For what?"

"You all heard it right, further information about what this is all about will be discussed tomorrow, then we will be having your first day of training on Monday next week," Their teacher explained. "I am already telling you now to not treat this as a joke, and we will be expecting your full cooperation, am I understood?"

Everyone in the room nodded their heads albeit being confused.

"Ms. Bae, Ms. Park, and Ms. Manoban," The three women's eyes were then diverted to their teacher at the mention of their names. "Can you three please proceed to the principal's office?"

All of their classmate's attention were soon directed at them, their confusion becoming more prominent in their faces, they were wondering why specific names were being called to the said office, they weren't the only ones doing so, but the three girls may have a rough idea on why they were being called. Though they wish they were wrong because their thoughts basically spelled 'danger'.

Irene looked lost for a second, but she regained her composure before standing up first, the younger girls following in suit. She then proceeded to approach the door and waited for Lisa and Sooyoung to walk first before trailing behind them. The atmosphere was nowhere near comfortable as they walked which was very unusual, considering their natural boisterous selves especially when being put together.

"Guys," They all halted at the first sound that was made between them since they exited the classroom, which happened to be the soft voice of Irene, "I have to tell you something, this information will be revealed next week, but I feel the need to tell you this already since you guys are no strangers to this situation, you know well what's going on."

Irene looked at them guiltily. "Our assumptions were right, a war may rise soon."

Both of their hearts dropped as all the colors on their faces faded away, they knew it was coming, yet they were still too afraid to finally face the fact that history was going to repeat itself, but as much as possible they won't allow that.

"Especially to you Lis, you have all the rights to know about this since you have royal blood flowing through your veins," Irene looked at Lisa, "I am deeply sorry, your highness."

"It's okay unnie, I understand," Lisa gave the older girl a small smile, "And I already told you, I still feel awkward being called 'your highness'."

Sooyoung and Irene chuckled. "Well, you better get used—"

"Your h–highness?"

The three of them paled, hearing a voice that belongs to neither of them, they slowly turned around to see a confused but also shocked Jungkook. "Did I hear it right?"

"G–Gguk! What are you doing here?" Sooyoung awkwardly smiled, the uneasiness in her voice was very notable.

"Mr. Kim sent me here to accompany you guys, and he said my father's  looking for me too," He furrowed his brows at them, "But what were you saying earlier? I don't understand."

"W–Well—"

"Everything will be explained to you later, Jungkook, but now I suggest we all head there now, like what Mr. Kim said, this is a very urgent matter."

They were all shocked to see that it was Lisa who was speaking, but what surprised them even more was the amount of seriousness lacing her voice. It was like she was a whole different person from the usual cheery Lisa, this one on the other hand looked cold and serious, but Irene thinks she knows why. Irene knows that Lisa is already aware that she will be shouldering a very big responsibility along with her unnies in the future, so it made her smile because it seems like the younger girl was really taking it seriously.

They knew they were never wrong with their intuition about her and her unnies after all.

"Lisa's right," Irene uttered before facing the aforementioned girl, "And besides, Lisa, we have three girls waiting there that you might want to meet." She smiled.

The tension visibly thickened when they reached the tinted double doors of the principal's office, Jungkook who was oblivious about the situation was the one who grabbed the doorknob after observing the girls' lack of movement, and by girls as in Lisa, Chaeyoung, Jisoo and Jennie because they run into the other on their way. He proceeded to open it to let the girls in first. Seeing the door wide open, the girls were released from their reverie and entered the office, followed by Jungkook and the rest.

"Good afternoon, Headmaster Jang." Irene greeted the old man sitting on the chair in front of them, the others followed her by simultaneously bowing one after another.

"Good afternoon, children." Their headmaster greeted back with a small smile, causing the wrinkles on the side of his eyes appear. "Now that you're here, we will all go to the boardroom to meet the others."

Headmaster Jang rose from his seat behind his desk and lead the youngsters to their destination.

When they finally came face to face with the boardroom, they slowly entered the room to find the other teachers, the staff, and the royalties.

"Your highness." All of the 21 newcomers bowed in respect upon the presence of their rulers.

"Headmaster Jang, I would like to announce a very important matter before we go through the details." Peter declared which received a nod from all the academy's officials.

"Come here, girls." Peter called for the four. Lisa, Chaeyoung, Jisoo, and Jennie all looked reluctant upon seeing the curious eyes of both their new friends and the school's officials.

"I believe that this will be hard to process but, I know that all of you here are aware of what happened to our daughters years ago when the latest war between our kingdom and the rogue nation happened."

The royalties received nods of confirmation albeit being confused on why the topic was suddenly brought up.

Unless.

Meanwhile, Namjoon on the side may have caught on what their majesty was saying but he wanted to hear it from the royalties themselves.

It can't be.

He almost forgot that his brothers can hear his thoughts so soon they started to secretly give him looks of confusion, but even before they had the chance to ask their leader, their Highness spoke again.

"It's all a lie," King Peter declared which garnered a lot of confused looks, so to ease their minds and to finally reveal it once and for all.

"They are not dead, and in fact, they are standing here right in front of you all."
