Josh's Pov

School day finally arrived, I was looking forward to it. Wondering what to make of the students and teachers alike. So far I've liked it here a lot more than I thought I would. No one has judged me so far and I'm beginning to think it was because of fear of what step father would do to them if he found out.

I'm even thinking of calling him 'dad' instead of father like I called my biological father while he was alive. But I'm going to wait until he's married to mother before I do so. I'm already being referred to as prince Joshua which for some reason feels familiar to me. It feels like I was always meant to be know as 'prince' Joshua. This is a weird I guess George and his royal crap is beginning to rubbing off on me.

Once dressed in my school uniform, I proceeded downstairs to find mother assisting with breakfast, even though there were hundreds of servants at her disposal she still prefers to cook us our meals. "Morning mother, good morning queen Sarah". I greeted both of them seeing as they were the only ones in the kitchen. I kissed mother on her nose.

"Listen here young man, I don't want to hear you calling me 'queen Sarah' it grandmother to you now we are a family." She said firmly. I smiled because for some reason god only knows I liked the sound of that and was going to call her grandmother I'm pretty sure Father wouldn't mind.

"Ok grandmother good morning" She jumped over towards me and gave me a hug. She's a lovely lady and I find her attitude towards life quite interesting

"Now what would you like to have since you just made my morning, I plan on serving you." She said pulling back.  We heard someone clear their throat from the door way. When we looked we saw King Andrew stood there grinning. "Hello to you too old man, I just gained my self another grandson while you were still in bed."  She bragged.

"Good morning, I hope you slept well."  I greeted him. He frowned I knew why but was going to play along like I didn't know what had him frowning. I know George haven't told them I can hear everyone  thought whether they try to hide it or not. So I looked on innocently as if to say what's wrong.

"So all I get is a 'good morning' while my Sarah gets 'grandmother good morning'?" I chuckled quietly to myself after checking his thought to see he actually wanted to hear me say it, I said.

"Good morning grandfather". His familiar silver eyes with an uncanny similarity to my sibling's that looked like George's glowed even brighter. Weird bunch I thought. My fairy hissed at that. He didn't like me calling them weird. Oh he sees king Andrew as a dear friend. Yep he's in the weird brigade.

"Now good morning to you too grandson, are you looking forward to your first day at school?" He asked. So I nodded biting into my toasties without saying a word since I had a full mouth, I was just looking forward to meeting the friends I made the day we arrived here.

"You see, we never sent George to school being an only child. And when he was a lot younger, there were quite the amount of death threats made on his life and that of the royal family. So we educated him indoors even though he had a bright mind the brightest anyone had ever seen until you children came along."  He said smiling with love at fond memories of his son.
