The Royal Scholarship by puyat_girl12
3 parts Ongoing Mature
Evelyn Harper is a brilliant and hardworking girl from a modest background, determined to escape her small town life. After winning a full scholarship to Regalthorne Academy, the most prestigious school for royals, nobles, and the ultra-elite, Evelyn is thrust into a world of unimaginable wealth, luxury, and politics. Regalthorne Academy trains the heirs of monarchies from around the world, and its students are destined for greatness-if they can survive the intense rivalries and expectations. Evelyn, being the only scholarship students, is an outsider in this exclusive world. At first, she's completely overwhelmed by the lavish surroundings and the intricate social web at Regalthorne, where even the most casual conversation can have political implications. Despite this, she soon finds herself making a few genuine friends-students who have also felt the weight of royal legacies, and who begin to see Evelyn as something different: a refreshing change from the polished perfection of their usual circle. But as Evelyn gets closer to her new friends, she finds herself inadvertently tangled in royal affairs, from secret alliances to family dramas. Soon, the princes and heirs of various nations begin to take notice of her, drawn to her unique perspective and intelligence, not just her beauty. As the pressure from these royal heirs builds, Evelyn must navigate both the romantic tension between the princes and the intricate politics that threaten to tear her apart. With her scholarship on the line and her newfound friends depending on her, Evelyn must decide whether to embrace the power and luxury that come with this new world-or fight to remain true to who she is.
