"Lady Mercedes you have a visitor"
"Who is it Ms. Jameson" Mercedes ask the maid finishing her breakfast
"Your cousin Unique my lady" Ms. Jameson said smiling
"Send him in at once Ms. Jameson" Mercedes said wondering why Unique would be coming by this early in the morning her parents had just left the breakfast table.
"He is coming up as we speak my lady" Ms. Jameson said
"Mercedes how could you not call me yesterday" Unique said once she entered the breakfast room
"What was I supposed to call you about Unique" Mercedes ask
"You got your acceptance letter yesterday" Unique answered
"Of course I got into Charm Academy Unique every royal teenager did and you will to in two years."
"But I wish I could go with you now instead of staying here with HRPITA" Unique said making Mercedes and Ms. Jameson laugh
"Unique you're going to be just fine plus Remiel will be coming home just as I'm leaving he will look out for you, along with the other cousins." Mercedes said trying to reassure her little cousin
"Well at least Azimio is going with you, he was so press last night to show me his letter where is yours." Unique said talking about her cousin Viscount Azimio Kofi James of Adamson on her father side
"My letter is in my room I only have twenty minutes before I need to leave for school so we need to hurry" Mercedes said taking Unique to her bedroom "and why aren't you headed to school"
"Do we have to rush and I have a pass out of class today" Unique stated
"Yes we do unlike you I don't have a pass, must be nice"
"It is, I have gym this morning" Unique said this time making the guards in front of Mercedes bedroom snicker
"Come on here it is" Mercedes said handing over the letter
"Dear Lady Mercedes Danica Basilia of Zauditu, Lady of Persephone-Jones,
On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to the Charm Academy Class of 2012."
"I still can't believe we will be apart for two years" Unique said after finishing the letter
"Do worry Unique time will fly by before you know it and we will be together at Charm. Of course I will be home for breaks and you can send me all the gossip on Skep." Mercedes said hugging Unique
"Charm students only get two breaks a year, and it won't be the same at court without you, with HRPITA and his cronies watching every move I make." Unique said setting down on the bench at the foot of Mercedes bed. HRPITA stood for His Royal Pain In The Ass a term made up by their older cousins.
"One day things will be different Unique and people will open their minds to accepting people like you" Mercedes said taking a seat beside Unique
"No they won't Mercedes no matter how much you, my parents and your parents wish it the people of Zauditu are stuck in their ways. That's why I hope to abdicate my title after I graduate from Charm and move to Alexeevna, Arcane, Astrid, Bolívar, Borealis, Cordova, Excelsior, Falaire, Heliocorona, Java, Kwigillingok, La Forge, Norco, Phlox, Solarstellar, Tarzan, Temecula, Tuendae, Yazoo, Yucaipa or Zzyzx." Unique said naming the twenty-one places where it was legal for her to be herself.
"And your parents agreed to this?" Mercedes ask
"Not internally but they want what's best for me and living here under his kingdom is not best for me."
"You are going to let Azimio have your title?" Mercedes ask
"No that already been taken care of" Unique said smiling
"Now what aren't you telling me" Mercedes said stand in front of Unique
"You will find out at Royal Court, now it's time for you to go to school, you mustn't be late you only have seven weeks to go." Unique said taking Mercedes out the room where Ms. Jameson was waiting with Mercedes books
Ever since she was a little girl Mercedes always knew there was something different about her cousin Viscount Wade Unique Folami of Adams. He would rather play with her then the rest of the boys, love dressing up and tea parties. Wade preferred to go by his middle name Unique, sing, dance and act. Two years ago after visiting the Heliocorona Empire Wade Parents Marchioness Sheherazade "Betty" Berenice Yejide and Marquess Wadham "Wade" Azubuike VIII of Adams came back with a reason why Wade act the way he did.
Wade was transgender which means the differences in the brain's white matter was clash with his genetic sex. His brains is not completely masculine and is not completely feminine, but he still felt female. From that day forward staff and family members where ask to address him as Unique. Because Zauditu was so conservative no outsider could know. The truth was the last person they wanted to find out about Unique was the King Robert Joshua Gregory.
He was their 2nd cousin and had always been jealous of their moms and uncles. When former King Jordan Gregory Isaac III and Queen Danica Sheherazade Mercedes only two daughters Duchess's Berenice and Basilia died with their husbands in a plane crush they raise their young seven grandchildren at Damba Royal Castles. With Mercedes mother Danica and Unique mother Sheherazade "Betty" being their only granddaughters they easily became their favorites along with their brothers. Forever making their cousin and future King Robert jealous of them and the favors they receive from the people of Zauditu.
XOXOXOXO

Mercedes had waited a whole week trying to figure out what Unique was hiding from her. She also spoke with her mother about Unique wanting to live in another Kingdom or Empire once she graduated from Charm. Mercedes and her parents know that was going to be a hard choice especially considering that Unique was an only child.
"I thought you would never get here" Unique whispered in Mercedes ear when she and her parents arrive to the Royal Court. Which was held every first Saturday of the at Damba Royal Palace.
"Good evening Unique" Duchess Danica Basilia Nicole of Persephone-Jones said
"Good evening to you as well cousin Danica my mom is by the ballroom entrance talking to Lady Gamma and Countess Zoe" Unique said using the informal title their close family member use when they were alone
"How are you doing Unique" Mercedes dad Duke Titus Remiel Abdullah of Persephone-Jones said
"I'm well cousin Titus the uncles and cousin are in the ivory drawing room discussing the upcoming game" said Unique said
"Are we the last to arrive" Duke Titus ask
"No uncle Constanz and his family along with cousin Basil and his family have not arrived, also Duke Gregory Isaac II and his family have not arrive yet." Unique said
"So who has been keeping you out of trouble" Mercedes ask
"Oh some of the cousins" Unique said
"You two behave yourselves and stick close to your cousins" Duke Titus said they all worried about Unique and after what Mercedes told them of her plans they hope she would reconsider to stay, but deep down they wanted her to get out as well.
"So want have you been keeping from me this week" Mercedes ask Unique as they walk to the yellow drawing that their cousins where in.
"The announcement will be made later tonight you just need to wait and see" Unique said as more cousins joined them
After the death of the sisters and their husband the royal family was hit with five more losses in the Ehrenreich War. When Crown Prince Jordan Gregory Isaac IV along with his sons Princes Isaac Gorge, Edmund Jordan, Edward Gregory and his younger brother Duke Gere Edward I died. Many people believe that King Robert late father Duke Gregory Robert had something to do with the death of his brothers and nephews to get to the throne.
This created a wariness between the royal grandchildren on one side you had the sisters seven children along with Duke Gere Edward II the only surviving child of Duke Gere Edward I. On the other side you had Duke Gregory Robert children and their royal friends, and distant family members.
It also created a divide in the Kingdom when King Jordan died two years after Duke Gregory Robert I leaving the throne to his grandson Prince Robert many people thought Robert should abdicate to his cousin Duke Gere Edward II because of the rumors. He wouldn't.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive the dinner in the main dining hall was delicious as usual. Then the king made the announcement about the royal children leaving come January and who would be graduating this December. About events the happen in the high courts and other royal business. Then before heading into the grand ballroom to dance he made a last announcement.
"I have been given some news that Marquess Wadham and Marchioness Sheherazade of Idiosyncratic are expecting a baby in March" King Robert announce everyone gave a round of applause
Now Mercedes knew why Unique was fine with walking away from her title her younger sibling would get it and not her evil cousin Azimio. Mercedes wanted to laugh out loud when she saw some of the looks on some of the king cronies faces. She knows thought maybe Unique could join her in the Heliocorona Empire. A world leader in entertainment, culture, media, fashion, the medical field.
