I do not claim to own Ouran

Hunny waved them over to a table already almost filled with boys. Before she sat down, though, Hunny pulled her aside.
"What?" She asked. "Aren't we supposed to eat now?" To be honest, Haru was famished. Granted, she always was, but still.
"Well, I just kind of wanted to prepare you." He started pointing to people at the table. "That's Daichi. Second year squire. His family advises the crown. Watch out for him though."
"Why?" He looked nice enough.
"It's... well, he's sneaky. Just... stay on your guard around him." He moved on. "That's Yoshiro, first year squire. His family... well, no one knows what they do, exactly. I'm relatively sure his father's the spy master, though. But it's confidential, so no one really knows. He's nice though. That's Ren, a first year squire. His family is mainly agricultural. Katsuo's his brother, and a trainee like you. Sora's a first year knight. He's the Prince's cousin on his mother's side." He hesitated before introducing the people at the head of the table. "That's Hikaru and Kaoru. Trainees like you, except they're almost done with training, and everyone knows them since they've been living at the palace for the last year. their parents are some of the richest nobles in the kingdom, even if their lands are pretty isolated." Next he nodded to a dark haired boy with glasses. "That's Kyoya. He's actually the son of the King of Zarath."
"He's Zaren? Then what is he doing here in Alanora?"
"Well, he's the third son, so he's obviously not going to get the throne. So his father sent him over here to train and stay out of trouble, in case he decides he does want the throne over there. Helps with diplomatic reasons between the two countries, too, us having Kyoya. he's a second year squire, and will be going for his knighthood in three months." Gesturing to the last man at the table, Hunny grinned. "That's Tamaki."
"As in... the crown prince?"
"The very same. He's also a second year squire, but he doesn't turn eighteen until four or so months from now, so he'll be knighted then. And... that's all of them." She pulled her over to the head of the table. "Tama-chan, Kyo-chan, Kao-chan, Hika-chan!" Haru raised an eyebrow at the nicknames. "This is Haruhi. He's new today."
One of the twins leaned forward. "New, huh? That means he's-"
"-a trainee like us." The other one leaned forward. "This should be fun." Identically evil smirks came onto their faces.
"Hikaru, Kaoru! Is that any way to greet a newcomer? We should be gracious." The blond one - Prince Tamaki - stood and gave a deep-to-the-point-of-being-theatrical bow. "Haruhi, right? Welcome to my court." He swept his arms wide to indicate the boys at his table and the thirty or so others in the room.
"Yes, welcome Haruhi." It was the foreign prince, Kyoya. He glanced her up and down before smirking and going back to his food.
"Come on, lets go get our food, the line is this way." In a slight daze, Haruhi followed Hunny and Mori.
Princes, wealthy sons of spy-masters and devious sets of twins.
What had she gotten herself into?
... ... ...
You know in the anime, how there are lightbulbs that go off when the host club members figure out she's female? I wonder how I'm going to convey that. Kyoya just smirks in this chapter to show it (after, like... two seconds. As is his way), but I don't know about the others.
