"Wonder where the guys are," Sakata said as he looked down from the balcony, looking at the sea of people filling the ballroom.

They could see the different types of people, ranging from children to adults to shop owners to royalty from other parts of the kingdom. Some were filling their plates with food, others holding their drinks as they were talking to their friends. Soft piano music filled up the rest of the silence, with people watching the pianist's fingers dance across the keys.

The three males were in their prince attire, a bow in their respective color was attached to the collar of the outfit. The three had been on the balcony over the ballroom for a few hours, they were fine at first but now boredom was starting to hit them. They couldn't roam around the castle, as it could possibly end up with a guest seeing them and freaking out, which would cause problems. So the three males were with their parents on the balcony, as it wasn't visible to others, waiting for the time to be granted the freedom to roam.

Soraru glanced down, he had heard a few people earlier when he was quietly heading to the balcony that they were wondering what the king and queen were planning. He heard them question what was so important that there needed to be a party.

"They're probably not here yet." Senra said as he scanned the area, causing the redhead pouted.

"So how exactly will this work?" The raven-haired asked his parents.

"Well first we'll announce you guys being the princes and then have Yuuto use his power on everyone so they slowly get their memories back." The king said as the blonde tilted his head.

"What about those that couldn't attend?" Sakata asked as Aihi smiled.

"He's actually going around the town right now and giving them their memories, though he's doing it so that it comes back at a certain time."

So kinda what he did to me, Sakata thought as he remembered that the teal-haired had used his powers on him but he only remembered about everything a while later.

"Wouldn't it be better to give them their memories first and then announce us being the princes?" Senra pointed out.

"If we announce about you three first then it can help us find point out possible enemies hiding," Aihi began to explain, "people will be confused once you three appear, wondering who you are, shocked that we had secret children, but if we see someone who don't react much then they are a bit suspicious."

"Couldn't they just fake a reaction to avoid being spotted?" Soraru pointed out, the other two males nodded their heads in agreement.

"We'll have Hana, Nqrse and Lon use their powers to sense if a person's aura or reaction is genuine and not a cover up."

"Wait, Lon?" Soraru said in confusion, "but she doesn't have powers? And is it really okay to have her caught up in this?" He gave them a worried look.

"She doesn't have powers, but with the necklace that Hana gave her she can sense the auras of people as long as she wears it."

"So people can also use powers as long as they wear something that contains it?" Sakata curiously asked as the king and queen nodded their heads.

"We keep learning new things about this whole thing," Soraru muttered to himself in amusement.

"Though I'm guessing it has to be made by someone with powers and given to them so they can use it. I doubt that anyone can get their hands on something like that." Senra stated as the queen smiled at her children.

"I know you're concerned about having your friends help us but it's better to have people you trust protect you." The king said, the raven-haired still felt a bit worried about the idea.

"So Amatsuki, Luz, Kashitaro, Kuro, and Shima also have some magical item with them?" Senra questioned as their parents nodded their heads again.

"Well your father and I will be going, you three have to stay here until we say so, then you can go with your friends." Aihi kissed them on the cheek before the two left through the door from the balcony to head to the ballroom.

"Now we wait~" Sakata whined, he was tired of staying up here and doing nothing until it was time.

"I'm still kinda worried that the others are helping," Soraru said as the blonde nodded his head.

"I feel like they shouldn't get caught up in this, it's our problem not theirs."

"But it's kind of a good thing," the redhead said as he gave his brothers a bright smile, "they have something to protect themselves if things go bad, better them having it than not being able to use magic to save themselves."

"True, as long as they keep whatever they have around then they'll be fine."

"I just wish we can get all of this over with and not have to worry about anything anymore." Senra stated as the others nodded their head in agreement.

"We'll just have to see how this plays out." Soraru said as he rested his elbows on the balcony's railing, looking at the people enter and walk around the ballroom. We just have to be careful.

*******

"We finally made it~" Lon cheerfully said as they entered the castle.

"Would've been earlier if you guys arrived at my house on time." Shima said as a few of them sheepishly looked again.

"Hey, I wanted some boba so I stopped by to get some first," Kuro said, "the others don't have excuses though."

"Hey!" Amatsuki said as he pointed to the two brunettes, "if Urata and Kashi arrived on the time then we would've been here earlier."

"All of you arrived late, even Shima, the one who's house we were going to meet up," Urata muttered as the purple-haired looked away sheepishly, "Lon, Eve and Sou were the only ones that were on time."

"He's not wrong." Eve said as the red eyed brunette whined.

"Eve~ you were suppose to defend us."

"I was starting to think you guys weren't going to come." Hana said as she walked towards the group.

"What's makes you think that we'd miss our friends welcoming ceremony?" Luz said as the pink haired female laughed a bit.

"True, the only reason that comes to mind is that you guys got lazy or forgot."

"Hey, we wouldn't miss this for anything." Mafu said, "so where are they?"

"Up on the balcony," Hana carefully pointed to the balcony further away from them, "though I can't let you guys go there."

Mafu caught a glimpse of the raven-haired, who was just lazily looking around, and waved at him. Soraru noticed the albino and just waved back. The albino smiled as the other two males waved back at them.

"They look bored." Nqrse commented with a small chuckle as Eve laughed too.

"I mean they do have to be hidden from everyone else until it's time."

"You guys have the things I gave you before right?" Hana said to them, they all just nodded their heads.

"How do we know how to use it?" Kashitaro said as the pink haired female shrugged.

"Don't know," Hana replied as she began to walk away, "see you guys later."

"EH?!? WAIT IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEN HOW WILL WE?!?" Amatsuki shouted, seeing the female wave her hand casually.

"You'll figure it out eventually, they were design for you guys anyway so I wouldn't know."

"She expects us to just immediately learn how to use these..." Luz mumbled as they watched the female disappear into the crowd.

"Guess we'll just have to wait around until we can go to them." Shima said as he looked up the balcony again to see the three princes talking with each other, he smiled at the blonde's cheerful expression.

"I'll stay by Lon's side," Kuro declared as she linked her arm with the female, "don't want anyone to try to steal her~"

Lon just let out an amused laugh as the red eyed blonde puffed her chest out as if to make herself look intimidating.

"Like anyone would be afraid of a shortie." Amatsuki muttered, earning a small slap on his arm from Kuro.

"Urata would beg to differ." Mafu let out a small laugh as the green eyed brunette gave him a small glare.

"Oi."

"Though, I'm surprised to see you guys actually dress up." Kuro jokingly said as the guys gave her an annoyed look.

"Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" Shima replied, "I'm from royalty so I would, can't say the same for the others."

"At least defend us too you idiot." Urata said in an unamused tone.

Sou just watched the others interact, laughing at their bickering and teasings. He noticed that the mushroom haired had seemed to gone quiet for a while.

"You seem to be thinking about something." Sou said in a worried voice.

"I'm just wondering if it's a good idea for us to be out in the open too," Eve said, "I mean the enemy could remember us."

"But it's a big crowd, I'm sure people would notice something suspicious." Luz said as the male nodded his head.

"And I doubt they'd be stupid enough to attack us in plain sight." Urata pointed out giving Eve a reassuring small smile.

"But we should still make sure to be close to each other just in case." Nqrse said as the albino laughed a bit.

"Don't need to say that to Amatsuki and Kashi~ They'll stay by each other's side forever~"

"Same with others." Urata gave them a teasing smirk.

"Just wait until you guys get to see your boyfriends." Kashitaro retorted as the albino blushed while the short brunette rolled his eyes.

"Attention everyone," the group turned their heads to look at the king that had just spoken, "thank you all for coming today."

"Wouldn't this be a good time for the enemy to attack," Amatsuki whispered to the others while the king continued to speak, "all of us are paying attention to the king and not anyone else."

"We're so paranoid about this." Kashitaro muttered out as the pink haired male crossed his arms.

"They probably know that there are some people watching out so they don't want to possibly give themselves away."

"Plus Hana and Yuuto are by their side," Mafu said as he saw the two stand next to the door behind the king.

"All we can do is watch," Eve said as he glanced around the room, seeing people listen to the king's speech.

"Here they are, our three sons," the king gestured to the door, it opened and the three males entered the room.

"They look like they don't want to be there." Shima commented as the red eyed blonde laughed a bit.

"I mean there are a bunch of people staring at them like they're an exotic animal." Kuro stated as she saw the guests' wide eyes.

"Should we act surprised too?" Mafu asked, "wouldn't people be wondering why we aren't shocked?"

"I think it's fine," Sou said, "like Amatsuki said earlier, no one's paying attention to us."

"Princes?"
"They're kinda cute."
"Why'd the king and queen keep them a secret?"
"How can we be so sure that they're their sons?"
"Maybe they're just orphans that they took in."
"I've always wondered why they had some rooms even though it was just the two of them living in the castle."
"Will we be able to marry one of them?"
"So which one's the oldest?"
"I think this is just publicity."
"Their expression don't seem to look like an expression a prince would have."

"I'm surprised that everyone seems a bit calm." Kashitaro said as the blonde female nervously laughed.

"Well, I mean everyone is doubtful and confused so it makes sense."

The king glanced at the teal-haired and gestured to the side with his head. Yuuto smiled as he closed his eyes, a glow mixed in different shades of green filled the room. He then opened one of his eyes, Soraru could see that the male's green eye was filled with stars and almost looked like a galaxy before the glow slowly dimmed down.

Yuuto grinned as his eye went back to normal, silently laughing at the crowds' zoned out expressions. He turned to the three males and gave them a thumbs up, sticking out his tongue.

The king looked at everyone, soon people began to blink and look at the three males, their memories slowly filling in the holes in their brain.

"Wait, it's them."
"Ah, how could I forget about Soraru, he's so charming."
"Sakata is still such a precious child even after all these years."
"Wait, wasn't that the thief from back then?"
"Those three are as lovely as before."
"I guess it's their anniversary or something."
"This ball's probably to announce if they have partners or need to find them."

The room began to get filled by the chatter of people talking amongst themselves about the princes, wondering how they could forget about them, remembering some moments they had with the males.

"I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the night, thank you."

The guests clapped after the king finished speaking before going back to their conversations and having fun. The confusion faded away and it began to feel just like a regular party to them.

"You three can go to your friends now." Aihi whispered to her sons as she smiled.

She bowed towards the guests, ruffled the three male's hairs before following her husband as they walked away to chat with the guests. The three let out a sigh of relief, not even realizing that they were holding in their breaths.

"I honestly was getting worried," Senra announced to the other two, "things were going too calmly."

"Yeah...." Soraru pondered about it for a while, "though I guess they had a feeling it would be too obvious to attack during the introduction."

"Well that's over with, let's go to the others~" Sakata grabbed the males' hands and began to drag them to where the others were.

The blonde and raven-haired just smiled and laughed at the redhead's eagerness. They thought about how this night will be interesting, being with their friends and having a fun time.
