Midway through the half, Chris Bowers played in Lewis, who confidently lobbed the Buntingford keeper for Royston's third.
Buntingford then posted a warning sign, with Merv Chaffey having to tip a powerful free kick on to the bar.
However, moments later the visitors had their goal with a well-struck effort on the stroke of half time.
The second half action saw Buntingford pull another back, before Daryl Quinn picked out Leete for Royston's fourth.
The home side almost threw away all their hard work, however, allowing their opponents in for a third.
It was a tense final few minutes, but Royston did enough to hold on.
Royston Town Vets: Chaffey; King, Allen, Stubbs, Bowers; Quinn, Silenti, Leete, Lewis; Clark, Barthrop; McArthur, Jackson, Crowley.
