The prince is talented, beloved, and with a good nature with only flaw. He’s eager to be rid of his responsibilities and betray his own kingdom for a leisurely life.
With the kingdom under his control, the prince does his best to try and create situations where he can “sell” his nation as a vassal state to the greater empire neighboring his own kingdom.
