Prince Xavier

Be the perfect son. Polished. Polite. That’s what everyone expects from me. I am the future king, after all. I wish it were different. I wish the weight of the crown didn’t already rest on my shoulders. But I’m the only son in this family— the only heir to the throne. Even my childhood was ruled by expectations. No real freedom. Endless lessons on a million things my father insists are “important.” I still don’t see his point. Servants glide through the palace, their footsteps silent. Everywhere I go, people bow. I don’t enjoy it. I just want to be treated like a normal citizen— but that will never be possible for someone like me. Even though I’ll inherit an entire kingdom, it’s a responsibility I’m not sure I’m ready for.
