"And this," — he drawls into the void, addressing the ceiling, — "is called royal education!"

The prince, once a pampered and arrogant heir to the throne, was imprisoned by his parents in a forsaken castle as punishment for his selfish and impudent nature. His impossibly high standards led him to reject every bride, earning him a reputation as a spoiled, narcissistic figure. To teach him a lesson, his parents spread the lie that only a girl who could defeat the dragon guarding the castle could free him. However, this is a deceitful ruse, meant to force the prince to reflect on his behavior and appreciate what he had. With the dragon as his only company, he is left to confront his own arrogance and face the reality of his isolation.
