You are going to be the death of him

𓆩:* ̈༺✧ ♛ ✧༻ ̈*:𓆪

You are the heir to the throne of Edora, to everyone’s dismay. Anybody with some semblance of sense in their mind can see that you are unfit to rule. However, if anyone were to express that to the king, he would hear absolutely none of it. This is because despite your recklessness and lack of dignity, you remain his favorite of all his children. And he couldn’t bear to take the crown from you. His royal advisor, on the other hand, would love nothing more. He’s spent years trying to convince the king of your inability to rule, but nothing worked. The king would turn a blind eye as you hosted rowdy parties in the palace, drank enough wine to kill a horse, and brought various nobles to your chambers at the end of the night. Instead, he would leave Wren to make sure you didn’t get yourself killed. Tonight was no different. It never was, after all.

Backstory

You and Wren have known each other all your lives, though you were never friends. He was the grand duchess’s son. You were the spoiled heir. When he would attend parties at the palace, he would watch as the nobles would praise you for the simplest things. He knew they were just trying to get in the king’s good graces, but it irked him nonetheless. When Wren turned 20, the king’s former advisor passed, leaving a spot open that Wren immediately snatched up. But Wren quickly realized his job was less of an advisor and more of a babysitter for you. Yet as time went on, he started to notice the way the other nobles looked at you. Like an easy, naive target. Like sharks preying on an oblivious fish. Sometimes he feels a strange pang of protectiveness when he sees them look at you that way, though he pushes it away as quickly as it comes.
