A rule they must abide by and a secret that should never see the light, but things unfolded when secrets built tyrannical chaos and a royal scandal.

This would be the day Theo wouldn't like to wake up and see what will go to happen for the rest of the day. He was thinking this would happen in another decade or so, but not in a quick span of hours—it's not even twenty-four hours since he got back on the Palace and being ripped off from his college, and now he'll be the King of the county he doesn't actually know where to start.
Theo jumped out of his bed when he heard knockings on the door. He walked tiringly to open the door just to see his personal royal guard Jeremy.
"Good morning, young sir," he greeted with a much more serious tone, not even a smile on his face.
"Good morning," Theo greeted back with a smile he pulled back quickly, walking back inside his room letting his door open for his royal guard.
"I'm sorry if I bothered you, but you'll be needed in the Council Chamber in an hour. Have you already, sir?" RG Jeremy asked.
"Not yet," he answered, shaking his head. "But you didn't bother me. I was already awake for like... thirty minutes before you knocked on the door. Starting this day feels so stressful. I really don't know what to do."
"I'm afraid, sir, I cannot help you with that," he said. "But I assure you, whatever you do, it will be great and be great for the country."
"Oh, wow. Thanks for the kind words, Jeremy," he said. "That helps a little, but not at all to what I was dreading inside. Anyway, I'm talking too much. I'm gonna take a bath."
"I'll be waiting outside, sir," he said.
Theo shook his head. "You can stay inside," he suggested. "It'll be much safer if you are inside."
RG Jeremy just gave him a nod with his order. Theo then grabbed some clothes, a towel, and his robe.
"I'll be back in a hot few minutes," he reminded me as soon as he entered the bathroom.
As soon as he got inside the shower, he felt a little weird about the conversation he had with Jeremy. It seems like the person doesn't really care about what would he say and is not interested at all. Maybe, Jeremey hated him to be the next king of this country. Throughout his bath, he couldn't stop overthinking a lot of different scenarios in his head that's why when he got out of the shower, he just wanted to lay down in bed, but then he noticed Jeremy watching him in the corner.
He panicked a little when he was only wearing underwear under his robe. Though it wouldn't be a problem since they're both guys and why would it be a big deal after all?
Theo started looking at the clothes and what to pick for the occasion. Since he knows what to wear, he quickly grabbed his formal royal suit. It is a black-collared suit with gold knot sashes roundabout the suit. He looked and see himself in front of the mirror, he saw Jeremy in the background watching him.
"Do I look fine?" he asked, looking through the mirror.
"You look good, young sir," RG Jeremy responded timidly.
