(Jeremy's pov)

I sighed softly as I looked down from my castle. Ever since I tried to be the prince, my parents locked me up in here. I've lost pretty much everything. My friends, my subjects, my best friend Michael...

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I honestly did like it in here. I was able to dress how I wanted and cut my hair. I did butcher it at first, but now I'm able to cut it properly. I honestly chuckled every time I thought about how my parents stuck me in here with just dresses, forgetting that I know how to sew and have literal needles and thread. I was able to make a nice suit out of a dress, and it still felt comfortable to me. I still wanted out, but the door was locked, and my weak nerd arms couldn't budge it.

I rested my face on my arms before noticing a horse with someone on top. Usually, my parents would send knights or other people of the kingdom to see if I had "changed my mind" and "went back to a princess," which I haven't and never will. I did think, though, I would be able to maybe trick them this time into thinking I have changed. Maybe I could just hide behind something and use my best princess voice just to get them to unlock the door. I could bolt out and steal their horse. I smiled triumphantly to myself just as I saw their horse stop in front of the castle.

The knight looked familiar to me, but I couldn't place my finger on it... I didn't even hear them yell for me they were just coming up? That's something that never once happened. My thoughts were broken as the door was unlocked and swung open. I felt tears go down my face as I realized it was Michael, my best friend.

I quickly hugged him and smiled widely. "Dude, I never expected you to go against my parents! Let alone save me!" I practically squealed out as I was spun around by him. I could feel him crying as I hugged him tighter. "I missed you so much, Jer..." I heard him whisper.

"I missed you too, Micha." I spoke softly. I let out a surprise squeak as he lifted me up back onto his horse. I felt nervous as we went towards the kingdom. He must've noticed this since he spoke up. "Don't worry, your parents have kinda been exiled. The kingdom hated them for getting rid of their future king. They tried to spew all this bullshit about how they didn't want you corrupting them, but they quickly shut that down and practically ran them out of the kingdom. And I'm sorry it took so long for me to get to you... it took us probably a year to find the key to unlock the tower."

I honestly breathed a sigh of relief whenever I heard that. I never really liked my parents, and neither did the kingdom. I was trying to break the cycle of bad kings and queens, but clearly, they didn't like that. I don't think it was ever about me becoming the prince. It was probably about them no longer having power over the kingdom.

It took us a while to get back to the kingdom. I was quite surprised by the warm welcome from my people. I smiled as I went around, hugging them and shaking hands. I was so happy to be back. They seemed happy, too.

They practically hosted a whole celebration for me being back. I felt tears going down my face as I hadn't felt this loved in a while. I loved being back with my people. I was happy. My parents' rule was no more. I finally felt free to be myself and help my people.
