Jason Grace hated being a Prince. It wasn't as bad when his sister Thalia had been first in line to the throne, and all he had to worry about was being a daddy's boy. But then she ran away. Without him. She had left him to run an entire country on his own after their father died. Luckily, his father hadn't died yet. Or rather, unluckily.

Without warning, he jumped off the pedestal that the tailor had made him stand on, despite the said tailor squawking in annoyance. Jason laughed and called out "You already have my measurements, just use my last jacket as a base!" as he ran down the hall to the servants quarters. He had to talk to two particular servant boys...
