Jeremy's POV

I'm in the dungeon playing plants v. zombies on my phone- very royal of me, I know.

My mom would never let me hear the end of it if she saw this.

Your phone is to put yourself out there as a prince and keep up on your social status because you don't wanna be that forgotten prince.

It's weird. I know.

Usually parents would say "the phone is for communication purposes only, not social media."

Well, I got body guards walking around me everywhere I go, my parents don't even find the time to talk to me in real life, much less on a phone, and I guess it's not princely enough to have friends' numbers or friends in general, so yeah.

This is the only time I get to get away from the prince-y life™.

Surrounded by a bunch of prisoners.

Fun.

Honestly, most of them are pretty chill, I've talked to them before. Hell, I'd even consider some of them the closest thing I got to friends!

"Ugggghh!" I groaned as the zombies got into my home in the game.

"Lost?" Rich, a dude who got put in here for trying to take over the world with a pill to make you 'be more chill' (which has since been removed from him), asked me.

"Yeah, it's been about 10 minutes, I should go upstairs before they notice I'm gone."

Rich is what I like to call my "vent buddy," I know it seems like princes don't have many problems, or stresses, and I seem so selfish talking to a literal prisoner (who honestly shouldn't be here). But think about this:

I am going to have to run an entire fucking country one day. I have to live up to everybody else's expectations, and I have no where close to a normal life.

And about the "meeting everyone's expectations" heere's a list of things I have to live by:

- Smile wide
-No stuttering
- No cursing
- Don't fidget
- No, Jeremiah, you just can't have any mental illness
-Stand up straight
-Marry someone who you probably don't even love
- Go everywhere with a body gaurd
- Don't go in the public without making a scene and announcing your arrival
-Don't show weakness

More boring shit like that, blah blah blah.

Also another non-spoken but highly suggested rule is:

whatever you do don't fall in love.

You see, if you fall in love, it's most likely gonna be with someone who works in the palace, a prisoner, or just someone you meet on the street.

Because, those are the only people you're around.

And as for princes and princesses, they are usually all miserable people like me who are being forced into stuff by their parents.

Like my parents for example, it was a peace offering between two countries.
