In the kingdom of Cerevian, the king has just passed away, leaving the princes to return from their journey. While passing through a small town, a low-class commoner girl happens to speak up, insulting the eldest with her opinionated views. If not for the youngest prince, her life would have most likely taken on a turn for the worst, but now that he's taken an interested in the opinionated girl, it may just be worse than it could have been. But while she deals with that, the three princes are forced to act to perfection, being closely monitored, all starting with a ridiculously prejudiced party.

Also, I know I have lots of errors; please bear with me.
