"Father, I renounce my throne." He tossed the crown aside. "To hell with you and your kingdom. I'll see you in another life." He turned back by a fraction. "Hopefully not."
Caelum Evisage is the definition of entitled but irresponsible. With the weight of the kingdom about to fall upon his shoulders, he flees, leaving Marcudo with a dying King and an incompetent Queen. What's worse? They're fighting a war.
When Caelum realizes his mistake, it's almost too late. But with the help of a complete stranger, he just might be able to save his kingdom.
