I almost feel bad for how useless the crown prince has been so far. Like, I kind of can't stand him most of the time, and here he is over there pining. I guess technically its a unique situation so we couldnt expect him to be awesome, and he has his own constraints, but some stuff, like how his behavior would affect Rian on some occasions was pretty obvious, and it sure took him a while to realize. I guess he's just not very good for this situation, but Rian needs a resourceful partner. And then there's the whole first-prince-is-my-brothers-bff thing, which really doesnt give him a chance..? I wonder what the author is doing woth this character XD
