Emperor, this is what happened when you spoiled your son(?). He thinks he own everything, including human lives. Your empire bound to be ruin. He loves ariel? Nuh~~ he's obsessed about her. How about ariel? I doubt she loves him truly(I mean, she's ok with everything. Example: killing her friends, she just cry like sorry but not sorry)
I bet the crown prince thinks " Wow, she's the first women to kick me. Interesting (๑•o•)و✧". Then slowly falling in love. If only in RL is easy to get hot guys. UwU
