"I guess we can both go and talk Prince Darius into taking over in your place?" I suggested before smiling hopefully.
"I honestly wish that things were that easy," Prince Leonard said with a sorrowful shake of his head.
As the years passed and the king grew older, there was even more pressure on the prince to take over the throne from his father. After Regina's unfortunate miscarriage, she never managed to conceive another child with Prince Florian. Around two years later, they called it quits, and Regina ultimately moved out of the palace to return to her home. I never got a chance to speak with her, but the rumors said that she was happy to move out of the palace. I took comfort in the fact that she would be away from all the politics and hoped that her relationship with Prince Florian ended on a positive note. Prince Florian wasted no time in returning to his old ways, and he refused to get into another serious relationship; marriage was also the furthest thing from his mind.
