Prince Eric entered the room. He had not entirely been late, but he had not exactly been roaming about either. He could not believe, to this very moment, that he has to attend an event such as this. He did not think 'parties' were all that important, unlike his father and his siblings, or 'half-siblings' as he would prefer to call them. 


"This is ridiculous."

He spoke his main thought, at the moment, out loud. His eyes scanned the room. He sought out someone powerful to talk to, someone he could try to win over. He was determined to become the successor and would do anything to do so. There was no one within those castle walls who would be able to get in his way, not if he had anything to say about it, or so he thought.
