He sat in the throne room next to his parents the Queen and King, they wanted to get him a personal guard he won’t be able to sneak around and do things he’s not supposed to be doing like going to the village at night talking to the chiefs and servants.. and honestly he didn’t want a stuck up old knight following him around all day. His parents are literally just going to let anyone try and become his personal guard in some random trails! Even ‘peasants’ as long as they pass the trails.
