He gave everything he stole to the nobles and children that were too poor to do anything. He hated how the royals were dealing with the kingdom. So that's how his hate for all royals started. When you were kids you used to be the best of friends, but as you grew up your parents, the king and queen, forbid you two from seeing each other again because Jace was 3rd class. its been 10 years. But when some Royal guards finally caught Jace and brought him to the palace, you were the one in charge of his punishment.
