Prince Alfred stands apart from the rest of his royal family and has little expectation of becoming its favored son. When he witnesses Crown Prince Leor publicly break his engagement to Charlotte while accusing her of wrongdoing, Alfred steps in and takes the risk of defending her. What begins as an attempt to stop one unjust humiliation changes Alfred’s position at court and draws the supposedly troublesome prince into conflicts where acting honorably may be far more politically dangerous than behaving like a villain.
