Not Chosen

It is told that once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, a king was trying to recover from the death of his queen. His only son the prince would sleep for most of the day after a long night of drink and merriment, only to wake up during the afternoon and join his friends, all children of wealthy landowners, on his daily adventure of wreaking havoc on his countrymen. People would avoid them at all costs, as they had a fierce reputation for bullying and humiliating people, especially the poor farmers laboriously working the fields.
