Ben! Didn’t Mother teach you not to steal?

Fine, borrow.

People are backstabbers, and people will hurt you, you shouldn’t always live by a silly rule. Trusting that woman back on Disney is sort of what got us brought here, wasn’t it? There’d be no point in having a rivalry now, she’s all I’ve really got left, when you think about it, just like you with Rosalinda, and what other siblings you have, we don’t really have much, so family is the one thing we can rely one.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but I haven't found a reason to make any as of yet. I'm not blindly trusting. Just because I see no reason in being cruel to others doesn't mean I will stupidly befriend everyone. I just think everyone at least deserves a chance. Very true. Besides, we're all in this together in the end.

You’re too nice for your own good, you know that? You’re going to end up being nice to someone who really doesn’t deserve it, you shouldn’t be so trusting all the time, buddy. Older sibling, actually. I do and I don’t care that she’s the older one, she’d be the one getting everything if anything happened to my parents back at home, it bothers me because I’m not the older one, but at the same time she’s my sister and I know how smart she is, so I know she wouldn’t be an idiot and make a mess of it all, so there’s that.

I'm just living by the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and kindly, even the most wicked among us. Who knows, maybe something will make her want to pass down the throne to you. I like that you believe in her, though. Sibling rivalry can be so dismantling.

That’s true, but if I could be the heir, I would. Well, if they like you just because of your title, use them to your advantage and get what you want out of them, think of it that way. I like you for you, you don’t need to worry about me being obsessed about your status or bloodline, I’ve got my own. But, I think you’re pretty cool.

Oh no, I'd never take advantage of someone. I'll just choose my battles wisely. Thanks, Ricky, I appreciate that. It's normally easier with people in the same position, but I don't like to limit who I talk to solely to other royals. I think you're a cool guy, too. I'm assuming you have older siblings if you're not the heir? It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Well, you’re not in Notre Damia anymore, so why don’t you take your title back? I’m pretty sure that the girls around here would love to hear about a prince from a foreign country, you’d get all the girls pretty easily, so why don’t you just use your title for reasons like that? You don’t need to be a king, just a very smart prince.

I'll always be a prince; just not the heir. I wouldn't want people to like me just because of a title, though. That feels so...insincere. If someone likes me, I want them to like me for me. Not my status or my bloodline.

I only show them to the right people, think of it that way. You gave your title, away? Are you out of your mind?! You just- no, you don’t do something like that, man. You should really take it back, you’ll never be good if you don’t try. You’ve practically given up all of your power, and you haven’t even tried. I’m your friend, and I do kinda care about you, but you shouldn’t be making yourself out to be a pathetic loser.

I thought it was a rather smart decision, actually. Rosalinda's brilliant, she's what's best for my country, and that's all I want for the people of Notre Damia. What's best. Power doesn't merely lie in the hands of those in charge. I'm not making myself out to be that way. At least, I hope I'm not. I just don't see myself as king.

The majority of people have good qualities, I even have good qualities besides my appearance, I just don’t show them very often. So, you don’t think you’d be fit to be a king? And, why’s that? I don’t give compliments very much, but I think you’d make a pretty great king. You keep putting yourself down and not realizing how good you are, you’ll never get anywhere. We’re friends, you don’t need to thank me.

I think you show them. You're kind and comforting. I don't, actually. That's why I gave my title to my younger sister. She's a much better fit, she's great at pretty much everything. I know what I'm capable of, and I've accepted my limits. It's nice of you to say so, but I just don't see it.

Some, good looking people are pompous assholes, not all, we’re not. Well, I am when I want to be, but you definitely don’t seem to be one. What makes me say that? Well, you’re handsome and you have an extremely amazing title at your disposal, why wouldn’t you want to act superior? Why are you being humble? Most people don’t deserve it.

True, but I think everyone's got some good qualities in them. Sometimes I wish I could give up my title to someone more deserving, I don't think I'm very fit for it either. My sisters are much more suited for the throne. I'm not being humble, just being honest. Thank you, though, honestly.

Yeah, it must of definitely been a lot of yard work if you’re like a giant, now. You seem extremely down to earth, and relaxed. I’m just surprised, mostly because of how good looking you are, better looking than the rest of the people here and you’re superior to most of them, too.

Like I said, I think it's just good genetics. Thanks, I try and go with the flow so. No real use in getting upset over nothing, nor is there any point in building a superiority complex. Ha, are you saying most good looking people are pompous assholes? You certainly don't seem to be one. Nah, no reason for me to be superior than anyone else. What even makes you say that?

Well…
