Summary
Since his brother's death, Laurent has become a recluse and shunned public appearances. Auguste was the prince beloved by the nation, but now Laurent is the only prince Vere has and the country sees him as irresponsible, unsuitable, and unpleasant.
Now, to prevent the council removing him from the royal line and all control of the country being transferred to his uncle, Laurent has to play along with his uncle's scheme and become The Bachelor to gain the public's affection and a husband he does not want.
Laurent knows his uncle intends for his unpleasant personality to ensure the country hates him and he is certain the Regent has men planted in the contestants as backup plans should Laurent fail to destroy the country's hopes and dreams of a royal wedding.
There's no contestant Laurent is less eager to see than Prince Damen of Akielos who had a private less than pleasant past with Auguste and surely was cast because of it. But if Laurent is going to make it through this, he is going to have to pretend to play nice instead of fracturing the already fragile peace between Vere and Akielos and he's going to have to make an alliance with Damen off camera for the best interest of both of their countries.
