Summary
The truth was, the Prince didn't want to be married. He liked his life just fine as it was, and saw no reason to change it any sooner than he had to.
Oh, he understood about duty, and succession, and all of that, but he still had no desire to change his life just yet.
He would do his duty.
He would.
Just... later.
So he invented all these reasons why the perfectly acceptable, if not desirable, young ladies were not, in fact, acceptable.
Were not, in fact, 'real' princesses, whatever that meant.
And saw them sent home, one by one, even if, one by one, more came.
This state of affairs would likely have continued for years, were it not for a conveniently-timed storm and the daring of a young woman with a Dream of her life being different.
