What would you know what I feel? A kingdom does not fall because its prince does not exert his power over his people. They may rely on him for all of those things, and still find a friend in him. You can be equals with someone, but have different strengths. A prince will command their royal guard when need be, will exert authority when it's required of him, and when that's all said and done, what truly differs a prince from a commoner? A crown, or fancier clothing? If you give those to a servant, would they now be royal? If one learns to do all that a prince does, would they be eligible to take his place, their status notwithstanding?
