The prince is stupid. He doesn't posess the talents needed to be a ruler. Even if he easily said he'd put his life on the line. Smarts > Honor 100%. Even if he was to defeat the dragon, he would only bring the kingdom into ruin since he is so naive and stubborn. Traits that will fail anyone. He has access to magic so if he tried and quit being a complete idiotic douchebag then maybe he would've had a chance. I just hope it wont end with the gays damaging the dragon enough that it needs one more hit, so the prince comes in to finish it off. I would hate that so much.
Anyways, thank you for the chapter.
