Castles and kangaroos, together at last!
Leo is a third-born prince forced onto the throne after the death of his parents and brother. His kingdom and castle are in shambles, his family's murderers are getting bolder and he is utterly unprepared to be king, but Leo's biggest problem is definitely the castle fool. It keeps making fun of him.
He just wants to make his dead dad proud. Or maybe to dismantle every shitty policy he ever made, and flip off his grave a whole bunch. Of course, he might hate his new responsibilities more if there wasn’t a mystery man with a bad habit of appearing every now and then to test Leo’s morality.
Leo doesn’t want to be the kind of king who has a secret lover. But his restraint is only so strong…
The assassins are creeping closer and if Leo can’t charm the neighbouring countries, it’ll mean war.
He better learn how to juggle, fast.
