By figuring out how to save the kingdom’s faltering economy through a series of challenges. This undignified circus is beneath a man of my stature!

Only, that means winning over the judge; the smoldering hot grim-faced Gabriel. And now I find myself wanting to compete for more than just the money. But could a royal prince ever fall for a commoner like me?
