I got busy trying to get my life together and I neglected you. I'm sorry sometimes that's what happens in relationships.

As per tradition with all the Princes of Illea a selection is held, where 35 girls throughout the kingdom compete for his hand in marriage. Kinda like The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games with less bloodshe...
