Set in midieval time, a young-ish prince is set to wed a beautiful young princess from a faraway castle to solidify unities between the two kingdoms. The problem is, the prince does not feel for the princess as he should, and to complicate the relationship further, he has strong feelings for the young man whom works in the stables and studies to become the King Aide and advisor. Such a partnership in the kingdom is absolutely unacceptable, as the stable hand, despite his role as advisor to the king also, is not of suitable status, nor is the prince able to sustain a relationship with this other man for he is engaged to be married to a princess. The fate of relations between the two kingdoms hangs in the balance as head and heart battle within the poor prince.
The stable hand boy also faces trouble, for he relies on his job to pay for medicine for his ailing sister and knows that if the king were to find out of his relations with the prince, he would be fired and never find work again, or worse still, executed for his acts.
