𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐘 𝐁𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐀 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓’𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐈𝐌  ⎯  over twenty years ago the war against villainy was defeated by the kingdoms who had imprisoned all those who had wronged them onto a small wasteland half a world away from their reality. after the war had finished and the kingdoms started to settle many of the lands moved towards an alliance of sorts, forming the united kingdoms of auradon. naucris was one of these lands falling in line bending the knee to the ‘noble’ king adam who had led the charge in war efforts and now would oversee leadership of the lands.

with bending the knee came new lines to follow, naucris royalty was now more of a formal cosmetic than a role, everything within their kingdom had to go pass king adam before anything could be done. it was a restriction the southern kingdom was unfamiliar with initially but grew adjusted too. the lack of hands on work meant the king and queen could be more with their people, promote a strong and united front to their people. that was their duty now and they done it well.

the charming dynasty continued on, with their children joining the line. a crown prince who would one day be the appearance of the bloodline and required to be that strong and stable face his father was. when chad (christopher jr.) was born he wore that prince title ever so proudly, for a long time he was ‘prince chad’ the valiant. always wanting to play that knight in shining armour to princesses, coming in and protecting them against any ill will. yet as he got older the novelty of his title wore off, he grew to understand that ‘prince’ was merely just a cosmetic and he wouldn’t actually ‘rule’ as much as be a political front. 

sitting on a throne with little responsibility of his own kingdom was seeming ever more a golden cage and not one he wanted to be trapped in for the next fifty years. chad wanted to make a difference in the kingdoms and he couldn’t see how he could do that as a mere cosmetic. he was not politically gifted nor particularly inspiring to his people.

at aged 18 he decided to make a decision that would change the course of his life and affect his own people greatly. after talking with the naucris council he had decided to abdicate his position in the royal lineage leaving his sister to be crown princess to follow something that he could truly put his heart into. giving up his title of prince, chad was instead sought a knighthood and became sir christopher a knight of the seventeen kingdoms. he swore his sword to his best friend and king ben, swearing his allegiance and fealty to the kingdoms.
