How can they look into my eyes And still they don’t believe me?

Severus Snape literally fits with the entire discography of The Smiths. There’s no way that, if he ever discovered the band, he didn’t listen to it on repeat during his sleepless, death-wishing nights, thinking every song was about him. I mean, “Back to the Old House,” “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now,” “How Soon is Now,” “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want,” “Unlovable,” “Half a Person,” “Asleep,” “The Boy with the Thorn in His Side,” and of course, “There is a Light That Never Goes Out.” Listen to all those songs and tell me they aren’t literally Severus Snape. Morrissey is to him what Taylor Swift is to white girls with dreams.

There is only one man in The Next Prince that I respect, and I'm saying that with my whole chest! Thatdanai is the only king I acknowledge in this house.

Because the rest of these men ain't shit! They are constantly playing 4D chest and dancing around the subject instead of looking each other directly in the eye and laying hands.

And Blue Boy Wasin was a perfect example of that in episode nine.

There is beef between Wasin and the king because the king quickly threatened to pull funding for Wasin's research (triflin' bitch!) after Khanin attended the PEACEFUL protests, which didn't turn chaotic until the royal guards made it aggressive.

Yet he tried to placate Khanin with khanom tom, which although that treat is freakin' delicious, should not have distracted Khanin from the horrifying fact that the man who was almost strangled to death is going to be imprisoned for life because Khanin decided to attend a protest with a small army of bodyguards!

Wasin also gave Khanin "A black pearl, known to shield its owner and grant them great strength" as if it would make Khanin forget that the mines are KILLING PEOPLE but Khanin already has a black pearl who will shield him and grant him strength.

Thank you color coding for doing your job!

However, Black Brooder Charan who was raised in this oppressive environment by the horrible king himself also tried to pacify his Heavenly Human, so Khanin didn't get too worked up over trivial things like people dying as he signaled to Chakri to hide any news that would upset Khanin about people dying.

I know it takes years to undo a lifetime of traumatic upbringing but I'm going to need these two to truly balance each other out, and for Charan to quit sheltering Khanin from the horrors of the monarchy. Khanin was raised in London. He should already know a thing or eighty million about hating the royals.

Then our Blue Boy Calvin was f*cking up too!

After his mother contacted him about being spotted in public, he ghosted Jay only to show up at that poor boy's doorstep all sad looking.

YET STILL DIDN'T TELL JAY THE TRUTH!

All these BL boys need to take a lesson from My Stubborn's Jun and make their men work for it. Blue Boy Calvin should be in tears right now, but instead he is playing Romeo and Julio standing under Jay's balcony.

At least Ramil has priorities, and every single one of them is solely keeping Paytai safe.

They are the perfect Light x Dark Duo as Paytai would sacrifice himself for Ramil, while Ramil will kill everyone for Paytai.

So let's hope that means Ramil takes down the king because although I think Wasin was behind the attack in the woods, just like I think Wasin was behind Khanin getting poisoned, we need one less king on the chessboard.

KING KUNT GOTTA GO!

The king is all whites and lights when he scheming but the second he is questioned, he turns dark.

So I was actually very proud that Khanin continued to push all his granddaddy's buttons.

Because, unlike his grandfather, Khanin only turns darker for one reason.

And that's to show how much he loves Charan.

I have my issues with the way Charan and Khanin communicate with each other, but once they find their balance, they do very well in supporting each other.

This Heavenly Human wants answers, and he is determined to get them, so Charan is either going to help him or keep him safe while he does it, but Charan can't truly say no to him.

Especially if Khanin is willing to eff up his whole family's lineage (because he daddy is weak!!!!), so he can bring justice to the people.

So even though there might be barriers between Khanin and Charan that prevent them from being their best together,

They are better together when it comes to making this kingdom a better place.

(However, I'm still rooting for Pink Princess Ava who was probably MIA this episode because she was actually practicing for the competition)
