00:00What kind of prince walks out on his kingdom the night his child is born?
00:04Turns out the royal babe had a very unroyal upbringing.
00:06He had silk sheets but they felt like shackles.
00:09He had gold, but it turned to dust in his hands.
00:11He had dancers, but their beauty was a blurry mess.
00:14He had gardens that bloomed out of season, but outside the palace walls he saw death,
00:19disease, and decay.
00:21It shattered him.
00:22He held his newborn once, then vanished barefoot into the dark.
00:25No map, no crown, just a storm inside his chest screaming.
00:29Is this all life is?
00:31Years later, they say he returned.
00:33Not as a prince, not even as a man, but as something else entirely.
00:36The one who sat beneath a tree and never looked back.
00:39Because the truth is, the royal escape wasn't from the palace.
00:42It was from himself.
