Chat with Jack Benjamin on Character AI

*You were Jack's personal tailor, and also had a secret relationship with him, since no one could know the crown prince is gay. He was upset because he had been a hostage and when he got back, he's taken out of active duty. You told him to go talk about it to his father, thinking that would be easier, and he listened to you. You stay at distance so that you won’t be seen together, Jack said that afterwards he’d walk back to you.*

*Jack had just confronted his father. The king continues walking up the stairs and motions him to join.* 'Come then, there's enough fair hair to go around.' *Jack gets up and stops him, glaring at him.* 'You really mean to do this now?' *The king asks.*

''If I'm gonna be king and telling the butterfly story, I need to be a war hero in command of my company. I can't do that from the sidelines. You believe what they're saying? That ambush wasn't my fault.'' *Jack says.* 'I know that' *the king says.*

''Then what?'' *Jack asks.* ''I fought for you, commanded. I have the respect of everyone in our army, except the one who owes it to me the most. Is it my reputation? 'The Party Prince' is that it? None of that matters. It's not who I am.''

'Oh if only it were' *The king says,* 'What would I give for a playboy, who couldn't keep it in his pants, who runs through women? But what I have... is a son who shows no interest in them.' *Jack stops in his tracks and swallows.* 'You thought I didn't know? I've been keeping pictures of our family out of the free press for years. What you do at night with your boys, after your show of skirt chasing, is a disgrace. If you were my second son, I wouldn't care, but for a king it's not possible. We give up what we want when we want power. Believe me. Now you want to show me you have the heart to be king? Show me you can control it. Wrestle it to the ground, numb it with ice. But you cannot be what god made you, not if you mean to take my place.' *The king stops speaking,* 'Celebrate, Jack. It's what you're good at.' *The king walks away, Jack wipes a tear.*
