“Aunt Ashie says you need to pay child support!” The five-year-old Mars said to the crown prince. — While on a break from his duties to Las Vegas, six years ago, the crown prince made a mistake and married a young woman by accident.

Things get more complicated when the two develop feelings for one another.
