Challenge #03536-I248: Unearned Wants

It's easy to hate something, or someone, when you are lied to your entire life about that thing, or person, by someone who hates them, or is very jealous of them.

Even the organisations with the best of intentions have their dropouts. They try their best, but some people are just determined to never accept certain things. A prince, old enough to know luxury and believe in the promise of inheritance, did not take kindly to the generosity of the Honour Guard.

Prince Faustin didn't like an absence of privilege, and ran away from the Honour Guard as soon as he could. He fell in with similar young blades who felt themselves badly done-by in the world.

They each had their complaints, but it all boiled down to every single one of them not being handed whatever they wanted on a silver platter. Money, power, fame, or the attention of those they desired. It didn't really matter. What mattered was that they were wont to blame everyone but themselves for what they believed to be missing.
