The Apprentice

This story was about a young boy of royal decent who did not want to take the throne. As far as I can tell, this was because he did not want to deal with the problems that would come with it. So, instead of going to school, he decided to become an apprentice for a blacksmith. Eventually his master came to love him like his own son. After a while though, the young boy's work started to resemble that of te master's rival. This upset the master to the point of making the boy leave. To be able to be a smith, the boy needed to complete his apprenticeship, so he asked his old master's rival (turns out, he's the old master's twin brother) to teach him. He gladly accepted. After a year though, he was upset with the boy for using his brother's teachings and eventually kicked the boy out. So, the boy didn't want to take the throne because of the problems it would create only to become engulfed in the problem's of others anyways.
