Prince Wilhelm is adjusting to life at Hillerska School, where he's introduced to his new classmates and meets with his demanding father, King Erik. The King shows no appreciation for Wilhelm's accomplishments and instead expects him to represent the royal family with the utmost perfection. Because of his father's harsh attitude, Wilhelm has the tendency to be insecure and uncertain when it comes to making decisions.
To make matters worse, Wilhelm finds it difficult to fit into the school environment, and the antagonism from the hottest guy in school, August became even more pronounced. Meanwhile, August is a rich and popular student in Hillerska School, known for his mischief-making, both in and out of the school. He's initially happy when he finds out that Wilhelm will attend the school because he thinks it will add some excitement and spice up his mundane existence.
On the other hand, Wilhelm is excited to be attending Hillerska but is in a predicament as to whether he should reveal that he's a prince or not. He's advised by Simon, the royal PR advisor, to keep it under wraps in order to make friends and blend in as a regular student. However, Wilhelm's family always comes first for him, and he finds his father's plans for him in the future to be his primary objective.
