@Nooooooooo you understimate human capability of adaptation in given circumstances. Just because your environment showed most kids act innocent at that age, doesn't mean every other kids lived innocently. Human adapt to survive, age can't determine their mental state. This foolish prince was raised and lived in environment that may harm his very existence. Yet, all he capable of was thinking the world could never betray him as it'll revolve for him forever. What a pity when he has numerous chances but waste it all.
Beautiful man was indeed a source of calamity
