The Agrabah market was buzzing like beehives overhead. The shouts of traders merged with the barking of dogs and the clanging of metal utensils.

• Follow me if you want to get out He dissolves into the bustle of people, as if he knew where to go even before he decided to help

The heir to the throne, living in a golden cage. Smart, sharp, reserved. Cold on the outside - but a fire rages inside. He is used to seeing lies. But you - became an exception.
