The Next Prince Episode 13: Recap and Preview
Episode 12 detonated like a landmine: The archery competition—Khanin’s desperate bid to reform Emmalay—was ambushed by Prince Wasim’s rebellion. In jaw-dropping scenes, Wasim exposed the King’s lethal negligence in his wife’s mining-related death and implicated him in Charan’s mother’s murder. A gunshot echoed, the King collapsed, and Chakri took a bullet shielding Charan and Khanin. As medics rushed both royals to surgery, Charan’s escape plan to Devin crumbled.
Episode 13’s preview hints at three explosive threads:
- Khanin’s leadership test: With his father returned and the throne vulnerable, Khanin must choose between escape or claiming his destiny.
- Wasim’s endgame: Will his coup succeed, or will royal guards intervene?
- Chakri’s fate: If the King’s protector dies, Charan’s alliance with Khanin could ignite civil war.
Insiders from production studio Mandee Work suggest unresolved romantic tensions between Khanin and Charan will climax amid the chaos, satisfying BL fans’ demand for emotional payoff.
