From what I've gather it seems Cornell was the Prince subordinate/follower. I think him being part of the revolutionist was also part of the Prince's plan. This was confirmed in the last chapter when the Prince mentioned to Cornell in a flashback that what he can do as a ruler is to just go with the current (revolution) for the est bloodshed (for his people).
This does put into perspective why Cornell was so pissed when Jean went to him and asked for his help in taking the Prince away from the city. He was pissed because for 10 years, the prince has helped and sacrificed for the revolution and Jean was throwing it all away.
Guys pls helpp, I’m so confused what happened between the Prince and Cornell? And when did they meet?
