The Next Prince episode 13 sees the fencing round of the Royal Competition continue, with only Prince Khanin and Prince Ramil left competing.
The Next Prince episode 13 begins with the King telling Princess Khunita (Khanin’s mother) to secretly take Khanin to the United Kingdom without Prince Tharin, entrusting Chita (Charan’s mother) to look after them. He also promises to protect Charan and even talks about adopting him.
The series features Zee Pruk Panich as Charan, NuNew Chawarin Perdpiriyawong as Prince Khanin, Jimmy Karn Kritsanaphan as Prince Ramil, Ohm Thanakrit Chiamchunya as Paytai, Net Siraphop Manithikhun as Prince Calvin, JJ Radchapon Phornpinit as Jay, and Kris Charintip Rungthanakiat as Princess Ava.
Set in the prosperous monarchy of Emmaly—divided into four regions—the series follows a unique royal tradition: each region must send an heir to compete for the throne, with the winner’s father ascending as the next king.
The story centers on Prince Khanin of the Assavadevathin. A national fencing athlete raised far from Emmaly, Khanin was unaware of his royal lineage until danger emerged. Charan, a royal bodyguard from a family sworn to protect the royal bloodline, is tasked with bringing him back to compete and help the Assavadevathin maintain their reign.

The Next Prince Episode 13 Recap: The truth behind the death of Charan and Khanin’s mother
The bullet is successfully removed from the King, bringing him out of critical condition. Meanwhile, Khanin thanks Charan for always protecting him and brings up Prince Wasin’s claim that the King caused Charan’s mother’s death.
Charan had known the truth all along—it was Prince Wasin who was behind the assassination attempt that led to the tragic car crash. On that stormy night, Chita was driving Princess Khunita and Khanin when they were ambushed, causing the fatal accident. Thatdanai arrived shortly after and managed to save Khanin, a scene that Charan witnessed—explaining his deep hatred for the rain.
Still, Khanin continues to blame himself for what happened. Charan, however, reassures him that it was beyond anyone’s control—and that what matters now is that Khanin is alive, with him, and that he loves him.
Later on, the two visit Chakri, who is finally awake and tells them he just needs rest and already feels better.
