The Prince leaves one day to see what the rest of the universe is like, and visits six other asteroids (numbered from 325 to 330) each of which is inhabited by an adult who is foolish in his own way:
* The King who can "control" the stars by ordering them to do what they would anyway. He then relates this to human subjects; it is the citizen's duty to obey, but only if the king's demands are good for the citizens.
I don't know if this answers your question, but I didn't grow to love this 'children's tale' sor many years -- my best memories are of the fox and the prince:
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed"
"It is the time you have spent for your rose that makes your rose so important".

All I know is....A king lived on the first planet he visited. The king was happy to have a subject. The king demanded obedience. He tried to get the prince to stay, but the prince left, pondering the strangeness of grown-ups.
