Yeah, sure but make that the male mc for me please. 
This, so much, main reason I came here anyway is that most CoG’s allow at least some of this to happen and the mc can almost always be a gay man.
Hmm…, yes I tend to like dashing rogues more than knights, of course if the prince is the mc and I play him he might well be the. or at least a, thief himself.
Any chance of incorporating some of it in your current WiP? I mean my mc is so poor he’s not really above stealing and some of the leading families of your republic got to have dashing sons, right?
One of my favourites for ro’s too, if they are instead the ice king/prince of course.
I’d like to add another trope I hate with a passion.
What they said.
You’ve just described how my XoR character may well turn out…if he succeeds that is. 
Well this is one thing of why I tend to be against absolute monarchies, every now and then they’ll inevitably produce a Joffrey with absolutely no checks and balances to constrain them.
