[Speculation] Could Vladimir be the lonely prince that Shaco was crafted for?

Due to the recent lore revelations that Vladimir was once a prince of an unknown kingdom, is it possible that Shaco was crafted for him?

I mean, there wasn't exactly any princesses around and if Vladimir's current personality is anything to go by, it is very possible that he might've been or still is lonely.

Him being offered as a slave to serve the Darkin could be the moment that Shaco "lost his beloved charge".

It's possible that Vladimir later found Shaco when he assaulted his own father's kingdom, and that it was his Blood Magic that is the dark magic that corrupted Shaco into what he is now.

Perhaps Vladimir uses Shaco as his own personal Assassin that he sends after political opponents in Noxus?

I don't know. What are you guys thoughts on this?

I think he belonged to Amumu. Amumu is confirmed to be a Shuriman Prince, so who is to say Shaco was not a gift from a foreign national? The same curse that afflicted Amumu could very well be the same dark magic that warped Shaco. It's easy to imagine a spoiled brat Amumu pissing off some Ambassador mage who sent him Shaco (with a curse hidden within that corrupted them both).

I think the most popular theory is that the prince was the son of The Ruined King

Have they updated Shaco's lore at all? There is a lot they can do with this trope.
