Ever since I posted earlier, I've had the sneaking suspicion that the other princes have played a little trick on him..."You wait here," they said, "Keep watch. The bad guys are coming. We'll go get help."
So he waits. And waits. As the sky darkens, he waits some more, his shield growing heavy, his sword slowly falling from its defiant position. His horse, with a disgruntled snort, tries to say "I told you so."
The bad guys haven't come. Help hasn't come. But still he waits. Because he has a job to do. He'd rather be the laughing stock than let anyone down....His determined eyes reveal all. Let his fellow princes joke (except the prince of cups, because he's feeling very sad about it all now). Let his horse sigh and snort. He'll stay there all night if he has to.
I fear I'm painting a rather bleak picture of this prince today - I don't know why. I should probably have a think about how all this relates to my day
