“Many thanks. Nevertheless, I have no desire to lead you astray; when it comes to charm, you are thinking of fairy tale princes, not fairy tale kings. Princes have nothing more to do than gallivant around kingdoms, wooing women, and drinking wine. Kings, on the other hand, are forced to spend their time in serious pursuits, like raising taxes, maintaining order, and kicking unruly citizens into swamps. It sours our temperament somewhat.”
