SIXTY-EIGHT
The warlord and the princess do not recognize each other!
The princess, stolen by gypsies/crows/Merlin/the childless peasant woman, will have a birthmark in an intimate location.
Not in Real Life. Or, even if she does, it doesn’t matter, because there isn’t any inheritance.
A princess has her father’s realm. A warlord has a cache of valuables.
Oh, the money in the reservoir. I think Tom intends to take that with him. The point is, the princess is in peril!
Naturally.
I arranged to have her placed under my protection.
Naturally.
And now I wait, and I’m patient, and I see what transpires, isn’t that right?
Naturally.
