Prince Valium (continued)

"Go right," you order. "Main hall."

Prince Valiant goes where you indicate, leading the way into the living areas of the castle ground. The first room you enter is the kitchen, and it's so littered with sleeping cooks and scullery maids that you find yourself stepping over people, barely hearing yourself think over their loud snores.

Suddenly, you misjudge a step and trip over someone's feet, prompting you to put out a hand for balance, and at the same moment, the squire twists away from your hold and runs to hide. The prince, immediately aware of the change in situation, spins to face you with both hands on his sword, ready to swing at you. You wonder if he even realizes that you're still a threat to him; you're still holding the gun, and you have it aimed directly at him.

It seems he doesn't because he steps closer.

What do you do?
