Prince Valium (continued)

"I'll shoot you if you move any further," you tell the prince in a low voice. "So if you want to continue living, you'd better stop right there."

Prince Valiant pauses for only a moment, then grins.

You frown. "I'm warning you." But the grin unnerves you, and when you hear the soft sound of a footfall behind you, you realize that squire could be anywhere; the squire could be right behind you, with any sort of weapon in hand. You jerk, turning around, but it isn't the squire that finally gets you; in your hesitation, the prince swiftly steps forward and unarms you with an expert swing at the gun.

Your gun flies across the room, and when you reach for it in dismay, you find yourself tackled from behind. When you lift your head to look your assailant, you see the Prince raising his sword with both hands, hilt and butt-end toward your head.

It's the last thing you see before you're knocked out cold and sent to jail.

Happy ending, buddy, but not for you.
