Your princess will be killed

Once upon a time, there was a prince who ruled his court along with his courtiers. He was young but his wisdom made him loved by all, the prince was very happy but then one day a tragedy struck the lands which he lived and ruled, the courtiers of his court fled with their family leaving the poor prince alone. 

' Why did they not stay with me, I thought they loved me?' The prince asked the courtier who stayed with him since he was the oldest one and did not care about his life which was already coming close to an end.

' They are humans who have their own thoughts, young prince. How can we know what goes in their heads?' The old courtier replied with a curt bow. 

The young prince who wanted to be loved by all was upset, he wanted his people to stay with him all along no matter what time and situation they were in, with his lips tightly pursed as he watched his courtiers leave one by one he suddenly thought, 'what if they don't have their own thoughts?'
