All right, in honor of stories, and a certain blonde, needy young lady, and the fact that I spent a great majority of my weekend being tugged from place to place, here goes.

This King was terribly handsome and clever, but he lacked in a great many things: ugliness, for one, but more importantly, he lacked in company.
