This is not my father's castle.

Silverbolt, where are we? I had better not been tricked into doing some ridiculous heroic mission.

Calm yourself, Prince Nataku.

I have no idea where we are, but I intend to find out.

[grumbling] Calm myself, calm myself, he says.

Good, good. Ah, monsters. Great. You can handle them, right?

Of course I can, your highness. There is no need to worry. I will defend you if need be.

Great.

I'll be over here with Vergil. [pause, before explanation] We're not getting our horse in danger.

Of course we aren't! But if a battle arises, he will assist me as need be.

We? [points at him] Yes, you, not me. Vergil is my ticket to getting away from the battle as quickly as possible.

Nataku! One must not run from battle! That sort of cowardice will not be tolerated when you are King!

What? You don't run from battle. I have to ensure that I'm going to survive to be king.

And you must also be prepared for battle situations.

I thought I had generals and knights for that.

How many times must I tell you? It will destroy moral if the men see their King retreat from any battle.

Isn't that why we send people that are not me to battle, then?

But you must visit with them on the field to keep their morale.

We have been over this, Nataku! Cease your foolishness. It's quite unbecoming for a prince.

But it's no fun.

[Recorded horse sounds]

[baby talk]

Aw.

Don't worry, Silverbolt is going to handle everything.

[pats the top of his nose in a comforting way]
