Alain looked at me sideways. "Your name's Alec, huh? Ain't that the name of the King's son that wanders?" I nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, I believe it is. I wonder what kind of things he does when he's on the road. Alain, you seem to know a lot about the royal family. Have you heard what that Alec does?" "Well, I heard that he just explores the country and helps folks that need it. In fact, I reckon that he'd help a poor farmer haul a load of hay if he needed a hand. There have been stories of him giving money to poor farmers and beggars just because he can. But there are also stories that he likes to play with the ladies too. I'm sure if he were around, I'd keep a close eye that he didn't get his paws on my sis."
