He had finally made it to the outskirts of the city, and let me tell you, he was exhausted. He'd jumped off a ship, swam until he couldn't, washed up to shore, and then immediately started walking in order to prove that he wasn't dead before they announced it to the public.
And let's just say he wasn't in the best of moods either.
So, when he ran into a guard who was patrolling, he wasn't exactly looking or acting very prince-like. Instead, he just grabbed the man, and before the guard could reach for his sword he threw the man down.
"Alright. I'm Prince Marlon, I'm not dead, and I need you to get me back to the castle now, before I collapse or something. If you don't do this, then when I do get there, I'm going to find out who you are and hold you responsible for anything that goes wrong in the meantime."
Well, at least the princely tone was still there. One had to wonder how the guard would react to supposedly dead prince ordering him around, though.
