Poolbeg
Sandonia is about to be invaded and the ex-king is asked to lead the country into battle.
“It’s just for a while, until the crisis is over,” he is told. “It mightn’t even take long.”
“This is not an a la carte monarchy!” he roars. “It’s just not on!”
But when he is told the Princess might be in danger he agrees to help.
First he locks up the ministers. Then they make plans. How they deal with the crisis is a lesson to all would-be invaders – and caterers!
