No, I'm not being dramatic, I decided after the events of the past few days to have the guards participate in a little training session.

It was the most pathetic thing I'd ever seen and I've seen Merlin fight (although, I suppose I should be fair and say he's been doing quite well lately...)

To top it all off it didn't even get a chance to browbeat them properly! Bloody mulitverse, every day it finds a new way to try my patience.

But not as much as the guards.

I did eventually get to browbeat them - they'll be training every day from now on until I'm satisfied they've broken the habit of sleeping on their feet.

The work of a Crown Prince is never done.
