At any rate, we're due for another Beautiful People post, so I nabbed one of these ridiculous fellows to play along.
Prince Allan Eberhard Swashbucklerof the House of the Buckling Swash,Heir to the Throne of the Kingdom of Nightfallin the Land of Faraway,who killed a dragon.
What is your biggest accomplishment?
I killed a dragon when I was ten. Then I got bored.
What is your strongest childhood memory?
After I got bored, I ate some of the dragon. Then I got sick (still boring).
What is your favorite food?
Not dragon.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I believe in swooning at first sight; that seems to be the fashion around here for girls when a Prince is nearby. I've tried to tell my liege-Father the Court Physicians are turning them all into ninnies with some tonic or other (if a girl can swoon, she'll swallow anything) but he didn't think that was very funny.
What kind of home do you live in?
I live in a castle. You know: guards, turrets, rooms of treasure, swooning maidens - the whole shebang. But I suspect my home will shortly be an insane asylum. Give it a few years.
What do you like to wear?
Oh, you know, PRINCELY garb. The choking effusion of lace about the neck is my personal favorite, though the gilded pantaloons run a close second.
What would you do if you discovered you were dying?
A dying prince, I'm told, is very bad for a kingdom's economy. That thought alone would bleaken my deathbed with sorrow, I'm sure. I should probably write poems about it all.
What kind of holidays or traditions do you celebrate?
Quite a few: the Feast of the Glass Slipper, the Nap of a Thousand Hours, the Beastly Ball... but those are only my favorites. I would mention many more, each more horrendous than the last, if my head didn't hurt.
What do the other characters have to say about you?
Only good things. Didn't I mention I'm a Prince?
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Make it a little less complicated for a villain to own a weapon. This place would be much more exciting if its villains could spend less time on paperwork and more time pillaging and plundering. It's very hard to pillage and plunder unarmed - only slightly more difficult than filling out paperwork when you can't spell properly.
And I'm still bored.
Okay, that honestly made me nearly die from laughter! He is terribly amusing for being soooo bored. Really, he is!
Thank you so much for sharing his interview. Have a lovely day.

Upon my SOUL, this is too much. What a cool, admitting prig! Somehow his frankness about the whole Princely Thing makes him lovable where, if he had tried to deny it, he would have been abhorrent. What a joke. ^.^ Thank you for this treat.
Hey Anna!
I just wanted to let you know that you've been awarded the Lovely Blog Award on my blog if you'd like to head over there and pick it up. =)
God bless,
Tessa
