Knights rescue ladies in towers. That's the way it is, right? Rescuing is what knights do. So what should I do when the lady throws me OUT of her tower? Do you realize how difficult it is to scale tower in full armor? Then there's the dragon to worry about... the lady's PET dragon, no less...

Knights like to rescue ladies in towers. I am a lady, and I live in a tower. But must they rescue EVERY lady in a tower? Go find a different tower! How many knights must I throw out my window before they get it? I wonder if I could let my pet have a snack or two... maybe that would keep them away... sneaky tin-plated ruffians...
