A Prince, Roger, looked out of his castle window high above the land and wondered what else could be out there. His father, the king, had always told him one day he would be able to explore and see whatever he wants in the land. Roger hated being patient. He loved exploring the castle and wandering around but never understood why he could not explore outside the castle property.
