Thanks for the comments.

Fear not, the Prince will return.  I've gotten a lot of positive reactions
to him, so I have no plans to cut him out of the story.  Unfortunately,
there are two more chapters before he comes back into the picture.
Although, I might try to re-introduce him sooner, either in a side chapter,
or by cutting back and forth between him and the main action.  I also need
to do a bit more with Duke Folquets.

You're right though, there wasn't enough done to show why everyone was so
flustered with Herold.  I will try to add more to the chapter to make up for
this.

I had been trying to keep these first few chapters as short as possible,
because really, they're just exposition.  I was afraid they would devolve in
to a long series of mini-figs just standing around and talking, which is not
the most interesting use of lego (well, depending on the dialogue, i rather
like it, but I am trying to keep it at a minimum, as it's not everyone's
favorite part of lego stories).  I see that I may have erred on the side of
too little.  I will try to keep the additions interesting, though.

great story! excellent use of simple backgrounds!

criticism: the whole thing about the prince. it pops up at the end of chap. 1
and ends shortly into chap. 2. hopefully this means its not a dead subplot,
because i don't see where its going.  also you say the prince is annoying, but
don't show us. what was he doing that was so annoying, etc? make it so we feel
the annoyance the same as the other characters.

aside from that and excellent contribution to an excellent burgeoning saga!

i look forward to more!
