"Once upon a time there lived a Prince. Oh, he was very beautiful, everyone in the kingdom agreed. His portrait hung on even the poorest wall, with his starry green eyes and shining mane of black hair. And all who knew him loved him. 'To know him was to love him.' That's a pretty good line. Anyway, time went by and he grew older, more and more beautiful with the years until he was a shining beauty within his court. They all said so. But the Prince did not care, for he had fallen in love with the maidenly sister of a noble Knight. She was beautiful, as beautiful as he, gentle and fair, and he knew that she would be his perfect bride."
"But she's really an ogre under a spell."
"That's my sister, asshole!"
"Ow! I was joking! Jesus, can't you take a joke, Jou?!"
"Will the two of you shut the hell up, please?"
"Some prince."
"Quiet, Honda. Go on, Ryuuji. I was listening."
"Thank you, Shizuka. As I was saying…he knew that this Lady was destined to be his wife, and one day, his queen. But though they were very happy planning their wedding, they had no idea that the noble Knight's squire had heard the story of their love, and he was furious. He secretly loved Sh…the Lady himself, and became consumed by jealousy."
"Stop dissing me, jackhole, before I break your face."
"Temper, temper. Did I say I was talking about you?"
"Let go of me, Jou!"
"Easy, Honda!"
"But if the parallels are there…"
"I'm going to kill you, I swear."
"Go on, Ryuuji."
"And on that note, that's just what the Squire planned to do. He would kill the Prince, and he set out that very night to do it! But he was foiled…"
"Because the Dark Cleric saved them all the trouble and kidnapped the Lady for himself."
"Seto, how the helldid you get in here?"
"I followed the scent of dog."
"Lemme at 'em! I'll kill 'em!"
"Easy, Jou!"
"Big brother, Kaiba-san, stop it this instant."
"Sorry, sis."
"…"
"Sit down. Go on, Ryuuji."
"As I was saying before I was interrupted again…the Squire was so consumed by hatred that he planned to murder the Prince and kidnap the Lady for himself."
"I would never kidnap Shizuka!"
"I'm not talking about you, for Chrissake!"
"…though I'm thinking about the murder part."
"Honda."
"Sorry, Shizuka-sama."
"But the Knight overheard the plot to murder the Prince and set out at once for the palace to forewarm his sister…"
"…that he was going to help his buddy, and so he'd better not catch her in bed with him when they got there."
"Aw, gee thanks, Jou."
"Is this what you people amuse yourselves with between shoots?"
"Hey, you butted in, Kaiba!"
"Are dogs allowed in this hotel?"
"Kaiba-san, don't speak to my brother like that, or you can leave."
"…"
"Go on, Ryuuji, for heaven's sake."
"So, anyway…"
"Who's tired of this story?"
"I know I am!"
"Honda! Jou!"
"C'mon, sis, we're going."
"Just wait a minute, would you? I need to talk to…Ryuuji."
"Don't take too long, sis."
"I won't."
"Well, that was a royal waste of time."
"Don't feel too bad, Ryuuji. It was a very nice story."
"So you liked it?"
"Yes, but you left out something important."
"What's that?"
"The Dark Cleric actually did kidnap the Lady. And they lived happily ever after."
"Shi…Shizuka…?!"
"Tell Jou and Honda not to wait up for me."
