Prince Henry's Trobles

Here's another piece I wrote. I think the prompt was write something where a character learns something.

So here it is:

"Henry! Come down here you young man!" King Soren the 10th bellowed for his son. The young prince slid down the railing to the throne room in a mix of joy and fear, hoping his father will take it easy on him,

"You bellowed father." The young prince said calmly while gesturing this father. 

"Explain this monstrous, horrible and, conflicting trick you have caused!" The King yell has he pointed at the window to show a humongous red dragon flying over the village and breathing hot flames of terror on it, "Survivors claim it's a female and you have stolen one of her eggs!"

The prince, who obviously knows he can't talk his way out of this one, tries the old sweet and sour trick,

"Ummmm... Dad! I love what you did to your hair! Did you put honey in it or something?" He asked fearfully that he will catch him.

"Alright, you gave me the sweet, now give me the sour." The King said, knowing his son well.

"Alright... Yes, I did steal a dragon egg but, it was for good reason!" The prince said trying to counter his dad's fury.

"Alright what's this reason?" The King said as he stood up from his throne.

The young prince glanced up at the top of the stair way. The King caught it and, looked up as well. They both saw a little girl around the age 3 or 4, holding a hand stitched dragon plush, "I really want one..." She said shyly, "As a pet..."

The King looked back at his son, who was trying to hide his fear,

"Your heart is in the right place but, your mind and logic isn't." The King said softly with almost a rhythm, "I know you just want to be a good big brother but, sometime you need to apply logic and, think everything through."

"I'll get some knights and give the dragoness her egg back." The young prince stated with bravery and might. The King smiled at that and watched his son call their knights to create a plan.
