That Which the Prince Uttered : A Collection of Poetry & Prose: Vol. 2

As he approaches the age of 25, Prince Piérre must prepare to make the transition from prince to king, since age 25 is the year that a prince becomes king in the event that the father cannot fulfill the role. Prince Piérre?s father abandoned him twice: once as an infant and another when he was 9, thus forfeiting his rightful place as King of Qurai. One of the prince?s many prerequisites before becoming king is to survey the land within his kingdom. While he and his team were out reviewing the land, they happened upon a body of water that was restrained by a dam. The prince decided that the dam must be demolished so that the waters may flow throughout the provinces of his kingdom. In the process, he discovers that the dam and the body of water have a deeper meaning to him personally.
