The Prince Question 2

The prince's greatest ally is also his greatest enemy. The people of the land he rules are those allies and enemies. They can either make the prince or break him, which is a rather touchy subject. He has to keep the people happy because if they turn against him, his whole reign could fall apart and he could become the enemy of the people. Obviously it is a hard scale to keep balanced between his needs and the needs of the people.

In the mind of the prince, he has two things he needs to make sure stay in his favor; the thoughts of the people and the plots of the enemies. Because of the wars that were waged, the prince would need his people to go into battle. However, it seemed that every time there was nothing wrong in the land, the people needed the prince and everything was fine, but when there was a war, no one needed him and nothing went right because there was almost no one there to fight in the was. The prince needed to figure out a way to keep the people in need of him at all times. If he had no people to fight in the wars, he would surely lose the wars eventually. He also needed to keep his enemies on his side. If they were on his side, then he could get rid of his other enemies. With the ones on his side getting rid of the other enemies, then he could keep up his power within his kingdom.
