You can’t rescue the princess, but you can borrow her.
…good enough.
Ill get her back in 3 minutes
That just means you designed your castle unsafely.
"Alright, but you better be outside of a properly locked up and OSHA-compliant castle with the princess by the time I get back, or I'm not compiling"
And then you do that, but you miss a smoldering ember from one of the castles torches, and everything including the horse and princess catches fire. Next time, pick an escape plan that only requires
unsafefor the drawbridge.There's a totally safe way to do it too, I guess, but it involves building a series of replacement castles, and it's also totally ugly and sinfully slow.
