Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Page #2

---

- No, no.

No, you have some celebrating to do.

There is however, tradition.

Since you took the honor

of first assault, you owe me a gift, homage.

- A beautiful dagger.

- He delivered you the city and its princess,

- I think that's homage enough.

- I suppose it is.

First dispatches just arrived, my prince.

Wonderful news.

Your father's interrupted his prayers

in the eastern palace to join us.

No doubt to commend this

on our great victory.

We've had indications that Alamut

was arming our enemies.

Indications? You've got to have

more than indications to occupy a holy city,

with my troops!

This adventure, won't sit

with our allies!

But I suppose

you didn't take that into account.

Don't look for your uncle, boy!

The decisions and its consequences

rest with me.

I know you're eager to wear the crown.

But trust me when I tell you, you're not yet ready.

No man would know better

than you, father.

Because your trust

is something I deeply cherish.

I'll oversee the search for

weapons myself.

I vow I will not stand before you

until I hold proof for Alamut's treachery.

The third step is the hardest!

Brother!

We've uncovered signs of tunnels on the

eastern edge of the city. I'm on my way there now.

Oh, you'll miss the banquet!

You and Garsiv can handle father

in my absence.

- You do have a gift to honor him with.

- Of course.

Bis, gift!

It's been momentarily misplaced!

I knew you'd forget.

The prayer robe of Alamut's regent.

The holiest in Eastern lands,

a gift the King would appreciate.

You fought like a champion for me,

Dastan. Glad to return the favor.

A rare jewel. Present her

to the King for me this evening, Dastan.

Sure you really want another

wife, brother?

Listen to me, Dastan!

A marriage to the princess

assures me the loyalty of her people.

Unbound to us,

she's a dangerous liability.

If father doesn't approve our union,

I want you to end her life with your own hand.

So, I'm escorted by prince Dastan,

the Lion of Persia.

Must feel wonderful winning such a claim

for destroying such an innocent city.

Oh, a pleasure to meet you too, princess.

And allow me to offer,

that if punishing the enemies of my king

is a crime, then it's one I'll gladly repeat.

Then you are a true prince of Persia.

Brutal. Without honor.

Don't make the mistake

of thinking you know me, princess.

- Oh, and what more is there?

- Wait here with Her Highness.

If you can manage it.

I suggest a hint of humility

when you're presented to the King.

For your own good.

You've eased father's anger , uncle?

One day, you'll have the pleasure

of being brother to the king, Dastan.

As long as you remember your most important duty,
