“We will take you to The-really-surprisingly-safe-castle,” said Lord Mungus.
“Wait, what’s wrong with the castle?” Maiden Su’Gnoma said.
“Nothing wrong with it,” Mungus replied. “It’s really quite safe.”
“It’s just…” Su said. “The name The-really-surprisingly-safe-castle seems a little specific, like they’re trying to hide the fact that it’s not very safe.”
“Su, it is a very safe castle. Built on bedrock by Retsopmi the Mage and hand enchanted stone by stone with spells of protection and shielding.”
“Then why call it The-really-surprisingly-safe-castle?” Su said. “Why not ‘Fort Impregnible’ or something?”
“Because Retsopmi the Mage was really bad at naming things!” Mungus snapped. “He named his ultimate magic wand the Very-powerful-spell-stick! Now are we going to the castle or are we going to wait for another wave of abductor harpies?”
