Not much to say here. It's cute, and there's a nice moment of friendly chemistry.

What government official, when realising they need an inconspicuous spy, goes "Oh, my son will be great for that!"
This is the most ham-handed way to set up his character's story that I could think of. It would be much more convincing if it was on the prince's own initiative.

@Pokari Well, back in the day, during the middle ages, young princes WERE sent to the middle of the battlefield to fight for their countries and lead armies...so it's not that weird. If you just read some Shakespeare you'll understand how lawless those days were.
They used to be quite paranoid about loyalty and stuff, so this sort of thing did happen.

@Walter_vi_Britannia:
I was thinking more about the problem of the "inconspicuous" part. And there's a huge difference between being seen to go out and do "glorious" things, as you describe, and intentionally blackening one's reputation and ruining one's future prospects for the sake of having a minor geopolitical chess piece in the meantime...
...Nonetheless, if the king was sold to us as a natural schemer with an dark streak and a penchant for cruelty, I could totally accept it. But that's not the way it came off to me at all. It felt like a complete plot contrivance from a pretty bland wall-hanging of a "king," the shots, as a ham-handed attempt to take moral responsibility off of the shoulders of the prince.
It's totally fine if you read it differently, that's just how it came across to me. (For what it's worth, I enjoy this series overall. I just felt it broke my suspension of disbelief here.)
