"You can't hoard princesses!" the knights shouted.
"I don't," said the dragon. "Tima, for instance, is a farmer."
"That's not what... You keep them locked in!"
"The lock is on the inside."
"What?"
"They're not locked in. You're locked out."
"They can't do that!"
"I see why, now."

@MicroSFF If you've yet to read the Enchanted Forest Chronicles... go do that, it's five books of this taken to some fun and silly places.
@xelle @MicroSFF I love that series! So much gold. I've looked at buckets of soapy water differently ever since 😁 Not to mention those random moments in life when I wonder if I've let the cat out/turned the oven off/etc.
@xelle @MicroSFF just added this to my library hold list, thank you!
@MicroSFF for fans of this, the discworld novel Guards! guards! Might be enjoyable, where the Patrician running the city gets locked away similarly :)
