113-Armenian folklore: Occupational Hazard

The prince is having a bad day...because the prince is having a great day. His life is just too easy. Too awesome. He is suffering from too much luxury. It's definitely not because he's into a girl who doesn't like him back. Nope. Not at all. Ok, it totally is. But don't tell his mom.

The creature this week is a homicidal sea monster baby, because sure.
