      eeeeeeh, mostly stupid, but a bit understandable…
      My best friend worked in a game shop, and when it came time to shuffle management she ended up with a guy who said his skin condition just happened one day when he was moving a box, and that it would clear up in a jiffy.
      She found out later it’s a highly contagious condition that doesn’t just fade away. She never caught it, but the guy didn’t exactly make it easy to avoid; she purchased plenty of antibacterial wipes to help sanitize things after the guy touched them, and he ended up using the entire container on cleaning one desk drawer nobody ever even used XD

        Well, yeah, but this kid’s alleged skin condition is *on his head*. Unless he’s required to wash things using his scalp, it’s not exactly the same situation xD

    Most likely the king thinks the boy has mage or something. Keep in mind, a lot of diseases did roam around back then. Most likely the king would like to stay alive a few years longer.

    I’m very confused…how long was the boy away? It looks like it could have been mere days or long years. And are these not the boy’s parents, or is it some different kingdom? And wasn’t there any sort of reaction to having both the prince and the caged criminal disappear?

      Definitely a different kingdom.

      A fact of great importance later on.

      I’m pretty sure the parents feared the worst for their son.

      A lot of those answers may or may not be spoilers to some, so I won’t answer either way (you’re just best to wait until the story is done).

      But keep in mind a lot of Grimm’s stories leave a lot of loose ends. It’s just the nature of very old stories. The ones we are usually accustomed to have been modified by Disney and others to make more sense than the originals did, so you kind of have to use your imagination.

      We try to make these stories make sense, but if you sit down with the Grimm collection there are a ton of stories in there that are just baffling.

        And the Grimms even neatened up their stories. I’ve read them where the collector did not turn them into written story, but had the comments where the story teller remembered to put in a fact rather late for it, or even forgot the ending.

    Whats up, This is a excellent suommtian, I located your blog checking google for any similar subject and discovered this. I couldnt find as well a lot other tips and details on this posting, so it was good to discover this one. I’ll most likely be returning to look at many other articles which you have written an additional time.
