Panel 1: King is angry. Maleen: I cannot and will not accept anyone else as my husband!
Panel 2: King is angry and demands a tower: Narration: Upon hearing this, her father became furious and ordered a dark tower to be built that prevented the rays of light from the sun and moon from penetrating it's walls. King: Build a dark tower! No sun or moon shall penetrate it! Now! Now!

I was just going to leave, then caught the update! I can’t wait until the next update.
Sighs the chambermaid, “What the blazes did I do?”
Have the bad luck to be in the employ of an insane king with a rebellious daughter.
Hey, at least he didn’t throw her in a dungeon. Or banish her. Or banish her then…well, I think you get the idea… ;-)
Not gonna lie, upon first glance the tower kind of looked like a male appendage. I think I’ve been spending too much time on the internet. :\
This isn’t meant to be a slight against the artist, whom I greatly respect and admire.
Towers are phallic symbols, so it’s natural you would think of a male appendage when you see one.
That is one pointy male appendage. ;)
“….build tall tower….” Rapunzel? Hmm, cool. “….seven years…” ohmygod! ohmygod! ohmygod! frejhfgkelnrignl I know this story!! Ahhhck!!!! *falls off chair*
