“Public Health,” in Wild Strawberries (2023)

“As he descended the tower’s spiraling stairwell, the prince glimpsed through windows all that he’d inherit: the village with its men who could rapidly fashion weapons for him and ladies who would gladly dance for him; the farmlands with their patches of corn, bulls, and barley; the forest with its weird creatures to be tamed or speared. Yet tonight the prince cared more about the mysterious man in the moat than his future as king.”
