The escort of the prince.

You decide that pretending to be just peasants would be easier to achieve. Obviously you lack the tools to disguise years of untreated injuries and disfiguration; not on the spot, anyway.

So what you is to remove your more flashy clothes and bring in some dirt.
Just one little problem; nothing serious, really: the prince is not happy about going barefoot, as most peasants kids of his age do. So much, in fact, that he could lose his temper and do something funny rather than losing his moccasins. How do you feel about that?
