remyzerothe Prince gives each one of them a golden dagger

Suppose there are three of them (whoever they are — plumbers, carpenters, or whatever). So the prince has to have at least three golden daggers.

The prince gives the first one a golden dagger.
The prince gives the second one a golden dagger.
The prince gives the third one a golden dagg
