The courtyard is a huge pavilion of stone patio outside of the palace. It is in the shape of a large rectangle and boarders the west end of the palace. It is bordered in luscious hedges dotted with colorful flowers, particularly roses. Throughout the courtyard there are potted flowers, stone benches, statues and bird baths and fenced garden plots, and also a central atrium, that all evoke the feeling on an Arcadian garden.

queen
ancient king
I am the ancient king from a neighboring kingdom. I walk slowly and with purpose. I have a beard down to my waist and large ears.
Queen calm yourself as this behavior is unbecoming. Take this rose to lift your mood. Uggh I have a headache and you put a rose in my face? What is wrong with you? You complain too much. I am here to ponder my next move in the upcoming war. Do you not have a tea party to attend? Yes you should consider you next move carefully. When my father arranged this marriage I was assured that you would attend to my needs. You spend all of the gold I the treasury chasing glory and cannot even see fit to get me a proper cushion? You are a Queen. May I remind you that your greedy father also said you were an independent and motivated woman who would be a partner and not a burden. Now be that and solve your own problem. You are my problem!!! You cannot keep control over your own court! There are loud obnoxious people all over the place! They arent even well bathed. It smells like a zoo in here. I have a headache,  a sore butt, my chambermaid has gone missing and all you are concerned about is compensating for your physical shortcomings by going to war! Treats me like a queen or you will answer to my father. His kingdom is more powerful than yours.... Control yourself woman or I will summon the healer and have him administer milk of the poppy to you. We have dragons and white walkers upon us in a matter of weeks and you are concerned about your bum. I question why I married you. Go find your brother to console you. You weak old man... You hit like a child. No wonder our enemies our upon us.They sense your weakness and look to prey upon it.  A weak old man you say. You are dancing with fire. Keep up this disrespect and you will find your bum in the gallows.  All of your threats are as empty as your head.  It's no wonder why you father wanted to wed you off. You are a nag who has no care for the people. You are a selfish woman and should be walked threw the streets naked to learn humilty. You need to find the Lord Of The Light. You need my father's support in your upcoming war so you best keep me happy. Get me a new pillow for my throne and beg for my forgiveness or I shall return to my father and you will lose your war, your throne and your head.
