The dining room holds a gleaming, gilded wooden table that can seat 100! There are gilded mirrors on the walls, and hundreds of candles, which are lit every night. There is a large handmade rug on the floor and tapestries lining the walls depicting past royalty.

I am the king. I rule this kingdom alongside my wife, the queen. It is my divine right to be the king because my father was the king before me.
My loyal subjects. It is such a pleasure to have you join us for the banquet this evening.   I hope you find the night full of wonder and delight. I find everything around me so beautiful and very delightful. Thank you for inviting us to this banquet. My queen demands that we treat the subject to a night of luxury on this special occasion.  It isn't every day a kingdom acquires a new district with such rich prospects for us.  We enjoy getting out and having something new and exciting to do. your queen is a fair queen. She is, and I try to rule as fairly as my father before me.  You will have to excuse her absence this evening.  She has taken ill. We hope it is nothing serious. We would not want anything to happen to her. Ah yes, my dear Queen should not have gone into the village to see her subjects in such a state.  Her doctors are attending to her, but it seems she may be with child.  Please keep this information to yourselves as this will bring danger to the throne if our rivals find out. We will not speak of it. You can trust us on that. Very good, very good.  Allow us to celebrate in her honor with lots of wine! Here! Here! To better times and better days! Royal Subject, let us eat, drink, and be merry!  To the prosperity of the Kingdom & the subjects which it serves! To good food and good wine! Your Highness!
