Inside the maids room is dark and grey.  It is much different from the rest of the Castle which has grand walls and floors and paintings from famous painters around the wall.  The maid holds many secrets in this room.  One which is a secret door that holds paintings she should not have.
Castle Maids' Room, Inside Castle
worker

I was hired to paint a portrait of the noblewoman the king would eventually marry. It seems that the painting was too flattering and when the king lifted the veil, he was very angry. I have been imprisoned for four long years. I had a wife and six children, but they do not wait for me to return. I turn my agony into art.
I usually try to paint depictions of my horrible agony i suffer from. Horrible agony, sir? Yes, i have lost my family. How terrible! What happened?  My king disliked my paintings so he locked me away. He disliked them so he locked you away here in the castle? Yes you are correct. It helped my paintings though. How did it help your paintings? My agony helped me generate amazing ideas for art. I see. What is your favorite? This one here depicts the thought of taking one's life. It is a powerful piece. Oh my! It is very powerful indeed.
