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.

king
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.
Servant! Where in the seven gods is the chef? We have a banquet tonight and he is missing! I've been looking for him for an hour, Your Highness! He left the kitchen a mess. No one has seen him since morning.  I don’t have time for this, the guests will be arriving in two hours! I have to get dressed. Yes, Sire. I know it's rather inconvenient. I heard the Earl of Sussex has already been spotted on his way in to town. My skills in the kitchen are inferior, but perhaps you would let me try my hand at making supper. At this point we don’t have a choice, do we?  Fantastic, Your Highness! You won't be disappointed. Let's see, we'll need roast goat, fresh vegetables, boiled greens, fruit, bread. Anything else you can think of? We will also need plenty of wine. Get the other servants to help you, we have to sit 100 important guests this evening. 100! We will need many goats, for sure! And much wine. I'll get all the servants to help. It will be a festive dinner! It sure is! We have to discuss the upcoming war tonight, this will be our last chance to feast for a good while. Have no fear, your highness. I've already alerted the other servants. They've got 10 goats being butchered right now. I've got the ovens started and my wife is making bread. Thanks, you are my most loyal servant. I will make sure to compensate you for your troubles, you know I am fair and just. I ask just one thing, Your Highness. May I please be appointed to work somewhere other than the laundry? I am allergic to the soap and sneeze every time I smell it.
