The kitchens of the tower are a giant kabob of tables and cans of herbs and various condiments. Some VERY fresh meats are found here as well. So fresh they are... well, alive. You see holding cells for various fowl and beast in a pen in the room. The smell is not very pleasant, but the food generally tastes a lot better.

maid
I am a a maid in the Queen's chambers. I dust the furniture and wash her linens daily. I envy the Queen's wealth and admire her beauty. I desire to be just like her someday. I practice my cruelty on the other maid servants in the castle.
Indeed, I can. I'm not sure why this kitchen smells so abhorrent.  It is the various fowl and beast that are in the pens in the room. It's going to be a long process to get this kitchen clean. May I suggest that we move the critters elsewhere? Perhaps, but they must be cleaned before returning in here. Clean them to prepare them for their slaughter! If I must. I just don't think it's fair I have to serve like this. I could be just as royal as the Queen. You are a maid. It is what the women in your family have always been. Why complain now? My lot in life is abominable. I hate cleaning, I hate cooking, and I hate animals.  Are you refusing this task I have given you? No, no, Your Highness. I just wish things were easier. I do not like muck and I especially hate filth. Good because you must complete this quickly. We have a dinner tonight! I'll get started right away. But I won't like it. Go! Hurry! I do not want to hear you complain anymore.
