Just inside the palace there is a lengthy hallway leading from the castle front.  The space is adorned with giant tapestries on the wall depicting scenes of knights performing heroic deeds.  One the floor is long plush runner carpet in a deep red color and adorned with gold trim.

I am a knight in the royal army. I am strong, brave and fearsome. I love battle more than anything else and I always fight on the front line. I'm really stubborn and argumentative as well so people stay out of my way.
What are you rascals doing around here? I was hoping to get a bath and a chance to work the door this evening. Very well... You know the way to my heart. Money! Have you been traveling? I can't wait to wash these feet! I do travel. When I wear out my welcome here I will go somewhere else and try to earn my keep.  All I ask is that you respect the property after I let you in. This is a pretty special place, after all.  Don't worry! And I clean up well. You won't recognize me after I've had my bath! If you need anything while you are here, please don't hesitate to ask me! I wonder what kinds of foods will be served here. I haven't been to a rich party in years. I know I will be working the door but I hope to grab a bite to eat later. One more thing! Try to keep those dirty feet off the carpet! It was very expensive!  Sure, no problem. Just point the way and I will tip toe around the carpet to the tub. I hope there will be bubbles! Here, give this to the bath attendant over there and they will get you all set up! Oh! Thank you so much! I won't let you down! I will make the guests feel like royalty.
