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

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.
Good evening! Do you have any paintings that have caused more trouble than mine? Good evening. What has you in the Castle Maid's room?  Why do you speak of trouble made by yourself? I am in the maid's room because I am trying to find comfort. My dear wife does not wish me to return home to her and my children after my 4 years being in the dungeon. You do not know who I am?  What a sad life you speak of.  No, I have never seen you before.  Why does that painting that you are working on look like one that used to be in the castle hallway? I am no longer working on it. I made it for the king of his then bride and now wife. He was horribly angered that I portrayed her so beautifully.  Back off...why do you attack me so?  I don't believe you. I think I have found the counterfeit painter who has been replacing the King's priceless pieces.  You shall not get away with it! You have got it all wrong! Don't throw me in the dungeon again. This horrid maid has been hoarding all the paintings. I just came to see her in a moment of weakness looking for some comfort in the flesh.  To avoid me piercing you with my sword, you will show me where these paintings are hidden.  I will have you restored to your former glory as royal painter. Look under her bed. She has two mattresses to conceal them. Don't ask me how I know the details of her mattresses.  How could she keep them in her mattresses?  Is this some ruse to try and attack me again? Not a ruse at all. The bed is up high with an area under them for storage of these paintings. She is a smart lady.  I will check them while you stay put in your place.  Once proven, I will arrest her at once.
