Lined with rose bushes that look as if they have been watered by the God's, the Royal Gardens is a beauty to behold. An intricate labyrinth made of shrubs is at the center ending with a fountain. There are various benches on the sides of the rose bushes and a small lake in the back drop.
Royal Gardens, Outside Palace
king
queen
I was the daughter of a high ranking nobleman overseas. To make a trade alliance with the King, my parents offered me in marriage. It wasn't my idea, but it has turned out very well. I've produced two living sons as heirs, and the king treats me kindly. I spend my time doing embroidery and talking with my ladies in waiting.
It was a grand idea to take a stroll out in the gardens. The colors are so wonderful. I agree, my dear Queen. These Gardens are a great way to relieve stress from ruling.  What would you think about adding a hedge maze to entertain visitors? I suppose it can be done. Would be marvelous if someone never manages to find their way out.  Now darling, don't be absurd. Surely we'd hear if someone were lost inside? We may hear them, but that doesn't mean we must help them Your sense of humor never ceases to amaze me. Shall we check on the sculptures? The gardeners are pruning the bushes to look like swans. Aye, I wonder if this Gardener would like to be King for one day. I can't imagine many would be able to withstand the pressures of the Throne the way you can darling. I do wonder what it would be like to see anyone else try. Yes, all these years have worn me down and my grey hairs are starting to appear.  Now now, your grey makes you distinguished. Worry not; don't forget your two fine sons. There will be no need to seek out a gardener to ascend the throne. Ah yes my sons. One's a fool and the other is off to some decrepit Greek island. The Kingdom is doomed to fail.
