The outside of the manor is rather imposing with a large stone building and two immense guardian sculptures on the outside depicting mythical beasts. There are also small gardens to the left and right.  The main path itself is a cobbled one that only beckons visitors if they are worthy enough.

We are the guests of the queen on the way to the banquet. I hope we fair better than the last guests. I hope we keep our heads.
I am a guest of the queen. I am here for the banquet. Ah yes. Today is the big day finally. We've been preparing all week. I shall be resting for a time. Please take me to my rooms. Absolutely. Right this way. Is there anything I can get you? A pitcher of water perhaps...traveling makes me parched. Oh does it? I've never traveled before. There is already a pitcher in the room. If you ever get the chance to go to the north there is a beautiful lake for fishing there.  I wanted to ask...is the cobblestone walkway protected by a spell?  It seemed to move under my feet. I will never get a chance to travel, but that sounds nice. I don't know what a spell is but the king had some witch do something to the cobblestone last year. That would make sense I guess...Let's get my bag upstairs. I guess. I don't really know much about anything except serving. I can take your bag for you. I bet you know more than you let on. You must hear all that goes on around here.  But I will not ask...stop looking so uncomfortable. Sorry. I didn't realize I looked that way. I just don't get to leave and hearing about the outside world is exciting.
