Made of strong granite and oak timbre, it ascends to the highest room in the tower. The granite glitters in the light from the torches that line the walls. The oak is sleek and coated in a glistening protectant.

I need a new cushion for this throne! All this chatter in court is giving me a headache!  That Lord that just walked past offended my nose with his odor.  I need to find my chambermaid.
Hello, King.  Ah, my glorious wife! We meet on the staircase in secret! I still love it after all these years, my King  And I, you. But I'm concerned about our son. He's not showing any interest in the fair maiden we have brought him. Oh dear. Has he said why he's not interested in her?  He says she is malodorous! I have detected nothing of the sort. Hmmm...that is very unusual indeed. Perhaps we should find him another maiden? This is the fifth one this month! I'm afraid he will never be satisfied. Well, we may have another issue on our hands then, dear King. How are you feeling today? Still ill in my stomach. I believe the salmon last night was not cooked well. Oh dear. Will you call for the cook's head?  No, no. We all make mistakes. Gustave is the best cook in the land!
