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.

guard
I am one of the guards in shining armor who guards the queen, the monarch of our realm. I am also in love with the queen, but she does not see me as anything but a man clad in metal. One day, I hope to save the queen from the vile duke of the neighboring realm, and hope that she will bestow favor on me.
Stay in your corner, spider, and we'll have no problems. We don't need your poisons here ok, that's fair enough So, find any good food around here? Keeping the place clean for the queen? No really, asides the bugs that come around once in a while Dang, well, why do you stay here, then? You could probably find better food outside. Staying here is safer, I'll have less threats But you're a very large spider. Surely you can defend yourself in the wild? I'm not bothered about other spiders, I'm bothered about humans Yeah, most humans do hate spiders. They don't think about the benefits that you provide. I wish everybody thinks like you I try to be kind. I really want to impress the queen, but I kinda feel like she prefers strong, brutal types. Oh, i see, then i guess it's best to just do your best and leave the rest
