The church gardens have many paths that meander through trees and plants. There are beautiful flowers blooming and the grass and shrubs are immaculately maintained. There are benches to rest and think, and religious statues throughout.

king
I am a king of the whole empire. I give rules and pursuit them. I am brave and fearless.
How are you doing father? Are you ready for the big day? I would like to offer up a few more prayers to God first, but besides that all is prepared Your Grace. Can you believe my daughter is getting married tomorrow? It seems like just yesterday she was born Yes it does. I remember christening the Princess ever so clearly. I hope the prince will treat her well. I hated having to force her into an arranged marriage I was going to ask if you approve of the match, Your Grace. We have to do what's best for the kingdom and if this will prevent the war then I don't know how we can do anything else unless you have an idea I hate to suggest anything radical, but perhaps you could permit them to walk together in this garden and converse before tomorrow?  Do you think that would help? I know she's willing to go through with the marriage for the good of the kingdom but I also know she's disappointed she won't be able to fall in love One never knows. I hear tell that while the prince is not very handsome, bad teeth you know, he has quite a pleasant wit.  Ugh bad teeth are the worst. I don't think I can go through with this. I love my daughter too much to force her to deal with that. We'll find another way to avoid the war or we'll just have to win it. As you will it My King. I do blame this new fad of written word, the "novel" I think they call it, for introducing this idea that a marriage should be about love. Dark Arts indeed!
