The main castle doors are ornate. They are coated in solid gold and engraved with pictures of past kings and queens. They have huge gilded handles. They are heavy and have a faint metallic odor. They gleam in the sunlight.

I am a knight. I come from a lower-ranking noble family. I serve under the king, as my father did before me. In times of war, I fight on horseback.
Halt Who goes near the castle doors? Show yourself Do you remember me? You ruined my city. What are you doing here? I did not ruin your city. I am a guard and my duty is stand guard at the castle doors. You have mistaken me for someone else Not you. Your king. Now he must pay for all he's done! You need to be wary of coming to a place where you will be taken down, Perhaps you should be more aware of who you serve. He ransacked my village! Pillaged my city! You are no match for the kings army! He will have you guillotined Open these damned doors! I will get my vengeance! Where did you get this? I could use a smoke afterwards! I've had everything taken from me. I can't let you stand in my way, knight. Maybe you should calm down! Right now you are in no trouble. Smoke this cigar with me! Very well. Your king pillaged my town. Murdered my family. All over a petty land squabble. Nobody survived. How can you serve a cruel lord like him?
