A beautiful, large door at the end of the hallway. Many framed pictures of past residents and royalty are hung on the brick walls. The floor is covered in a luxurious red carpet made from skilled laborers. There are many guards at the exit door preventing people from entering and checking for suspicious people

guard
I am a guard at the royal castle.  I am brave and strong.  It is my duty to protect the king.
What are your plans after you leave, and when will you return? I uh, I was hoping I might be able to visit my family in the village this afternoon? And when will you return? Will you bring anything back with you? Oh yes, I shall return!  It has been eight years since I saw my family last, and I am sure the Master would permit me this slight indulgence. I suppose I could let you go, for a price... I could give you this rag, but I should be ever so cold without it in my cell during the winter. Perhaps you could clean my quarters tonight after you return? Oh yes, anything to see my family once more sir! Will you buy me some mead before you return? I'm sure you can find a way to have the money. Well, I could likely get a loan from my family, you know the master does not give us any wages. I expect two gold coins, or I will send you to the dungeon. Are we clear? Yes, yes sir.  I am sure me parents would not mind mortgaging the homestead to see me one last time before I die . . .
