I am provided a special place to sleep. I may be tired after my travels. I am furnished with warm hospitality and a good meal.
Ah, what a lovely garden!  And such good care they've taken of it, too. It is the Kings wish to have a beautiful garden worshiping the Gods. It has taken me many hours to bring out the beauty. And you have done a marvelous job!  I hope the King has rewarded you handsomely for your efforts. He has indeed. Although over in this corner here... that bears a passing resemblance to nightshade.  Seems an odd choice for public courtyard. You are the first to notice, you will see why it's here soon enough, O-oh?  That sounds... a little ominous.  Who did you say you were, again? I'm just a slave inhabitant here against my will.  Is that.. but I thought slavery had been outlawed by the former King, at the beginning of his reign! I was taken as a young boy. My family doesn't even know if I'm still alive How horrible! This is truly shocking!  Perhaps I should not stay here overlong, but gather the nobles to discuss this outrage.  I cannot believe the new King would so fragrantly break with the law! No need to talk about what's going on. I will get my revenge!
