Grand Ballroom, Inside Castle

I am a soldier for the king.  He sends us to take land and battle other kingdoms.  I will always defend my kingdom.
Are you enjoying your time tonight here? Most definitely, this ballroom is divine! I even had this suit custom made for this very occasion. Do you like it? It's really snazzy. You must be with someone special tonight to be wearing something that nice. I cannot be barred down by one person. I just dress like this because I am an individual with fine taste. Unlike that man over there wearing those hideous trousers; does he not realize that this is the most formal event of the year? Yeah. He's not the most fashionable. Some people don't dress for the occasion. Do you know many people here tonight? I know most everyone here, and all of their secrets. Nobody's dirty laundry gets past me. As long as everything stays within. I have to defend the King on a daily basis. Any bad gossip that gets out could have a negative effect on this kingdom. My job is to protect the King emotionally and physically. No need to worry about that! The King is off bounds when it comes to gossip. I may be a town crier at times, but I would never jeopardize the King's well being. We're all good then. Tonight is a night of celebration. I'm just here to oversee the event. I cannot believe the King has turned 70. This truly is a time to honor him through festivities. I know. Time flies. He's lived a grand life to this point. And hopefully this is just another chapter for him for at least another 20 years. I do have a piece of information that might help him ensure those next 20 years. Have you ever heard of the fountain of youth?
