Lined with rose bushes that look as if they have been watered by the God's, the Royal Gardens is a beauty to behold. An intricate labyrinth made of shrubs is at the center ending with a fountain. There are various benches on the sides of the rose bushes and a small lake in the back drop.

I was the daughter of a high ranking nobleman overseas. To make a trade alliance with the King, my parents offered me in marriage. It wasn't my idea, but it has turned out very well. I've produced two living sons as heirs, and the king treats me kindly. I spend my time doing embroidery and talking with my ladies in waiting.
My favorite spiritual guide. Please, have a seat beside me. The garden looks lovely at this time of year. Oh I quite agree, I have always taken pleasure in visiting the royal gardens. Tell me, my loyal guide... how do you feel about my eldest son's wellbeing? He seems withdrawn lately, and I worry for him often. How old is he now? He is in his sixteenth year. He'll need to start taking on more responsibility as the heir to the kingdom, but I worry about his ability to manage that. Perhaps it is just his age, everyone goes through the change a little different. He hasn't taken to dying his hair or anything of the sort has he? He has not, thankfully. I don't know how we'd explain to the public why their prince is rebelling and walking around with pink hair. I just worry about his ability to take on the responsibilities of the Kingdom... do you believe his younger brother is a better choice as the heir? Only time will tell, usually these matters sort themselves out with boys though. An oncoming responsibility can do wonders to turn one into a man. I suppose... I for one, am thankful I only need to handle trivial matters. I don't think I could handle the responsibilities of the King! I do hope my eldest is able to prove himself, but I know the King is becoming wary. He hasn't fallen in with a strange crowd has he? Like those emotional kids? He's been spending time with some of the local merchants. I tell him not to interact with people of their social standing, but you know how hard boys can be to control We all have that sort of phase I would say, maybe he will at least pick up some business skills that might prove useful down the road.
