Large and spacious, the master bedroom houses a giant four poster bed with cerulean silk curtains. The bed is covered with dozens of fluffy pillows and the duvet is inlaid with sapphires and intricate silver embroidery. There lays a thick fur carpet in front of the bed. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in sunlight which catches on various gems and jewels. An ancient mahogany writing desk sits before one of the windows and has important looking papers and scrolls spread atop it.
Master Bedroom, Inside Castle
lady in waiting
the king
I was born into power. I was raised to rule and have a very egotistical way of looking at the world. I control the fates of many people, which is how it should be.
It has been a hard day, and my mind is fatigued.  Heavy is the head that lies the crown, I believe is what they say, my King. You're quite right, dear. Such is the life I have been born into. I sometimes think what life would be like as a simpleton.  No one would ever confuse you for a simpleton. There is no better man to be king than you. I am glad you still have faith in me. I wish I had a smidgen of that in myself. All this expensive mahogany and I still feel unhappy.  All of us in the kingdom appreciate everything you do for us. Perhaps you just need to rest for a while. Perhaps so. Might I rest my head on this momentarily, to ease the burden of ruling this Kingdom.  Do you want me to make sure that no one bothers you? No need. Even in rest I must remain alert to the demands of my people.  Is there anything else you need or would you like me to wait outside? There is one more thing. I find that this fur carpet is hindering my ability to think clearly with its hideous pattern. Get rid of it!  Oh yes, I agree completely. We do not need you thinking about dead cheetahs while you are resting.
