This is a warm, luxuriant-smelling kitchen, made of red brick that is cool to the touch on the perimeter. In the center of the room stands a grand fire-burning stove, which is stoked with crackling logs and white-hot flames. The perimeter of the room is lined with stone shelves, filled to bursting with pots and pans and other kitchen implements, the light of the fire shining in their reflection.

royal chef
I am the current chef of our King. I really enjoy my job. Without proper fuel our King wouldn't be able to lead us. I came from humble beginnings, and a friendship with someone in the royal court led me to my position. I would like to make food for our royalty for the rest of my days.
I see our friendly rodents have stopped by my humble kitchen again. Would you like some extra sharp cheddar perhaps? No, not a rodent. I am the royal guard. Can't you tell by my large sword and and armor? Of course, pardon me. How may I assist you?  Hmm...What smells so good. Is that cheese soup? I also smell some fresh crusty bread to soak it up with. That is a nice cheddar/broccoli soup with some nice bacon added in and the bread is fresh from the oven! Oh! That sounds so splendid. Yes, I would like some of that! Coming right up! So, what have the Royal Guards been up to this cold day? Here's your soup and bread, have a seat here by the fire Well this morning they chased me around for a bit and tried to step on my with their big ugly boot. Then While they were napping I stole their stuff! What a quick and clever fellow you are! They shall get into some royal trouble I am sure for their missing equipment. Whatever will you do with a sword, that flea bitten cat they keep outside can't be that much of a threat. Those guard will be the ones in trouble for miss placing their gear and the Kings sword to boot. hahaaha! I love payback. They were about due for it I am sure. But, surely they will come looking for it? What then? I will hide it all in the queens chambers. I'm sure both the King and Queen will get a kick out of that.
