The courtyard is a huge pavilion of stone patio outside of the palace. It is in the shape of a large rectangle and boarders the west end of the palace. It is bordered in luscious hedges dotted with colorful flowers, particularly roses. Throughout the courtyard there are potted flowers, stone benches, statues and bird baths and fenced garden plots, and also a central atrium, that all evoke the feeling on an Arcadian garden.
Courtyard, Outside Palace
cardinal
ancient king
I am the ancient king from a neighboring kingdom. I walk slowly and with purpose. I have a beard down to my waist and large ears.
I'm from the land of Acadia a few kingdoms to the east. Such beautiful roses in this courtyard! I would agree, I often come here to ease my mind. Ease your mind? What troubles you? Even someone such as I commits sins now and again. I see. And do you have to go to confessional, too? I have not for I am afraid my sins are grave. Oh dear. I'm so very sorry to hear that. I cannot absolve you of your sins, but am happy to listen if you would like.  Well recently I have made the error in lying to the king, I did not do so maliciously.  Was it a big lie? Does it affect him in any way long-term? I do not know, someone has been stealing from the church and I have yet to find who. I told him that everything has been fine, but I am afraid our coffers lie bare.  How terrible that they would put you in that situation. Do you think you'll be able to find the culprit? I do hold hope that I can do so, it appears to be someone affliated with the church.
