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.

queen
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.
It's quite alright. What are you doing here then? I'm simply studying away from the noise and bustle of the university, your majesty. That is fair. I sort of wish that I got the opportunity to go to university. But my queen, you must see so much in your day, it must be like going to school! Maybe so, but nothing quite beats the feeling of academia. And nothing quite beats your ah...your beauty, your majesty. I also come here to watch you... Ohh, well that is very flattering. My queen, you are far too young to be married to a man so old.... Ahh but alas, I am bound to that man for the rest of my life... Perhaps...this...will change your mind. That is so sweet, but if I gave you a chance it would ruin my life... unless we ran away together. I could teach you everything you needed to know, at least about plants.
