The main foyer is massive. A grand staircase sits to the back of the foyer leading to the upstairs. At the front of the foyer stand two servants ready to help anyone who comes to visit. To the left of the room there is a doorway leading into a corridor. To the right there is a door leading to another corridor for the King's servants. At the foot of the stairs there is a bearskin rug that is staring at you almost as if still hungry. The walls are lined with portraits of the king and his family.

I am a king of the whole empire. I give rules and pursuit them. I am brave and fearless.
Good morning, servant. What visitors do I have this morning? None so far, my lord. However, your daughter was looking for you. What did she need from me? I hope it's not about that pauper suitor again. I couldn't quite understand her, as she was talking so extremely fast, but it was something about a boy and a "date". She does talk rapidly, doesn't she. Did she say if she would leave that castle walls? Yes, it seems she will be travelling by horseback to the nearest kingdom tonight. Did she take her compliment of guards at least? Or do I have to send out search parties like last time?  I think it will be fine this time, my lord. She was accompanied by four royal guards when she was getting prepared. Well at least she sees reason sometimes. And my guards should make sure she doesn't wander off. Please send in my cupbearer. I could use a spot of wine after thinking of my daughter's marriage prospects. Yes, right away my lord.  Excellent. A dark red should suffice. Has anyone else come to court today? No, another quiet Saturday as usual, I suppose. Things aren't as busy as they used to be.
