Courtyard, Outside Palace
guest
inhabitant
I'm a slave inhabitant of the palace. I was taken from my village at a young age . I will serve the king until I die  or old age.
Here, please enjoy some water. And do let me know if there is anything else I can bring you! Thank you very much! I am tired from my travels but I would love to rest in the courtyard and see the beautiful garden.  The gardener will be pleased to hear you like it. Please, rest your feet. I have little I can offer you, but as a guest you are entitled to anything of the king's that you wish. Thank you, I am refreshed now. You are so kind! That's a lovely lace handkerchief you carry. A peasant such as me could never attain such a lovely piece. Here you may have it. I have another one in my luggage. I wonder if someone might help me with that? Thank you! It might look silly on me but I will wear it with pride. Yes, please let me help with your luggage. It's so heavy! What are you carrying? Thank you! I am carrying an umbrella and an a sleeping bag, and wearing a ceremonial hat and a shoes. So wise to carry a sleeping bag. But I can assure you that you will be sleeping in the palace tonight, in a lovely down bed. That is excellent! Perhaps I can see statues of mythological figures before I retire. There is a statue right here in the Courtyard. It's over in the west corner. I'm far too ignorant to know who it is, but you may go see it. Can I direct you there now? Yes please. Let me just remove my shoes since my feet are moist and the air is nice out tonight.
