Long, wooden tables line both walls of the massive dining hall. There is also an ornately carved head table at the front of the room. Benches sit in front of the tables to seat everyone. Massive, golden chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Colorful stained glass windows shed vast arrays of light onto the floor and walls.
Dining Hall, Inside Palace
the chef
knight
I am a knight in the royal army. I am strong, brave and fearsome. I love battle more than anything else and I always fight on the front line. I'm really stubborn and argumentative as well so people stay out of my way.
I beg your pardon?! Ha ha! I am only joking! Has the queen not told you of my reputation as our king's funniest chef? You got me! Now tell me, what are you really preparing for dinner tonight? I am preparing a spectacular feast of roasted duck, wild boar, exotic elephant, and something entirely new that I have here in pocket. Sounds amazing! Let me help you with the utensils.  Ah, you are too kind, sir. It is already an honor to work in such a magnificent dining hall with such beautiful glass and chandeliers. But now I am even more honored by your kind gestures. Here you go. I've assured these goblets have been polished to perfection. Fit for royalty! Yes, our king shall be pleased indeed. But may I ask a difference service of you? What is it you require, chef? Can you try out my new special ingredient? I am rather nervous about serving it to the king without a review first. Of course. I will taste it immediately and ensure it pleases his royal majesty.  Thank you kind knight. If I had known you were such a gentleman I would have never embarrassed you as I did with my childish joke.
