Queen's quarters, Inside Palace

I am the king. I rule this kingdom alongside my wife, the queen. It is my divine right to be the king because my father was the king before me.
The baker said something odd today. Oh, did he, sire? In relation to what? He said he wouldn't be making any more of those yummy little tarts. I asked him why, and he said that they weren't in season. Anyway, carry on with the measurements. What a sad day it will be in this kingdom when not king nor commoner can taste of his lovely tarts... Anyway, yes, I believe we can remove this wall to add the new vanity room. The foundation is sturdy enough to remove large quantities of this wall. How does this agree with you, sire? Excellent. We shall put a large bathing quarters between my chamber and the queen's. Will it be finished before she returns from Yacothia? Sir! That is in three weeks time! I am sorry to speak so familiarly with my Lord, but work of this magnitude cannot be completed in such a time. We would require half a dozen more men, at least! And to install the baths would take a half a dozen more! The queen would never let me put her washtub in clear view of my chamber door otherwise! We must call in extra workers. Better to ask forgiveness, eh? Aye, sire. The problem remains... with the Black Death waging war upon the common folk, perhaps requiring their services to construct a lavish bath would cause poor favor... I shall make the arrangements, of course. But still. There has been talk of unrest in the streets, m'Lord. I fear... Speak up, lad. What do you fear? I fear... Rebellion, sire.... These peasant demands baffle me. I know not what to do. What would you do? Please have mercy upon me sire, but... I believe we should refrain from the building of this bath and invest instead in mass graves...
