The room at the top of the stairs is a lot larger then you might imagine. It's a fully engaged library that only the king uses, for the most part. The queen does have access but is less inclined to read. Dark wood shelves cover all the walls not engaged by a door or window, of which there is only one each. Even the wall above the door as you enter is a shelf full of books of all sorts. The smell of paper and some mold (they are rather old books) permeates the air. A large overstuffed settee is faced by a short table and across from that are two matching chair. All are brown in color and look to be extremely comfortable. The walls were once stone grey in color but the shelves totally cover them. The floor is covered in a lush, brownish rug that looks and feels more like fur. There are books piled on the floor by the chair and the short table is covered with them as well. Under the window at the far end of the room is a huge desk that is covered with papers and a few books. A candle holder sets on one corner with a partially melted candle still in it.

I need a new cushion for this throne! All this chatter in court is giving me a headache!  That Lord that just walked past offended my nose with his odor.  I need to find my chambermaid.
"Ah, hello, son. Have you seen any cushions up here?" No but I found your locket in here. Here you go mother. "Oh! Thank you! I lost it a few days ago, I had no idea it was up here." Your welcome. Have you thought of any good adventure books for me to read? Do you have a favorite? "Yes, have you read Gawain and the Green Knight?" No! was the knight actually green? "Yes! He was clad all in green, with green barding on his horse." Wow! I bet he was a very brave knight. Did he fight many battles? "Well, sort of, he was the antagonist of the story." Does that mean he was a bad man mother? Who was the hero? "Gawain was the hero. And the Green Knight wasn't a bad man, no." I think I will read this book. It sounds good. What did you need the cushions for? I think there are some in the maids storage closet. I like to play in there sometimes.
