There are plenty of roses, wilted, but still red.  A large statue of a beautiful woman stands in the middle, ivy growing around her.  She seems very kind in her expression.  It seems as though she may be buried underneath.  There is an overgrown mess of plants that form an archway that she is staring at.

I am older and wiser than others in the community. I have been alive for quite some time and have witnessed many things. I am calm, wise, and have a quiet strength.
Greetings, gardener. Is this beautiful garden your work? ofcourse it is. Welcome sire. Thank ye. Tell me, is this the statue of the queen? This is actually the old queen. The mother of the king Ah yes, queen Abigail. I recognize her now, although I was young when she ruled this kingdom. May I taste one of your vegetables? She was really a strong and brave queen. She rule the land after the demise of her husband. You can pick any vegetable of your choice. I will have one of these carrots. It is very tasty, you do a good job here! thank you sire. What brings you here? I needed some time for myself, to think things through. I am considered a sage by many but my mind is not as sharp as it once was. Instead of precipitating my advice, I wander around the castle to think things through. ooh. That is fine sire Tell me gardener, why do you not tend the plants that grow on that archway over there? Well............
