The Winter Gardens' name is a bit of a misdirection - there are flowers here that bloom at many different times of the year.  It's almost the size of an entire town square, and it has almost every known flora of the Continent in it.

worms
the princess
I am the daughter of the king. I am third or fourth in command. I do not like the jesters.
Yes! Yes, worm. I do not care too much to get dirty, but if you can tell me, will you? Of courssse... but for a price... What is this price? I am carrying nothing with me. The sssssecrets I have can only be paid for with lifffffe. With life? Yours or mine?! Any human liffffe. A servant mayhaps? You want me to bring you a human life? I can not do such a thing FFFFoool! You could rule EVERYTHING with what I can offer you! I am only a Princess, and I have never taken a life before... Tis an easy task.... take this... What am I to do with it? A few drops of this, into perhaps an Ale... and the subject will be completely under your control.
