The mansion entrance room is very large and you can see up multiple stories. There is natural light from stained glass windows. The floors and the staircase at the far side of the room are made of fine marble. There are paintings of the baron and his family on the walls. There are ornate decorations and trinkets on tables against the wall.

I clean up after the royal family. I live in the servant's quarters on the ground floor of the castle. My wages are paid in food and shelter.
Oh, a guest! How are you today? I am good thank you. As am I, glad to hear it. What brings you to this house? I am here to see an old friend. The person that lives here? Hmm he didn't say anything about you visiting, shall I tell him to come out? Yes he will recognize me. Okay, any name i should give to him? Branston Zeal. Hmm that name sounds oddly familiar, but okay. Yes he will know me. I'll go fetch him then, would you like any water while you wait? Yes thank you.
