A fairly plain looking room compared to the rest of the castle.  In here are many musty shelves of books along with some scientific and writing instruments.

I am a monk in a monastery. I live a quiet life worshipping God. I work hard all day to make food for my brothers in the monastery.
Hello sir, and may they be with you! Are you looking for a particular tome? Why yes! As you know, I service the king in all things religious. He is seeking a book on the mysteries of "the great beyond". Hmm, "the great beyond." May I ask what his particular interest is with the subject? I did not delve too much into his intent, though he did mumble something about "manipulation" and "destroying his enemies". Surely there's no cause for concern though, he is our just and wise king after all! Well, I suppose if his intention is destruction, it must be against the country's enemies. Let me get that for you, then. Much appreciate my good friend! Tell me, what are those scientific instruments over there meant for? I'm not much of a scientist, but I believe they are alchemist's tools. Interesting, do you think I may borrow those from you?  The king has been complaining of, um... headaches! And I would see to it to create a tincture to absolve him of some of this pain. Certainly, are you familiar with alchemy? It has always sounded fascinating to me. I'm more experience with the divine, but how hard can it be right? If it comes together, let me know! And silly me, I forgot to hand you the book you aksed for! As yes, thank you!  And if you could, please don't feel the need to mention the alchemy tools to the king.  Let's keep this between you and me, shall we?
