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.

the princess
I am the daughter of the king. I am third or fourth in command. I do not like the jesters.
Who goes there? It is I, princess. The maid to the queen. I am sorry to have startled you. Ohh good, what brings you here then? Well, your mother requested I water these flowers. Understandable, go right on ahead then. Thank you, princess. I shan't be long here. No no, no rush. Take your time and do it right. As you request, princess.  So what brought you here in life then, maid? It was this or a peasant's life. Besides, my mother was good friends with your mother. Huh, I had no idea. And that's fair, not everyone is lucky enough to be born with royal blood. The wheels of fate turn for us in a different way, princess.
