The courtyard is a huge pavilion of stone patio outside of the palace. It is in the shape of a large rectangle and boarders the west end of the palace. It is bordered in luscious hedges dotted with colorful flowers, particularly roses. Throughout the courtyard there are potted flowers, stone benches, statues and bird baths and fenced garden plots, and also a central atrium, that all evoke the feeling on an Arcadian garden.

ancient king
queen
I need a new cushion for this throne! All this chatter in court is giving me a headache!  That Lord that just walked past offended my nose with his odor.  I need to find my chambermaid.
What are you doing here, my king?  I am just enjoying the beauty of the garden at this castle my queen. Care to walk with me? I would love to, my dear. I need some fresh air after being offended by the Lord's body odor.  Though the beauty of this rose pales in comparison to your own it should make up for the odor of Lord Stinky You have such a sweet tongue, my love. Roses are my favorite.  You are my favorite, sweet Queen. Tell me, what business did you have with the Lord? He was going on and on about budgets. I still have a headache!  Lucky for you we are only here but for a brief visit.  We leave to return home in a week's time. Do you think you can tolerate it? Yes, I have learned great patience over the years as queen. Before I forget, I got this gift for you my love.  Ooooh I love gifts! I'm so impatient when it comes to them, you know I cannot contain myself. What is it?? Why don't you open it and tell me if you like it?  Oh dear thank you so much! I was wanting a new mustache mug! How do you always know just what to get to surprise me?
