There is a large marbled floor with ornate inlay-ed floor decorations.  The ceiling is tall and also ornately decorated with beautiful plaster decorations that touches by gold lining.  The space is high and well lit with many windows but has a dark musky smell.

I spread gossip throughout the kingdom. I wear the finest of clothes. I am always protected from the outcomes of my villainy.
Thank you for inviting me to your Royal Ball! I am delighted to represent my family with our royal coat of arms. Cousin Frederick!  So very nice to see you!  Are you here for my upcoming nuptials? I am indeed! It's going to be quite the celebration. I had no idea the Princess was ready for marriage at just 14 years of age! It is to broker peace with the neighbouring village - and it was either me or Matilda, and Matilda eats mud!  That would have been a diplomatic incident! Indeed, indeed. I didn't realize the mud eating had continued. I thought it had resolved itself after she came across that rather large family of worms. I am sad to report that she at the worms as well - none were spared the doom of her gaping maw. Oh dear! Let's just hope the worms passed through without incident. She's a mouth chewer though, so you can imagine the sight that greeted all who came across her . . . Before you continue and I become ill, I must give you this key. It's to the royal treasure chest. You may wear and keep anything you desire for the wedding. Oh my, thank you ever so much!  I think I shall choose the dragon's egg - imagine, soaring the clouds on your very own flying scorch-beast! It shall be a fanciful experience I am sure!  Though, the Reliquary of Saint Dwyfed would be another interesting choice, don't you think?
