This entrance has seen better days.  The stones are a bit askew, and have lots of mosses growing on them.  But there is also a magical quality about this entrance.  It is not something you see, but rather feel.  And every now and then you can catch a shimmer out of the corner of your eye.
Entrance to castle, Outside Castle
knight
king
I am a king of the whole empire. I give rules and pursuit them. I am brave and fearless.
What are you doing just standing there? Apologies, your Royal Highness.  I hoped to forstal you before you entered the castle.  There has been... an incident.  Ah, how well do you trust that servant of yours there, m'Lord? I trust him well enough to have given a job here. Tell me what this is about knight. I'm afraid it's the Queen, sire.  I overheard her talking to someone, I apologise, I could not make out whom, sire, but they seemed on... intimate terms.  It seems she has designs to unseat you from the throne this very day, either by guile or by... poison. Very well let us take action immediately, Thank you for informing me.  Here, your Highness.  You gave this to me in honor of the Battle of Faerie Fire.  I return it to you, that you may defend yourself.  I am yours to command. Let us find the man she was speaking to. Any idea who it may be> He had on... let me think... a blue doublet.  And his hair was of flaxen golden in color.  He had a rather shrill laugh. Jeffry! It must be him he has wanted the thrown ever since I was coronated, my own brother! What!  Such deep seated treachery is not to be born!  Say the word, sir, and I shall cut him down where he stands! Leave that filth to me. It shall be my sword that strikes that fool down! Of course, my king.  And what of the queen?  Striking her down seems too quick a punishment.
