The room is dark and the air is still. There are large barrels of wine from various decades. The corners are spotted with cobwebs.
The Bottlery, Inside Castle
king
merchant
I sell and trade items to earn money. I am not royalty. I live in villages and can travel far distances.
Oh my, what happened to the Bottlery?  When I was last hear many decades ago it was a thriving manufactory. It's workers when on strike when the old king did them wrong. I now use this to store my finest wine. Say, what brings you here? Well, I was here to pick up a wine shipment.  I was told there would be a crate ready?  I travel through many lands with my caravans, the circuit takes nearly three decades.  I doubt I shall ever return, but my son shall thirty years hence. And who sent you? I cannot just give this wine to someone who claims to be sent! This wine is valuable.  The King's Vinter?  I'm assuming you are the King of these lands? I am indeed. I have multiple people pass here a day to take a crate or just a small jug of wine. People try to break in here all the time.  Well, this should have all the proper documentation. It indeed does. I am pleased to have you here. This wine came from a vineyard raised by the finest royals. When our country was attacked, they took our precious vineyard away. This is all the wine standing from that vineyard.  My goodness!  Who was it that attacked you and why? The previous rulers of the kingdom over years ago when I was just a wee boy.  What a terrible foe!  How did you finally vanquish them? It was not I, but my great grandfather who put them out with his mighty army of 20,000.
