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.
Hello Lord, Why must you smell like this in my presence?? What, are you just here to collect taxes for your husband again?  No, I need a new cushion made for my throne. The one I have now is old and outdated. Well you might want to speak with a seamstress about that. I'm a lord here and have no idea how to sew.  What about these ladies here with you? Are any of them seamstresses? I will pay good money! I believe one might know how to sew. I will ask them for you. What brings you to the courtyard today? I have been in the court all day. Someone in the village was murdered and we need to find out what happened! Murdered???  Yes..you wouldn't know anything about this would you?? Absolutely not. Do you think we should search the courtyard? yes but first..whose pouch is this?? It seems very cheap for a Lord to be carrying... I don't know. One of my ladies of the castle brought it to me earlier today. Does it mean something?
