The main castle doors are ornate. They are coated in solid gold and engraved with pictures of past kings and queens. They have huge gilded handles. They are heavy and have a faint metallic odor. They gleam in the sunlight.

knight
man
I am a man who works in the smithy. I am muscular and smell like horses. I am hard-working and fair.
Helllo sir Step aside citizen. What is your business here at the castle? I have questions! What are your questions good sir? How did you become a knight? My father was born a knight, since I was a child I trained for this. It took many years of dedication. So i guess that means they don't just hire anybody.. Oh of couse not. For guards you just need a bit of training but to be a knight its a lifetime of dedication. I do duties directly specified by the king and am the most elite in the kingdom! So you do duties for the king, are you around him often too? Only when he requests me to be. I am usually out fighting on horseback or directly defending the castle. Have you ever met him? He is a great king. I never got to meet the king. I work alot of hours at the smithy. How often are you fighting on horseback or defending the castle? I am almost always working. Its not a lot of rest but we get to retire early. At least I know that I am doing something good.
