The dungeon is in the very most bottom room of the Palace. Many have gone down to the dungeon through the trap doors inside the palace and have never returned. Walls are covered with spider webs and bones from previous challengers to the throne. The brick dungeon is dark and mysterious.
The Dungeon, Inside Palace

a vigilant guard
I am a watchful guard of the King's castle.  My job is to be alert to dangers at all times.  I would give my life to protect the King.
Why would I do that? I seen my share of fights. And I know how to give people things they need. Do you like riches? What sort of man would I be if I were to betray my king for wealth? How well do you even understand the king? It is not necessary that I know the king well. I know that rat over there and even he thinks you're nothing but a good for nothing knave. And the king is any better? I'll be the best king you could ever think of. I will make certain you get what you deserve as well. I'll give you what you deserve here and now. You want to test my strength then? Great. But I wanted to use my wit. You attacks are like your breath. They sting a little, but they hurt you more than me. Ha. My wit will overcome. You can't let your guard down. Here, take this sword and use it on yourself.  You shouldn't be against me. We could take over this kingdom ourselves.
