The mansion entrance room is very large and you can see up multiple stories. There is natural light from stained glass windows. The floors and the staircase at the far side of the room are made of fine marble. There are paintings of the baron and his family on the walls. There are ornate decorations and trinkets on tables against the wall.

guest
I am provided a special place to sleep. I may be tired after my travels. I am furnished with warm hospitality and a good meal.
pardon me sir! I am a woman! I see you are a guest here! In our Kingdom, everyone is sir!  I am ashamed I have treated you this way. How can I repay you? It is no bother, you are a guest here so it was a simple misunderstanding. Perhaps humour me and tell me what brought you here? As a Butler I am in that liminal space between servants and masters so I hear all kinds of stories and I love to add to them!  Well, you see this hat? I am on a journey to the mountains of the horses to do a ceremony for my fertility. I hope to have many children someday.. Very interesting, thank you. Pray, tell what the ceremony involves?  I put this hat on as I gather pine cones and start the fire. Then I put the branches on and take a drink of the wine and start to sing. Then when I am drunk I dance around. Wow. I'll pass this to the maid. Thank you, sir. Can I try? I too would like to have many children and now I've heard this wisdom I'd like to practice? Yes, I will take you with me! It's more fun with many people. Tell the maid she can come as well. More power with many people. You can take this hat. I will make another. You hear that? We are going to join this kind fellow on a qyest to the Mountain of the Horses! What a wondrous occasion. Now try to sing. Let me hear your voice. Thank you. What kind of song?
