The room at the top of the stairs is a lot larger then you might imagine. It's a fully engaged library that only the king uses, for the most part. The queen does have access but is less inclined to read. Dark wood shelves cover all the walls not engaged by a door or window, of which there is only one each. Even the wall above the door as you enter is a shelf full of books of all sorts. The smell of paper and some mold (they are rather old books) permeates the air. A large overstuffed settee is faced by a short table and across from that are two matching chair. All are brown in color and look to be extremely comfortable. The walls were once stone grey in color but the shelves totally cover them. The floor is covered in a lush, brownish rug that looks and feels more like fur. There are books piled on the floor by the chair and the short table is covered with them as well. Under the window at the far end of the room is a huge desk that is covered with papers and a few books. A candle holder sets on one corner with a partially melted candle still in it.

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.
I need a new cushion and this tray does not have the cushion I wanted for my throne  Take this you will need it. I'm the one that needs the towel, I have a headache! I'm sorry my dearest queen. My apologies. Where have you been all morning? I have been trying to find you I was lost. You should know your way around here. I know I just got so confused this morning. How did you find the attic? I walked to the top of stairs. Where is the cushion I asked for? Here  my lady is the cushion you asked for.
