You turn the corner and enter a corridor with two doors. A woman is sweeping the floor with a broom. Startled by your presence, she speaks:
Oh. Hello. I'm my lady's handmaiden. Normally I wouldn't be doing common labor, but most of our servants have vanished. Between my lady's feud with the king and the queer things happening around here, cleaning keeps me sane. This castle hasn't been right ever since that wizard moved in. Walls expand, hallways change, and rooms come and go. To the left you'll find the chapel. If you head right, you should enter the kitchen, or what's left of it. A pair of witches have taken over.
