Don't try anything, stranger. We know the king sent you to spy on our queen. He sends every adventurer this way. I trust, like the others, you'll have the good sense to stay out of our affairs. This realm of the castle is ruled over by our ladyship. If her bodyguard permits, you may see her. Otherwise, continue deeper into the castle at your own peril. Things are not right the further you go.
