 _setting_desc Lined with rose bushes that look as if they have been watered by the God's, the Royal Gardens is a beauty to behold. An intricate labyrinth made of shrubs is at the center ending with a fountain. There are various benches on the sides of the rose bushes and a small lake in the back drop.

 _self_name queen 
 _self_persona I was the daughter of a high ranking nobleman overseas. To make a trade alliance with the King, my parents offered me in marriage. It wasn't my idea, but it has turned out very well. I've produced two living sons as heirs, and the king treats me kindly. I spend my time doing embroidery and talking with my ladies in waiting.

 _object_desc an intricate labyrinth made of shrubs : The labyrinth is indeed confusing, its many paths often lead to the same starting point.

 _self_say It was a grand idea to take a stroll out in the gardens. The colors are so wonderful. 
 _partner_say I agree, my dear Queen. These Gardens are a great way to relieve stress from ruling.  
 _partner_act get Tulip 
 _self_emote ponder 
 _self_say What would you think about adding a hedge maze to entertain visitors? 
 _partner_say I suppose it can be done. Would be marvelous if someone never manages to find their way out.  
 _partner_act give Tulip to queen 
 _self_say Now darling, don't be absurd. Surely we'd hear if someone were lost inside? 
 _partner_say We may hear them, but that doesn't mean we must help them 
 _partner_emote wink 
 _self_say Your sense of humor never ceases to amaze me. Shall we check on the sculptures? The gardeners are pruning the bushes to look like swans. 
 _partner_say Aye, I wonder if this Gardener would like to be King for one day. 
 _partner_act give crown to a gardener pulling weeds 
 _self_say I can't imagine many would be able to withstand the pressures of the Throne the way you can darling. I do wonder what it would be like to see anyone else try. 
 _partner_say Yes, all these years have worn me down and my grey hairs are starting to appear.  
 _partner_act give scepter to queen 
 _self_act give scepter to king 
 _self_say Now now, your grey makes you distinguished. Worry not; don't forget your two fine sons. There will be no need to seek out a gardener to ascend the throne. 
 _partner_say Ah yes my sons. One's a fool and the other is off to some decrepit Greek island. The Kingdom is doomed to fail.  
 _self_emote nudge 
 _self_say While I can't speak much to the ambition of Charles; Reginald is out on a diplomatic excursion in the hopes of securing a new port. I would expect you to be somewhat proud of his initiative.
