For the extent of your time here, you may go where you wish, though I make two exceptions: firstly, my daughter's - the Princess' eastern wing of the Castle is *strictly* off limits. Do not test this. Secondly, I would expect that all times you treat the Castle staff with respect. If any of them cause you issue, you bring it to my attention, and it will be dealt with, swiftly.”

"Ms Valari, I spend my days languishing in this forsaken cathedral of apathy, dealing with tedious requests from those who wish to use my power, my body or my lands for their own benefits. I promise you, it is not a life befitting sovereignty. The time will come soon where a stern word will prove not enough for Ms Dia Mond and I must handle things more personally. You shall accompany me. Until then, please, follow and... make yourself at home."
