"A King's home has to be appealing, and my mother had an expansive garden on our estate on Thyferra. That's all gone now, razed to ash. This new garden is in no way a tribute to my mother, she was a dastardly woman who only saw me as a tool, not a person. She died alongside my idiotic father. No, this garden is not just a floral decoration, it also serves as a breeding ground for various herbs that my apothecaries use to create a variety of toxins." No that he mentioned it, Thalia would most likely notice how wide the path was between each bed of plants, as many of them hidden away between normal flowers were deadly killers. Kaine gave her a short tour of the gardens, before moving on directly to the chamber adjacent to the gardens, the dining hall and ball room. The dining hall itself was grand, marvelous paintings and sculptures lining each wall, a massive table fit for nearly a hundred men sat in the middle surrounded by a barrier of elegant chairs. A massive chandelier was suspended from the ceiling by thick, sturdy chains, although at this time it was devoid of candles due to the room being unused for quite some time.
The dining hall led into the ball room, which was even larger than the before mentioned hall. Exquisite mosaics lined the entirety of the dome-shaped ceiling, all of it references to the traditional lore of the Epicanthix people. The floor was polished marble, and each step sent out an echo across the cavernous chamber. An alcove in the far wall was large enough to fit an orchestra, but like everything else it was bare of any instruments or seating. "I've yet to use this chamber, but perhaps that can chance for our wedding?"
