92. Tour

We get in the hallway and I look at them. "Well, this tour has been a huge success so far. Thank you Tye."

Dorseti hugs his arm. "Thank you Tye. Now we know where to get the food." Elkie nods.

He nods. "No problem."

I look down the hall. "Ok on to the next wing."

Dorseti yells. "BALLROOM WING."

I give her a funny look. "That's where we work. We know that one."

"I've never been above it."

I nod and lead us to the ballroom. "We should have a ball."

Both girls nod at me.

Tye smiles. "This should have a kitchen too. But only for use during events. It's usually out the back somewhere."

We all walk to the other side of the ballroom and we find a door off the side. We walk in and there are so many bottle of wine. I look at my cup and it's empty. I grab a bottle and try to figure it out. The girls take it and they can't get it either. Tye picks up another one and opens it. We all give him a funny look.

He shakes his head. Then refills everyone's cups.

Dorseti starts laughing. "Tye I'm really glad we brought you."

Elkie nods. "Yea, we probably would have broke them all trying to open them."

I nod and grab another bottle of wine. Then Elkie grabs one. Then we walk up to the medical area.

"Medical area people. We should all know this one." They nod and I go to my office. They follow me in and through the bookshelf. We go up a level and come out in a random unused office.

"What was this supposed to be?" Dorseti looks so confused.

I look at her. "I have no idea. I was only up here for the first time a week ago. We used them for questioning rooms. But I think they are just empty offices. Maybe they were the old advisor offices before we had that wing."

Tye comes roaming out a random office. "You should just turn it into a second floor for the medical area. Or put all the royal rooms up here. Keep them separate. And maybe put a couple actual questioning rooms somewhere."

I blink at him. "That is a good idea."

Elkie nods. "Yea, it's just wasted space now. Moving the royal rooms up here would free up a lot of space too."

I stand there nodding. "Someone needs to write this stuff down."

"Let's go get some paper from Vitchen." We all nod at Elkie.

We walk back in the medical area and steal some paper and ink. Then we refill our cups and leave an empty bottle with the door guard.

We swing through the ballroom kitchen to grab another bottle to replace it.

I lead us into a wing I have never been in. It has offices but they are used. One of them has a door open and we look in.

Elkie yanks me back out the door. "IT'S THE JEWELRY MAKER." My eyes about pop out and I run in.

There is jewelry and gems everywhere. A man is in there making what looks like a bracelet. "You make my jewelry?"

The man smiles and nods at me.

"I LOVE YOU."

Tye nearly falls over and then cracks up laughing. Elkie and Dorseti do the same thing.

Then the man cracks up laughing. "I know you love sparkly things. I've been told many times."

I nod really fast.
