"You said you’re a princess, so you must be familiar with the structure of a castle."
“I… Right."
"What essential structures are there in a castle?"
"…What? Wait a minute.”
Thinking over the sudden question for a moment, she made a fist then began to count off her fingers one by one.
"To start with… a castle needs a room for mom and dad, no— the king and his family to stay in, and another room for receiving guests. Other essentials would be a conference room, an audience chamber or something of the like, a grand hall, a dining hall, a banquet hall, a library, a treasury, and…”
An office, basic facilities for various government agencies, other amenities for royalty, an armory, weapons storage, guard posts, soldiers’ quarters, military barracks, spires, ramparts, stables, washrooms, kitchens, food storage, servants' quarters as well as dining and living spaces, dedicated gardens and hunting grounds, and simple magic towers…
Visibly fed up with the constant stream of structures flowing from her mouth, Mattias shouted, "Stop, stop! Just one. Just the most essential thing."
As Bielli gave his words careful thought, Aveline shared, "The most essential thing? I mean, it’s not like I have a ton of experience living in a castle, but I think we’ve listed out most of the major components already."
