The Royal Gardens

We nod respectfully in understanding, which makes Roland laugh again, as though it's funny. "Yes, yes, alright. Don't let that temper ruin your day, Leo. I'm sure you've got more important duties to attend to than to berate me."

Once we're out of earshot, Roland turns his attention to Lucas. "So then. Where in this palace is the key?"

Lucas gives a sheepish smile. "My map's not that pin-point. I know it's in here somewhere, though."
