Dinner

"Um...thanks, I guess."

"A word of advice, before you go. Don't come lurking around here again, if you know what's good for you! It would be a shame if your newly pretty face were to become...damaged." he cackles.

You don't need to be told that twice, and make a hasty retreat back the way you came. You soon reach the lavishly decorated dining room. The King, seated at the head of the massive oaken table, looks at you disapprovingly as you enter and take your seat.

"You're late, Annabelline." he says crossly.

"Sorry...Daddy." you say lamely, hoping to sound convincing. You're not really sure how the princess acts around her father. It was one of the many questions that the real Annabelline failed to answer for you before she set you up for this ruse.

You eat the rest of your meal in mostly uncomfortable silence. At least the food is good. After the meal:

1. You retire to your room, as Annabelline suggested.
2. Despite the dungeonmaster's warning, you decide to risk going back down there to find out what (or who) is being kept there. You'll need a weapon and a change of clothes first, though.
3. There is a commotion outside the dining room. One of the servants bursts in. "Rejoice! The Queen has been saved!"
