While he was heading to the kitchen, the steward was sly and asked him about the decorations and what other things that they should "be more mindful of". The quotation was on purpose, because the guy practically spoke with it.
The way there was long as well because the main kitchen that served the ballrooms and the main dining hall was literally at the opposite side of the palace. This meant there were a few times he had to hear these types of inquiries, testing him.
Well, now… at least he could go around a bit! Hopefully, he'd gather clues while he was bullshitting.
The palace had some tapestries depicting family crests, battle scenes, and so on. There were some vases for decoration, but that was about it. While his peripheral vision was on the mission board, he pointed at many things in the hallway.
"You should add fresh flowers to these vases."
Then he pointed at the darker corners. "Is there a way to add more lighting in these areas?"
