Patience Was Reaching Its Limit

Liz's bedchamber, a spacious room located deep within the palace.

This room was usually unused. Elsewhere, it would probably have been turned into a storage room, but in a princess's bedchamber, clutter naturally could not be piled up here, so it had been left vacant.

Liz's bedchamber had many vacant rooms like this. After all, it was an entire palace, and Liz was its only resident, so many places were naturally left empty.
