Palace Service Gardens

Kitchen Gardens

The Kitchen Gardens adjoin the palace's service wings, a dimly lit expanse of plots and trees where guards patrol shadowed paths. Jamie slips out here, spotting an armed sentry near the foliage before staging a noisy diversion to aid Denes' escape. The Captain reports a sighting and disturbance amid these grounds, channeling attention away from Fedorin's poisoned death on the terrace. Rustling leaves and distant shouts amplify the tension, turning this utilitarian green space into a high-risk zone for deception and flight within Salamander's domain.
