But it seemed apparent that there was enough here that it certainly warranted Patricia actually going to the castle and having a look around.

And so she said, OK, let's go over.

Let's go see the castle.

A few minutes later, Patricia followed Beranger and Remy along this wooded path from the cottage over to the castle.

Even from pretty far away, the castle was huge and very intimidating.

There were two very tall round towers on either end, and in the middle was a slightly shorter section that was decorated with a bunch of turrets.

The castle only had two windows that were visible from the front where they were approaching.

And for a second, as Patricia was looking at it, she had this sort of uneasy feeling that the windows were the eyes on the castle and the castle was looking at her.

But she shook the feeling off and kept walking along.

And a few minutes later, they reached the castle's huge front door.

And at this point, Remy pulled out this huge key ring covered in keys, and he unlocked the door.

And then he kind of stepped aside and pushed it open, sort of gesturing for Patricia to make her way inside.

Now, Patricia was doing her best to be very professional and, you know, not quite buy into the hype, at least not yet.

You know, this could be something completely rational, but...

When Patricia walked into the castle, she found herself inside of this huge empty space called the Great Hall.

And the first thing she noticed was really how dark and cold it was inside.

I mean, this was a castle, of course, and so that was sort of the atmosphere you'd expect.

But this felt like eerie, like this was not a place you'd want to spend a lot of time.

And also it just felt like the atmosphere was just heavy somehow.

Like it really was just a tense place to be.
