It's the first time I'm really going deep with descriptions. Can someone rate? This is a first draft, unedited, unaltered, virgin as pure.

The three of them left the Banquet Room not through the door that leads back to the Feasting Hall, but through the other door that leads into a spacious hallway with large windows to the outside. Although it was cold, dark and snowing as it was normal in this time of the year, they left the wing into the central courtyard and straight towards the other wing in which the revered Paramours were housed. Being dressed the way they were, they could have easily passed as famuli in case they were questioned, but that never happened, the courtyard being empty.
This wing, locally considered to be more of a palace, was easily the largest building of the entire complex. It included the labyrinthine living quarters of the Paramours and their famuli as well as many others rooms and halls of unknown purposes to the outsiders. The gardens on the other side of the building stretched as far as the eye can see with an orangerie on the western edge, an arboretum and botanical garden dedicated to the collection and display of mysterious, often alien-like plants.
The main hall behind the heavy wooden doors was of an astronomical size, heavy with details and adorned with riches from across the dominion, paintings with golden frames portraying past Paramours, beautiful and enchanting beings that looked so dangerous. From the ceiling, painted blue with cherubs dancing and playing various musical instruments the likes of which have never been seen since the creation of this painting, hanged chandeliers depicting beasts of legend and exalted blood from across the world. Like the tentacles of a giant stone cephalopod, stairs stretched into every direction stemming from the center of the room, some scrawling up the walls, some coiling around great pillars, each of them leading into different directions.
