Awesome! If you're threading out any of infiltration, feel free to observe:
— the inanimate servants (candelabra, clocks, an armoire) who try to intercede seem quite fearful, with the clock trying to talk the group out of snooping

— the barrier of electricity (closer to a low-key zapping current) is not highly powerful, but artfully stabilised magic (assuming any of the characters are sufficiently adept at sorcery to tell the difference)

— inside, the bedroom is not terribly unlike the ones offered out to the party — and just like those quarters, it lacks any real personal effects, despite Julien presumably living here long-term. There is one notable exception (which you cannot steal, before you ask): a single golden rose, resembling the ones in the prince's tower, kept in a glass dome. This rose stays golden.

— another discrepant item is an old, worn-in cloak that has clearly seen better days — a far humbler alternative to the carefully adorned and rich clothes Julien wears now.

— there are a handful of old letters from someone professing profound love and adoration for Julien, begging for but a glance and accusing Julien of withholding his affection and regard aloofly. If the team later finds the prince's notebook, they'll be able to tell it's his handwriting.
