In some novels, a chateau or castle as a prison can create a sense of isolation. For example, in 'The Count of Monte Cristo', the Chateau d'If is a prison where the protagonist is unjustly imprisoned. It's a desolate and forbidding place that heightens the sense of his entrapment and the cruelty of his situation. The castle - like prison also adds a touch of mystery and historical depth to the story.
Well, without having read the entire novel in detail, it could be things like hidden magic, undisclosed relationships among the characters, or perhaps long - forgotten histories within the story's world.
In the 'secrets of happiness novel', one secret could be strong relationships. Characters who have deep and meaningful connections with others seem to be happier. They support each other through tough times and share joys.
