Atelier is once again in amazement when she enters the Queen's chamber.
Deep maroon velvet drapes line the grand canopy top. Fine lace cascades down towards a dozen embroidered pillows. The moment she steps into the room, her eyes are drawn to the bed – quite the centrepiece, gilded with flecks of gold and is no doubt fit for royalty. It is after all, the Queen's, and now it is hers.
She takes a deep breath to recover from her awe and continues looking around excitedly. The soft flooring matches the drapes and curtains. The décor – mostly gold though some are crystal – glistens under the lights. Not a single speck of dust is to be seen, as though the place is cleaned and maintained regularly even in the Queen's absence.
