RAVENNA DE VRÍES looked touched by the finger of a [Gold Saint] as she came down appareled in silk so fine it reminded Rafel of the feathers on a high Seraphim. Her gown was flawless and creeped the gilded case in lustrous emerald.
The hall of dignitaries was in thrall; of the Harcourt diamonds glittering in a flood. In a roomful of hot spectacles, Ravenna was the sun.
A sun of silver and jade.
"Distinguished Statesmen:" the Vizier of the Royal House announced in a big smile that split his face, "—hark! Her Imperial Majesty! The Dawnstar and [Redeemer], Regent of the Nine Realms, Protector of the kingdoms of Men, Keeper of the [Eternal Flame], Lady of House de Vríes, YOUR EMPYREAN EMPRESS, Queen Ravenna!!!"
The Statesmen didn't need to clap, but they did.
The present [dignitas] in the hall rivalled Olympus.
Rafel had been inside Zeus's daughter, so he sure knew what the fuck was on.
