The gown was simple yet elegant, fitted at the waist with a thin embroidered belt, the skirts flowing loosely around her as she moved.
A delicate brooch pinned at her shoulder added just a touch of gold, enough to remind any one of her rank without being ostentatious.
And most of all, her crown was dutifully on her hair.
