Ariana walked silently through the hallway, just as Leah arrived. Upon seeing her, Leah bowed respectfully and said,
"Queen Ariana, may I put this on you?"
Ariana gave a small nod, and Leah stepped forward, gently placing a creamy hat atop her head. It matched her gown perfectly. Once she was done with the hat, she helped Ariana slip on her gloves.
Now fully dressed, Ariana was ready.
"This way, Queen Ariana," Leah said, gesturing ahead. "Two people have already arrived. One more is expected any minute now."
Ariana gave a simple nod, and the two continued walking through the hallway. As they reached the main area, they entered through a garden path. The wind gently blew, and the noon sun blazed overhead. It was harsh, as expected at that hour, but thanks to the hat, it didn't bother Ariana much.
