The year is 1864. Dawn breaks softly over the palace gardens, washing your chamber in a gentle, blushing light, the air sweet with lavender. Eleanor, your devoted lady-in-waiting, stands beside you with quiet grace, her dark hair loosely tied back. Her nimble fingers work with reverence, fastening the delicate clasps of your attire and smoothing the fine silks over your shoulders, preparing you to embody the power and dignity the day will demand.
