The servants came to escort the royal couple to the chamber for a council meeting. Dawn was dressed in a long pale yellow silk gown, which was attached on the shoulders with gold brooches and had a golden belt in the center to hold the fabric. The gown pooled on her ankle. The thick line of gold sequins on the hem looked as if it was sending fairy dust with every step Dawn took. The servants had pleated gold threads in her hair and made her wear a lot of gold jewelry. They even insisted that she wear gold mascara and kohl, but she was already so glittery with everything golden that she was finding it garish.
As for Daryn, he had to mandatorily wear white leather pants with a white shirt with gold cufflinks. The servants who were dressing him were pretty dejected when they saw that their would-be king doesn't wear gold earrings. Hence they loaded him also with as much gold as possible.
