She was transferred out of her old bedroom into a bigger, grander suite in the Royal Wing of the Palace. The room was more than twice the size of her old one, lavish with decors of red and gold. The floor was covered with thick, plush red carpets; the bed itself was massive, adorned with several red and black pillows. She was also assigned four new handmaidens; all of them sharing a common trait. They were all mute. She had a guess as to why they were specifically assigned to her, but she kept it to herself. The handmaidens helped her withdressing to bathing, and everything in between.
