Cheers erupted, her name being called out- "Aurora Aurora!" and "Ms Snapdragon!? She's ethereal!" made her blush, yet she continued to strut down the corridor, civilians moving to the side to allow her a clear walkway. The marble flooring clicked against her heels, the sound crisp and short, hand-sewn tapestries adorning the walls. The hall opened to a staircase, one to the left, one to the right. Aurora headed to the right, and at the top stood a host, behind him a chair, in it seated what Aurora guessed was the queen or some high rank. She wore a flowing royal blue dress, a silver tiara in her hands and a white sash. She flashed an enthralling smile, her eyes sparkling like morning dew.
"Ms. Snapdragon, Aurora, working under Her Highness Eleanor Bridges!"
Aurora didn't do anything but smile.
"Madam Bridges is grateful for having Ms. Snapdragon work for her, and wishes to reward her!"
The queen gave Aurora a beautiful smile to her, and motioned her over.

She eased herself a little closer, still a respectful but arms length distance away. The queen adorned her the sash, her cold fingers brushing Aurora's bare back. Eleanor smoothed down her hair and gently placed the diamond tiara atop her head.

Applause shred through the air, a smile breaking out on her lips. The queens porcelain face gave nothing of her emotions away. Aurora took careful note.

"Ms. Snapdragon, do you have any words you'd like to say to the crowd?"

Aurora panicked. She acted quick and with composure. "Yes- I do."
"I'd like to thank everyone here for encouraging me to continue my job here. I truly need thank you all, for everything."

"Is that all, Madam?"
"Yes, it is."
"We'll then move on to our epilogue, the queens gift to Aurora."
