I hadn't noticed it the first time I looked in the mirror, but my face naturally looked heavily makeuped. My lips were bright pink and I always had a deep blush. A deep blue eyeshadow matched my eye color. My eyebrows were thick and my eyelashes were long and stood out.
It wasn't until we began to leave the room that ' I "remembered" that shoes weren't wore by nobles, because it implied that they would have to walk in places were feet shouldn't be bare. All carpets in all palaces were thick and plush. The queen's personal chambers were pink, and the harem area was purple. The rest of a palace was blue, and to protect the queens purity, she was varied on a litter over these areas. That's also why everyone had to wear gloves and couldn't touch any royal member without their permission. Princesses were sacred and not even allowed to leave the main palace harem area unless they were taken with their mother for instructions about the world.'
My handmaidens walked with me, one in front and the other following behind my long train. The carpets and walls were thick purple. As I saw others base by, I made a quick wish to have all of the right mannerisms and have all the memories I should have of this life. Each time I passed one in the wide ornate hallways, she would do a deep curtsy and say, "Your majesty," in a throaty voice. I made a point to smile and incline my head to each, but I was more worried about my new memories.
I had spent the first fifteen years of my life in this very palace. Then my wonderful mother, Queen Jasmine died in a brutal attack on a visit to an outlying star system. I was the third youngest queen ever, and besides being in charge of my new empire, was also in charge of my 10 year old twin sisters Karyn and Sara (yes the same ones from the old world) whom I loved dearly. Wow, did I just think that. I realized my wish must even be changing the way I think to that of a high and stately noble. After a quick coronation, I divided my time between a ruthless expansion and loving care of my little sisters.
We finally came to huge white marble doors, which opened outward to reveal a huge golden litter with velvet purple seats, big enough for me and my two handmaidens, whose names I now knew were Madison and Miranda. I walked ' up purple steps and lounged on the cushions, crossing hands daintily over my chest.
