After lunch, a few maids came to Emily's room to freshen her up. All afternoon, they bustled around Emily. Among them was a maid who specialized in hairdressing, and she worked with such skill and delicacy that Emily's long hair was expertly plaited into an intricate style.
The other two maids, who were busy selecting suitable gowns and jewels for the banquet, chose from among the various finery a low-cut white dress adorned with diamonds, which was both elegant and striking. There was also a maid who specialized in matching shoes to ensure that Emily's outfit was impeccable from head to toe.
Emily sat at the dresser like a doll, allowing them to dress her up. During this time, the royal steward also came to brief her on the dinner proceedings.
The royal steward informed Emily that not only would many nobles be attending the banquet tonight, but also some pack Alphas and their Lunas.
