I survey my surroundings. I'm in a grand room, and I don't recognize the person reflected in the mirror. Could this be the world within the book?

I hear the stern voice of a middle-aged woman. A wave of memories and emotions belonging to the owner of this body flood my mind.
I am Marie Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI of the house bourbon .
Everyone views her as a spendthrift who's only interested in dressing up and having fun.

I'm only doing my duty. His majesty will be delighted with how you look.
I realize that I'm about to see my... Marie's husband. I suddenly feel nervous.

(💭: Will he notice anything different about me? It's my first seeing him, so I'm must be careful!)
the palace is Grand and luxuriously decorated... it seems unreal.
It feels strangely familiar, even though I've never seen it before.
Feeling faint, I accidentally step on the hem of my dress and stumble. I shut my eye, bracing for the impact my fall.

Pardon me, your majesty. Please watch your step.
The man who caught me as his arm my waist. After making sure I've recovered my balance, he lets go of me and swiftly step away.

Lafayette
I must report to the king now, so I shall take my leave now. Please excuse me.
He walks away, but I still feel the warmth of his hand on my waist.
Taking his attitude and madame Deniau's tone of voice into consideration... I guess I'm not very welcome here.
Marie Antoinette
(💭: it's a Miracle that I now have the chance to experience the life of a queen. But what a dire situation to be in...)
I take a deep breath, pull up my skirt, and continue walking toward the carriage.
The corridor ahead seems incredibly long, and it ends in a huge, ornate door carved with irises.
What lies behind that door? I have no idea. But now that I become the queen, I must go on.
Marie Antoinette
