Object
Galleia's Courtly Hair Arrangement
A meticulously styled court hairpiece crafted from woven pearl strands and gilt threads, braided into an intricate crown that frames Galleia’s face during critical moments. The arrangement incorporates delicate ivory pins etched with Atlantis’s twin serpent motif, their sharp tips hidden beneath the glossy surface as the peacock-like display conceals both status and tension. Lakis adjusts the bindings at Galleia’s command, their hands betraying uncharacteristic pressure—matching the queen’s own clenched posture as she simultaneously flexes power and masks desperation during the whispered exchange about Kronos.
