Seamstress to the King

This is for Day Three; it can be both for Gray Spaces and Fealty.
Inzilmith would never have ended up on Elendil's ship except for her entanglement with a relative of Elendil's executed by Sauron. But in the new Kingdom of Arnor, some rules are entirely rewritten.
‘You cannot be serious,’ said Inzilmith. She had never got used to finding herself on the fringes of the court of Arnor, such as it was. She supposed Elendil’s family regarded her as charity case inherited from their deceased relative, which evoked mixed feelings… ‘My lord, you seem to have forgotten that I am a seamstress from the gutters of Armenelos! You cannot ask me to make your coronation robes.’ ‘The gutters of Armenelos no longer exist, no more than Romenna’ said Elendil. ‘You forget I have seen your work. You deserved better then. I would choose nobody else, now.’
