    It was evident she was excited about something. [omit "but"] What is was, [add comma]...

    [l/c s] she yelled in [a] high[-]pitched
     
  2. Sorry; disregard last line 

    ...[as] [l/c s] she yelled [screamed] in [with a] high[-]pitch[ed] voice.

    Ideal ruby is referred to as "pigeon blood red." consider replacing "flawless."

    ...bronze into [omit "in"] [omit "a"] bright red...

    next sentence is fragmented. suggestion: She stood up haughtily from my bed side and [verb] made her way to the door.

    ...she said coldly[replace] [add] with an icy tone.

    Move sentence, "I had known ever since..." after "She was my best friend and..."

    I was a low[-]ranked palace guard and she was a handmaiden of the [cap Q] Queen of Ycha...

    Fragmented sentence: Most of them were young like myself but... [consider breaking into 2 sentences: end @ "myself." omit "but" & cap "There..."]

    Next sent, add [,] after "today"

    Cap: ...King and Queen.

    At that sound[,] our bodies...

    Consider rewording: ...more noble in front of them. To: ...more noble in their presence.

    ...higher classed [class] citizens...

    ...ornately jewel[-]encrusted...

    ...trimmed[,] light brown hair...

    ...one of the most loved [beloved] people...

    Elaborate more on Queen's "perfect" figure & "beautiful" face (since it's a comparison to Soros, need to paint a picture in readers mind of how much more)--up to this pt I still can't picture her (Soros) in my mind.

    Also, "beautiful" is used too frequently; consider other adjectives.

    Need more description re: type of precious stones for "jeweled necklace" & furs (sable? length?)-- this is a sign of kingdom's wealth/affluence.

    Fragmented sent: ...until they finally rested on me and... instead: ...until they finally caught mine.

    "She had never looked more..." run-on sentence -- rewrite (if you need suggestions, lmk).
