Chris looked to the next swatch, which was a deep, regal violet. "And that one's for his inner circle, right?"
Cressida inclined her head. "Yes. The House Mantle. Only those directly bound to the King, his personal council, chief officers, and select family members may wear violet in an official capacity. It represents loyalty to the person, not the state."
"Like Killian," Chris murmured, recalling the familiar color draped across the man's shoulder.
"Precisely," Serathine confirmed. "It means proximity to power and trust."
Chris' gaze shifted to the next color, a cool, sharp silver. "Then silver must be the Prime Minister."
"Correct again," Cressida said approvingly. "Silver marks the Executive Office and its affiliated ministers. It symbolizes structure, diplomacy, and state continuity, the government's balancing weight to the throne."
"So the King in gold, his people in violet, the Prime Minister in silver," Chris said, ticking them off like a list. "Who's navy?"
