They'd better get used to a Menaji style of leadership, and cultural decorum.If you are going to stoop down to the level of a leader of these people, and operate within the system they have created, then you are going to do it your way. That means living physically as the way you are accustomed to, and styling yourself the way you prefer. You aren't a pharaoh and this isn't a royal theocracy, you are a noble lady of this feudal domain, with the appropriate relationship to your subjects and noble retainers. But they had best start getting used to Menaji customs and practices, because you're going to be practicing them.
If they don't like them, well then they can go back to ruin and death without you.
<span class="mu-b">"You are going to dress like that? How do you expect anyone to take you seriously?"</span>
<span class="mu-r">"People didn't take you seriously because you were the youngest son, does that seem worse to you than how much clothing I wear?"</span>
Another week or so and you're into the adjustment of this whole leadership idea. There's yet to be some official ceremony and celebration because you don't think things are at an adequate point for that yet, but in the meantime you are getting used to what it means to be in charge of these people. Although you have some experience from your own time, as wife to the conquering unifier some duties fell to you to oversee. But this is more complicated now that ultimate responsibility falls to you, and many matters and problems you can't just solve with love and beauty.
You're sure to adjust in time, thankfully having help where you need it, advisors and supporters such as Darry with other experience in these matters. Let them handle the lesser matters on the ground such as numbers and logistics, while you focus on the functionality of having a court here in Bexley. Particularly, for people to adjust to your personal tastes and cultural style, some of which doesn't go over well. Perhaps most immediately your preferred manner of dress compared to what noble ladies, and women in general of these times wear. Some deem it scandalous but from what you're used to it's perfectly modest and appropriate, and more importantly to you it maintains a foreign mystique about you. Same as your preference for redecorating the castle hall for starters, to a Menaji style. Though you may be a noble lady leading them, it should always be apparent that you are different from them, your godly nature always remembered. Otherwise they may get too comfortable and accepting of the idea that you are just another of them.
That, and it's mostly only bothering to people the higher up socially they are. The common folk don't much care how you dress or rebuild, so long as you continue to provide for them and grace them with your presence.
