"If more women start taking up responsibilities in this Kingdom then progress is not far away." King Ophire's hopeful mutter echoed in the silent Throne room.
Raylene blushed when her efforts were being appreciated by the King himself.
If she had never reunited with her maiden family then she would not have heard about her deceased mother's dream when she was still alive.
Thanks to that revelation, she had begun actively involving herself in matters related to their family's well-being and helping out in every way that she could.
While it was true that her husband had not involved her in decisions made for their family in the past, this was so because she had been timid and submissive, believing that this was how women ought to behave.
However, those beliefs changed after watching her daughter strive to be better and furthermore upon hearing about her parent's past.
