She wasn't allowed to contribute? That sounded rather... Well, Charles thought it was a little backwards and in some cases a bit too conservative. While he wasn't exactly the standard in terms of how royalty general went about doing their daily business, he and his Queen had a very prosperous kingdom and he liked to think it was their more progressive views toward allowing people to speak and be educated that helped contribute to such things. Ananya had many projects and charities she was involved in rather deeply that not only gave her great personal satisfaction, but improved the lives of the people they served as well.
The idea that this poor girl, who was now part of the royal family by marriage, was not allowed to contribute, even so much as by adding an opinion -even if it was an uneducated on, was repugnant at best. There was no way for her to learn and grow if she was not allowed to be part of things. As much as he knew he shouldn't, Charles frowned. “Is it just your father-in-law and King that does not allow you to speak, your gift aside?” He really hoped Henry was not doing the same.
