Meanwhile, Oriana strolled through the garden alongside Queen Julien, who took the opportunity to discuss the responsibilities Oriana would assume starting that day.
"Today, I have invited the ladies from noble families. You shall join me," Julien announced.
"Yes, mother."
"These women are not to be underestimated. Unseen by others, they could either become troublesome or our strongest allies. It's within our power to shape which outcome will prevail. Remember, politics isn't solely the domain of men; we too must play our part. By influencing these women, we can manage various situations indirectly through their husbands, who will be handled by our men. We must be clever in our approach..." Julien continued to explain, concluding with, "I have watched you interact, Oriana, and I can tell you are versed in handling people, so I do not have to worry about you."
