The two princesses, Sophia and Elena, arrived at the palace with great fanfare. They were from neighboring kingdoms, and their fathers had arranged for them to marry Prince Lee.
Prince Lee, however, was less than enthused about the prospect of marrying either of the princesses. He found himself drawn to Princess Sophia's intelligence and kindness, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being forced into a marriage without any say in the matter.
As the days passed, Prince Lee's reluctance became increasingly apparent. The king, who had been eager to secure alliances with the neighboring kingdoms, grew frustrated with his son's lack of enthusiasm.
The proposal negotiations ultimately fell apart, and the king was furious. "How could you be so foolish, Prince Lee?" he thundered. "These marriages would have secured our kingdom's future!"
Prince Lee stood silently, his eyes downcast. He knew that he had disappointed his father, and he felt a deep sense of regret.
The king's anger was palpable, and the palace was filled with tension. It seemed that the failed proposal had put the entire kingdom in jeopardy.
It was during this chaotic time that Lord Kim, a man who owed the king a significant debt, saw an opportunity. He approached the king, bowing low. "Your Majesty, I have a proposal that might interest you," he said, his voice smooth as silk.
The king raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself. "Go on," he said, his voice gruff.
Lord Kim smiled, his eyes glinting with calculation. "I have a daughter, Young-mi," he said. "She is beautiful, intelligent, and kind. I propose that you marry her to Prince Lee, and in return, I will forgive the debt I owe you."
The king's expression changed from anger to interest. He considered Lord Kim's proposal, weighing the pros and cons.
Lord Kim's daughter, Young-mi, was a stunning beauty. She had long, dark hair and piercing brown eyes that seemed to sparkle with intelligence. Despite her family's humble circumstances, she possessed a quiet elegance that commanded attention.
Young-mi had grown up in a poor household, and her family's financial struggles had forced her to mature quickly. She was the eldest of three sisters, and she had taken on significant responsibilities in her household.
As Lord Kim proposed her to the king, Young-mi felt a mix of emotions. She knew that marrying into the royal family could secure her family's future, but she also wondered if she was ready for the challenges that came with being a princess.
The queen was not that happy with the marriage planning but what does she have to say the king was too eager with their son getting married.
What she wanted for a daughter in-law was someone from a rich family and a princess from another kingdom not a commoner .
