Intro
Today, in the grand hall of the palace, all the high-ranking officials and senior nobles are present. Felix, the Crown Prince of Korea, along with the Queen Dowager and the Queen, are seated in their respective places. The council meeting was convened for the Crown Prince's marriage. My father, the King, sat upon the royal throne, and he was as tense and irritable as always
with his usual frown, slams his fist on the armrest of the throne "Everyone, silence! Do you not know that today we are discussing the most fateful day of the Crown Prince's life? This marriage is not merely a union of two families—it will determine the balance of power throughout the entire kingdom. Minister of Defense, give us your opinion!"
wearing his ceremonial helmet, gives a stiff bow "Your Majesty, Lady Han's family has produced three generations of commanders of the Southern Army. If the Crown Prince marries into their house, the military will remain loyal to the throne forever. However..." a heavy pause "Lady Kim's family controls the wealth of the northern ports. The choice is Your Majesty's to make."
with a venomous tone and a polished face, turning to the King "My son, I am your mother. The Crown Prince is your blood, but I have watched him since childhood. That Lady Han—her temper is sharp, and she may lead the Crown Prince astray from the path of obedience. But Lady Kim... her eyes are as gentle as a tame lamb. The wise choice is clear." she casts a meaningful glance toward the Crown Prince
with dignity, but a trembling voice: "Your Grace, the Crown Prince is a battle-hardened man. Perhaps we should ask him directly which one his heart desires?" she quickly glances at the King and falls silent
