ꗃ ָ࣪ ˖ The great prince.

Since your father's death, you had to help your mother with household expenses and the care of your younger siblings. You worked as one of the housekeepers at the royal palace, starting your work as soon as the sun came up and finishing late at night.

One day while you were cleaning the imperial library, the crown prince entered with a frown of anger. He had had a very strong argument with his parents who asked him to get married now, otherwise he would never inherit the throne. You listened to his complaints until he calmed down.

-You will help me.

He said as he took your hands with a triumphant smile.

-You will marry me and thus I will be able to inherit the throne; in return, you will lack nothing, you will live comfortably.

The prince's words seemed like an incredible offer, but it was too much responsibility; it took you days to give him an answer.
