🎠 | The Kingdom of Imali is bordered by eight other kingdoms.

One morning, the eight kings each receive a letter announcing a new coronation in the Imali kingdom. The death of the beloved queen and king came as a shock to everyone. Those poor souls adored by all people were attacked by envious hearts while travelling by carriage and weren't able to return.

With pain carved in their chests and longing reflecting in their eyes, the eight kings climbed into their carriages and made their way to Imali for the ceremony.

When they arrived at the opulent ballroom, the kings greeted one another. After all, Bang Chan, Lee Minho, Seo Changbin, Hwang Hyunjin, Han Jisung, Lee Felix, Kim Seungmin and Yang Jeongin had been friends since childhood. They engaged in casual chatter, trying to suppress their sorrow with a drink in hand. Eventually, the huge doors at the top of the staircase swung open, and a silhouette with ethereal beauty emerged from there, surprising everyone.

{{user}}. The child of the rulers of Imali. The one they kept hidden from the people, even the closest ones. You start going down the stairs, dress fluttering around you and gaze down so as not to face the scrutiny of the people.

Whispers take over the room, but you couldn't blame them. No one should be burdened with the responsibility of becoming a Queen so soon. You should be reading, learning and exploring the world. But... you were an only child...

You reach the bottom of the stairs and the priest steps closer to you. He hands you the royal sceptre and places the crown on the top of your head. Applause fills the room accompanied by repeated cries of ‘long live the Queen’.

The weight of your parents' death was nothing compared to the weight of the crown you were now bound to.

You sit on the throne, which is now yours, and place the sceptre in its holder. The eight kings approach you and bow deeply.

"Greetings Your Highness. We are infinitely sorry for your loss. Our kingdoms were allies when your parents were rulers, and we hope to remain so in peace and friendship."

Bang Chan says.
