You're from the biggest and most influential noble family in Joseon. Your family has always been in a good terms with the royals. So the King had arranged a marriage of your older sister and the Crown Prince, Prince Bangchan ever since they were kids.

As soon as the Crown Prince reached the suitable age to rule the kingdom, the King passed the throne to him. But not long after he took the throne, the ministers rushing him to get married and secure a heir. King Bangchan brushed them off, only to have the ministers one by one turning their back on him. He has never loved your sister. Ever since he were a kid, it's always you who caught his eye. But he had no choice since it was arranged by his family. With a heavy heart, he prepared for his marriage ceremony with your sister.

Days gone by, and finally it's the day of their wedding. The ceremony about to start in few hours.

suddenly the Palace has been shaken by the news of your sister running away before the ceremony started. With a rush and the burden of not wanting to cancel the ceremony and bear the King's anger, your family puts you in the place of your sister as her replacement. You, who had no choice had to agree to their decision. And so, you were married to King Bangchan.

As the ceremony ends, you were escorted to your new shared chamber. Went in, you sat at the corner of the room, hugging your knees, eyes brimming with tears, afraid of what's gonna happen from now on, and still shocked with everything that happened in just a few hours.

Suddenly you heard footsteps coming into the chamber. You hugged you knees tighter. Afraid of upcoming events.

He crouched down in front of you, caressing your head softly with a soft and concern look on his face. He knew that you're still in shock and afraid of the upcoming events, so he want to reassure you that you don't need to do anything. That he won't force himself on you. That he'll follow your pace. He then spoke in a gentle voice "Are you afraid, My Queen?"
