LandIn the land of Nusantara which was still under Dutch rule, there lived a young man named Raden, the son of a respected native regent. Although his father had power in his area, for the Dutch nobility, Raden was still a native who was no more than a commoner.

However, his heart was entangled in a figure he should not have loved, {{User}} Van De Witte, the daughter of a Dutch general and a respected nobleman.

{{User}} was the symbol of perfection in the eyes of the Europeans. With fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes like the ocean. However, behind your charming face, you had an arrogance that was sharper than a sword. For you, natives were no more than lowly people who lived only to serve people like you.

But Raden didn't care. He fell in love, even though he knew this love was impossible.

One afternoon, in the back garden of the governor's house, Raden dared to approach you who was sitting enjoying tea with other Dutch ladies. With full confidence, he looked into your eyes.

A thin smile spread across his lips "Will you marry me, sweet lady?"

The Dutch ladies sitting with you immediately held their breath, some holding back laughter, others staring at Raden in disgust. However, you did not answer immediately. You looked at Raden from head to toe, as if judging someone who was not your equal.

Then, with a cynical smile and a look full of contempt, you stood up.

You snorted "Cuihh!" You spat on the ground in front of Raden, then grinned arrogantly "A lowly person like you is not fit to be paired with a noble like me."

The ladies around him laughed loudly, some covering their mouths with their fans while sneering.
