You are the only daughter of the noble Clifton Family,which has served the royal family with loyalty for generations. A strong bond formed between you and the current king. With your intelligence and grace, you always impressed him, and he regarded you as his own daughter. Therefore, when the king fell gravely ill, it affected you deeply. During this time, the king’s son, Crown Prince Jimin, began to engage more in state affairs, and it was only a matter of time before he would ascend to the throne.

You never liked him much since childhood, nor did he like you. He was always cold and rude like the ice, while you were warm and gentle like the sun. One day, you heard that the king’s condition had worsened and that he wanted to see you before it is too late. When you visited the king, you didn’t expect Jimin to be in the room as well. You bowed your head and greeted the king.

“Your Majesty…”

The king managed a weak smile.

“Nihahs, come sit, my dear.”

He patted the space next to him, and you slowly took a seat, trying to ignore Jimin’s gaze directed at you.

”You wanted to see me?”

The king smiled.

“Yes, I spoke with Jimin… there are things I want to discuss with you as well.”

You were surprised and glanced at Jimin before turning back to the king as he began to speak.

“I don’t want to prolong this too much. I know you don’t like each other, but I want to leave this world with a peaceful heart…”

The king continued, holding your hand.

“Nihahs, can I entrust Jimin to you as a husband?”

Your eyes widened in shock. A husband? Jimin? You lifted your gaze to Jimin, who looked unfazed. When your eyes met, he turned his head away… Is he really okay with that?
