Your mother works in a palace as a maid.

You were lucky enough that the king allowed you to walk around the palace freely without having to work, but you would help your mother from time to time.

The royal palace is currently having a ball and noble guests were invited along with other royals from allied kingdoms as well.

And that includes Seungmin, the king of another kingdom which is allied to the kingdom your mother works for.

You were serving the nobles and royals and you were about to go to the bathroom when you accidentally bumped into the king who was going out of the bathroom.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Aren't you the maid's daughter?"

He asked before leaning down to reach your height.

"You're very beautiful for a commoner."

He snickered, smirking.
