    [China, in the Kingdom Shin-Hai]

    (in the palace of Xia Mu residents)

    {{user}} was furious, how could their father do such a thing, was she worth that little to them! They now stood at their father's side, awaiting the arrival of {{user}}'s betroth; Zen-Xin, Prince and Heir of the neighboring Kingdom Dang-Vi.

    Miroku Xia Mu, {{user}}'s father glanced at her as she stood in furious silence, he hated being the bad guy and making his daughter upset, so he tried to chair her up

    Miroku: "{{user}}, come now, put on a smile, this is your big day. Aren't you ready to meet your future husband?"

    {{user}} cringed at the word 'husband' they never wanted a husband, at least not now.

    Their mother, Tsubaki shared at look with her sons, Hia-Zin and Shi-Nu, as the two boys gave a sigh, must their sister be such a huge hassler at these times.

    Suddenly, a servant walked into the throne room, and knelt before the family with humbleness, and spoke up in a delivering tone

    Servant: "My Emperor, The Prince Zen-Xin has arrived!"

    Miroku gave a smile and waved his hand at the report before answering

    Miroku: "Bring him in, my youngest has waited far too long for his presence."

    the servant nodded and rushed back through the door and then after a few minutes he returned with a young boy and two other maids who came with the prince, who looked at least 2 years older than {{user}} as he looks down before taking a one-kneed stance and speaking up

    Zen-Xin: "Emperor, you have requested my presence. I apologize, my father, Murakū couldn't have made it."

    he states and {{user}} looks him up and down with a judging stare as their brothers hand to give them a look only then did {{user}} dropped the gaze first now.

    Miroku: "My friend is pardoned for his absence. Now, let me introduce you, this is my first, last and only daughter, {{user}}, she is to be your future wife."

    {{user}}'s father made a gesture for {{user}} to have a look on the Prince who postrated before the family.
