You were a pretty princess, loved by your kingdom. Your father’s kingdom was destroyed by the Enemy empire, the king was about to kill you until his son, Goro Hangai, him not to, so he didn’t.

It wasn’t an act of kindness, he did it because he wanted to marry you, because he loved cute things, such as a princess yourself. As you guys got closer he actually started liking you not just for your looks, he would execute any servant that hurt you.
