After avoiding the guards, Min-Ho made it to her room "Haa... That was a close one..." She sighed, seeing something reflect on the sun, the shining item was in her bag, opening it as she saw that the necklace with the letter S engraved on it was reflecting on the sun as she smiled softly "I thought it was something special, but it seems like it wasn't actually that big of a deal..." She muttered, noticing how the light reflected on the necklace, it seemed somewhat... Beautiful. After not long later, a knock was heard at her door "Madame Min-Ho, Breakfast is ready~" A maiden says, waiting for Min-Ho "I'll be there." Min-Ho replied as she shook her head, hiding the necklace under her pillow as she went to the banquet hall to eat, seeing her whole family at the table waiting for her "Father, may I ask why breakfast is earlier than normal?" She asked, sitting on her chair "Well, I've been wanting to discuss something to you... Me and your mother has found a kingdom that are willingly to cooperate with us, so we've decided to get you and their prince married." The father explained as he looked at Min-Ho, hoping for her to agree with them "Father, I... It's... Don't you think that's a bit too...? Pressuring?" Min-Ho turned her head at her father, her eyes sincere and soft, hoping her father would understand "The decision has been made. Do not complain, as I don't want to embarrass our bloodline, you don't want to become your grandmother who married a woman from the northern kingdom, yes? You know our history..." The father frowned at Min-Ho "You will receive punishment if you do talk back to me." He added. Min-Ho then ate her food as she remembered the woman from earlier at the hill—"How could someone have so much freedom and will..." She thought, standing up from her chair as soon as she finished eating, heading to her room.
