Two Kingdoms | Park Sunghoon

3RD PERSON POV.

"Your Highness, if I may say so, I think it's time for you to get married. I mean your mother was married at 15. So in terms of heritage and history, you are quite late." The Queen's aide spoke.

"No. You may not add. If I hear any one of you speak of this topic from here on, I won't hold back. Please take this as your first and final warning." Aeri replied with her blood boiling simply upon hearing the topic.

All Aeri wanted was one day where no one asked her about marriage. However, due to the formalities, and her aunt forcing her, she had to go through the hellhole of suiting session.

Suiting sessions are when many Princes and Kings come for the Queen's hand in marriage. The day she wished would never come. It caused her migraines just thinking about it. The thought of having to sit through multiple arrogant, greedy men propose to her dug a deep, churning pit in her gut.

DAY OF SUITING.

"Introducing, Prince of Goguryeo, Hwang Inyong." Introduced Aeri's aide.

"Your Highness. Might I mention you look specially breathtaking today. I have brought for you-" he was cut off by her bored tone of voice.

"And you look specially brain dead today. Next." She replied coldly, earning a chuckle from her aide. His smile dropped and he rolled his eyes dramatically.

"You're ugly anyways," he muttered under his breath whilst strutting away.

"No one asked you to lie about your opinions towards me. I don't seek validation from cowards like you." Aeri's voice growing serious as she replied.

"Introducing Prince of Baekche, Park Sunghoon."

"After what I've heard, I think I'll just be honest. You're quite beautiful. In fact, you're breath-takingly beautiful. But that attitude. Really pushing the limit." Sunghoon said while staring directly into her eyes, a smirk creeping on the corners of his mouth.

She was left speechless.
