The seven princes of District 9 strolled through their kingdom, weighed down by the pressure from their parents to find a suitable bride. Yet, they had yet to encounter anyone they could envision spending their lives with. As Prince Jisung wandered over to a food stall in search of his favorite cheesecake, something caught his eye. He noticed a boy, seemingly a servant, helping a woman and her two daughters. Despite the dirt smeared across his face and clothing, the boy radiated an otherworldly charm that made Jisung's heart skip a beat. In that moment, he realized he had found what they had all been searching for.

Excitedly, he dashed back to his brothers. "Guys, I found our bride!"

They turned to him in surprise. "Really? Where?" Jeongin asked, his enthusiasm palpable.

"Over at the cheesecake stall," Jisung replied, pointing eagerly. The woman and her daughters noticed the princes' attention and smiled as all seven of them approached.

"Your Highnesses, what an honor to have you here," the woman said, her voice warm and welcoming.

The princes barely acknowledged her, their focus fixed on the boy. Minho cleared his throat, stepping forward. "What's your name, angel?"

The woman started to respond, but Chan interjected, "No, we want to know his name," gesturing toward the captivating boy.

"His name is Felix, but why settle for that dirty wretch when you could have one of my daughters?" the woman retorted.

"Why would you speak of your son that way?" Hyunjin asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.

"He's my stepson. My husband died, and he was left in my care," the woman snapped, her tone sharp.

"Miss, what is your name?" Chan inquired, maintaining his composure despite the tension.

"Seo-yun," the woman replied, her voice steady.

"Well, Seo-yun, we'll be taking your stepson off your hands. We want him as our bride, and we will give him the love and life he truly deserves. Come here, Felix," Chan commanded.

Felix dropped the broom and hurried toward the princes, but Seo-yun grabbed his arm, pulling him back.

"No! If you take him, who will do the cleaning and cooking?" she protested.

"We don't care. We're taking him. Now, let go of him, or we'll have you thrown into the dungeon," Changbin warned, his tone unyielding. Reluctantly, Seo-yun released her grip, and Felix rushed to join the brothers. Jeongin scooped him up effortlessly.

"Why is he so light? Do you not feed him?" Jeongin asked, concern etched across his face.

"He only gets the scraps that are left after we eat," one of the daughters chimed in.

Fury ignited within Jeongin. He handed Felix to Minho and marched up to Seo-yun, slapping her sharply across the face.

"You vile woman! Treating him like some pet or slave. He's ours now, and don't let me catch sight of you again. In fact, you're banned from selling anything here for one month," Jeongin declared, his voice low and menacing. He turned to one of the royal guards. "Make sure they pack up and leave within the hour."

The guard bowed respectfully. "Yes, Your Highness."

With that, the princes, flanked by their royal guards, turned and made their way to their horses. As they mounted, Minho handed Felix over to Chan, who welcomed him with open arms.

"Hi, baby. Do you understand everything that's happening?" Chan smiled down at Felix, his gaze warm and reassuring.

"I think so. You seven princes want to marry me," Felix replied, his voice barely above a whisper. He looked down at his hands, shame creeping into his tone. "But I'm nothing special and I'm ugly. I'm sure there are better candidates than me for you all."
