The Princess's Choice

Her Requests

Jisoo's POV

"My dearest daughter, Princess Jisoo..." The King boomed.

"Yes, Your Majesty," I said. I was in front of my father's throne.

"Do you know why I called you to meet me today?"

"Yes, father," I said.

"You know... your brother can not give me an heir because he is in love with a man."

"Yes, father. I'm aware of that." I looked at my brother, Prince Jaejoong. He is standing with his lover, Lee Changmin. He was fallen in love with one of my father's lieutenant when they went to war together. My father had a hard time accepting their love but eventually, he agreed. It was horrible but everything turns out fine in the end.

"So because the circumstances are not beneficial for us. Now I have to ask you to find a husband for our future in this country. I wish you understand, my dear."

"Yes, father. I understand."

"My plan is I'm going to send invitations to all of the suitable bachelors overseas to come and pursue your heart in marriage." My father said.

"My apologies, father. Do I have to marry right away if I like one of them?" I asked. My father laughed when he heard that.

"No, my dear. I don't want that for you. I want you to find a companion. I want you to find a lover. I want you to find a love like me and your mother." I looked at my mother. She is sitting beside my father. She is still beautiful even though she's aged. People said that I looked exactly like her. She is the best mother that a child can ask to have. Even though I'm a princess, they teach me to be the best princess I could be. They never forced me to do anything. I can do whatever I want. Now it's time for me to do something for them. For my country.

"Father, if I may I have two requests that I want you to fulfill," I asked him.

"Right. What do you want, my dear daughter?"

"My first request is for my friends, father. I want them to also found their love. If I don't have any interest with some of the guys or they don't have any interest in me, I want them to pursue the heart of my friends so they don't waste their time to come all the way across the sea." As I finished with my sentences, I heard the sharp intake of breath from my friends. My friends... I looked at Lisa, Jennie, and Chaeyoung. They are the kind of friends or sisters that you can ever wish for. They are actually not my friends. More actually like my sisters. We are together since we were kids.

One day in the past, my father went home from a raid and he brought me, three beautiful girls. We have a similar age so when my father saw their families got killed, he brought them home. He said I was always alone at our palace. People always busy with their businesses so I got to play alone but after he brought them, I can play with them all the time. I was so happy at that time but my father warned me that they're not my sisters. They are will always be my friends but they're not my equals. I'm still their princess. My father doesn't want them to disrespect me when they grew older.

As time goes by, my parents also falling in love with them. They cared about them. They accepted them like they're actually my sisters. They also have their own maids. Well, they got two and I got four maids. My parents love them just like they love me and my brother. They never disrespected me. We got along really well. We may have our arguments but it was happening out of love. We teased each other left and right but that's unavoidable. Maybe that also the reason why my parents love them so much.

"And your second request, daughter?" My father asked me.

"I don't want you and mother to intervene with my choice of heart, father," I said to him. My father lifted his brow.

"Hmmm... what do you think, wife?" My father asked my mother. Not that my father cannot make his own decisions but he just wants to have a second opinion.

"I think I agree with Jisoo. Even though she needs to find a husband, I want her to find her happiness in life, husband. We can't force someone's heart to love our daughter. For her other request, it's up to you, my love. We love them like our own children. They grew up together. They're like sisters to Jisoo. They did everything together. I want you to take that into consideration." My mother said her own piece.

"Hmmm... I agreed with your second request, my daughter. Your mother and I will not intervene with your choice. You have my word, my daughter. For your first request, I'm afraid I have some requirements about that."

"What's that, father?

"Jisoo, my daughter. For you, my beautiful daughter. You have my blood in you. You also have my mind and your mother's heart. Just like your brother. So I trusted you with my own heart. That's means I know you're not going to make a wrong decision. But for your friends, my dear... even though they are like my own children and I love them just like I love you and your brother. I want them to find their happiness in this world. I still want them to find men that are suitable for them and they need my approval for the men to marry them."

"What do you mean, father?" I asked him.

"If you don't have any interest in some of them and they don't have any interest in you, I allowed them to pursue your friends. But, my dear daughter... they can not know about your request. The bachelors are going to come for you. You're going to see them first. I'm going to announce that it's you who searching for a husband. If in the middle of their stay here, they changed their hearts I am willing to accept that. But I insist they're not going to know about this conversation. They still come for you, my daughter. It's you that they are looking for. NOBODY IN THIS ROOM SAID A WORD ABOUT THIS. THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCE IF SOMEONE SAYS ANYTHING." My father boomed to the people in the room. That's also meant he didn't want any argument about his decision. "Even you, my daughter. They need to truly want your friends to be able to pursue their hands in marriage. Do you understand, my daughter?"

"I understand, Your Majesty." I gave my curtsy to The King.

"You may leave now, my dear daughter. I'm sure you have some things to attend to." My father asked me to leave.

"Your Majesty. Mother." I gave them my curtsy by dipping my body downward slightly by bending my knees.

As I walked to go outside the room, I heard my father said, "Jung Hoseok, spread the invitations."

"As you wish, Your Majesty." Hoseok, The King's prime minister said.

"Min Yoongi, order the servants to prepare the guest houses. We're going to have some important guests." The King orders.

"Consider it done, Your Majesty." Said Yoongi, my father's general.

My note :

Expect all BTS-Blackpink ships to be in this story and some more. I want to make a story that allowed me to escape from kpop world's disadvantages but still have some restrictions on it. Beside Blackpink are already yg's princess, right? And blood, sweat and tears' concept is still my favorite. That concept is just their golden era. So yeah... here it goes... enjoy!
