Once upon a time, there was a kingdom with a ruler. The ruler was quite the heart throb too. He ruled the throne by himself for quite some time now. The king did many things for his country such as donate money to different regions to help fund education and remodeled parts of his kingdom as well. The citizens of the country were fond of him and respected him as well. Though ruling his country was fun, he was lonely. He wanted to find a wife to wed. However, he found no one attractive. The women he met were always throwing themselves at him. When they did, he would simply shrug them off.

However, this did not stop the determined king. He was going to find a lover. Word spread that he was searching for someone to wed and the women of the kingdom were excited. Finally, many of them thought, finally we may actually have a chance to be with the king. The king searched far and wide for a possible significant other, but it was no use. The king could not and did not find any of the women he met attractive and he wasn't sure why. He could not put his finger on it.

There was something he was looking for. A spark? Perhaps. A great personality? Maybe. Someone who was filled with wisdom? Not really, but it would be a bonus. Unimaginable beauty? Perhaps that too. Everyone seemed decent to the king.

However, it all changed when he met her.

If he was going to be honest, this women did not have 'unimaginable beauty', but she did have one thing that sparked the ruler's interests, her eyes. Her eyes were the most beautiful pair of eyes he had ever seen. They looked so round, so pure, so innocent, just like a puppy. He had never seen such beauty in his life.

The king was glad he was riding his horse by the lake that day. He was stressed and tired of looking for a wife so he decided to get some fresh air. That's when he passed her. The one. The woman wasn't doing anything special. She was simply sitting at the lake admiring its beauty. He could not take his eyes off her.

The king immediately dismounted from his horse and did not want to waste his time. She's the one, he thought. Though his flirting skills were mediocre, he walked up to the woman and complimented her.

"Hello, miss. You have beautiful eyes," he said to her.

The woman was both confused and shocked because, one, the king just complimented her, and two, you don't often see people randomly go up to you and compliment you.

"Thank you, your majesty," she said, bowing

However, the next thing confused her even more.

"Although we have just met, will you marry me?"

The woman was confused even more. He said it out of nowhere as well. You do not propose to people when you first meet them. She laughed at the sudden statement made by the king.
