That night, his grandfather thought that the death body was her and told to her mother crown princess that "It is my understanding that you have the girl's body. Everything I am doing is for you and our family's sake. Find it in your heart to let this go." Did her grandfather tell her who was sentenced to death because she being born as a girl that the future of the country depends on her? How funny it was!

(The prince was stunned when he heard that. Was the son of the man who killed her brother was his friend? Why? Why like this?)

I heard that your birthday is today. This may sound impudent, but after hearing about how excellent you are from a girl I knew, I wanted to meet you in person and wish you a happy birthday. From what she told me, you aren't authoritative or arrogant, but a generous prince with a loving heart for his subjects. So ever since that day, I have been hoping that one day, I would be able to serve you by your side.
