Presentation of the Ladies
The King's ChoiceAfter the meeting with the council, Suho has just been trying to take it all in. In a snap of a finger he became King and is now on a search for his Queen.
The past week has all been preparations for his Coronation Ceremony happening next week but today was different. Today he gets to meet the three ladies the Council has chosen.
The doors of the hall open and soon the members of the Council are complete.
Suho’s POV
Will I get along with any of them? What if I don’t like any of them? What if they don’t like me?

Without thinking twice, Suho decides to go with the flow.
“You. I choose you.” He said as he points at a girl pouring tea to one of the elders.
The palace maid dropped the teapot when she realized that the King was pointing at her.
She got down on her knees with her head bowed ready to say sorry for the broken teapot when the elder in front of her asked, “What is your name, dear?”
“…my name is Irene, Sir.”
“Everyone, this is Irene, our very own palace maid and she will be our representative.” The old man smiled and gave her a pat on the back.
