Ten Cliches
Beautifully Fake [Slowly Rewriting]
"How do the Kim's know that she's back in Korea? I thought you said no one here knew her." The king asked Mr. Lee.
"I assume news has spread," Mr. Kim explained quickly.
The king rubbed his face, a sign of exhaustion, "How is she supposed to be two people at once?" Mr. Lee couldn't say anything, he had no idea how this was going to work.

Iseul nervously knocked on the kings door. "Come in," his stern voice rang out. Iseul did as told, as soon as she was inside she took notice of Mr. Lee. The king handed her the invitation not saying a word till after she read it.
