“My choice at first was a hard decision to make.” Sana started. “But after some time… With each suitor… I’ve chosen Yoo Jeongyeon.” She stated calmly. She wanted to smile, and run into her arms, but she couldn’t. Not with the cameras. Not with the thousands of eyes watching her. 

The audience gasped, most applauded her choice. Everyone seemed… Happy at her choice. 

Later on when everything had calmed down, Jeongyeon was escorted to the king’s study. She was nervous, the last time she had spoken to him, he was everything nice. But now that she was chosen… Who knows how he would react.
