mayuree's pov.

after another wonderful date with mingi, i came home and propped myself on the door. i clenched my fast-paced heart with a stupid grin on my face.

whenever i was with him, i always felt this one feeling... like when your so happy you can't think straight. and you feel all drunk and high at the same time whenever he smiles. and you just wanna shout 'i love you' all day long. i've never felt such a feeling before i met song mingi.

"yah, mayuree. ladies don't lean on walls." my mother walked by, flicking her hands to signal me to stand up straight. i nodded and obeyed.

she added, "by the way, your father and i want to talk to you in the study before dinner. please don't wear those... scraps. it's important."

i grit my teeth and nodded. "yes ma'am."

i went to my room and unwillingly changed from my overalls into a velvety blue dress. i was forced to wear things like this, since i was the princess of thailand after all.

i entered my father's office to find my parents sitting elegantly at a desk. i sat before them and nodded once.

"so, what were you guys gonna tell me?"

my mother pat my father's arm and he cleared his throat. "since you are our only daughter, that means you're our last bloodline."

i nodded, "ok. i know that."

"please do us the honor of continuing our family name and finding a marriage partner before it's too late."

i choked on my spit and laughed nervously, "i'm too young to marry. what do you mean?"

mother sighed, "mayuree, we understand that, but it's crucial that you marry young. haven't you heard our family's traditions?"

i shook my head, "i don't want to..."

"king wu from china requests you marry his oldest son, jiangjin. think about it, okay?" my dad said half-heatedly.

"wu jiangjin..." i swallowed hard. "an arranged marriage?"

"yes."

"i... i'll think about it." i said it, but i didn't mean it. as i left the study, all i could think about was mingi.

this is unbelievable.
