"Your Majesty, a forced melon is not sweet! Yao'er begs Your Majesty to plead with His Majesty and ask him to revoke his order!"
"presumptuous!"
The Queen slammed the table, her eyes gleaming with authority. "This is our parents' order, the matchmaker's words! Furthermore, this is an imperial decree granting this marriage! How can you act so willfully?"
