“Our royal residence may look glamorous on the surface, but it’s not wealthy at all. Your father spends money extravagantly and spends his days indulging in pleasures.

Your mother has always worried that our dowry won’t be generous enough and that you’ll be laughed at if you marry into the Yu family.”
