Once upon a time, there was a king who was terribly sick but kept it as a secret. The only ones who knew were his doctor and wife. And before he passed away, he wanted to make sure that his kingdom will be in the hands of a married man and a good woman.
My son, I have invited two women that I know will be the best for you as your wife and the next queen.
But the king is not only the one with a secret since the prince has a commoner as a hidden lover.
Hello, Jane. I have decided that you shall meet my father and become my wife.
Oh but I can't for I am nothing but a poor lady that your father will never accept.
The night when he had to choose among the two women was also the night when he wanted to see his true love and have her accepter by his father.
And just as he wished, his one true love had arrived to the castle to meet the king and seek for his approval.
No. You will never have a commoner as a wife.
And the son who had always valued his father's approval, was left in hopes that he may meet the same woman in another life and be able to marry her.
