Aila stood up and bowed in front of her grandfather.
"I am sincerely apologizing to you as early as now, grandpa. I am not interested on having an arrange marriage. As the future queen, I want to show women all over the world; that choosing your life partner should rely on your free will and mutual understanding with your partner and not be coerced by others."
The king was flushed hearing what his only granddaughter just uttered. She is the future queen, but she is not crowned yet. However, she is now very determined to oppose him.
"You raised an interesting point, my dear, but you have to respect tradition."
The king was precise in his answer, and he wanted to make it clear for Aila that the monarchy is not solely about ruling the kingdom but also respecting the royal tradition.
