"Sister, you're already 23 years old, no princess in any country is as unwilling to marry as you."
Paul the First patiently consoled, "Crown Prince Ivan has written you many letters expressing his love, but you never read them. Now, Bourbon King Ivan XIV has personally written to me, wanting to engage in a royal marriage. It's a very good opportunity, why don't you agree?"
As he spoke, Paul the First snapped his fingers, and the maids immediately brought over the prepared portraits, neatly arranged against the sunlight.
The portraits all featured young, handsome men, dressed in formal attire, standing within the palace, their impressive statures captured by court painters, each clearly rich and of high status.
"Sister, take a look, all these noblemen have long admired you. Their families wield vast influence in their respective kingdoms. Just say the word, and I am willing to personally write letters to facilitate this for you."
