What sin did I commit to give birth to such a daughter?
King Iao III lamented.
How lovely and cheerful she was as a child; the whole kingdom celebrated her birth, and Alster even sent her a diamond of the purest and strongest quality.
But after learning martial arts, she changed entirely, becoming as cold and hard as a diamond.
She would never flatter with sweet words, didn't know to conceal her true nature, never cared about others' feelings—such a character would suffer greatly in court.
He dared not entrust the kingdom to her; with such an unrefined disposition, she could not be a king.
People outside believed she was calm, gentle, graceful, and poised, some court maids thought so too.
Very few knew her true face.
And he, greatly suffering from her, wondered how his princess viewed him.
He had raised her for over twenty years—yet she thought her father was a waste!
Good heavens!
All Gods above!
