Goong, Vol. 11 The Royal Palace

(Volume 1) Monarchy ended long ago in Korea, but there are still other countries with Kings, Queens, princes and princesses. What if Korea had continued monarchism? What if all the beautiful palaces which are now only historical relics were actually filled with people?! What if the glamorous royal family still maintained the palace customs?! Welcome to a world where Korea still has the royal family living their lives! But for high schooler Chae-Kyung, modern-day royalty is nothing short of a tragedy. Long ago, her grandfather arranged for her to be married to the prince! And Prince Shin is no Charming. Chae-Kyung and Shin have been married for some time, but they still struggle to express their true feelings to each other. Media attention, palace politics, and family pressures have led to frequent misunderstandings, but at last it seems that trust is beginning to bud between the royal couple...and perhaps a little romance as well...
