After much contemplation, Sejong finally reached a conclusion.
"There's no other way. We must decide on all three."
Following Sejong's decision, the three noble ladies were all chosen as potential consorts for the Crown Prince.
With his resolve firm, Sejong summoned Byeon Gye-ryang and Yoo Sun-do.
"Examine the fortunes of these women and determine who is most suitable to be the Crown Princess. The other two will become the Crown Prince's concubines."
Thus, Byeon Gye-ryang and Yoo Sun-do selected the noble lady deemed most suitable to be the Crown Princess.
"It is this lady."
Once the Crown Prince's consort was decided, Sejong called for Hyang again.
"The Crown Princess has been chosen."
"Who is it?" "The daughter of the Minister of Military Affairs."
"Is that so?" "And the other two will be concubines."
"What? Your Majesty, I thought there would only be one consort..."
Sejong immediately interrupted Hyang.
"It is the duty of a king to have many children. I will not hear any objections."
"But..."
As Hyang continued to oppose, Sejong revealed his true thoughts.
"Do you wish to take a princess or a noblewoman from Ming as a consort? We must not give them any excuses!" "Ah..."
At Sejong's words, Hyang quickly understood.
