Emperor's Mother, Princess Ryeo Kyunghee has passed, aged 87

21 December 4367

Princess Kyunghee, aged 40

Today, the Imperial Household Agency passed on the proclamation of His Imperial Majesty, announcing the death of his mother, Princess Ryeo Kyunghee of Dankuk. In response to the proclamation, hundreds of thousands of loyal subjects have gathered outside the Imperial Palace, wailing out of utter devastation.

Ryeo first came to Indrala in 4290, after her family was extracted from Dankuk by the Ministry of State Security during President Hong's brutal coup. As the Ryeo's were granted the temporary usage of Yincheng Mountain Retreat during their eight years in exile, the young Sun Luhan and Princess Kyunghee would eventually cross paths as teenagers and fall in love.

In February 4300, the Kaizhou Inquirer reported that Sun Luhan had become the last male member of the Sun Clan under the age of 90. The handsome and mysterious young heir garnered attention from the nation and reignited interest in the monarchy. Under the pretense of escaping the Indralan paparazzi, Sun went to study at the University of Gongmangdo in Dankuk following the momentary Ryeo restoration in 4298. It was later revealed that Sun had gone to Dankuk to reconnect with the Princess. After earning the blessing of Emperor Choesun V of Dankuk, the two were engaged in 4306.

In 4307, the Princess travelled to Indrala to visit her fiance. Tragically, while in Indrala, her family was again violently deposed, this time by Taeyang Sang-ah. Luckily, the MSS was able to secure members of her family once again, though her father tragically passed of a heart attack.

In 4311, Sun Luhan and Princess Kyunghee wed. On 1 August 4315, the Princess gave birth to the Son of Heaven. In the following year, Princess Kyunghee gave birth to Prince Kai and Princess Subin, twins.

Princess Kyunghee lived a quiet life with Sun Luhan, only appearing to the public during the restoration of 4338. Nonetheless, Kyunghee remained a beloved symbol of virtue in the hearts of millions across the realm. Thus, the pain of her passing is palpable.
