    Prince Joffrey Biscotti.c4868cdd9934ee46

    Joffrey is the second dateable character in <Love Trap Marriage.> He was a secondary character, always behind Edward in both academics and swordsmanship. No matter how hard he tried, he was perpetually ranked second. In sword training classes, he always lost whenever he faced Edward.946910a9e59eeee1

    The female protagonist comes to think of Joffrey as a good person after seeing this, but he doesn’t comfortably accept that praise.e26ef2ed4fdca0b5

    I’m not a good person. But thank you for seeing me that way.

    This is because 82b56b6456 Joffrey approached the c2cab1e8e8 female protagonist in 6f294d4072 the first place 736536859c because she was a6f7bf9e26 the woman Edward a04d6bc2da showed interest in.b1788b431aef44a0

    There are two princes in d9eba30925 the kingdom: First Prince Edward 16f846f742 and Second Prince Joffrey. Edward was born 4fedd82b51 four months before 3563e06f89 Joffrey and was 6e15cd8109 recognized as the d16fa28c8e firstborn.8531333ee4a29816

    Naturally, the two princes have bd0c617b43 different mothers.ec0ddcc2d496412b

    First Prince Edward’s mother belongs to the lower class. The Queen, mother of Second Prince Joffrey, is the current queen. Yet, Edward is the outstanding heir, and Joffrey has always been compared to him while growing up.20b637df0ee1df50

    Prince Joffrey was eleven years old this year. People said Joffrey was intelligent. They treated him as if he were already determined to be the successor, and this included Duke Pie, who was the princes’ tutor.f128070e96034d21
