AI Summary
The story unfolds with a family grappling with their daughter, Cynthia, whose lifestyle choices cause distress to her father. He expresses frustration over her frequenting clubs and bars, fearing she is a prostitute, despite her insistence that she only goes to have fun and is a decent person. Cynthia's father wants her to marry and live a respectable life.
Meanwhile, a prince, referred to as "the boy," meets a woman named Angela, and he expresses a desire for her to dress more decently. He gives her a significant sum of money (500,000) for new clothes, which she gratefully accepts, seeing it as a sign of his affection and a way to secure her future. Angela's friend encourages her to maintain this relationship because of the financial benefits.
The prince's father, concerned about Cynthia's behavior, confides in his son about his worries. The son, who is abroad, reassures his father and promises to send money to develop land in the village, intending to build a new house for his parents. This news brings immense joy to the father.
Later, the prince encounters an old friend, Modesta, a former football player, who is now a chief. They share a heartfelt reunion, reminiscing about their past. Modesta reveals his bitterness over his family's past misfortunes, including the loss of his father's property and his mother being thrown out of their home. Despite this, he has decided to return to the village and move past the pain. Modesta has two children, a son abroad and a daughter in the city. The prince also has two sons, one abroad and one at home.
The prince’s relationship with Angela continues, with her successfully extracting more money from him by feigning issues like overdue rent. Her friend advises her to focus on the financial gains rather than marriage, which Angela agrees with, viewing the prince as an "ATM machine."
A dramatic confrontation occurs at the palace when Cynthia, who had previously broken the prince's head in a nightclub, appears with her parents. Her parents and the king, the prince's father, are childhood friends. During the altercation, the prince punches Cynthia in the eye, causing her to lose an eye. The king and queen, along with Cynthia's parents, insist that the prince marry Cynthia as a consequence of his actions, to which the prince strongly objects, calling her a "harlot" and a "prostitute." He declares he has found love with a girl from the West and will marry her instead.
Cynthia's father confronts her about her behavior at the palace, expressing shame and frustration over her actions, especially fighting the crown prince. Cynthia, however, remains defiant, accusing the prince of harassment. Her parents argue about who is to blame for Cynthia's upbringing.
The prince's mother, enraged by his refusal to marry Cynthia and his violence, insists he must marry her. She emphasizes that real men don't beat women and that he must take responsibility for blinding Cynthia. The prince remains resistant, threatening to leave.
Cynthia moves into the prince's house, much to his dismay. She asserts her position, demanding money for food and other necessities, and frequently picks fights with him. She tells him she is there on a "suicide mission," ready to die if he doesn't comply with her demands. She forces him to eat her breakfast and even demands a hug before allowing him to leave for a meeting.
The prince's friend, concerned about Angela, investigates her background and discovers she is a "sex hawker" and not a student as she claimed. The friend tries to warn the prince, but he dismisses the information, unwilling to believe anything negative about Angela.
Angela, meanwhile, continues to manipulate the prince for money. She introduces him to her cousin, also a "sex hawker," suggesting he could also benefit from the prince's wealth. The prince overhears this conversation, realizing Angela's deception.
The prince confronts Angela, who tries to apologize, but he is heartbroken by her betrayal. He also faces a tense situation with Cynthia, who pushes him to his limits. In a fit of rage, he attempts to shoot Cynthia, but the bullets had been removed from the gun.
Cynthia reveals that her blindness was fake and part of a plan orchestrated by the queen and king to change the prince's stubborn and irresponsible ways. The plan was inspired by the king's own past, where his wife (the queen) helped him change his stubbornness. Cynthia was chosen because she possessed similar traits to the queen and could effectively challenge the prince. Her mission was to provoke him, leading to the "blinding" incident, which forced the prince to marry her as a consequence.
Upon learning the truth, the prince is deeply remorseful for his past actions and apologizes to Cynthia and his parents. He expresses his desire to change and become a responsible man. He then introduces Cynthia as the woman he wants to marry, recognizing her strength, wisdom, and decency. The king and queen, pleased with their son's transformation, bless their union. The plan, designed to teach the prince responsibility and bring about a positive change in his character, ultimately succeeds in uniting him with Cynthia and ensuring the future of the kingdom.
