How can anyone say NO to such a proposal?

The proposal letter of the King of Baekjae (Seo Dong) for the hand of the Princess Sunhwa in Episode 53 of "Seo Dong Yo" is really a masterpiece. Before this formal proposal, the King of Baekjae and the King of Shilla (the Princess's father) have tried to negotiate peace face to face, but this is sabotaged by the nobles of Baekjae who engineer a border skirmish. This results in a military standoff between the two countries.

When the King of Baekjae realizes the true situation, he decides to cement peace between the two countries by proposing formally to the Princess Sunhwa. He sends Moraksu as his envoy to the King of Shilla with a formal proposal letter which is at the same time a very personal love letter to the Princess. Below are the contents:

Long ago in Shilla there was a popular folksong called "The Song of Seo Dong". I am the character in that song, Buyo-Jang, the King of Baekjae.

Due to our different backgrounds and social positions as well as our belonging to different countries, we have to experience a lot of separations and undergo a lot of sufferings. But all the pain has only taught me to understand more clearly how precious my princess is to me. Shilla and Baekjae may be two different countries, but there cannot be a dividing line between our two yearning hearts.

Even as the King of Baekjae, I have never had any second thoughts about our fate of coming together: our sufferings must find fulfilment in love. I love my princess not as a king but as a man. I protect my princess not as a Baekjae man but as her man. I respect my princess not only as her man but as her lifelong comrade. My proposal now is to request that you allow the Princess Sunhwa to be my one and only spouse in my life and to be the Queen of Baekjae. Princess Sunhwa is my beginning and my end. Please grant approval of our marriage. Let the two of us be the symbols of peace and friendship between our two countries.

Buyo-Jang
King of Baekjae

P.S.
This is the King of Baekjae's personal message to the Princess in a letter delivered by Moraksu:

What should I send to represent me to welcome you to Baekjae? I thought about this for a long time and finally hit upon this idea. Remember the little guy who becomes very angry when he finally discovers the Princess's identity? the little guy who becomes very sorrowful after he realizes he can never be with the Princess? the little guy who writes a folksong out of anger and sorrow? Even though that song is written out of spite, but to me, it's the song of hope -- hope of being together with my princess. It's the song of desire -- desire to be together with my princess. Let this song go in my stead. Let all the people of Shilla know. Let the people, and also the Heavens, grant our wishes. I will pray, and pray. I send this song to you. Miss you.

I've watched this drama a number of times and I've heard/read this proposal numerous times, but each time I still get misty-eyed. I am so glad Seo Dong and the Princess have a happy ending (of sorts.) They deserve to be happy together. Such a pity that happiness only lasts 13 years!
