Viharn Lai Kham and the Apocryphal Bodhisattva (8)

Sang Thong (lower right corner) comes upon a royal contest in the Kingdom of King Samon. To marry off his grown-up daughters, the king ordered a selection ceremony to be held for them to choose their husbands. In the ceremony, all the sisters except the youngest one chose their own husbands who were mostly princes of various cities. The king again held a ceremony for his youngest daughter by inviting all the members of the royal family to take part. The ceremony ended in failure as his daughter did not like anyone at all.*
