Hana Lee
"When it comes to wealth, suitors may boast and lie to you... But wine, diamonds, and stock options will always tell the truth."

- Lorelai to Hana

Hana is her daughter. From Hana's early childhood, Lorelai stressed the importance of learning courtly skills to impress future suitors and find an advantageous match among the eligible men of title and wealth. In The Royal Romance, when Hana stands up for herself and tries to become independent and make her own decisions, Lorelai is livid. In Book 3, Lorelai tells Hana that the latter will be disowned if she does not return to Shanghai and it takes Hana persuading Rashad to talk to her father for Lorelai to step back. Lorelai tries to give Hana space but old habits die hard when she tries to force Hana to play the piano to entertain Adelaide and Godfrey later. However, no matter how Lorelai treats Hana, Hana cannot bring herself to hate her mother or her childhood.

In The Royal Heir, Book 2, Hana thinks back on her youth, remembering what Lorelai had told her in the past. Lorelai was fond of Eleanor but did not bring Hana to court and introduce her to the young princes, Leo and "Liam", because it was a difficult, dangerous time in Cordonia. Hana thinks Lorelai was trying to protect her by keeping her away from Cordonia. In Chapter 16, Hana says because she finished her embroidery lessons early, her parents signed her up for supplementary lessons in knot tying.

Xinghai Lee
Xinghai is her husband. Although you meet him during Liam and Madeleine's engagement tour, you do not see them together until they attend your duchy's Lantern festival.

Your Character
She doesn't like you equally if you are with Maxwell, Drake or her daughter, Hana. If you are with King "Liam", she refuses to attend your wedding despite what you say to her. In the end though, like her husband, she will have a change of heart and give you her support and attend your wedding once Hana proves herself to her.
