To marry her, King Thibaw made a solemn promise to ensure her safety within the palace and grant her the royal title of the Queen of the Northern Palace. He swore that if he were to break this promise, he would forfeit his throne, potentially leading to the downfall of the dynasty. The king did not fulfill his promise, and Daing Khin Khin was executed by Supayalat while she was pregnant.
