Chapter 27: The fate of childless royal wives.

Sigrid and everyone turned to look at the shop keeper she was talking about. He was an average man, shorter than the others he had come with, even though he was not so old, he was losing his hair already, he also had two missing teeth so at times, people called him milk teeth, joking that his teeth were so weak that they fell out easily.

"Crown princess, I am willing." Mr. Bumblebert volunteered himself eagerly.

Just like everyone else, he also thought Mirena’s daughter was bound to be a beauty because her mother was one.
