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.
Everyone had the same thought, to pair Mirena’s daughter with him was equal to pairing a frog with a swan. Even though they had never seen Mirena’s daughter, judging from her mother’s good looks, it was highly probable that she was a good looking woman.
When he was mentioned, Mr. Bumblebert laughed nervously, he even waved like a dignitary, soliciting laughter from some of those looking at him.
"Tsk tsk, and she said that she is in VA." Cosmos muttered.
It was a puzzle to everyone why Sigrid had picked him, some of the younger men had all but been ready to recommend themselves. They could only back off to avoid angering the crown princess.
Sigrid did not disappoint the curious crowd, she went ahead to explain another reason as to why she had picked Mr. Bumblebert.
"He earns a good income, he has no main wife or secondary wife so she can comfortably enjoy that position."
In the back of her mind, Sigrid was thinking, he has a vicious mother that makes her daughters-in-law work like horses, controls the family finances thinks all women are out to steal her son’s love from her so she sows discord between Bumblebert and any woman he is involved with.
"Crown princess, I am willing." Mr. Bumblebert volunteered himself eagerly.
