Chapter 15: A Prince’s Request
Shen Xinghui's mind reeled.
Sure, Ignatius had an air of nobility, but to think he was royalty—it was surreal.
Ignatius gave a bitter smile, his expression riddled with complexity. "I've been traveling the world as an adventurer, searching for someone willing to bear my child. It's been... difficult. A few of them have volunteered, but none of them have stayed."
"I understand your situation is urgent, but I'm not sure what to say," Shen Xinghui admitted.
Searching for a wife across three thousand miles? He thought. The real problem was that the wife in question was nowhere to be found.
Still, it was impressive that Ignatius had managed to get volunteers for such a request—asking for someone to bear his child.
Perhaps it was because he was a prince, and not just any prince, but an incredibly handsome one.
"I can only take it slow and keep searching patiently," Ignatius said. "Running around frantically would only make things more embarrassing."
"Yeah, I can see that," Shen Xinghui replied with a chuckle.
