章節 122: A Perished Soulmate

"Lady James is the perfect candidate for you. Take her as your wife. She's worthy of your companionship and would make a good queen!"

"Or choose a noble lady, Your Highness! There are plenty of worthy maidens interested in you!"

Their words echoed, taunting him. But it wasn't as simple as they made it seem.
