The Mo Si Clone, An Xuehai, asked, "Is that the Prince Jia of Zhou, the one who claimed he would wander the seas for a lifetime?"
The receptionist coughed. By not denying it, he essentially admitted it.
The story of Xia Yuanjia was very famous, even in the Yu Country.
His father was the Prince of Zhou. Of his two legitimate older brothers, one died of illness in childhood, and the other was paralyzed after a fall from a horse in his youth, leaving him able to move only his head.
According to the order of succession, he became the Heir Prince, eligible to inherit the title of Prince.
The death or severe injury of an heir was a common occurrence, even in the Yu Country. In an environment with underdeveloped medical care, even a minor external wound could have serious consequences.
Logically, Xia Yuanjia should have gladly accepted the title of Heir Prince and calmly awaited his future inheritance of the Prince's title.
But he refused.
