The Starfield Farming Sovereign (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Extra Clause

Finished

до

If one side didn’t agree to the divorce after one year, the marriage would automatically continue for another year.

After two full years, if one party still insisted on divorce, they could apply alone to the Kingdom Marriage Act. After review, the court could grant the divorce.

Elizabeth thought that as long as she could divorce in the end, waiting one more year was fine.

From Elmer’s attitude, she guessed Cristian probably didn’t want this marriage either. Maybe when the one–year mark came, he would be even more eager than she was. Most likely, they wouldn’t even need to wait for the second year.

When all the procedures were finished, a holographic screen emerged. “Marriage officially registered. Protected under Kingdom law.”

Elizabeth let out a breath of relief and was about to leave when Elmer stopped her again.

“Ms. Schofield, please wait.” With a blank expression, he took out a thin electronic tablet and handed it to her. “This is the postnuptial agreement drafted by General Hewitt. Please review and sign.”

Elizabeth took the tablet and scanned it quickly.

The core terms were simple.

During the marriage, both parties wouldn’t interfere with each other’s work, life, or social activities. They weren’t required to live together as husband and wife.

Neither party could use the other’s spouse status for any activity without permission.

After one year, both parties must unconditionally agree and cooperate in filing for a mutual divorce.

Right after the genetic compatibility results were made public, the First Legion’s staff department had already investigated Elizabeth’s background.

She was the eldest daughter of the Schofields. D–level mental power. Spoiled, arrogant, unreasonable. She had a bad reputation in Centria Planet’s upper society..

What angered the officers most was that she had once tried to drug her former fiancé and was caught on the spot. In the end, she was exiled to Garbage Planet.

A person like that, in their eyes, didn’t deserve Cristian,

So, the high command of the First Legion strongly opposed this marriage.

But even Cristian couldn’t openly defy the Kingdom’s law.

In the end, he compromised. He agreed to marry first–but only with this agreement, to draw a clear line and ensure a smooth divorce after one year.

As Elizabeth read the agreement, she almost laughed out loud.

This contract felt custom–made for her.

No interference?

No marital duties?

Automatic divorce after one year?

Perfect!

Marriage would only slow down her money–making speed.

Once she had enough money, she could choose any kind of man she wanted.

Back in her previous world, many talented young men and sect heirs had shown interest in her. She had never cared.

Seeing her silent, Elmer thought she was hesitating. He quickly added what he believed was a tempting condition. “Ms. Schofield, signing this agreement won’t disadvantage you. General Hewitt promises that after one year, when you divorce by agreement, he will pay you a generous alimony according to the Kingdom Marriage Act.”

“Alimony?” Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. “How much?”

Seeing her obvious greed, Elmer felt even more contempt. “The exact amount cannot be determined now. But according to the law, it is usually 20% of the total personal assets of the wealthier party. If you actively cooperate with the divorce, the General may increase it by another 10%.”

“Thirty percent?” Elizabeth did a quick calculation in her head. Her voice rose in excitement. “How many stellar coins would that be?“.

Elmer replied impatiently, “It will definitely be more than your former fiancé’s total assets.”

Elizabeth became even more excited.

Zachary was from one of the Five Great Families, the Knights. His family was already very wealthy.

More than his total assets?

Wouldn’t that mean instant financial freedom? No more working forever?

But the bigger the temptation, the clearer her mind became.

In her previous life, she had learned one truth–there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The greater the benefit, the greater the hidden price.
