Gerald himself was certainly not too excited about the fact that he was about to marry that beauty out of the blue.
However, he was also thinking about the practicality of going along with it.
Quite honestly, Tulip had made a good move in terms of advancing his plans. After all, as long as he was able to sneak into the Yowell family, then he would be able to put a stop to his vagabond lifestyle for at least a while.
However, the main issue still remained. Why did he have to get married to such a strange woman just to achieve that?
A better question yet, would his choice of actions be answerable to Mila later on?
“So, how about it? Haha! Just so you know, the marriage will only last for a year. Once that year is up, you’ll need to divorce her. However! The Yowell family will be sure to present you with a massive amount of money once that happens. I see no downsides to you agreeing! After all, not only will you be set for life once the year is done, but you’ll also have the title of the Yowell’s son-in-law throughout the next year!” said Tulip.
“Deal!” replied Gerald instantaneously as he looked at her.
As long as he could become stronger, then he would have a higher chance to save Mila and also deal with Kort. Gerald was well aware that attempting to do so with his current strength was futile, therefore there was zero hesitance in his final decision.
“…Huh? I haven’t even told you the conditions yet! How could you just agree like that?” pouted Tulip slightly, a hint of contempt in her eyes.
‘Humph! And here I thought you were a gentleman of honor… In the end, you’re just another money-grabbing b*stard!’
“So there are conditions… State them,” replied Gerald.
“But of course there are! Well, there’s only one, though it honestly shouldn’t be that big of a deal for you. Regardless, the most important thing is that you understand that your marriage with my sister is akin to the relationship between an employer and an employee. Don’t even dream about ever being able to go beyond that!”
