Gabriel was just as speechless. Marriage? He knew the inhabitants of this world were strange, but still, he never expected to be rewarded with a wife for killing a weak slime.

Garfield's eyes were firm. "Whitebridge owes you its survival. And frankly… I need a son-in-law with power. My daughter's future should be tied to someone who can protect her and this city."
Aurelia opened her mouth, then closed it again. She looked up at Gabriel, and a blush crept onto her face.
'Handsome!!'
Right at that moment, Gabriel spoke with a faint shake of his head. "I… appreciate the gesture, but I'll have to decline."
