Turning away from the Player Forums, Marni cleared his throat and spoke to Gerald, who was still standing in front of him. “I can accept you not converting away from your current faith, but the deed would remain unfulfilled if that is to be the case.”

“What shall Sir Gerald do, then?” The noblewoman asked in Gerald’s stead.

“I have actually put in an addendum when I wrote the deed—the victor may offer certain requests should the defeated not carry out as agreed in the deed out of various reasons.”

“And what would your request be? You may speak freely.” The noblewoman appeared eager, but there is no way Marni could take her words at face value.

He glanced at Gerald, and noticed that the sign above the young knight’s head had moved up to Level 36 after his duel with Mufasa.

He just might be able to try poaching a talent.

Still, what request he would make was a challenge.

Nobles often put numbers in what was profitable to them, and the noblewoman might choose to abandon Gerald if his offer proved unreasonable.

When that happens, having Gerald beside him meant that all his actions would be monitored. His hatred of being abandoned by his former master would also be directed on to Marniand when the time comes, he would lucky if he’s not killed, much less poach him…

Be that as it may, a request too simple would be meaningless if it’s completed quickly by the other party.

Nonetheless, it was difficult to have the mayor’s family relent solely by profit.

So, why not start by changing Gerald’s thoughts and perspectives?

Marni was quite confident with the Players’ ability to assimilate. No matter who it was or how high-and-mighty they would behave, all of them would eventually become crazy after being in the company of the Playersincidentally, the wood elves of Trinia who had approached the Players on their own volition recently were heading towards that direction as well.

And after becoming crazy, the best place for them to be in this world was the Church of Games.

Therefore, Marni cleared his throat again and voiced his request.

“If that’s the case, I’ll have Sir Gerald be my bodyguard for some time.”
