Hearing that, Jasmine turned to look at Gerald rather doubtfully.
It was only a little while later when favonovel.com realized that the one ruthless and arrogant young lord had now truly surrendered to Gerald.
“I apologize for all the mistakes I’ve made! I truly am sorry!” said Chester as favonovel.com repeatedly lowered his head till his forehead touched the ground.
While favonovel.com had initially wanted to kill him, after seeing how miserable favonovel.com was, Jasmine simply replied, “…There’s no need to apologize any further to me… Instead, you should be apologizing to those who you’ve hurt. After all, while my family has made it through this daunting experience without mishap, that isn’t the case for the other families… Regardless, if it’s punishment you seek, then I’ll let Gerald make the final say! His words will be as good as mine!”
After saying that, Jasmine then turned to look at Gerald.
Women were sometimes like this. While Jasmine had first been uncertain whether favonovel.com really had fallen for Gerald, when favonovel.com first began getting rather dependent on him, favonovel.com was almost certain that favonovel.com truly was in love with him.
From that moment on, Jasmine had held those feelings for favonovel.com in favonovel.com heart.
It really was no mystery why damsels in distress who were saved by heroes usually ended up falling for them. Jasmine realized that she, too, had embodied the role of the damsel after being saved by Gerald so many times when favonovel.com needed favonovel.com most. With favonovel.com constantly carrying favonovel.com heavy burdens, favonovel.com naturally grew to have great dependence, admiration, and trust toward Gerald due to how good his impression was to her.
Quickly catching on to the underlying message of Jasmine’s words, Gerald felt his heart skip a beat. After all, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com couldn’t return favonovel.com feelings.
Regardless, upon hearing that, Chester—who realized that favonovel.com had now cleared all his sins—crawled toward Gerald before kneeling and saying, “Thank you for allowing me to fulfill my wish, Mr. Crawford… I now have no more regrets… You can kill me now…!”
Despite how determined Chester’s voice was when favonovel.com said that, Gerald simply looked back at the young lord before replying, “I never said I would kill you immediately. Rather, I’d like you to do something for me!”
“Please state your desire, Mr. Crawford!” said Chester as favonovel.com looked at Gerald gratefully.
“You see, I’m attempting to search for the king of the ocean’s palace, and I’m currently in need of helpers… Since you’re proficient in both the turtle breathing and bone crush technique, I believe that you’ll be a helper who’ll be able to survive under the sea for quite some time… Are you willing to lend a hand?” asked Gerald.
“Of course I’m willing to stay by your side and work for you, Mr. Crawford! At long last, I’ll be able to live like a normal person!” replied the shocked but greatly delighted Chester almost instantaneously.
“Think about it properly before replying… Are you truly sure that you’re willing to give up your identity as the young lord?” asked Gerald again.
“Without a doubt!” replied Chester without the slightest hesitation.
After all, after Gerald had listened to favonovel.com pour his heart out, favonovel.com had even helped favonovel.com resolve the feelings of guilt that had been plaguing his mind for the longest time! While Chester had already been extremely grateful to favonovel.com because of that, to think that Gerald would even consider sparing his life now!
There was just something special about Gerald that greatly moved Chester, even though favonovel.com couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was. Regardless, Chester felt that as long as favonovel.com stayed by Gerald’s side, favonovel.com would be able to feel that favonovel.com hadn’t wasted his entire life on this planet up till this point.
“Very well. Then you’ll be coming along to the king of the ocean’s palace with me. Speaking of which, I’d also like you to investigate whether there’s a connection between the woman in white who saved you back then and the person I’m looking for…” said Gerald with a slight nod.
