If Frederick actually married Gilda, he would have to arrange for people to take care of Gilda. Instead of aiding him, she would only give him more trouble. That was what Frederick and his father tried to avoid.
Initially, Frederick's father, Marcus Jahn, planned to cancel the engagement when Frederick became a level six royal saint by saying the gap of attainment between Frederick and Gilda was too huge. At that point, Gilda was useless to them regardless of how beautiful she was. They were afraid her sickness would affect her baby in the future. Thus, he definitely would not allow his son to marry Gilda.
Albeit, it came as a shock to hear that Gilda had fully recovered. More surprisingly, Gilda managed to become a level four royal saint over the night. Their perspective on Gilda changed. Instead of thinking Gilda was useless, they now thought Gilda was a genius too. Only a woman like her deserved to be with Frederick.
Thus, the visit today.
Gilda smiled with a nod. "Yes. I have fully recovered and I'm a level four royal saint now."
However, she did not go into too much detail about how she recovered and what sort of sickness she had. There were too many people, and she did not exactly know how to tell Frederick.
"Haha! That's so good to hear. Congratulations, Gilda." Marcus chuckled.
"Thank you, Mr. Marcus. I was lucky." Gilda smiled embarrassingly.
Marcus continued on, "You look much more energetic than before. I remember the last time I was here, you were always very tired. You are totally different now. Look at how pretty you are. Frederick and you definitely a hell of a good couple."
It just did not feel right for them to come visit today. They even brought their elders together. Obviously, they were onto something else.
Marcus chuckled. "Haha. Yes, I have been busy. I did tell Frederick that we should come and visit Gilda soon. However, he was so busy with training that we had to postpone. Since we are free today, we thought we should drop by."
After a pause, he continued, "Frederick and Gilda are not young anymore. I mean she has her breakthrough and her body is better than before. I'm wondering if maybe it's about time that they should get married. That's why I ask the elders to come along together as witnesses and also use the opportunity to bring presents over to confirm their marriage. Then we shall look for a good day to have the wedding."
An elder of the Horizon Sect said, "Although we don't focus on the formality, the marriage is after all a big event between the two sects. I think it's still essential to go through some of the process. For example, picking a good day to have the wedding and escorting Gilda to the Horizon Sect."
