"You're right about that! Gilda, I'm the strongest and most gifted person in our generation. Do you know how many women would die to be my wife? So why should I marry a woman who is not a virgin anymore?" Frederick sneered.
Frederick did not care if what he said would hurt Gilda.
"Besides, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. What would people think of me when they know it? I'm going to be the biggest laughingstock in this world. Do you still think I should marry you?"
Gilda was very disappointed. "No. I'm sure that's not going to happen. Didn't you say it's not important that your wife is not a virgin? Aren't you the one who says it's normal to have a few relationships before marriage? You said it's not going to be a problem for you!"
Frederick reacted with a sneer. "Gilda, my dear, you are so naive. I'm talking about the ordinary man. They should be happy to marry a beautiful woman as their wives. They are not in the position to be complaining about this or that!"
Then he shrugged his shoulders and said proudly, "Obviously I'm not them. Every woman would beg to be my wife because of my gifted talent. Besides, I'm the successor of the Horizon Sect. Didn't you want to marry because of that too? You want to feel what it is like to be part of the strongest, powerful, and influential people, don't you?"
Gilda was baffled. "Is that really what you think? Do you think of me as someone who is greedy for power? I just can't believe it. I love you so much but that is how you think of me."
Frederick went on to say, "Sigh. I was really hoping we could be married. We really do make a good couple together, but you are not worthy to be my wife anymore. I want a wife who is beautiful, gifted, and complete. You're not the only one who is beautiful and gifted. So why should I settle with you?"
