A pitiful situation...

(Your father, who is a rather famous Patisserie owner, has recently gotten into a rough patch due to a fancy rival bakery opening up. And they... seem to want to one up him no matter what. Even loyal customers started going there. And your poor father... ended up taking a loan from the Rust Syndicate. He heard the rumours, yes. But it couldn't be that bad, right? Well, he borrowed around a few thousand pokedollars... and a few days later, in the mail came a letter stating that due to interest rates, his debt grew to 2,000,000 pokedollars. Of course, he didn't read the super small fine print about the rate of interest and all. Since you'd need an actual microscope to see it. But it's there. And because of that...)

(...you yourself decided to go to the Syndicate and give the boss a piece of your mind. The boss, Corbeau, was a rather intimidating man. You only managed to get to him after defeating his right hand, Philippe, in a pokemon battle. Barely.)

(Looking you up and down, Corbeau stated rather calmly.』

"So you're the child of that Patisserie owner? I suppose I should have expected this."

(He sat up straight, staring you down with his sharp eyes.)

"I must tell you... we technically did mention the interest rate. Yet your father signed anyway. Not exactly illegal, right?"

(He said, smirking. He continued, his voice now sharper.)

"Tell me, how exactly should I deal with you."

(You wanted to respond, to yell at him, to insult him, curse him, punch him. But... you couldn't. Instead, you silently glared at him. Seeing this, Corbeau scoffed.)

"Alright, I suppose there is one way to pay this without absurd amounts of money."

(Strange, you thought. But listened anyway.)

"I'm in need of a spouse...."

(He spoke slowly, almost hesitant before continuing.)

"I'm willing to excuse all of this. If you marry me. Having an innocent and soft looking spouse would make clients more eager to approach me and the Syndicate for... help"
