A Special Reward?

"A special reward? What kind of reward."

"Well that is what I had to talk to my family about. And to be honest I don't know how to feel about the reward my daughter wants to give you, but she seems to insist, and my wife seems to approve. So it seems I have almost no choice."

"So... What is this supposed reward. Now you really have me curious."

"Its ME!" Said Hope as she jumped at Vance with her arms spread wide.

"What? What do you mean?" Vance said as he extended his arms to catch her and prevent her from hitting the ground.

"My daughter means exactly as she says. She wanted to give herself to you as she felt that you already own her life."

"Wait. Hope you think I own your life? How the hell does that even work. I saved you yeah but I don't think that means I own you. So explain Hope."

"Well Sir Vance, those bandits were planning to sell me off right? They wanted to give me away to some sick bastard, some twisted ugly asshole. And I don't think anyone can say what exactly that bastard would do to me. Torture me, rape me, beat me, humiliate me. The list of things goes on and on. And you saved me from that possibility. You saved my life. You saved me from a lifetime of abuse. So I want to dedicate my life to you. I want to be yours." Hope said as tears began to form in her eyes.

"... And you're serious about this? You really want that? You really want to give your whole life, all of it, to me?"

"Mhm, why wouldn't I Sir Vance. It basically just means I wanna marry you." Hope said as she began to giggle.

"Uhh. Okay, I guess?"

"So Vance will you take good care of our daughter?" Asked Lucy, Hope's mother.

"Of course. If she says it with that much confidence then I might as well."

"Wait!" Said Jess

"Hmm, what is it sis?"

"Include me too."

"... What?" Asked a confused Vance.

"I too will be Vance's bride. I have to make sure that he takes care of my little sister."

"I'm only a few seconds younger than you Jess. You don't have to treat me like a baby."

"It may be only a few seconds but you're still my little sister. So I'm gonna go with you to make sure that he treats you right."

"Uh. Sis I don't know if you realize but that would also subject you to his whims."

".... I also think he's very handsome..." Jess said with her face turning red.

"To be honest, I'm kind of lost already. This is a pretty cliché development but I don't really see any downsides for me. So I guess I'll take Jess too?" Said a very confused Vance.
