The Genius Mage - Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Prayer
“I’m not sure. I heard that…”
The guard hesitated for a moment before carefully glancing at Kate.
As Kate’s personal guard for more than ten years, he naturally knew that young master Kate’s feelings for miss Audrey were genuine.
“Heard what?” Kate asked coldly. He vaguely realized that something was amiss.
“I heard that the reason miss Audrey is like this is to take revenge on the family for sending her to a political marriage.”
The guard said it out loud. Even if he did not say it, the young master would find out sooner or later.
“What!”
Kate’s expression froze. Political marriage alliance? The family wants to send Audrey to be wed off?
In order to deal with the five families’ grand competition, he had been cultivating in seclusion for the past few months. He had never left the house.
Therefore, he did not know anything about the family.
“Not long ago, the family council decided to send miss Audrey to marry the Fairlie family. And… and…” The guard hesitated.
“And what?” Kate said coldly.
“And she will marry the third young master of the Fairlie Family,” the guard said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Kate’s expression instantly turned extremely dark.
The third young master of the Fairlie family was the most famous retard in Spark City!
By doing so, the family was pushing Audrey into the fire pit.
Moreover, the fact that the Fairlie family had sent a foolish son to marry the direct descendant of the Davis family was clearly disrespectful to the Davis family.
Kate knew very well that the reason why the family had agreed to this marriage and did not hesitate to lose a bit of face. It was most likely because they had taken a fancy to the rapid development of the Fairlie family over the years.
Over the past few years, the Fairlie family could be said to be the most dazzling family in Spark City. Their development momentum was quite fierce. There were many talented people and experts in their family.
In a few more decades, the Fairlie family would surpass the current number 1 family in Spark City and become the new head of the five great families.
“Those ignorant old things in the parliament.”
Kate fiercely cursed. To be in the Fairlie family’s good books, they would even push their own clansmen into the fire pit.
The guard lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He could see that his young master was in a terrible mood and was on the verge of erupting. Otherwise, the usually gentle and refined young master would not have done such a thing as insulting the elders.
“Where is my father? I’ll go find him.”
Kate could not hold it in any longer and immediately went to find his father.
The guard looked at Kate’s back and shook his head slightly. It was useless. Although young master Kate’s father was also an elder of the parliament, this matter was not something that one or two elders could change.
Even if their direct line of descent fully supported Audrey, it would be difficult to change her situation.
…
“Father, I’ve rarely begged you, but you must help me with this matter.”
Kate knelt on the ground, pleading with his father.
The elder of the first branch of the Parliament, Kate’s father, Ferri, was helpless at this moment.
His son was very outstanding and had always been his pride. In the large Davis family, his son Kate’s talent could be ranked in the top three, and it was almost certain that he would enter the high-level parliament in the future. There was even a high chance that he would become the patriarch of the new generation.
To be able to give birth to such a son, he was naturally very proud.
However, when it came to Kate liking Audrey, he had always disagreed and firmly opposed it.
As a father, how could he hope for his son to marry a woman like Audrey?
