The Genius Mage Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Hateful Council

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As a father, Calder naturally wanted his daughter to be happy.

All this while, he had always felt guilty toward Audrey.

As the patriarch, he was swamped every day and did not have much time to spend with her.

It could be said that he was an incompetent father. He did not protect Audrey well.

The identity of the patriarch’s daughter seemed to be prominent, but in fact, she had to bear more responsibilities than an ordinary person.

If Audrey were a genius girl, then everything would be completely different. Her identity would make her the star in the family. No one would dare to mock her, bully her, and only look up to her, and he could also use the patriarch’s privilege to use the family’s resources to nurture Audrey, treating her as the future successor of the family.

Unfortunately, Audrey’s talent was abysmal. She was destined to have no achievements in the future. If she could not control power, her status as the clan leader’s daughter would become a burden and a shackle for her.

“Why would you want me to marry them?” Audrey asked.

Although she had just arrived in this world, she had a certain understanding of the rules of this world.

Even if it was a political marriage, famous trash like her was not welcome. Other clans would not even look at her.

Especially the Fairlie family, who was able to get married to the Davis family. They were also a famous noble family in Spark City. How could they agree to marry a famous useless girl into their family?

It was not that Audrey liked to deny herself, but based on Audrey’s previous situation, she really did not even have the right to get married into a political marriage.

The marriage between the Davis family and the Fairlie family had a history of hundreds of years. The two families had constantly married each other.

Although the Davis family would never send out the top women in the family to form a marriage alliance, the ones they sent out would not be too bad either.

After all, this represented the face of the two wealthy families.

Calder hesitated slightly before saying with some difficulty, “Over at the family council, I hope that you can marry the third young master of the Fairlie family, Marcy.”

Hearing this, Audrey searched for information about Marcy in her mind.

Soon, she got the answer.

Marcy was the third son of the patriarch of the Fairlie family. He was also very famous in Spark City, and his fame was similar to Audrey’s in the city.

She was famous for being disabled, while Marcy was famous for being stupid.

The family council actually asked me to marry a fool.

Audrey’s eyes were a little cold. She did not expect the family council to be so heartless.

Although she was a good-for-nothing, she was at least a normal person.

The third son of the Fairlie family, Marcy, was born with a mental disability. He could not even take care of himself.

Marrying her to that kind of person was equivalent to ruining her life.

Furthermore, she was the daughter of the patriarch. Her status in the family was special. If she really married a famous fool in the city, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to her father, Calder.

At this moment, Audrey was not an 18-year-old girl. With her many years of experience, she could already faintly smell a conspiracy.

Calder sighed softly. He said apologetically, “Audrey, I was severely opposed to this matter and will never allow you to marry such a person. However, the power of the clan council is above mine, so you must marry as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will be in a difficult position.”

Calder could not tell his daughter about the internal conflicts in the family. Audrey, as a young girl, would not understand either.

On the family level, Audrey was just a sacrifice in the internal power struggles in the family.

Or rather, Audrey was a tool used by some forces in the family to attack Calder.
