Hearing that, Lathel felt reassured. Ryne then continued: "There are 3 days left until the academy's resumption, you can prepare a little in advance. I will have the servants buy you some necessary items as well as let you visit the magic academy first."

Lathel nodded: "So... I won't refuse anymore. But I have also said previously, I do not have magic talent, if my results at the magic academy are not good, I hope you will not be disappointed at that time."

"Hahaha..." Ryne smiled and said: "Of course I won't be disappointed. Lathel, life is about new experiences. I hope that you will be like everyone else and have many experiences in life."

Lathel completely agreed with Ryne. He wanted to come to this world and not be reincarnated on Earth because he wanted new experiences.

He wanted to find things that were more wonderful, magical, and interesting than Earth.

Lathel glanced at Lafien and saw her holding the D-Rank light elemental stone tightly, she did not want to let it go, and this amused him.

At this moment, he had a completely different view of Ryne.

The party took place happily, and everyone chatted with each other with ease. In fact, only Lathel, Lafien, and Ryne were talking to each other.

What about Charlotte? She was, of course, learning to use her eating utensils to enjoy the delicious food.

Lafien also seemed to have completely let go of her negative thoughts about nobles. Lathel felt that she was easy to fool, as just a light stone could win her sympathy.

However, that was fine, he didn't need to worry that Lafien would cause any trouble because of her hatred of nobles.

As for why she hated them, Lathel thought it was probably because of Lafien's church.

...

At the same time, during the successful promotion party of Marquis Mardian M. Montague, Malina's father.

In a large hall, everyone was wearing evening gowns, and classical music was playing, making the atmosphere even more luxurious.

At this time, a man wearing a black magician's robe stood on a platform that looked down into the hall. He held a glass of wine in his hand and spoke loudly.

"Gentlemen, Ladies... Thank you for coming to my promotion party."

Immediately after that, applause rang out continuously, which stopped about two minutes later.

That's right, that man is Mardian M. Montague, also known as Mardian.

He looked around, laughed, and said words that were often heard in meaningless speeches.

Below, the children of Mardian stood together and glanced towards Malina.

Today, Malina was wearing a snow-white dress, her blonde hair was let loose down her back, she had a black hairpin on her head, and high heels were on her feet.

She was like a doll on display at this moment, as she was full of beauty and innocence.

"Look.. that whore's daughter also came; now the atmosphere will stink."

Mardian frowned when he heard that, but he thought for a moment and then said: "What do you mean... in-laws?"

"That's right. Father, you are indeed very wise." Madiam smiled and said: "Recently, there are a few Viscounts who want to marry concubines. Even though these viscounts are quite old and their positions are just viscounts, for someone like Malina, marrying a viscount is a great thing."

Malina clenched her fist until it turned white, she looked at Madiam with hatred, then looked at Mardian for help.

But Mardian didn't pay attention to her. He rubbed his chin in thought, then said: "Madiam, that's a bit wrong."

Hearing that, Malina breathed a sigh of relief. Madiam immediately said, annoyed: "Why?"

"Madiam, after all, I am a Marquis, letting Malina marry a Viscount is a bit wrong. At the very least, it must be an Earl."

Madiam happily said: "Father, you are right. Tomorrow I will prepare Malian's documents to send to the Earls who want to marry concubines immediately."

"After all, she has been sucking the blood of our family for so many years. Letting her marry an Earl and help us develop some businesses is also the right thing to do."

Mardian nodded: "You're right..."

Malina couldn't control herself anymore, she was so angry that she wanted to scold everyone here. But Malina knew that doing so was useless.

Finally, she revealed her pitiful face, tears falling from her face like rain: "Father... I... I don't want to get married."

"Father... I... I am a magician, and my teacher also said that I have the potential to reach level 60. At least... give me time, I will try."

"Besides... I don't want to leave my family. I want to be by my father's side to help him and to help our family develop."

"Huh! Don't look pitiful." Madiam smiled coldly, his words revealing both contempt and anger: "You just want to stay in the family to continue enjoying father's resources."

"Brother!" Malina cried and said, "Why do you say that?" The resources the family distributed to me are the least among all the other brothers and sisters."

"I know... I'm just your illegitimate child. I don't deserve many resources, so I've never complained to you about this."

"I'm just the daughter of a dirty woman. Being in this family is extremely wonderful, so I don't dare ask for anything more."

"I just want to stay here forever, contribute to the family, and help my father be able to break through to a higher level with peace of mind."

Malina's words made everyone around her feel touched.

"You..." Madiam gritted his teeth, he didn't think Malina could make everyone so emotional.

"Father..." Malina raised her head, her eyes wet, tears flowing out of her eyes like rain, and her face full of pity as she said: "Am I so useless?"

"My teacher said that my talent is very good, I have a chance to break through to level 60 as a magician. So, I can help you a lot."

"Father... please don't abandon me the way you abandoned my mother."

Mardian was startled when he heard that, his face surprised as if he had just remembered something. He sighed and shook his head. He was about to say something when another voice rang out.

"Father, do you still trust your own son?" The person talking was a pretty woman in a black dress, with long black hair flowing down her back.

However, this woman was wearing black lipstick, which made her give off a somewhat... mysterious aura.

"Mavis, do you have any comment?" Mardian saw Mavis and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are the smartest person, you are also the one who has helped me manage a lot of business. Mavis, I want to hear your opinion."

When Malina saw Mavis appear, she was worried. Of course, she knew what kind of person Mavis was. However, she didn't know what Mavis was planning to do, so she could only wait silently.

Mavis glanced at Malina, smiled and said: "I feel... we should have a bet."
