Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 930 The Clark Family's Scheme
The Clark family was able to establish itself through marriage alliances, which naturally made them quite moral in some respects. They wouldn't let their daughter, who had no management skills and didn't want to manage, marry off to harm their allies. In addition, the grandmother in Toronto wasn't very fertile... In the end, they simply chose the young baron Gezal, who was at least very wealthy.

Generally speaking, even the second son of a family with a title would not marry a beautiful but useless daughter from a prominent family, even if the dowry was extremely generous.

Without an heir, the title would simply have to be given away!
But the two brothers of the Gezar family happen to welcome this... Count Gezar wanted to annoy his younger brother, while Baron Gezar genuinely liked a wife who never asked him to be ambitious and had a generous dowry.

Moreover, although Baron Gezar was not very bright, he did not have the mindset that he absolutely needed to have a son.

As long as there is an heir, he doesn't need to worry about what happens afterward.

Even with her poor physique, Lady Clark, with her knightly talent, shouldn't be unable to have even one child; it couldn't even be called an adventure.

As for whether Agris can keep his title, that's up to Agris.

He just wants to have fun.

The Clark family has always been pragmatic, so after their daughter's death, they never contacted the unlucky and useless Baron Gezal again, nor did they pay any more attention to Lady Yages.

Mrs. Keages still told Toronto that the reason she had such a good life in the early years, and that she didn't have to bow her head when she met with Annes and the others, was because of the support of the Clark family.

Therefore, she hoped that Toronto would not target the Clark family while it was causing trouble in the capital.

But Clark might not necessarily have been against him!
Although she looked at Celie Costa with a nonchalant expression, Toronto was furious!
Celie Costa glanced cautiously at the imposing archmage in front of her. She wasn't particularly close to her family and didn't care whether the archmage had any designs on the Costa family. She just spoke quickly, afraid that she might accidentally get into trouble because of someone insignificant.

“The capital may not be as free, but it’s safer at least. Anyway, the Costa family has always been ostracized by Count Gezal, and everyone knows they have no connection.” She spoke quickly and logically. “Of course, if there really is a problem, I won’t know anything about it.”

My parents can only be described as a branch of the family, and even then, they were the kind of family that was rejected.

After learning that a grand illusion had appeared at the banquet hosted by Marquis Edwards, Chief Costa heard that although it was dangerous, it might also present an opportunity, so he asked me and a few others of similar status to go in and try it out first.

She gave a mocking smile: "However, even though we are all from different branches, I am still the lowest in status because I don't have a mother clan, so I was ostracized to this water maze."

Toronto stared at the log beneath her for a moment: "It seems you have your own reasons, and it's not that you really don't want to come here."

Celie Costa's eyes darted around twice, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face: "Ha~ that's because I saw the pile of logs covered by an invisible cloth next to the corridor."

"Perhaps someone in the Edwards family was trying to take advantage of this, so the invisible cloth was lifted up by a corner."

It probably has nothing to do with the Edwards family.

No large family would use only invisible cloth to hide some traces of decoration when hosting such a grand banquet.

It was probably done by the Lord of the Earth.

For him, it was just a matter of waving his hand.

Although his ideas are a bit strange, this person is actually quite kind at heart.

At least the possibility of someone daring to venture into the water maze without swimming and underwater breathing aids has been taken into account.

Furthermore, creating invisibility cloth is hardly a cost to the Goddess of the Night.

She may not necessarily consider these issues, but she will still care if anyone brings them up.

Toronto looked at her: "You know how you look..."

“She looks a bit like Countess Montes!” Celie Costa said without hesitation. “Ever since the Clark family saw me during my awakening ceremony when I was eight, I’ve been treated much better.”

Toronto stared at her for a moment: "It seems you're not very happy."

“I actually have quite a bit of talent, Mr. Mage.” Celie Costa’s lips twitched slightly downwards before she immediately regained her cheerful demeanor. “According to Costa’s original plan, we should each try our best for our own future first, and those who fail would have to accept the family’s arrangements and marry someone else.”

Although this isn't a good thing for me, at least I still have hope.

However, ever since it was discovered that I look like that lady, I... If I could use the wind-type knight's legacy to train my specialties before, after that, I could only train physical specialties.

I'm not stupid; I know why this is for.

The Clark family plans to send me out in a marriage alliance, although they say that if I perform well, they can make me a Clark.

"Then why are you being ostracized?" Toronto asked, somewhat puzzled.

Now that there are no competitors, shouldn't we treat her a little better?
After all, she looks like someone who can be of great use, and she might be able to help in some way in the future.

“You are looking at things from the perspective of a strong person.” Celie Costa shook her head and smiled bitterly. “But for those who are not particularly talented, the Clark family’s promise to me is actually a great thing.”

"To become a marquis's daughter without any effort... Ha~"

Feeling her throat was a little dry, the female knight swallowed twice in annoyance before speaking again: "No matter what those people plan to do with me, I can't resist, can I?"

This is the capital city; even an ant has a birth.

I accept my fate because I have no chance.

But if there is... I still want to try.

“The Clark family has hidden you very well,” Toronto said, seemingly ignoring the question. “Why would Costa send you out?” “I’m a failure,” Celie Costa said coldly. “Last month, a girl who was a better fit appeared.”

Moreover, it also attracted the attention of Count Montes.

She's very likely to get a marriage proposal from him; that girl is already a Clark.

Toronto's pupils dilated violently... He remembered that some time ago, when Fabrice sent a letter to Mrs. Yagris, he said that the Clark family had ill intentions and that she should be careful of what was going on behind her back.

So that's how it is.
"She looks a lot like you? Even more like you?" Toronto asked hesitantly.

“No, that’s not it.” Celie Costa shook her head. “We’re only similar in parts.”

The Clark family wouldn't dare to create someone who looks exactly like that archmage's mother.

But that girl was very beautiful.

Yes, she possesses the beauty of a girl from Jigzal, embodying all the virtues of her kind, and her temperament is as breezy as a breeze.

Toronto nodded...it really is beautiful enough.

But was the purpose of creating this woman simply to provoke Fabrice?

Even if she could become the Countess of Montes, what difference would it make?

Toronto cannot understand.

“I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but I think they’re courting death.” Celie Costa spoke rapidly. “The weak are the weak. Do they really think anyone can scheme against a high-level mage like that?”

I must break away from the Costa family, and ideally, no one should ever suspect I have any connection to the Clark family.

It seems this girl also believes that Clark's purpose in doing all this wasn't Fabrice.

Surely it couldn't be that they went there specifically for him, could it?

Toronto chuckled... What kind of man would be interested in a girl who looks just like his mother?!
It's understandable that Fabrice might waver. He and Mrs. Yages were both close and unfamiliar with each other, and he only ever saw her dignified, beautiful, and dashing side.

"What are you planning to do?" Toronto asked curiously.

Celie Costa flashed a bright smile: "Toronto Mage, you are the Grand Mage of the Palace!"

Please help me out, since I've been so open and honest with you.

This girl really does have the air of the Gezhar ladies.

“Pat is here too.” Toronto looked at her with a half-smile.

"I don't want to become a cult member unless I'm forced to."

"At least you can still regret other things," Celie Costa replied sincerely.

This girl is really smart, and she's also quite well-informed.

At least I know what this fake identity in Toronto is for.

No wonder she specifically emphasized Clark's situation... So far, the position of Chief Mage of the Court still belongs to Alsaran, Lori Montes' teacher.

Regardless of Toronto's status, as a monk, he couldn't possibly lack ambition.

Knowing that the Star Fortress of Al-Saran is about to set sail, Toronto, whose strength is clearly nearing its limit, will definitely want to cultivate a relationship with that archmage.

"You're really well-informed!" Toronto said with a smile.

“When the Clark family valued me, the Costa family opened their large study to me,” Celie Costa replied without blinking. “If I’m not stupid, I’ll definitely study it thoroughly.”

Even if I were sold, I hope I would remain fully aware of everything.

Even if it's painful, she must remember all her enemies, and even more so, potential allies.

"Although I don't know what's so special about the girl the Clark family chose, you certainly have Miss Gezar's style," Toronto offered a sincere compliment.

“Really?” Celie Costa smiled genuinely. “That would be my honor.”

But beauty is certainly more convincing.

A flash of blue light suddenly appeared on Toronto's bracelet.

After he took out the crystal plate and placed it on the plate, he saw a line of text: "I think I know who it is."

Tiffany Clark has converted and become a nun.
