When Malina heard the word \'bet\', her face turned pale because that word reminded her of what happened just this morning.
Seeing Malina\'s face become worried and filled with insecurity, Mavis crossed her arms, her face showing a smile: "What\'s wrong, Malina? You don\'t look very well. If you don\'t feel well, you can quietly listen to everyone\'s arrangements."
"Don\'t worry, I guarantee I will help you find a good man."
Mavis emphasized the latter sentence, making Malina even more angry and worried. Of course, Malina knew Mavis wouldn\'t actually find a good man for her.
Most of the Earls living in the capital Karol were the same age as Malina\'s father, some were even many times older than her father.
Thinking about this was enough to make Malina feel nauseous.
Malina tried to suppress her feelings of disgust, and said pitifully: "Sister Mavis, don\'t joke. How can I bet with you, I\'m just a weak girl, right now, the resources in my hand are not enough for me to support a servant."
"Hahahaha…" Mavis laughed loudly: "Malina, don\'t sell yourself short. In recent years you have depended on our family a lot, this morning you even accepted a country boy as your knight."
"Malina, it seems you are very rich. You dared accept a stranger as a knight without getting father\'s approval, it seems... in your eyes, father\'s position is not high, right?"
"No!" Malina trembled and said: "Sister Mavis, don\'t joke. I... I just didn\'t want father to worry about me. Besides… that person…"
"Stop talking nonsense." Mavis shouted: "Malina, if you don\'t accept this bet, then tomorrow, your profile will be provided to the Viscounts for them to choose from."
Madiam now smiled disdainfully: "Mavis, you think too highly of Malina, will a Viscount marry a prostitute\'s daughter? I think… just ordinary nobles can buy her."
"If no one buys her, we will sell her directly to a brothel. I believe that with that whore\'s beauty, her price must be very high."
Malina bit her teeth, her hands clutching her dress so tightly that they wrinkled, but she still tried to control her emotions.
Indeed, Malina seemed to be a born actress. In just a few seconds, she adjusted her emotions to the point that no one noticed her change.
Malina said mournfully: "Father... I... I am your illegitimate child, so I know my status is low. That\'s why I don\'t ask for anything and accept every humiliation."
She cried as she spoke, her expression made everyone feel that she was pitiful.
"Father… should… shouldn\'t I live in this family? Do you want to abandon me like you abandoned my mother?"
"Malina…" Mardian said with a sigh.
Madiam suddenly interrupted: "Shut up! Your mother is just a shameless whore, who seduced my father because he is a noble."
"Fortunately for you, you are still alive in this family, and you are enjoying the protection and resources of this family, otherwise, I would have sold you to the slave traders a long time ago."
"Enough!" Mardian shouted, and everyone fell silent: "Today is supposed to be a happy day. You guys are constantly saying bad things about the family. Do you think it\'s fun to do so?" Is it so glorious?"
The children of Mardian all bowed their heads silently, as all of them were scared. After all, Mardian was still very strong, and he was even a high-level magician.
If he wanted to, cutting off the resources of one of his children would be a piece of cake.
Mardian looked at Mavis, frowned and said: "Mavis, you have disappointed me very much. You are the person I think is the smartest in the family."
"I also wanted to let you manage the family business in the future, but today, what you did made me very disappointed."
"Father…" Mavis raised her head and quickly explained: "listen to me."
"Hm?! If you\'re going to say something bad about Malina, then shut up, I don\'t want to hear anything anymore." Mardian shouted.
When his children saw that he favored Malina, they became even angrier, they felt unfair in their hearts and silently cursed Malina.
"Father… up until now, Malina has enjoyed a lot of resources and protection from our family…" Mavis said slowly, a confident smile on her face.
"As you know, Malina has great potential. She was also told by her magic teacher that she has great potential to become a level 60 magician."
"However, what level has she reached now? She\'s not yet level 20…"
"Sister Mavis…" Malina said weakly: "That\'s because the resources I receive are very few, and not enough for me to develop my magical energy."
"Hahaha… Malina, you said… the resources you receive are very few, right?"
"That\'s right…" Malina replied while trembling.
Mavis smiled and said: "So… I remember that in Karol Academy there are also many quests that can help you gain more resources, but you don\'t seem to participate in any of them."
"That\'s because …"
"In addition." Malina was about to say something but Mavis immediately interrupted and continued: "In the magic academy, there are many rumors, saying that you seduced several male magicians, and took a lot of resources from them."
"Most recently, a magician gave you 5 2-star energy pills. Malina, 5 2-star energy pills, are enough for you to practice for 5 months and easily level up to level 20."
"But in the end, you were still slow to reach level 20. But here you are giving me and father a reason so we can continue providing resources to a lazy and weak person like you?"
"I…" Malina gritted her teeth, she wanted to explain something when Mardian\'s voice rang out again.
"Malina, answer Mavis\'s question." Mardian\'s eyes were full of anger and annoyance. He really didn\'t want to believe that Malina was seducing other men.
Malina cried and said extremely pitifully: "Father, you must believe me. I... how could I do such things? You also know that my appearance is similar to my mother\'s, and I can easily attract men."
"That\'s why they constantly come to flirt with me, but I refused them all, and focused on training so that I could be useful to the family and to you."
"Of course, they came to flirt with me and also gave me some gifts. Because the family\'s resources are very limited, I have to accept those gifts and try my best
Malina always included her mother in her words, to make Mardian remember her and feel a little guilty.
He sighed and said: "Mavis, you can continue."
Mavis also knew that Mardian was remembering the whore who seduced her father, Malina\'s mother, so she could only continue angrily.
"Father… Like I said, let\'s make a bet. After all, Malina is your child, even though she hasn\'t helped this family in any way, she should still show a little gratitude."
"As long as... she gives you a gift, and the value of that gift is not lower than the gift Madiam just gave you we\'ll treat her better."
Hearing Mavis speak, Malina suddenly felt much more confident. Anyway, Alec promised that he would give her a surprise, and besides, Alec once possessed some \'Original Spirit Water\', so his gift certainly wouldn\'t be too bad.
However, from the \'bets\' incident in the morning, Malina still felt a bit worried, she looked towards Mardian with eyes asking for help.
But Mardian didn\'t pay attention to her this time. He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment then said: "Good! Malina, I think this bet is quite good."
"Dad!" Malina exclaimed in horror: "Father, I am in a family that has not received many resources, how can I have enough assets to buy a gift like Mr. Madiam?"
Hearing that, Mardian also felt that this was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Mavis said it very reasonable, Malina also has her own reasons. Well then… Malina, I\'ll offer another bet."
"If you can offer a gift worth half the value of the gift Madiam just gave me, then you win."
"If you win, the resources distributed to you by the family from now on will be equal to those of your brothers and sisters."
"Dad!" Hearing that, Madiam quickly spoke: "You..."
"Silence!" Mardian shouted, causing Madiam to immediately silently bow his head with anger.
Mardian continued: "If Malina loses... then from now on, she is no longer a member of this family."
Malina was startled, her whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, her eyes blankly looked at Mardian: "Father... why..."
"I have decided, I won\'t say it again." Mardian firmly spoke, there was no mercy in the way helooked at Malina.
"Malina, this is your chance. If you win, you can escape being bullied , and your status will also increase, becoming equal to your brothers and sisters."
"You can even compete for the position of family leader in the future."
"But… if you lose, from now on, you and I will become strangers again. The resources and protection I have provided you until now are enough for my apology to your mother."
Malina\'s face was pale like an anemic patient, the thing she was most worried about had finally come.
"Hahahaha…" Madiam now laughed loudly: "Malina, you are very lucky, the opportunity for you to become an official member of the family is right in front of you."
"What\'s wrong? Aren\'t you happy?
"Don\'t worry, I only spent about 600,000 gold coins to buy that two-colored elemental stone."
"Ah! I forgot, every month you only receive 1,000 gold coins, how can you have enough money to buy something like that?"
"Hahahaha…"
Madiam\'s laughter filled with contempt echoed throughout the hall. Of course, mixed in with his laughter was the laughter of Malina\'s siblings.
Although 1,000 gold coins a month is a large number for normal families.
But for magicians, it\'s just a small number, not worth mentioning.
Items and resources for magicians are extremely expensive. It is normal for a low-level magician to even need more than 10,000 gold coins a month.
Therefore, it was completely impossible for Malina to take out an item worth 300,000 according to the bet.
Malina clenched her fists, as she looked at the people around her as if trying to remember their faces.
"A group of people oppressing such a poor girl, is this the way the Montague family does it?"
