Pretending to ponder for a moment, Godfrey put on a troubled face and said, "Coincidentally, Finnian came by today with the same thing in mind-talking about marriage. And he mentioned his favorite protégé."

Then Godfrey shifted the conversation to Finnian, "Isn't that right, Master?"

Wasn't Vivienne the master's favorite disciple?

Finnian shot a glance at his disciple, who was as cunning as a fox, hiding schemes behind every hair on his head, and another who was so simple-minded it was almost infuriating.

Gritting his teeth and against his better judgment, he nodded, "Indeed, my disciple may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's the one I see the most potential in."

He almost stumbled over his words but managed to keep his composure.

As long as today's event went smoothly, he could retire in peace.

Otherwise, the boy's wailing could drive a man to madness!

Leopold had many qualities, but his tendency to burst into tears at the drop of a hat was something Finnian genuinely dreaded.
