The Redcliffe patriarch was always had supported his daughter for being the one and only inheritor of his blood and to take the Codex to its ultimate completion .
Once upon a time ,
There was a man who wanted the best for her daughter .
His daughter had everything talent , money , and love for the Codex . She grew up to become a very beautiful women .
Men were so stunned by her beauty that they made many moves on her .
But they were left in the dust for she shared a dream with her father . To finish the Codex .
Her talents and beauty attracted many suitors . But they were always turned down . Even the patriarch supported in her endeavours. But one day the patriarch received something unusual . It was one of the most prominent mage families. Asking for their hand of their daughter for marriage .
The patriarch declined .
That's when it started first threats came , then personnel started going missing , equipment storage burned up , companies put their relation on hold . Even the Codex was taken offline for a day . The turning point came when the familial bonds started breaking because of it .
The entire family turned against the patriarch in opinion . And if it was too late then , fights and factions might have emerged and leading to the dissolution of a family with a very long and rich history .
In front of the patriarch there were only two choices . Give up your family or daughter. This decision would haunt him even in his sleep . Because he didn't want to give up anything .
So the patriarch's decided to take the matters in his own hand . He tried to get his daughter get engaged somewhere else. So she could avoid her fate . But she was rejected all of them . He tried to convince her but she didn't even listen .
He tried to lodge complaint on the Walker family . Even tried getting an appointment of the third Head or their disciples .
But getting their appointment was like once in a blue moon .
So he thought that he might have to end everything as even an attempt to take his life was made .
The patriarch was very pressurized and one day when he saw Jay's face on the medal of Honor he had a spark of an idea.
After the field trip he had his eye on Jay . As he was his daughter's friend . So to avoid any bad influences he had his eye on him .
And things happened . He called the authorities on the son of the sword saint . His attitude with the saint. And something that happened when Ray who was trying to kill Jay suddenly went silent . It was like a mad dog was tamed .
And he always kept the institute authorities on edge .
But it seems like they were helpless .
A being unmoved by any of the authorities. That's what the patriarch wanted . So to get his attention he pushed his daughter into the marriage. As as things were going to work out Rena finally confided to Jay .
And Jay finally took on Axos . But no one could have known he was involved with the Abyss . Even Phoenix came running when Jay called him. And he has been under interrogation for 4 hours.
The episode winded up both of them were stopped before any major destruction could take place . And the marriage chapter drew to a close .
And the patriarch stopped Jay before he take on a harsh step .
Patriarch retained his poker face but he was smiling behind that face .and the chapter drew into a close .

Jay at the third Head's office .
Phoenix :
So enemies are within us as well .
Jay:
If the patriarch had not stopped me . I would have returned him to the abyss myself .
Phoenix :
Well why not hear it from him .
The door opened and the Redcliffe patriarch came inside the office .
Immediately the Redcliffe bowed his head before the Third head .
Patriarch :
I bow to the supreme power , the strongest and the wisest beneath the heavens .
Jay :
That is one corny line .
Phoenix :
I was also like this on my first day and you were supposed to be too . But that ship has also sailed .
Jay stood up from his seat and then he bowed
Jay :
Greetings wise and the almighty one standing equal to the heavens , I bow to the King of Men hailing supreme with his intelligence and power .
I have come here for I hope to receive your grace which will enlighten my life . I come to empower my faith in your almighty soul.
King :
You may rise ,Last Disciple of the Fire King and the Man of Steel . You don't need to bow , you're a part of us now .
Phoenix :
Redcliffe family patriach , i believe you owe him an explanation .
Patriarch :
Jay , I am sorry for involving you in my plot .
Jay :
Plot?
Patriarch :
I was using you as a pawn to bring down the Walker family.
I know I was wrong but I was doing this for my daughter's and my family's sake .
Jay :
Whey didn't you come directly to me . Or asked Rena for me . Inwould have done it for her .
Patriarch :
Because of pride . If I show any weakness the daggers in my back will be stabbing me deeper than before. The high society they're nothing but poison using assasins .
Jay ;
I never held any grudge against you . Even then i forgive you .
Jay had already cooled off . Even though he was being led on he was a pawn . His anger had died for the time being.
Jay :
Also thanks for the advice yesterday. It was like you said I was surrounded by many . And I just couldn't handle .it
Jay :
So how are you going to repent . You most feel really worse don't you .
Patriarch :
Yes . I would like to offer my support . No matter what you do we shall offer our full support .
Jay :
So are you pledging your alligiance to me
Patriarch :
No , I am proposing an alliance
Jay :
What are the terms of the alliance .
Jay once signed a document without reading . Now he won't do it again. A lesson ingrained in him .
Patriarch :
I the patriarch of the Redcliffe family will support you in your endeavours . We will provide you with financial support as well as helpnyou navigate you through the social maze .
As well as standby any decision you make .
Jay :
An alliance , means you want something from me right.
Patriach:
I want you to lend us your strength . So we can stand on par with the other families .
Phoenix who was responsible for managing the very society . Was seeing something that can definitely profit the Redcliffe family in many more ways than one .
It was not about standing on par with other companies or families. But if Jay would lend his strength it would upset the balance .
And it would be a lot of hassle to balance them again .
Phoenix :
I thought you were here to fulfill your penance . How do you make deals like that before us.
Jay :
I don't want any alliance . Everything I did was for her . And I already have my hands full wokring under Lord Phoenix
Phoenix has been called a Lord by many . By respect , love , compassion .But Phoenix never batted an eye even once .
But it would be the first time that hearing the title of Lord would make him smile .
With this the patriarch finally took his leave and the incident came to an end .
King :
We have received an official summon from the Judge .
An angel had descended from the heavens to deliver a notice at the Foundation ruled areas . It was picked up by the men and the contents were then relayed to the office .
King :
This is about the island they want to decide who's guilty for the island incident. And they also want us to handover the island god .
And Jay you will be standing as a special witness .
King ;
Finally the day is upon us . Humanity will be descending into a state of total war.
King ;
Phoenix make the final checks . And prepare accordingly everyone will be now working overtime.
Increase production . And handle the rest .
And Jay pack your bags . Were going to ascend.
War with the divine is upon the lands . Danger resides on all sides . The walls close in continuosly and now has devouvered Chroma . Apparitions from abyss spawn . And attack the foundation controlled areas .
The story moves towards the end
