Linius looked at Cygnus's direction and shook his head. If the magic tower assigned people to watch and report his every move, then they can't risk it. The tower would know and would use this as an excuse to accuse Ginehart. It was known in the kingdom that even though the tower and Ginehart had no alliance of sorts their relationship was also not good.
For some reason, Ulysses did not want to associate himself with the mages from the tower but was rather accepting of those who hadn't registered yet. He can also close an eye while dealing with those who were close with the Blackwell dukedom but personally he hated them. Mages from the tower tried crossing that line and, in the end, they were injured by the duke thus the tower did not try to make contact with the Ginehart dukedom ever again.
