Saleen gazed at the smiling faces in front of him. Other than Aini and Guya, the rest of the nobles were extremely satisfied with Saleen's terms. The entrapping plan was a success. What did a noble desire? A status which was in line with their ability.
Since Aini and Guya were mages, they knew what Saleen was trying to do. Their ideals were unlike the other nobles, they were not repulsed by Saleen's plan. Aini and Saleen were close friends and Saleen enjoyed a cordial relationship with Aini's parents. On the other hand, Guya's sister was a valuable asset Saleen wanted to groom. In the future her accomplishments might not be inferior to Guya's. Saleen valued these two people the most.
They all understood that Saleen was actually in control of everything by having the mages under his control.
