A young female mage behind Tiffany coughed, then burst out in laughter. This female mage was clad in a white robe and was on horseback, she seemed to be Tiffany's student. Tiffany did not react to her impolite laughter or admonish her.
"Saleen didn't do anything wrong," Tiffany replied frostily, causing Irene to feel smug.
If Irene was not following Saleen she could not have possibly behaved so frivolously in front of Barde. The statuses of both people were too far apart. A duke from Holy Rock City's House of Commons was thousands of times mightier than a woman from an earl's family who had no inheritance rights. At the moment she was also a duke, although she was one who did not own any lands and had less than one-thousand soldiers.
Hearing Tiffany's words, Barde was abruptly startled, "Saleen is a grand mage, if he comes out to receive me, the sorcerer behind me would be offended!"
