Saleen did not take Viscountess Lex’s words to heart. The Qin Empire was strict but they were generous with mages. In the capital, it was hard for mages to meet with any danger.
Moreover, Bitter Water Prefecture was not close to any borders, and even if they met with any bandits on the way to the capital, they would be mere small fry. Any who saw the viscountess’ army would have fled a long time ago, and a mage would not be necessary.
However, Viscountess Lex seemed to be taking this very seriously. She sent people to measure the body sizes of Saleen and Sika and carefully asked for the needs of Sika and Nailisi. Hence, Saleen did not stand by ceremony. If a war truly was about to break out, for the sake of self-defense, he could not do nothing either. Since Bitter Water Prefecture had plenty of money, he might as well help himself.
