Bab 108: Not Evil (Part 1)

Lex did not bother hiding her happiness, and said, "I like it. It’s just that I find this robe a little too conspicuous."

"As long as you like it, you don’t need to care about what others think. Lex, you may be the youngest sorcerer in the empire. You must get used to being different from the rest," Joey said in an old-fashioned tone completely unlike his youthful appearance.

"Alright, but I have to go back now. My father is going to a meeting and I have to be there too." Lex became a little frustrated when she thought of the issue of establishing the county. She did not want to agree to it, but if she did not, then the Cloudflow Empire ambassador was likely to ask for her hand in marriage when he arrived. Then, things would get extremely awkward for her.

Sacrificing her entire life for the empire? Lex had not thought about that before. As a mage, it would be very pathetic of her if she could not control her own destiny.
