[ After a moment, Jing Yuan so happens to take note of that little smile, and he holds back a chuckle.
It is rare that he finds himself surprised; whether in amusement or otherwise, so he supposes in the end this will be sectioned in the former. Though, that still remains brief, all the same, even with the little smile on his face. ]
The political climate is such that those who are not seen as conforming are treated as second-class citizens; I believe I made that point clear. Either way, those who practice magic are scorned upon, to the point of facing retaliatory action for simply being. Indeed, those who are wizards are viewed as sub-human, to the extent one's privileged status might even be in danger if there is a hint one can belong to such a category.
[ The rumors about the Blanchett heir's being a wizard, which seem to be whispers, has reached his ears. And though the people do not make chats easy, it's easy to view what consequences occur should one reveal themselves to be a mage in their presence. That too is a form of information gathering. ]
I still assert that the laws encourage such discriminatory behavior and cannot be viewed in any positive light. In fact, your own experience seems to suggest evidence as to why such governance is far too heavy-handed and nowhere near pleasant nor correct.
To that end, I will once again assert that their laws are draconian regardless of whatever original reasoning they had. I suppose if you were ignorant of their actions and what else was going on, in the end I cannot fault you for being hesitant to think the same.

But, consider yourself now in the know.
