Chapter 1419: Subtle Changes

"Let’s go."

"B-B-But..."

The two of them joined the dance floor and followed the steps. Despite the initial awkwardness, Leez had joined a group dance before, so she adjusted faster.

Obi, on the other hand, was completely clueless. For a while, he stood there like a dazed broat.

"Captain... you go like this..." Leez said, waving her hand and moving a bit along with the rest of them. Then she would wiggle her hips—just to follow. Obi was embarrassed at first but not to mention embarrassing himself in front of Oslo, now he couldn’t bear to lose face in front of the younger "man".

It was awkward at first until they somewhat became proficient with the steps and were able to follow them. They were both guards, so their reflexes weren’t bad, after all.

The two eventually let go of their inhibitions with the others, even if only for a bit, and soon smiles crept up their faces.

They moved their bodies and followed the beat and others, no longer caring if they made the wrong move. In fact, when someone made a mistake, they’d laugh together, making for an overall good time.

Well, except for when they neared some couples who were blatantly flirting. As conservative aborigines, a part of them were aghast.

Obi heard the flirtations surrounding him and couldn’t help but look at the smaller man dancing together with him.

Inexplicably, many memories with him floated up, and they were alarmingly clear to him.

Obi hadn’t really noticed ’him’ for a long time at first. Leez was one of those people who had been recruited from as early as 12 years old. In Bleulle, the population was closely monitored. Not every lord would check their population list so often—especially in cities where hundreds upon hundreds of thousands, if not millions—of people resided and stayed.

In Bleuelle, this was not the case. Rather, the Bleuelle Lord built and assigned a small team to monitor the population closely.

It required a bit of gold to give access to others, and this was charged per person and for a certain amount of time, so this department was limited in number. Not to mention, the Lords were suspicious people at their cores. How could they give this right to anyone comfortable?

In the end, a lot of those monitoring were slaves who barely got much rest. They were the perfect "eyes" because they didn’t have any power or leverage for holding such a right, they didn’t have to rest (at least in the nobles’ eyes), and they would follow everything the Lord wanted.

As one of the captains in the guard team, and as a Gold, he was privy to these things and had even seen this team once.

He assumed that Oslo told the Alterran Lord—whoever it was—about this, which was how they managed to build such intricate monitoring systems as early as Village Level.

At some point, their late training sessions meshed together and they became training partners even when it was just the two of them together. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
