Bab 5321: The Senechal

The week-long tour deepened Ves' understanding of Terran space and culture.

Although the Terrans and the Devosans in particular weren't as wealthy or advanced as the mechers, the rulers of the New Constantinople System still possessed enough capital to make their superstate proud.

At least that was the case on the surface.

While the Devosans tried their best to project strength and class, Ves couldn't help but notice that he only got a cursory look at the local armed forces.

Even then, his tour guides only led him to the bases of the most elite and well-equipped mech unit stationed on the planet.

Perhaps Ves wouldn't have been able to notice these details if he possessed his old mindset, but now that he understood the greater truths, he became perceptive enough to spot the gaps.

The Devosans were highly perceptive and could analyze a lot from the behavior of their guests.
