If the previous day's news led some sensitive individuals to realize changes were coming in Gafura's political landscape, the news early the next morning confirmed it.
Because in the conflict that occurred yesterday, there were casualties.
Whether the Emperor of Gafura and his ministers are willing to admit it or not, they cannot avoid one point: a certain awareness and power at the bottom of society is awakening.
The education people receive, the knowledge they possess, the broadened horizons they have make them hold more mature ideas than in the past; they are no longer "ignorant masses," at least not entirely.
In the past, people's lives were perhaps just seasons of taking seeds from the hands of the nobility, working in the fields during the day, and toiling in the fields at night, striving for more fruits.
The former harvest could allow the farmers to enjoy a period of comfort, and the latter could enable them to live comfortably in their old age.
