Editor: Starbuck11
It was a so above the head
A white cloud floats above the sky, while on the hill there were sorass
Tiently
Certainly, there was a threat of bandits or monsters in this world However, they rarely attacked the villages that had moats and fences around it
And the probability of such villages being attacked was only once or twice each year
Even when one lived in a world filled ar, it didn’t mean there was no place for peace
However, such small peace was easily broken by just a little malice
For sic value, the officials dispatched froovernment or the feudal lord are usually the one who threatened their peace
And now, in a sdory voices reverberates despite the peaceful landscape
A square set in the center of the village Villagers stood to forroup of the villagers directed their sight at the center of the ring
Or ers
“Please don’t joke with us… If you take more than this, on’t be able to live…”
Words of plea co interrupted by a dull sound
A big fist covered in love easily punched the man’s face
Taste of blood spreading inside the ed man’s mouth stains the earth black
“Father…”
Eyes irl shakes off her mother’s hand and jumps into the center
The young girl looked very young She herself knew that even if she ju However, the girl was still unable to ignore her father’s appearance
Looking at such beloved daughter, theher shoulder
In truth, the hter to see this kind of scene
(Why… Why is this happening ?!)
Various thoughts eed inside the man’s head
Certainly, when Lupis Rozerianus ascended the throne, everyone felt a wave of new transfore of the chivalric order, the people familiar with her would describe the Princess as someone with a fair personality
The man can still vividly reues when she became a Queen
If one needs to say, then indeed changes definitely happen However, the changes were not soood for the man
“I will say it again… When are you going to pay the taxes ?”
Froht that hit thecold words at the man who fell due to the punch
Individuals who loves to do even when they tramples over others
As a tax collector, the value of the man in front of him was his taxes
It was the same as hunters who didn’t care about their prey
“Of course, ill happily pay if we can… But, right now this is the limit…”
The ain were disturbed by a dull sound
His diaphragm was struck with a punch which caused the ht froain attacked
“Geez, you plebeians are truly beyond help… Are you truly that stupid ? I asked you when you’re going to pay I don’t want to hear your circumstances…”
In the merciless world of tax collectors, thebut spat out cursed words inside his mind
(da whatever you want…)
Dark s up inside the man’s heart In his mind, he wanted to stab the tax collector to death
In the first place, the man had no way to pay the sums the tax collector wanted him to do Even if the e
And thetaxes either
Since the man as previously a peddler understood that the Rozeria Kingdom was in crisis and needed more money
That hy he closed the store he had built
Originally, cash inconificant
Self-sufficiency was the basic for such villages, and to supple with other villages
They could only make cash if adventurers, es
To live in this villages it didn’t require much money Well, that was until the tax collector appeared at this village
(I’ve had even sold h now ?!)
It had all started with the slogan of rebuilding the country
Of course,
course, at first, everyone cooperated with it Since they placed high hopes to the new Queen, and they also loved the country
But, it didn’t end there… Once, twice, on and on, endless tax collectors came one after another… At first, it was just a sers’ lives, but itgradually escalated
Pressures started to build up
And anger also starts to swell inside the people’s heart
To be precise, if it was only once or twice, they would s didn’t ed man was to sell his family as slaves Otherwise, his family would have to move away and wander around without a home
(If I could earn ain ?)
Regrets and fear run throughout the man’s body
