I never expected things to escalate this much.

It’s not that it’s bad that things are going like this right now...

But it seems that not everything goes the way I want it to.

“Sebastian, say it again. What’s happening in the rural villages right now?”

Sebastian looked at me with a somewhat confused expression and replied again.

“Across the rural villages of Toscana, there have been an overwhelming number of petitions this harvest season requesting to hold a Thanksgiving and Imperial Appreciation Festival. Additionally, I’ve heard that every week, during mass, the people are voluntarily gathering money and praying for His Majesty.”

“I understand that they’re grateful for the tax reduction, and I get why there’s an Imperial Appreciation Festival. But to think that masses are being held in various places for His Majesty?”

If only a few regions were experiencing this, I wouldn’t have been so surprised.

But the truth is, similar petitions are being submitted in every village across the country, and with the Emperor reducing taxes by 10%, he has become the representative of all serfs and the poor.

So, if you asked whether things are going in the direction I intended...@@novelbin@@

I’d say my goal has been achieved, but it’s just gone a bit too far.
