"Your Majesty, with all due respect, giving up the Catalina Islands would be the end of My Empire. We would be struggling to make ends. The food prices are going to rise and millions of people are going to starve to death. Giving up the Catalina Islands isn't an option for me and for my people." The Methia Empire Jonathan sounded really righteous.
"Don't pretend as if you care about your people. If you really cared for your people, then you wouldn't have increased the tax rate in your Empire. You have been squeezing money from the common class people. If you lower the tax rate, then your people would be able to afford food and other commodities."
Hearing this Jonathan's face turned ugly. Whatever Aditya said just now was very true. In the whole continent, his Empire had the highest tax rate. Every year millions of people were sold as slaves due to high taxes.
"An....Anyway, I am not giving up the Catalina Islands." Jonathan also refused to give up his territory just like Lucas.
