"It has already been three years since the last I visited the peasants to suppress their fits of anger," Édouard said with a disappointed look.
"The landlords are not ready to lower the taxes. Also, the nobility thinks it will reduce the revenue for us," Andrew asserted.

"Do not anger the nobility," Christian told him, "rest you are free to do anything to bring the stabilization between peasants and the landlords."
