Returning to his mountain domain from Bera City, Hudson was immediately swarmed by a group of minor nobles who had heard about his arrival.
To pay the "Repayment Tax" from their own pockets, regardless of the amount, was certainly unpleasant, let alone when it was levied excessively.
"In regard to the repayment tax's allocation, we've borne a whole forty percent more, Count. This action hasn't gone through the Provincial Noble Council. If you, Count, take the lead, we can surely veto this illegal decision inside the council!
If this happens, you'd be considered our saviour, and in the next term, you'd surely be the Governor..."
Watching the bombastic performance of the old man, Hudson used a magic shield to protect himself from his spittle.
Deceiving people also requires some planning, huh!
