Finally, we reached the old building, my father held my right hand tight, and we walked in together.
It was an old two-story building, outside of it was covered with non professional paint jobs, side of the walls were chipped...
Inside the building, there were assistants, messengers, guards, accountants, tax collectors, clerks...
The clerks and accountants were people dressed in black three-piece suits, vests, white shirts, a tie, and a top hat.
The guards were attired with a uniform consisting of dark-coloured coats with brass buttons, a hat, and a pair of gloves.
The assistants were in a simple coat of black, and hats.
The clerks were doing something, they were doing some files while my father ignored them, then we went near a closed room, My father knocked on the door.

A girl in a beautiful dress came near us, she was the assistant of the Tax Commissioner.
She was attired in a top hat, a black suit, along with a red tie on her neck.
She had a not perfect but good build, she looked pretty and kind.
She opened her mouth and asked us,"Are you looking for the commissioner?".
My father replied yes, that we were looking for him.
She then told us that, he was not available till next week, so if we had anything important then to telegrafh it to him or write him an letter.
She then told us to come back next week to meet with the Tax Commissioner, if it was not anything of that much of importance, or if we wanted to pay our taxes now, we could pay the tax with the accountants.
My father, then together with me, went near an accountant and he then from his pocket took out 24 medium coins, he then placed them on the tray kept on the desk, the clerk then took the bronze coins with the imprint of Torch, after carefully checking them, he told with an assistant who was carrying files, to bring the records.
As he was filling them he sighed and said,"It's all because of that damned treaty", he said this in a low but tired voice.
...
After the painful process, we returned home.
The sky was already dark, nothing special was to be happening so we went to bed, but before going to bed we had our dinner.
The dinner was nothing special but was just a normal stew.
***
Lione Herfelt an author, was sitting in a plane, it was not a private jet, nor a first-class ticket, nor a business class, but a premium economy class ticket.
Premium Economy ticket was just plain old economy but with some extra leg room.
...
The air hostess was pushing a trolley, it had pre-packaged food and some unappetisingly cooked food.
The author named Lione, thought to herself, "I should have booked a business class ticket, no, I should have never used this dumb airline in the first place".
The attendant then came near Lione.
Lione was then asked a question, the air hostess asked Lione with an annoying tone, whether Lione would like to have some food.
The flight ticket had cost Lione about 670 pounds, the ticket had already included her food.
Her trip was from, London to Kyoto.
Her journey was from London's Luche Airport to Yusha Airport located in Kyoto.
Lione was going to Japan, to research for her next novel.
The ticket was not paid by her publisher but from her own pocket.
Lione was publishing her books under the publishing of Wordings.
Wordings was an old company which was running for about from the last 200 years.
Now under the new management everything fell to ruin as the new management did not like the old ways of running the company by treating the authors in a good way.
Under the previous management, the ticket for the flight, the cost of research and all would been under them.
But this new management hated it so, the research cost, price of flight and all of those things will be under the authors.
She had no choice but to research about it as the management had the rights of her books and she could not go to any other publications for the next 30 years.

I woke up, I went and did my business, I wore one of the new clothes which I got.
In front of the mirror I striked some posses, I looked good.
I grinned, my little brother with my cat came near me.
And hugged me
...
I finally reached my school, today was the day when the Princess was supposed to come to my school.
The royal family consisted of the King, his majesty, the Queen, Her Majesty, the first Prince, Prince, the second Prince, and the eldest of the three, Princes.
...
The kingdom did not follow the tradition where the eldest Prince would become the Ruler, this type of selection was happening in the nearby kingdoms.
In the great kingdom Glorya, was following a tradition, where the fit one would be the inheriter of the throne.
The sons and daughters of the king and Queen had a chance to be the next Ruler.
In the kingdom only the last one who lived could be the next ruler.
At first, the three royal children would be the candidates for the ruling postion.
At that time the Princess was 17, and the First and Second Prince were 15 and 13 respectively.
The day of the fight was chosen, the day when the King was born, was it.
The candidates would fight against each other till one of them lived, or l, if the winner of the fight let their siblings live.
If any one of the nobles wished to give their children or their investments a chance for a spot being a candidate, then they could send the child to the fight.
But the child had to be under 14 and should not be trained in any way.
The child can't kill or injure any of the royal candidates, but the royal candidates can kill the child's sent by the nobles.
Because of this, no nobles would usually send their children to the unfair fight.
At the age of seventeen Princess Elene won the fight, her two younger brothers surrendered the fight, they were left to live.
As the three were very close to each other.
In the fight, there were five, and all five of them lived.
...
We sat on the ground when the attendents of the Princess came, there were 7 Royal Guards, 3 Escorts, and a single person who was carrying a small box.
The person carrying the box was wearing a white cloth over himself, even his shoes and socks were white. The only different colour on his clothes were the lining, which was of black colour.
The box consisted of a letter, it was from the princess, and it said.
"My Subjects may you have a great life", said the person holding the small box with the letter in it, his tone showing annoyance.
The attendants then inspected the school, they saw the decorations and sheets of paper on the wall, which were wishing the Princess a happy life.
They then wrote some things in their pocket-sized notebook.
They then rode the carriage they came from.
The event was over in about fifteen minutes.
The rumor was that the princess would come to our school but if it did not happen, at least they would bring some sort of artifact which would show us the Princess speaking to us.
The ideas were many, but there was no Princess who came, no artifact that would show us the Princess speaking to us and answering our questions, no artifact that would record the Princess speaking to us, all there was a letter shorter than our life.
The students were in a daze, the ones who used most of their time instead of working at places where they would get money, the kids who spent some of their money were angry and sad.
The teachers did not care.
The teachers then let us go home.
...
I reached home, and I took my dress off, today I did not have to go to work, as my employer and his wife had to attend a party.
I was quite happy as tomorrow was Sunday, it was a holiday for us, from school but the kids who had a job had to attend, every student at my school had a job.
My father had gone to look for an office, he was looking one, for his new business.
I then started to pet my new dog, he was laying on the floor, my cat was sleeping on top of him, it seemed like Mother had given a bath to the new member of my family.
As I was petting him, my cat woke up and saw me, my cat then jumped at me and sat on my shoulder to support himself, my cat used his nails to hold my shirt, as I stood up, my cat fell, he saw me, with murderous eyes and then started to talk, I could not understand his meows.
I understood his scolding, he was scolding me for getting up when he was on my shoulder.
After giving him some snacks as a bribe, and settling the issue, there was a sound.
It was from my door.

The sound stopped as I started to go near the door.
I went and opened the door, and saw a letter, it was addressed to my father, it was regarding the tax.
Suddenly I thought of something it was regarding the dog, how did the dog knock the...
I forgot what I was thinking.
...
I opened the letter, and I then started to read it, it was about the tax increase, and the business and the new pet, my family because of all these had to pay more than a thousand medium coins a year or about 2 low coins a year. It was while including meals, and other necessities.
Otherwise with the taxes removed then it would have been just about one single low coin, if I had included my and father's spendings on our hobby of collecting.
After some time, my mother came back, I gave her the letter, which was torn open.
Later the torn opened letter went to my father, he took it and started to read, he read it and said to me, "Son, Did you understand any of these hard words?" He asked with a smile.
I replied yes.
"I am proud of you, son", he said.
He was not angry that I had opened his letter, so it made me happy.
...
The view outside the window was beautiful, in front of her was a cup of Rosegrene tea.
Then she started to walk out of her room, the attendants kneeling, started to sing praises for Princess Elene.
She then went out, outside of her room, and the people with no expressions started to follow her, to keep her safe.
...
We started to have our lunch a little late at 3 in the evening.
At lunch my parents asked me about school, while my cat was gobbling up his food, and the dog was eating peacefully from his bowl.
My cat after finishing his meal looked at my dog, the dog saw the eyes staring and left some food for the cat.
My cat then respectively started to gobble up my dog's food too.
And at last jumped on the table, and started to look at our food, while my mother held it by the fat on his neck and gently sat him on the ground, and then came back to continue her lunch after cleaning her hand.
After lunch, my father told me to take my new dog for a walk, for some time.
I then asked about the new office and wanted to visit it, as I was getting ready to take the dog for a walk.
