Bab 459: TYRANNY

When Ovior took them to another place, Veronica was shocked.

Some of Duke De la Pole's henchmen gathered in the village. They started asking for taxes.

"Where the heck is tax? Do you think we have enough time to stay here? This place is such a dirty place. I want to puke. Hurry up and get me the money."

One of the henchmen ordered the villagers.

The villagers gathered but they didn't dare to make a sound. They kept their heads low.

The village head came forward. He was an old man around eighty years old.

He stood in front of the henchmen and said, "The news was sudden. We didn't have enough time to prepare. Please give us more time."

"That won't do. Do you think our Duke has time for your bullshit? You have to pay back right now or you must be punished."

The henchman didn't take 'no' for an answer.

"Please, we have our families to feed."
