"You see, this is why I say you are arrogant."
Anna felt a sense of inevitability in Losa's response.
"I've learned about your actions in your territory. You generously exempt your subjects from taxes, lend them farming tools, and allocate land to them."
"You live up to the reputation of being generous and merciful."
"But I don't understand why you do this. After all, you're not that wealthy now; one might even say you're somewhat impoverished."
"You could squeeze more money from them, and they wouldn't oppose you for that."
Losa frowned and said, "I'm not really that good to them."
"In my rule, commoners still need to serve without pay, and they still have to pay a twenty percent tax. The cattle and farming tools loaned to them must be bought back in the future at their own expense."
"Isn't that enough?"
Anna's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
