205 One Final Thing

"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him."

-        The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, by Robert A Heinlein

"We wish that in the future we no longer have the need to pay that absurdly high amount of taxes and tributes."

"I approve your wish." 

To their surprise the good lord did not hesitate or frown a single bit and approved them of this wish that in their mind is definitely impossible. 

"Listen, good people!" Antonius stood before the crowd on the altar quieting them down. "From now onwards! Thou shall not need to pay a single ducat to me for a total of five years! I shall not seek anything from you people, mark my word."
