#895 - Chapter 894: 60% Tribute!!!
Suk looked at the leading envoy from the Carter Kingdom below, a change flickering across his expression.
The envoy was familiar to Suk; it was Evangeline, who had once visited the Principality of Rhonoss.
Although her rank was only Sixth Order, she seemed unremarkable among the high-ranking officials of the kingdom.
However, according to the information Suk had recently acquired.
Evangeline had a significant impact on the Carter Kingdom's diplomacy, demonstrating outstanding performance.
All of this was closely related not only to her own abilities but also to her family, the Samm family.
As the Samm family, with a renowned reputation throughout the Carter Kingdom, possessed extraordinary influence within the kingdom.
Evangeline looked at Suk sitting on the throne, slightly bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, the King of Magical Beasts, we meet again."
Suk glanced at Evangeline without saying much.
Apart from the simulations, in reality, Suk had only spent a short time with Evangeline when she was in the Principality of Rhonoss.
"Mm."
He hummed softly, looking at Evangeline.
"I wonder what brings the envoy here?"
Looking at the expressions of Amyra and the other ministers, he knew it wouldn't be good news.
Suk didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
Evangeline smiled slightly, not minding Suk's attitude, and took out a scroll.
Looking at the Carter Kingdom's emblem on the scroll, Suk narrowed his eyes.
This was similar to the imperial edicts of ancient emperors in his previous life.
However, in this world, the medium had become a scroll, allowing for longer preservation.
Opening the scroll, Evangeline read the words on it.
"The Principality of Kern, blessed by the gods, experiences accelerated development.
Its King, Kern, under the blessing of the gods, breaks through successively.
The blessing of the gods is a fortunate event for the Principality of Kern, and also a fortunate event for the Carter Kingdom.
Therefore, it is hereby announced that the Principality of Kern is a Level One Principality."
Evangeline finished reading, and Suk was stunned.
Level One Principality?
What was that?
He had never heard of it before.
Did principalities also have levels?
Suk looked at Amyra beside him with a questioning gaze.
Amyra's expression was extremely unpleasant. Seeing Suk's gaze, she wanted to explain, but Evangeline spoke first.
"Three hundred years ago, the Carter Kingdom implemented a principality grading system."
"Principalities are divided into three levels: Level One, Level Two, and Level Three.
Level Three is the lowest level principality, and Level One is the highest level principality."
"Different levels of principalities are required to pay different amounts of tribute tax."
"Level Three principalities pay 10% tribute tax, Level Two principalities pay 30% tribute tax, and Level One principalities pay 60% tribute tax."
"Previously, although the kingdom did not assign a level to the Principality of Kern, it defaulted to Level Two.
Now that the Principality of Kern is a Level One principality, it is required to pay 60% tribute tax."
As Evangeline finished speaking, the entire royal hall was filled with gazes that seemed ready to devour her.
If gazes had power, Evangeline would already be in pieces.
The entire royal hall, except for these envoys, was filled with ministers from the Principality of Kern.
They were now wholeheartedly dedicating themselves to the principality, hoping that it would become better, so that they could obtain more benefits.
But now...
Level One Principality...
60% tribute tax?!!
Anyone could see that.
The kingdom was blatantly suppressing them without any concealment.
60% tribute tax, not to mention that it was impossible to produce.
Even if they could produce it, it would be equivalent to selling the country.
Bearing the anger of the crowd, Evangeline smiled slightly, "I am only relaying the meaning of the royal family."
"Now that the message has been delivered, I hope the Principality of Kern will prepare well."
"The original time for paying tribute tax remains unchanged."
Suk stared at Evangeline's face, and anger also rose in his heart.
60%...
This was forcing the principality to rebel...
"Amyra, see the envoys off..."
Amyra responded and escorted Evangeline and the others out.
The entire hall immediately became chaotic.
Many ministers spoke out.
"Your Majesty, 60%! This is going to kill the principality!"
"With only half a year, being able to gather 30% would already be a miracle... 60% is simply impossible..."
"Your Majesty! The kingdom... is going to destroy us..."
Suk looked at the many indignant ministers, calming himself down.
"Then, do you have any good solutions?"
The ministers immediately fell silent.
60%...
A value that was simply impossible to achieve.
Even with the blessing of the gods and rapid development, the entire principality.
Being able to gather 10% to 20% tribute tax in this half year would already be emptying their coffers.
On this basis, directly doubling it.
Not to mention that a newly established country could not do it.
Even an old principality might not be able to produce it.
There was no hope...
Suk sighed, "You may all leave."
The ministers obediently dispersed. Some ministers still wanted to say something, but they didn't speak and left silently.
Soon, only Suk was left in the entire royal hall.
After a moment, Amyra walked in from outside.
Her expression was not good.
It seemed that she hadn't said anything good when sending Evangeline out.
Looking at Suk, Amyra excitedly said, "Kern, let's rebel!"
Suk shook his head.
"Rebel? Rebelling would be playing right into the Carter Kingdom's hands."
"They have their eyes on the blessing of the gods and want to take over and usurp our nest."
Amyra was silent.
The blessing of the gods, increasing the speed of development.
Not to mention the kingdom, even the empire would probably be envious.
This was an improvement in the entire height level, not just a city or a pool...
Any ambitious existence would not let this matter rest after knowing about it...
"Then... what should we do?"
Amyra also had no idea.
She could grit her teeth and work hard for 30% tribute tax.
60%...
It was simply impossible.
"Go back first, I'll think of a way."
Amyra looked at Suk, nodded, and left silently.
The entire royal hall was left with only Suk again.
"60%..."
"Half a year..."
"Carter Kingdom, you are forcing me..."
Suk didn't want to give up the principality he had worked so hard to establish.
If he didn't give up, then he could only... do it!!!
Narrowing his eyes, Suk looked at the system.
As long as he had enough simulation points, he could quickly create a batch of top experts with ten consecutive inheritances.
At that time...
It wasn't like there was no chance of winning against kingdom-level experts.
As long as he could make the kingdom's experts afraid, the kingdom would not dare to blatantly pressure the Principality of Kern again...
Right now, the most important thing was to obtain as many simulation points as possible.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, a figure came in from outside.
It was Kara.
His eyes were tired, but his gaze was bright.
"I found the place with many magical beasts that you wanted.
This is the admission ticket."
