You should at least lower the tax to allow them some breathing room, and reduce the amount of gold lavished on feast and other parties."<br/><br/>Allen's wrist twitched slightly, a detail not missed by Edward, which stated only one thing he had or is in the process of stepping on the princess's toes in some way, which was not a good thing at all.
