Chapter 35
“Apologies Maneli, but I don’t see how you could be behind.” Derketo said, “Unless you’ve forgotten crops that you haven’t accounted for. That’s the only way you could be so far behind.” “We barely have anything to sell at the market. We only sell once a month as it is because we simply don’t have many crops. We don’t sell because we can’t pay the taxes on it.” Maneli said with a ragged breathe. “So what scrolls could Tanidela been looking at that said I have a debt?” “I don’t know Maneli. I wish I had an answer for you. I will speak to Tanidela today when he comes in with his taxes he has collected today and I will tell him the same thing I am going to tell you. Come back at the end of the week, the Proclaimer is hearing complaints about taxes then. That is the best I can do for you.”
