Dear diary,


    The mansion was ultra sparkly today. I thought since everyone was so busy that I''ll have the day off from tutoring and lend a hand with the prep work but no. I still had to do maths.


    I learnt about taxes today. My maths tutor, Fabian, said that taxes are basically protection money. The crown takes a bit of money from all the people that live in their land and in turn they protect us from a lot of bad things. Like, monsters that want to eat people, or other people that want to steal stuff and burn down houses.  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    All very reasonable sounding stuff. Doesn''t mean I''m happy it''s a thing though.


    Love,


    Tina
