I open the door to find the sherrif from the nearest village and some guards outside.

"Good sir we are here to take you to the Lords castle. You will have a trial where it will be determined if your crime deserves death"

"Uhh I'm sorry, what crime did I commit?" I stutter. I look back into my house, my pregnant wife still sleeping in bed with our firstborn daughter.

"It appears that you are the root of our current lack in taxes" he handed me a letter. "Here is a letter informing your family of your situation and whereabouts. Now If you would please come with us without resisting"

Confused I take the letter and step back into the main room. "One moment please". I walk over to my wife and stroke her hair while I press a kiss on her forehead. "Darling i have to go somewhere, but don't worry about me. I'll leave this letter explaining everything hopefully."

I grab my coat and put on my shoes before I exit my house. The guards move out of my way as I step towards the carriage. The sherrif one step behind me grabs my wrist and pushes me toward it.

"Careful!" I exclaim while I stumbled forward. "Would you please explain what I did to the taxes? Im just really confused. I have always paid my due on time. And while I couldn't really sell any of my crops yet I have not slacked off!"

"Oh you know what you did, alright" the sherrif hissed, "You tought these wretched monsters how to be civilised. And now they are giving away food and cloths to our village, for free! Can you imagine that! Noone is paying any taxes. Everyone eats like kings!"

"Oh wow that... truly sounds... horrible, trechearous even" I can't help but smile. My hopes are only for my unusual friend to take car eof my family for me.

Nice, a Orcish agricultural Revolution. Poor farmer though, his fate is uncertain. I like the formatting, makes it easy to read
