@greyhud90 If the story is set in the feudal era which I suspect, most vassals are only obligated to provide military service to their liege in terms of manpower instead of paying a direct tax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism#Vassalage
The things Richelieu said could be apply to the church as well: strain the people to pay taxes in those hard moments to have a Christmas party? Obviously the discontent would raise to the point of riots or, at least, a lot of discontent. What is he plotting? Because I can't help but see a snake under that clergyman robe... Maybe it was because of him that the riot in Shuli's previous life came to pass?
Would have been better to leave it as noona. Miss sounds like he is treating her like an elder, an adult. Noona is a girl older than you, just that. It's kinda, but really, only kinda, like onee-san/onee-chan (more like onee-san)
Be not deceived by your own thoughts. True devout religious people like cardinals and priests aren't like that. The Church, especially the religious, are more focused in charity (love of God and love of neighbor), faith, and hope.
