[[ the king had promised, upon her request, it'd be exempt from taxes "forever" (the only thing she ever asked for as reward for her services to him) but then the french revolution happened and a king's promise meant squat, so they're paying taxes again by 1817. but otherwise they're ok. ]]
Jeannette's fingers fly to her lips in shock - "1817?" - but such knowledge can only lead to a single burning question. How this happened, why it happened: None of that matters. If the Lord wishes it known, He shall reveal it in due time. But Jeannette's priorities - those she must pursue of her own will.
"Please, sir, does the Kingdom of France still stand?" she inquires, then gets to the real meat of the issue. "And my hometown of Domrémy - do you happen to know whether the village is safe....?"
Had she been able to defend it, after all.....and in her absence.......has it flourished....?? All Jeannette has ever wanted is to protect what matters to her. Knowing her country, her village, remain after nearly half a millennium - ah, that would be the sweetest blessing - !
to save you a google, if he'd know: domrémy is fine. TINY AF, but fine.
