The Barony she had married into wasn't too wealthy but it wasn't too poor either.
It had a moderate amount of riches and most of its money arrived from trading southern specialties which weren't available in the northern fiefs.
Having a much warmer climate than the north, these fiefs could grow a variety of fruits and vegetables which would otherwise be impossible to cultivate in the chilly or even frigid weather of certain northern fiefs.
Thanks to their fief's favorable weather conditions, they had been able to sustain themselves and even supply the excess to other territories.
However, after she had married into this household, she had often asked her husband to hike up the prices of the items that they sold.
Since the northern fiefs had no other way of obtaining these items if not from them, they would not mind paying a greater sum than usual.
