章 74: Despicable

From Marie's answers and from the intel Alwin was able to gather, it was verified that the collectors arrive at the end of every month to collect "tribute".

Each family has to pay a thousand silver coins to the collectors. It was equal to a hundred gold coins.

Her whole life, even in the past, Arabella only ever personally used platinum and gold coins.

Moreover, she doesn't even carry around her own money.

The maids or her knights carry it for her and were the ones who paid for whatever purchase she made. Only in places they were not allowed did she try to use gold and platinum.

In Valeria, the currency was called valer.
