Capítulo 86: A rich woman

After finishing reviewing some of the documents, I head to the central hall with the maids following me.

In the end, the financial situation of the castle seems stable, even though I can't figure out how come they pay so little for the raw materials. These poor farmers are exploited to the core.

It's a relief, though, since paying at market prices would be too much for the Duke's finances. My share is satisfying, and I'll be able to do much with it. However, I think that the Duke was too generous.

The allowance is high in comparison to the whole budget. Maybe, it was better if my Duke used part of it for emergency funds.

I reach the main hall, and I notice the long line of people in front of the central door. They're mostly farmers and merchants, but somewhere I can spot a noble or two. They're all waiting in silence, not even trying to use their name to pass first.
