Marquis Easton's office was surprisingly simple.
It had a desk and chair, a small sofa for welcoming guests, and even a shelf filled with books.
The Marquis's office showed how frugal he was, considering a baron or viscount's offices were at least three times the size and filled with all sorts of fancy items.
"You haven't changed, sir."
Count Warrug smiled as he scanned the office.
It was apparent the Marquis had a frugal personality.
But setting aside his personality, he had no choice but to be frugal because of where he lived.
The south was notoriously barren land.
Merchants didn't visit, and the castle’s gates were only opened once every three months, so spending was challenging, no matter how much money you had.

Having a solid military might and having a lot of money were two different things.
