Association with the West

"Lady Katarina exports a large number of crops to West Matzovia regularly," Mr. Hermann began.

He continued while reading the note in his hand. "She inherited the crop business from her parents when Lady Charlotte married into the royal family."

With no sons in the family, the business fell to Lady Katarina when their parents died of illness. Despite being born into a duchy, she married a count.

"Lady Katarina's mother was a close friend of the countess, and they had promised to marry their children in the future," Mr. Hermann said.

However, the count also didn't live long. Within two years of their marriage, he died by accident, leaving no heir to their small family. Lady Katarina was forced to manage the business all by herself.

"Does she have any acquaintances in West Matzovia?" Henrie inquired.
