It seems that he’s trying to stop his older brother from betraying the empire but his brother wouldn’t listen.
It's not just some sugar. The value of sugar and salt in older days were equal to gold. Since they are now so readily available, people have forgotten how scare it was. Before folks in india discovered how to make crystalline sugar from sugarcane that we consume today , the only source from of sweetness was from honeys, sweet tree syrups and fruits. Sugar was a prized commodity for most of human history. It wasn't just something that proved sweetness , sugar was also used in preservation of food items during a time with no refrigeration. It was only reserved for kings and queens , until it got heavily commercialized during colonization of America Africa and asia. There were places where the whole economy depended on sugar . Colonial united states was notorious for bringing in slaves from Africa just for their huge sugar plantations. Horrible conditions.
Wait I’m getting confused is the older brother the prime minister? Who is the younger brother again? Is The younger one The crown princes friend…. right?
The older brother is the head of the family, the younger is prime minister, the crown prince friend is one generation after I think since he’s also still a kid.
Nooo, I like the Sandars, but it seems like they’re going to betray the empire over some sugar!? I didn’t know he was that kind of person
