As for sugar? The sugar factories in the Northern Territory were led by her for construction, using the large-scale industrial sugar production methods she introduced. Piling up a lot of sugar in the warehouses and then scraping some loose wealth from the nobles—what's the trouble?
However, for Shay, both tea and snacks were truly a rare treat, making him nostalgic even as he ate.
How long has it been since he tasted sweetness? Shay felt as if he was too stingy, unwilling to spend some money to buy sugar to improve his quality of life.
After all, he too, as a Knight with territories, though the output from his lands was not abundant, it could still support his expenses on sugar.
As long as he doesn't buy too much, a small packet per month should still be affordable.
Shay was contemplating these matters when the maid returned and said to Shay, who was munching on a small biscuit, "The Count has some time now, please follow me."
