Ekathat and Ramesuan were prominent merchants from the Ayutthaya Kingdom of ASEAN who had arrived at the empire for business. At the port of Puducherry, Ekathat got down from a medium-scale 800-tonne ship and let out a sigh of admiration as soon as he took a look at the bustling atmosphere at the port.
"I wonder when our country will be so developed," Ekathat made way for his partner and lamented.
Ramesuan, getting down from the stairs, was sweating profusely. Hearing the complicated emotions in his friend's words, he couldn't help but take a look at the atmosphere in the Puducherry Port with some envy.
"I don't know if it is even possible, brother."
This was not the first time Ekathat and Ramesuan had come to the empire, since, being spice merchants, it is almost inevitable that they would travel to the Bharatiya Empire, especially its spice capital of the East Coast, Puducherry, so they came once or twice every year.
