"Cotton? This is the first time I've seen it fresh from the plant! I thought it only grew in Dracor due to the warmer climate there," Anna remarked, surprised by its presence in the kingdom.
"Yes, indeed. But this is a different kind of cotton, originating from seeds that His Highness brought back after his travels a few years ago," Tony explained. "He purchased it from a peddler who claimed it came from a distant land. I was given a few bags of seeds and sowed them."
"It must be challenging to grow," Meredith commented.
"It was. I failed to grow this cotton numerous times, so His Highness stopped asking me about it. However, I eventually found the right way to cultivate it, and it thrived. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to tell His Highness about my success since he moved out," the gardener said.
"What's the difference between this type with the common one?" asked Sylvia.
