Part of Raven-Speaker

This is a part of Raven-Speaker, a story I'm working on at the moment. Ditors are the currency and Rellion is the main character. This is where he learns that his uncle is becoming king of Avon Arret.

Rellion sighed putting down the invitation. So Uncle Sanko is going to be king, Rellion thought. Sanko was, obviously Rellion’s uncle, his father’s brother. He was the richest member of the royal family having a gigantic share in the profit from the produce industry. He owned millions of acres of farmland to the west reaches of Avon Arret. He was even richer than the king because the king’s income was limited to his salary and personal charges. While the king’s salary was always a fixed $600,000 ditors a fortune in Avon Arret, Sanko’s profit depended on the amount of produce there was so a good year of harvest meant an extra million ditors to Sanko while a drought or a famine meant that much less. Even so, his salary was usually at an average of 1.8 million ditors. Three times the amount the king made. But now he would be king. For Sanko it wasn’t too much of a disappointment.
