Using The Free Build

With Mr. Herman leaving the room, the ambience also calmed down a little, as his boisterousness left with him.

The remainder of the conversations would also be much tamer, as the military and political aspects of this transaction were much simpler.

But Killi was still very satisfied with how things went up to now. He had, after all, managed to get some goodies for the prince and himself during his negotiations.

Nothing came free, though.

After their back and forth, Astaroth had allowed Mr. Herman to promise a monthly allowance of ten thousand gold, to both Prince Nalafein and Killi, at the cost of erased taxes on future mercantile exchanges, and a part of their tax profit.

Of course, the allowance was never to be counted in the profit return and could be used however they deemed fit.

Now, ten thousand gold pieces might look like nothing. But having such a sum every month that could be used to invest in their own economy was no joke.
