In the end, there was nothing that they could do in the face of this royal decree.
It was a fact that they were behind on their payments, so they had to accept the demands that we were making since these demands were related to these payments.
What I was doing was inspecting the resources of their country to see what could be used as collateral for delaying this payment.
So what I was technically doing was the work of a debt collector.
The second reason why they were allowing all of this to happen was because of the wyverns that we had brought with us. It was like bringing a gun with us that would force them to accept our demands.
After all, if the wyverns were to rampage in their capital, the damage would be unimaginable.
That was the last thing that they could allow to happen, so they had to follow our demands.
