For War Merchant Panfanel, one gold coin was nothing. But those who have wealth don't think about the value of their money from their own perspective. You have to think from the perspective of the person receiving it. That's the only way to use your money most powerfully.
Naturally, there was no way a situation where he'd give it graciously would come.
'For Rowan, one gold coin has to have tremendous value. But to talk about it like throwing a stone...'
It was ridiculous.
There would never be a moment in a three-man mercenary group's lifetime when they'd ask for one gold coin. That's why he should refuse, but...
'Clever bastard. Bringing up nobility.'
And not just any nobility—he'd brought up a noble from a pretty successful family who was commanding at the Kingdom Camp. He'd thrown out a challenge to weigh himself against that.
'Compared to a deal with nobility, one gold coin is light.'
