Kou scoffed when the princess reacted to his statement. He could have appreciated the girl's efforts, but the bitter taste in his mouth from meeting her had not yet gone away. Regardless, she came through with her side of the arrangement, offering a large sum of gold in exchange for their services. She also offered an additional reward to each of the Adventurers, prompting Miki to request the ever-useful Merchant's Pass. While they didn't have a Guild they were affiliated with, such a thing would be infinitely useful. What's more, having one alone would allow them to sell their wares for market value, instead of having to undercut legitimate vendors. Since she had asked for such a thing, Kou tossed his coin pouch about nonchalantly, while coming to a single conclusion. A stern expression would fall upon the princess from Kou as he made his wishes known, using a single sentence. "Make me a Royal Knight."
