"As promised, Prince Rui, the sum of six trillion dollars," President Amelia smiled perfunctorily. "We appreciate your services and your contributions to the Republic of Gorteau."
She handed him an especially fancy-looking cheque tucked inside an even fancier envelope.
"Thank you for the payment, Madam President," Rui smiled back. "I will be sure to put this to good use."
The two of them spoke a little longer about relating matters as Rui had to suppress the impatience that he was experiencing at that moment with all his will. He didn't want to give himself away, after all.
He politely nodded and tagged along with the conversation for however long it was to last until it finally ended.
"Well then, Prince Rui," she got up. "I am afraid we will have to conclude our talks. I have too many matters to attend to, and I'm sure that the same is true for you. It has been a pleasure speaking with you."
