As Rhalf mulled over the proposition, Kaeso's voice cut through the contemplative silence, "Allow me to enlighten you, Rhalf. I propose an offer of 500 gold coins." The words hung in the air, leaving Rhalf visibly stunned and struggling to find his voice.
"500!" he finally uttered, his disbelief apparent. Never before had he amassed such a wealth, and the allure of the glittering coins ignited a spark of avarice within him.
Rhalf's eyes widened in disbelief as the offer of a thousand gold coins hung in the air. The sheer magnitude of the sum left him momentarily speechless. A thousand gold coins were a fortune, an unimaginable wealth that could change his life in ways he had never dared dream of. The greed in his heart overpowered any lingering hesitation, and he quickly composed himself to respond to City Lord Kaeso.
