Faced with Sebastian's unwavering resolve, Old Money finally opted to compromise.
He decided to proceed according to Sebastian's plan, taking upon himself the burden of all the gold coins that would be spent along the way.
"Alright, alright. Given that I am a merchant of my word, since you've put it this way, I shall set your plan in motion. I will cover any additional expenses incurred en route. However, the initially agreed upon time for the goods to arrive will have to be postponed by a day. After all, switching to overland transport is bound to take at least a day longer," Old Money conceded.
Old Money's concession was indeed significant, and Sebastian was well aware that land transportation was much slower than by sea, especially now that the Rhine Alliance was amassing war supplies on a large scale.
To transport the goods to the Snow Falcon Empire, Old Money would need to resort to some extra measures.
