But Carlos worried those nobles might squeal to the Human Supreme Council, and dealing with their investigation would be a real pain in the ass.
Seeing his master wasn't as thrilled as expected but instead looked deep in thought, Ginya's heart sank:
"Master, did I screw up?"
Carlos shook his head and grinned:
"Ginya, your gift is amazing. I'm damn pleased."
Ginya's move wasn't wrong. Right when the Northern Wall was burning through resources like wildfire, a kingdom's treasury could help plug a pretty big hole.
Besides, it was his retainer's good intentions, bringing tribute to show respect. Carlos would never crush its enthusiasm.
As for the Dotruu Kingdom, he hoped their nobles would wise up.
Ginya had helped them drive off the Shadow Twins and taken the treasury as payment—totally fair.
If they turned ungrateful, he'd have to put this whole mess to bed before it reached his sister's ears.
