"This failure is my responsibility, and I will bear it."
"There's no need for the kingdom's soldiers to bear the expense. From now on, the cost of any military equipment provided to Baron Robson can be put on my tab. I will repay it all as soon as I return to the Royal Capital!" Prince Noah immediately stood up and declared.
This was the perfect opportunity to build his reputation.
It wasn't as if there was a massive amount of military equipment to begin with. The lion's share was in Valentino's hands, and Valentino would surely hand it over without fuss. The others didn't have much to contribute anyway.
Even if it were a significant amount, Prince Noah would have to bear the cost. For a prince, especially one aspiring to the throne, reputation is more valuable than personal wealth.
Of course, that depended on the amount. The value of all these nobles' military equipment, even bundled together, wouldn't exceed a few tens of thousands of Gold Coins.
