It wasn't like Victor was some greedy merchant hoarding gold like a dragon or anything!
Believe him!
It was just a formal discussion between one empire's ruler and another, where every single transaction needed to be handled in the most conventional, structured, and, of course, monetized way.

"Buying thrusters?" The Archpriestess frowned.
Victor shifted his eyes toward Dora, who let out a long, tired sigh. She really couldn't believe she was doing this, but there was no other choice. After a moment of internal struggle, she finally explained.
"These thrusters could stabilize your empire without any risk of failure. They will allow your lands to merge seamlessly, ensuring there are no errors in the process. That's exactly how they work in Victor's empire, and they have saved countless lives in critical situations. It's not just about convenience, it's about survival."
