Reward
A few days later, Carl was given a reward for subduing the gnolls. Even though it was officially a trivial subjugation of gnolls, the emperor's mission was accomplished.
He can't just ignore it. First, a medal was awarded to Carl.
The medal itself was not important.
What was important was that a little bit of money came from the imperial family on a regular basis.
Carl wore a small bronze medal, the size of two finger joints, which is given as a formality to commanders who have made minor achievements, prominently displayed on his left chest.
It was the perfect tool to look like an excited kid.
Next, Carl, who had fulfilled his role as a member of the royal family, finally began to be given 'dignity maintenance fees'! It wasn't a lot of money, but when combined with the money from the medal, it was enough to be useful in times of need.
