Whatever you would have given me, use towards the soldiers. I do not need benefit. [an actual moral stance is that Concord would never advocate for his subordinates to get a bonus and then enrich himself. Money is something he's.... chronically poor at keeping hold of. The unicorn immediately spends anything he's given, seeing no reason to hold onto it when it's whole purpose is to be given or exchanged away. He has his basic needs and his finery, those were gifted to him courtesy of the King, so Concord does not feel any need to hold a reserve when others could be using money.
A vacation makes him puff air out of his nose, one of his more horse-like expressions in this human form.]
And leave you to lord over the kingdom, unopposed? I dare not.
