So many questions... There is one issue on the table and here you spin that into an eternity.
[a subtle way to nod to their shared immortality, but there's purpose to it. Concord sees individual lives more keenly than Ali, or so he would argue. He's concerned with the day-to-day, the comforts and troubles and dangers that mortals face. Dragons are not known for that, they think in decades and centuries, in numbers. Unicorns think in moments, in the pleasure and strife of living life.
Concord thinks very little of social rigor like money management, beyond what it can do. Money is nothing more than a tool to the Unicorn, something to be used to help, not horded away as mere assets. Leaving it up to him, money would be spent as soo as it was acquired. The King... would never trust Concord with coin.
That doesn't mean his input is meritless, merely a far cry in perspective. So long as they didn't start snarling at one another, having Ali and Concord bicker was a fine exercise in hearing out multiple viewpoints. The King certainly has his reasons for allowing this time and time again in his court]
If you fret so much for managing expectations, then make it clear the bonus pay is once only. If you are concerned for the future, consider that we will have earned more of your dusty gold, by then.
