Nua doesn't have anything like the Law of Surprise, or at least not that I've heard of. So it's definitely an interesting thing to think about, that question you asked.
If I was in a position to ask for a reward from a King and/or Queen, I think I would probably not take the chance of a surprise, and instead try to go for a sure thing. Honestly, if this was happening back on Nua, I'd most likely ask them for a job! My previous career prospects all sort of dried up, shortly before I was brought here. Nobody really wants to pay for a villain anymore.
I want you to know I coded a special keyboard shortcut in my phone just for replying to Jaskier
