Independently of the success of the action, the Mercenary Captain will not like to be asked his gold. As such, a negative opinion modifier with the player character will be enacted once the request is made.

You can also enjoy this minimod inside my comprehensive one called Dark Ages. I suggest you browse it, read the info and select the link to the detailed guide provided there. In fact, this description is taken away from the relevant part of the guide.

On the contrary, factors adversely affecting the chances of success, are the player character traits Arbitrary, Wroth, Deceitful, Greedy and Envious. As for the mercenary Captain, the traits Greedy and Envious also play a negative role. His high Stewardship also increases his chance of a refusal of the player request. Finally his poor opinion of your player character and whether they are rivals also influences negatively the chances of success.

The player can only ask once for gold in a given amount of time. This time is defined by the Diplomacy of the player character. The higher the Diplomacy the shorter the time between possible requests. Of course, a lower time doesn't immediately translate into more gold. After all, time must pass and contracts must be resolved until the Mercenary Captain has again enough gold to be transferred to the player character.

The player may request gold from the Mercenary Companies he/she established. If the conditions are verified, the player just needs to press the RMB on the portrait of the relevant Mercenary Captain to be able to pick the relevant option.

To be able to be asked gold, the Mercenary Captain must have at least 100 gold in his possession. There are 4 different amounts that can be asked, if the Mercenary Captain have at least that sum in his treasury. The amounts are 100 gold, 200 gold, 350 gold and 500 gold.

Whether the Mercenary captain agrees to send funds to the player depends on a host of variables. The player character traits Charitable, Kind, Just, Patient and Honest, all provide good bonuses for the interaction. Also providing bonuses are the Mercenary Captain traits Charitable and Kind, his low Stewardship, his high opinion of the player character and whether they are friends.

What traits affect success?

@Redeyes

This way you have more options to pick without risking the neck of your heir or the need for him to have certain stat scores.

If you appoint your heir the leader of the mercenary company, when he inherits your titles, he'll come back with all the mercenary gold. Maybe missing a hand or eye, but a lot of gold.
