The king's gold is, like pirates of the levant - a one off episode rather than part of a continuing story arc.. something about corrupt noblemen trying to smuggle gold from the South American mines past spanish customs, and Olivares hiring Alatriste (who then hires a colourful set of roughnecks from the back alleys and prisons to help steal the gold back, and the gold is of course guarded by Malatesta's men)
