Bab 419: A New Residence

Abel said to Bartoli, "You got a temporary permit, didn't you, Bartoli? I was just told that you can bring five people with you to live in the city."

"Yes, Master!" Bartoli bowed, "I'll redo my identification. Please wait for a moment."

After Bartoli re-did her identification as Abel's servant, she came back to Abel with her new identity card.

"I'm so glad that you told me that in time, Master!" Bartoli said to Abel, "I know you gave me a lot of intermediate gemstones, but that's twenty of them that I almost spent just there! Can you believe it? Twenty for ten days!"

"That kind of make sense now," Abel replied, then rubbed his chin with his hand, "So that's why they offered ten thousand to me just then. They thought I was a young boy that they could take advantage of."
