Chapter 53: Board and Lodging
Arabella thought all the Head Households of the territories in Valeria were given a piece of land in Riva where they could build their residence in the capital.
’I have to get this checked. Would Alwin be fine with checking it for me? Ferdinand did give me permission to use his mage as I please.’
She felt bad for Alwin but she needed his help. Alwin still had a lot of hostile thoughts about her so if necessary, she would have to use Ferdinand’s promise which allows her to bully the former.
Like Ivan, Nadia and Odette preferred to begin working right away. It was because the sooner they work, the sooner they can get a salary to send to their homeland.
The two were also on a tight budget and cannot afford to stay in the capital without working as soon as possible. Going home to their territories meant another expense so they would rather begin working as soon as possible.
Thankfully, Arabella knew from her past life that she had to prepare a place to stay for her assistants so she already had ten chambers in the palace prepared for them.
"All of you will be provided with your own chambers in the palace to make working here every day easier and more efficient. Eunice will show you to your rooms later. You can begin bringing your necessities as soon as you please," Arabella explained and Ivan, Nadia, and Odette silently sighed in relief.
[I don’t have to worry about rent anymore. But I wouldn’t be bullied here too, right?]
Ivan was still worried since he was the only commoner who was hired.
But Arabella won’t let him be bullied again. She would have to interfere if someone from her assistants was into bullying.
[Thank the gods! I thought I would have to spend money on lodging. This is the best!]
