A Foreign Word-Friend

In the end, Livia selected two paintings that caught her eye.

One depicted the dilapidated view of the bell tower, which had sold for eighteen gold coins, and the other was one of Amalia's early works, priced at fifteen gold coins.

"Will Miss Livia take them now, or...?"

"Leave them here for now. According to our agreement, every time I pay for a painting, I'll take the corresponding one."

Back in the room, Livia said, "Go and write down what you need as soon as possible. That way, it will be easier for the servants to prepare everything quickly."

Amalia nodded and went to the next room. She sat down at the desk, picked up the pen and paper, and began to think carefully about what she needed.
