The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1261

Bard was grinning from ear to ear, "My wish is for you to grow up happy and healthy, and for your grandfather's illness to be cured."

"What about yourself?"

Himself?

This was the first time Bard had thought about it.

He was successful in his career, in this country, he could get anything he wanted with the snap of his fingers.

"Uncle Bard, look under the paper."

Bard lifted the paper to reveal a small, transparent vial containing a single pill.

"This is an emergency pill. If you're suddenly poisoned or fall ill, this pill can save your life until I can get to you."

For someone as esteemed as Bard, there must be plenty who want him dead. Emergencies were inevitable, and while he could easily buy commonplace items, life wasn't something money could buy.

"You're quite the thoughtful girl, aren't you?" Bard chuckled, "This is quite the unique gift, I feel like I'm taking advantage of you. A wish paper and a priceless life-saving pill."

"Uncle Bard, your gift is even more valuable."

"Oh, how so?"

"A box like this weighs around half an ounce, but with the gift inside, it's still under an ounce. This means what's inside must be something light, like paper."

Bard looked at her admiringly, "Go on."

"Given your status, it could be a blank check, a high-value bank card, or a house key."

"But a blank check might make me hesitant about how much to write, and a house key is unlikely, so I'm guessing it's a bank card."

Only a bank card would require such a small box.
