Two days later, Ronan rented an apartment three kilometers from the Royal Higher Police Academy.
It had taken him so long because rental properties in the surrounding area were in extremely short supply, and finding a suitable place had been far from easy. He had only managed it by hiring an agency.
And for this two-bedroom apartment, Ronan had to pay the hefty rent of a full 12 gold pounds and 5 silver dollars every month!
That monthly rent was higher than the monthly salary of a senior police officer in Rand City.
There were cheaper places, of course, but Ronan could not bring himself to consider them. Though he did not care much about living conditions, with wealth wrapped around his waist, there was no need to make himself suffer.
With the proof of military merit provided by Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wardhouse, Ronan had smoothly collected two substantial bounties from the Ministry of War, totaling more than forty thousand gold pounds.
So although property prices in Ceres were indeed astronomical, he would have had no problem renting a small villa if he wanted to.
But considering that he would have major expenses in the future, Ronan chose this apartment for the time being. It was not large, but its location, surroundings, and furnishings were all quite good.
He did not have much luggage, so once he had signed the contract with the landlord, he moved in directly.
Of course, he still needed to purchase some daily necessities separately.
After all that running around, Ronan finally settled down in the largest and most prosperous city of the Kingdom of Invya.

After prowling around the apartment for a lap, Little Black comfortably curled up on the sofa in the living room.
It was clearly quite satisfied with its new home.
