68 Chapter 68: Sword

Laughing amusedly, "You know, Roberto, I enjoy talking to intelligent people. You have my word. I will take care of you and your family. I, Anthony Von Valeriano, do not break my promises," I say with a smile.

Roberto looked into my eyes with a deep blue like the sky, scrutinizing me carefully, searching for any lie in my words. He extended his hand and shook mine, our handshake sealing the mutually beneficial deal, though of course, I came out ahead.

"I never thought I'd have the honor of meeting the son of the dragon duke. It's a total surprise for me to meet you in this low-class place," Roberto said with a mocking smile.

Shrugging, "I also had no idea I would find a great sword in this place, but I believe in destiny, so there's always a chance for anything."

"So when we move, I don't want my family to stay in this place anymore," Roberto said, pursing his lips.

I had planned to send them to my father's house, but that could mean they'd be attacked on the way, requiring me to accompany them. But that would take a lot of time, and time is what I have least of right now. The other option is to take them with me to the inn, but for that, I need money... I have 98 gold coins minus the 60 for the sword, leaving me with 38 remaining, and I haven't even bought Elsa's sword and armor yet. I can't take Elsa into the forest without the necessary equipment, so...

"What I have in mind is that you follow me to where I am staying. It is very safe since it is next to the guild, so you will be safer there. The only problem I see is that you will have to pay for the inn, but the The biggest problem is that you have to move this entire workshop," I say looking at Elsa, who was cleaning with Nicol and Ema. They will definitely get along...

"Don't worry, I'll take care of paying for the room and taking my workshop with me," he said with incredible disdain.

Stunned for a moment, I was surprised at how calm he was about the move. I suppose he has his plans. Pointing to Elsa, I say, "I want a light armor for her and a sword too."

Roberto directed his gaze at Elsa, staring at her from head to toe. Elsa felt a deep gaze on her body and turned her head.

"A bit slow, but alright, I suppose," I think internally about Elsa's reaction.

After a few seconds, Roberto said, "Bring the girl here first."

I nod, "Angela, come here for a moment." Elsa approached, initially confused by the old man's gaze.

"Don't worry, I was just looking at you to choose what type of armor might suit you," I warn her to let her guard down.

Elsa nods in understanding, "Look at all the weapons you want, as long as it's a sword that stands out in this place. As for the armor, we'll see later."

In a state of shock, I look at them both at the same time. I can't understand them.

"Yes, as you can see, I'm back," I say with an awkward smile.

Elsa points to a sword. Redirecting my gaze to the sword, I see a small sword about 70 centimeters long. It was a combination of a sword and a katana. The hilt was like that of a katana, with a ribbon at the end. The bottom part was of a medium sky blue color; it was a beautiful and pleasant-looking sword.

"Do you like it?" I ask curiously.

Elsa only nods her head, her eyes shining brightly. Looking at the old man, he understands my question.

"I can sell you the sword with a light armor for her for 30 gold coins for both," the old man says seriously.

My expression becomes somber. Seriously, here goes all my money. In just moments, almost everything disappeared. I'm left with only 8 gold coins. I'm poor right now, and there are still 4 months left in this place.

With resentment in my eyes, I hand Roberto the 30 gold coins. In my hands, I'm left with only 8 gold coins. Taking a deep breath, I convince myself that it's just a long-term investment.

Elsa takes the sword in her hand and begins to perform basic movements, checking that the hilt fits perfectly in her hand.

"How is it?" I ask with interest.

Elsa puckers her lips with joy in her voice, "It fits perfectly, I don't feel any discomfort."

"Good, good, that's good, because you'll have to work hard from now on to survive in this city if we want to keep living as we are," I tell Elsa.

Looking around, I can't find Roberto. Turning my head, I find him with his wife and daughter, showing them the 90 gold coins with a big smile. Nicol is crying tears of joy; Ema, seeing her mother cry, also starts to cry.

With a small smile, "Seriously, don't do this."
