NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 147 One day left
Anthony silently watched as the girl jumped with excitement and then disappeared into thin air. He wanted to ask her some questions, but the bond that connected them had vanished the moment she accepted the necklace. Letting out a sigh, Anthony returned to the house, feeling a profound sense of satisfaction at having fulfilled all his promises and goals.
Upon reaching the bedroom, he found Ema asleep on the bed, with Lysandra also asleep by her side. A feeling of peace and gratitude washed over him as he watched the two most important people in his life peacefully resting. He approached quietly and sat on the edge of the bed, knowing he only had a few more days in the house before leaving for the imperial academy.
With another sigh, he went to the bathroom and changed into more comfortable clothes before lying down on Lysandra's side, embracing her gently and feeling the warmth of her body. He closed his eyes; he too was a little tired.

For hours, Noah summoned Roberto to his office to discuss the details of the new sword he desired. He showed Roberto all the elements and characteristics he wanted to incorporate into the sword. From his ring, he produced a unique metal that could only be found in the depths of zone 7, along with some special crystals.
Additionally, he handed Roberto a vial containing a drop of blood that emitted an ethereal glow. Despite the protective runes surrounding the vial, the blood still emanated great power.
Noah began to explain the additional details of the sword to Roberto, detailing his expectations and ensuring that every aspect was perfectly clear before the forging process began. He even offered to help suppress the drop of blood, which Roberto nodded at without hesitation.
Over the next few days, Roberto sought out a relatively secluded location and established his forge there. Using the materials provided by Noah, he began the arduous work of forging the desired sword. He closed the doors of his workshop completely, ensuring that no one could interrupt his work. When undertaking a task of this magnitude, Roberto preferred to work in total solitude.
Thus, five days and five nights passed in which Roberto immersed himself completely in his work. Meanwhile, Anthony, Lysandra, and Ema remained in the house, awaiting the final outcome of Roberto's work. With only three more days before their departure, time seemed to pass quickly.
With only one day left before Anthony, Lysandra, and Ema's departure, the heavy doors of Roberto's forge slowly opened, revealing an interior illuminated by sunlight filtered through the windows. With an expression of anticipation, Noah was the first to arrive, his imposing figure filling the entrance of the workshop.
His eyes shone with anticipation as he approached Roberto, who awaited with reverence.
In the center of the workshop, hovering in the air, was Roberto's creation: a sword that seemed to pulse with its own energy. Its blade, a radiant white, was adorned with faint red glimmers that snaked from the base to the tip in elegant curves. The handle, a matte black, was delicately inset with small stones that sparkled with their own light.
Noah stopped in front of the sword, feeling its latent power radiate towards him. A flash of excitement crossed his face as the sword began to emit a reddish glow, as if recognizing the presence of its future owner. With a determined gesture, Noah dropped a drop of his own blood onto the blade and watched with satisfaction as it was absorbed by the metal.
In a blink, the sword disappeared from its floating position and integrated into Noah's soul with a blinding flash. A smile of satisfaction curved Noah's lips as he felt the power and essence of the sword merging with his own. Turning to Roberto, he expressed his gratitude with sincere words.
"It was exceptional work, Roberto," Noah said with a deep voice, extending an identification card to the skilled blacksmith. "You have exceeded my expectations."
Roberto received the card humbly, nodding gratefully at Noah's praise. With a respectful bow, he watched as Noah disappeared from the workshop, leaving behind the feeling that a new chapter had begun for him and his family.
He looked at the card in his hands and saw that it was so crystalline, Roberto dropped a drop of his blood on the card, concentrated, and could see a mountain of gold coins inside, Roberto was surprised, he had never seen so much gold in his life, Nicol arrived running bringing food and water with her.
Upon learning of his father's sudden disappearance after receiving his new sword, Anthony felt deeply disappointed. He had eagerly awaited to see what kind of sword Roberto had forged, but now, with his father's departure, that expectation faded.
Remembering the day before, when his father had come to bid farewell to him and Lysandra, Anthony began to put two and two together and understand the reason behind the visit.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Anthony turned his attention to Ema, who was holding onto his legs tightly, obviously affected by the situation. With a soft but firm voice, Anthony offered her comfort: "Ema, I've already told you that I'll come to visit you from time to time, okay?
Don't be sad." Upon hearing these reassuring words, Ema lifted her head, her eyes filled with tears and longing. "Do you promise?" she asked weakly, seeking reassurance amidst uncertainty. Anthony, with a compassionate gesture, embraced her tenderly and replied determinedly, "I promise you. I've never broken a promise."
She nodded and managed a faint smile. Ema knew that we were leaving, so she decided to make the most of the time she had left with us. Smiling, I addressed her with a serious tone, "But you must promise me that when we get there, you'll be much stronger than you are now." Ema nodded decisively and responded, "Leave it to me, I'll definitely be much stronger than now," her eyes shining brightly.
