"Is there anything else?" Vlad asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," Seraphina nodded as she drew a long, rectangular box from her storage ring. The box was made of polished crimson wood, its surface gleaming softly under the warm light of the office. She placed it carefully on her table and revealed, "Father wanted me to give this to you."
"Eh?" Vlad raised an eyebrow as he unlocked the metallic clips on either side of the box. Inside, a longsword rested on a soft cushion at the centre, nestled securely in place. Its scabbard was crafted from smooth black leather, adorned with intricate, swirling designs of dragons and phoenixes etched across its surface. The silver hilt had a crimson gem embedded at the pommel, carrying the emblem of the crimson flame of House Cendral.
Vlad slowly moved his hand forward, grabbed the hilt, and lifted the sword from the box, feeling its satisfying weight settle in his grip.
