Capítulo 104: Moving the Imperial Capital

Currently, Marcellus stood in the workshop where Catus had finished forging his sword. He waited patiently as the blacksmith performed the finishing touches on the blade's sharp edge. The man had gone to great lengths to secure the necessary materials to turn it into a masterpiece. Yet here it finally stood, finished. Initially, the estimate was only a few days, but after deciding to embark on a far grander project worthy of an Emperor, the craftsman had spent significantly longer to build the perfect weapon for Marcellus. 

The sword came in a wood scabbard that was coated in chestnut brown leather. Its fittings were made of gold and were intricately carved to pay homage to Sol Invictus.
