The Author's POV

Chapter 519

"...This was out of my expectations."

Duke Anozech's face was tinged with solemnity as he gazed at the arena from one of the platforms.

Pondering over the events that had just transpired, his brows furrowed tightly.

"How odd..."

"What's odd about the situation, your excellency?"

Appearing from behind was his servant.

Without looking back, Duke Anozech replied.

"Have you ever seen the Blood Prince go all out from the beginning?"

Musing for a moment, the servant shook his head.

"No, it has never happened before."

"That's right, it has never happened before."

There had never been a time when the Blood Prince had started from the very beginning with such vigor.

To gauge his opponent's strength, he tended to always start slowly before ending it.

"Furthermore, he displayed several skills that he had never demonstrated before. Isn't the situation odd?"

"...It's as you say, your excellency."

As he listened to the Duke's reasoning, the servant became increasingly curious about the situation.

"Have there been any strange movements from the Blood Prince the last few days?"

Pondering for a moment, the servant shook his head.

"There haven't."

"Nothing at all?"

"...Hmm."

Lowering his head, the servant suddenly thought of something.

"Nothing concrete, but most recently, the Blood Prince has been spending his time either training or writing some things."

"Writing?"

The Duke's interest was piqued. Turning around, he asked.

"Tell me more about this writing."

"...As you wish."

Placing his hand over his chest and taking a knee to the ground, the servant started to explain.

"A couple of days ago, Blood Prince had started spending his time writing in his own room. He spends an average of an hour on each letter, and he has been writing them at the same time each day."

"Is there any knowledge of the contents of the thing he wrote?"

"Yes."

The servant nodded.

There were times when the Blood Prince would casually toss some of the letters away, and from there he was able to learn of its contents.

"...It appears to be letters addressed to his daughter that he misses."

"Hmmm."

Duke Anozech's eyes squinted.

Opening his mouth, he asked after a while.

"When did this start?"

The servant was quick with his reply.

"It started a bit after White Reaper's visit."

"...It started after meeting White Reaper, huh?"

Duke Anozech lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hand. He quickly came up with a hypothesis.

"Could his appearance have caused the Blood Prince to miss his daughter?"

In light of the fact that both of them were humans, the appearance of White Reaper may have triggered memories from the past to resurface in Blood Prince's mind. This may have resulted in his sudden actions.

Even then.

"Keep a close watch on the situation."

He quickly ordered.

Duke Anozech was cautious by nature. He would never let go of anything, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.
