Chapter 25: Duke Arganus IV

As the door opened, the first sight I saw was an elderly man with a well-groomed, thick beard. Despite his advanced age, he exuded a fresh and energetic aura. His dark blue hair shimmered slightly under the sunlight streaming through the large windows of the room. His sharp eyes scrutinized our every move, giving the impression that nothing could escape his notice.

For some reason, this person reminded me of someone I knew, but I quickly dismissed the thought, considering it impolite to dwell on such musings upon our first meeting.

We all entered one by one, and when the old man's eyes met the Prince's face, the atmosphere immediately became more relaxed.

"Welcome, Prince Philip. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. Your letter only arrived this morning," he said in a casual yet attentive tone.

Philip chuckled lightly, "Ahaha~ I didn't expect to be here this soon either."
