66 Her True Face

Ulysses’s POV

As a wizard, I've never quite understood the crude and barbaric behavior of werewolves toward each other.

Now, passing through the stone corridor and climbing the steps, all the nobles dressed in their finery are seated or standing in the stands, overlooking the oval open space enclosed by stone slabs below—it is the arena of the werewolves.

"Ulysses, have you done what I asked of you?" Klaus, in a soft, neatly tailored black suit, sits in the area closest to the stage, his brow furrowed, showing no excitement like the other nobles.

"Hmm," I chuckle softly, "don't be so nervous, Klaus. Be patient, and soon you'll see an exciting spectacle."

Disguised as Klaus's servant, I stand behind him, watching as the iron gates on either side of the arena are opened by the servants, and Emilia and Brigitte appear before the crowd.
