My Soul card is a Reaper

"Ah, Yes, sorry, I was thinking about the new year. What were you saying again?"

"So, um… we were asking whether you mind revealing about the Hourglass?"

"Yeah, it\'s perfectly alright." Azzy, in the end, had to agree with the decision made by his family members.

And since they were also intending to paint him as the reincarnation of the founder in anyways, he thought that he might as well showcase some new trump cards that he had, excluding the cosmic gems.

As for his unborn sibling, after much thinking, he hoped to take his master\'s help.

The guardian god is said to be on par with the true gods but still isn\'t a deity.

He is a human and will understand his selfishness as well as his dilemma.

If this person talks with the God of Death, Thanatos, perhaps, the aura of death can be removed from the baby.

The Reaper was against this plan as he knows that the guardian god will not agree to it because of two primary reasons. One, Thanatos and the guardian god don\'t like each other. Two, Thanatos is one stubborn god who doesn\'t like to listen to even Zeus.

But then again, since Azzy didn\'t discuss this with him, he didn\'t bother to give his opinion either.

Meanwhile, at the royal palace of Camelot;

Leah was summoned by her father to the throne room but there wasn\'t anyone else except for her mother and the royal teacher Aurelia.

Nevertheless, she formally grabbed her long skirt and bowed to him as a greeting, "Your Majesty."

King Lucas Pendragon then gestured for her to be at ease and spoke, "I summoned you to talk about the guests, Leah."

"Yes?" Leah wondered what it might be.

Lucas then asked, "What is your opinion on the Garcia family and the death clan, in general?"

"Well…" Leah didn\'t know why her father is asking her but she took the question seriously and thought for a while before answering honestly, "To talk specifically about the Death clan in terms of strength, they appeared to have two supreme realm experts and surprisingly, both of them are supreme beings if Excalibur is right. One of them is Lord Qridus, which everybody knows, but the other one is still a mystery.

Secondly, they appeared to have a vast amount of influence in different governments and royal families. WAMO\'s vice president is a member of the Death clan.

Thirdly, they were…"

"Uhh… sweetie…" Leah\'s mother interrupted her as the princess continued to ramble about the details of the clan in a lengthy explanation. As Leah looked at her, the queen said, "spare us the details, sweetie. Your father just wants to know whether they are worthy to form an alliance with."

"Oh, totally…" Leah gave double thumbs up with a grin but upon remembering where she was, the princess controlled her expressions and then calmly nodded, "Yes, the clan is worthy. But mother, aren\'t they already allies? Don\'t tell me you were having second thoughts because of the upcoming war." Leah looked back at her father for confirmation.

King Lucas shook his head, "No. You misunderstood. We were referring to marriage alliance."

Leah\'s expression changed immediately as soon as she heard those words. "You are talking about me, aren\'t you? Cuz, Aunt Cynthia is engaged to someone else and Uncle Celus is still missing."

As King Lucas nodded in confirmation, Leah lost control over her voice for a second and almost screamed at her father, "No. There\'s no way I would agree to marry Velez. I believe we already talked about this a long time ago and you can\'t talk me out of this. Not to mention, once Mr. Vesyrn wins the battle, Prince Velez will be kicked out of the clan anyways."

"Don\'t write a book, Leah." The royal ancestor who was surprisingly sober scolded her instantly. As Leah looked at her, Aurelia shed some light on the matter so that Leah would get complete clarity.

"His Majesty would like to betroth you to Vesyrn Garcia."

"What!" Now, Leah couldn\'t help but scream very loudly. She never expected to hear this. "He is Azrael\'s father. No, that\'s not even the point. He is married for god\'s sake."

King Lucas had expected this same reaction from her. Hence, he calmly dealt with the problem by questioning, "What do you know about the former deity of love, Eros?"

In an instant, it clicked in Leah\'s head. She understood everything and explained, "More than a hundred thousand years ago, Emperor Arthur and his nine generals fought against Eros to steal his divinity and enter the god realm at the same time. However, the one who really finished him off was General Garcia.

For killing a true god, he and his entire lineage were cursed for eternity. As a result, the descendants of General Garcia cannot live their lives with either their true love or have s*x with anyone. If they do go against this curse, they might be fine but their partners will die under various circumstances.

The direct descendants will be the ones who will be affected by the curse the most. The other descendants might be less affected, which varies from person to person but in the end, even they couldn\'t escape from feeling hurt.

There is a reason why so few couples live in the Death clan village and most of them are widowers or singletons.

Since Mr. Vesyrn is a direct descendant and already had a son with Ms. Izora with another child on the way, it is already miracle enough that she still lives. Perhaps, her death has been postponed because of the fact that she spent more than a decade in a coma.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Now that she returned, it won\'t be very long before she dies. The probability is high during childbirth. Once she dies, Mr. Vesyrn becomes a widower and Azrael will become a motherless child. Both of them will be heartbroken.

Hence, you want me to take her place as Mr. Vesyrn will become the monarch of the Death clan.

As the host of celestial grade Arcana, I\'m strong enough to resist the curse. And once I enter the supreme realm, I would probably be exempted from the curse just like the wives of General Garcia.

This is why you have suggested such a bizarre proposal at this point in time. Did I miss anything?" She asked while giving a sharp stare at her father. Compared to the minute ago when she all looked like an obedient graceful-looking lady, her current image was completely in contrast, taking everyone by surprise albeit slightly.

Lucas was quick to come out of his stupor and nodded with a pleasant smile on his face, "That\'s my daughter. You are really intelligent enough to figure out my intentions. Look, we don\'t know what happens fifty years later when the war begins with the Arcturian Empire (The Federation of Arcturian).

We don\'t have much time left to secure the future of Camelot. Since your aunt has gone into a path we aren\'t proud of, you were the only one who had to carry this burden. We need to act fast when an opportunity arises."

Leah stayed silent for a while. His father thought that she was contemplating this matter but she was actually thinking about whether she should tell her father about Azzy or not.

In the end, she replied by addressing the other two, "Mother, Teacher, I need to talk to my father, alone."
