My Soul card is a Reaper

"So, this is Camelot. It's my first time witnessing a Castle city." Claire mumbled to herself as she looked around through her binoculars, standing at the second floor's balcony. "But, this kingdom is very much landlocked. Our Triastal have amazing beaches."

With a castle in the center, a city was developed around it. The forest of Glarith and Darkling woods are acting as a barrier for the city for the most part. To go outside, a road was constructed, connecting to the city of Fyrein in the north.

Even Azzy was surprised at how they not only managed to preserve the ancient architecture but also rebuilt the city in exactly the same way it was written in ancient history books.

The so-called forest of Glarith and Darkling woods weren't natural forests but man-made forests supposedly created under the orders of Leah's father, the current King.

So, one can say the current city of Camelot is relatively a new one. That explains how uniform everything was built.

The only thing that Azzy felt was out of his expectations is the lifestyle of the natives.

At first, he thought it is a lot similar to that of the Death clan village, where almost no one use any sort of modern technology as if they still live in ancient times. Later, he realized only the architecture was similar. Unlike his homeland, people are pretty much updated just like any other modern city.

While Claire was busy assessing the kingdom, Azzy and his family were chatting with Syllia who also came along because of her sister. She was worried about her safety as the land is very far away from their home. Moreover, with how Azzy has his own enemies, Affea and her family have their own enemies, she couldn't leave her alone with them.

As for Claire's relationship with Azzy, Syllia was completely against it because of a number of reasons but for the sake of her sister's happiness, she decided to give Azzy, a chance. She knew how powerful he is but she didn't know what kind of person he is. It was another reason she was in the Camelot.

*knock* knock*

An hour later, Leah was back with a man in luxurious robes with golden armor beneath it, and a crown on his head.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." As soon as the King entered the room, the adults stood up from the seats and greeted him. However, their attention was grabbed the beautiful crown on his head or more like the blue gem embedded in it along with several diamonds.

Even Azzy was the same. Meanwhile, Claire returned to the room from the balcony and she remembered the afternoon when she saw the bright green gem during the royal feast, more than a month ago. It was the same feeling she got from this one too.

"my, my… What a surprise. I didn't expect this royal family managed to protect it for a hundred thousand years." The Reaper's words echoed Azzy's head.

"Is that also a Cosmic Gem?" Just like Claire, Azzy also got the same feeling from it.

"Yeah, it is the Jewel of Water. It contains an infinite amount of pure water. The one who possesses the Gem will be able to control the water to use it for defensive or offensive purposes. Of course, its power only reflects its owner's strength and just like your Jewel of Life, it is bound to a soul." The Reaper couldn't help but added a statement about his fate in the end, "It looked like Moira indeed wrote a phenomenal fate for you, Azrael."

Of course, Azzy didn't like being controlled by some stranger even if she's a Goddess. But, it isn't the time to think about such things anyway. Azzy quickly managed to avert his eyes from the Gem.

Meanwhile, Leah was all smiles as she saw the expressions of her guests. While Azzy appeared to be indifferent like before, however, she was very perceptive of her surroundings. As soon as Azzy's eyes widened, she realized he was also the same as others.

She then introduced her father, "this is my father, the current King of Camelot, Lucas Pendragon."

"Father, this is Azrael, and this is his family." Despite the presence of two royal princesses in the room, Leah first introduced Azrael and then, the exiled princess who no longer possesses the status of royalty as a means to rile up the sisters of Triastal.

And she also succeeded by making Syllia angry. However, considering she wasn't here representing Triastal and her reasoning was only to protect her sister, Syllia forced herself to calm down. As for Claire, her only concern was Leah's attitude towards Azzy.

"So, you are the genius kid I keep hearing from my daughter." The King seemed to be easygoing too even though he knew Azzy was a commoner. He smiled as he put forth his hand, "I heard that you are only 13-years-old. Almost reaching intermediate-stage of Elite realm. Not bad. Anyways, pleased to meet you."

Shaking his hand with his hands and bowing his head slightly, Azzy replied, "Pleasure is mine, Your Majesty."

After greeting the others and apologizing for not coming sooner due to the meeting with the General, he asked them to join him for dinner.

Everyone also agreed to it.

Azzy usually could sleep even in new places but he couldn't sleep as his mind was replaying the moment when his eyes fell on the blue gem. He coveted the cosmic gem but he knew it was impossible, so, he tried to push those thoughts away.

The next day morning, Azzy woke up early because of the continuous knocks on the door.

*Yawn* "It's only 4:35. Who is disturbing my sleep at this hour…" Azzy suddenly remembered that he's now in Camelot.

Switching on the lights, he slowly walked to the door and opened it only to see two soldiers accompanied by Leah who is wearing a black shirt, long pants, and gloves. Her hair was also tied into a ponytail. It was unlike her usual typical Princess image as Azzy only saw her in traditional wear every time.

Even though they looked simple, in the training outfit, with her well-developed body and tight-fitting clothes, she looked extremely sexy in Azzy's eyes but thankfully, he was immune to such charms after spending a year with his maternal aunt in the Death clan. So, he didn't show any reaction and behaved normally, at least on the outside, "Princess Leah?"

"Morning, Azrael. The royal teacher is on her way. Let's hit the Royal Training grounds." She urged him to hurry up.

At first, her face was filling with excitement but soon, it was drained away as Azzy dragged Claire along with him.

She was signed up for it. So, she put up with nuisance. "I'll make sure this girl to give up on her own."

Leah has nothing against her and she neither had any romantic feelings towards Azzy too. She was only slightly interested in him because of his sky-high potential.

If Claire isn't in a relationship with Azzy, she might probably treat her as a sister too. However, now that she knows the truth, Leah felt like it's important to show Claire that she isn't worthy of Azzy, the reincarnation of her ancestor's General.

Under Leah's lead, Azzy, Claire, and Syllia entered the forest, exited it, and soon, by the time of dawn, they reached the Mountains of Ascetir.

They stopped at the foot of one of the hills with a barrier over it which surprisingly has a staircase.

"Eh? This is…" A memory of climbing the stairs jogged in Azzy's mind.
