My Soul card is a Reaper

<strong>The following day;</strong>

<strong>Royal palace grounds, Freyles;</strong>

"All the best, Rael," Estella cheered on the side as Azzy and Ragron walked into their positions.

Scarlet, Kylan, and a few other people turned into spectators, murmuring between themselves.

They were standing about 10 meters apart, facing each other. Azzy had the same look, the same expressionless face. On the other hand, Ragron seemed to be amused by the situation he was in. He is a legendary realm expert, the one and only King of Rivendell is fighting against a brat who was still in puberty.

"Go on, kid. As the elder, I will give you an opportunity of five minutes head-start where I won't attack you and neither would I dodge. As I have mentioned before, I will not use my Arcana and will even suppress my strength to peak-rank-5. I believe this would be enough, right?" Ragron tried to provoke Azzy with his blunt words.

However, Azzy wasn't the type to lose his cool easily. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the surroundings. Soon, translucent energy started to appear over him.

<strong>"Thousand hand Bodhisattva."</strong>

The translucent energy gushed out of him, transforming into a giant figure who was sitting in a lotus position. Meanwhile, several hands started to appear one after another.

Ragron's facial expression suddenly changed, "natural energy? What kind of technique is that?"

Soon, as the entire figure is formed, Azzy opened his eyes and looked at him, "Are you ready?"

<strong>One hour ago;</strong>

At around 7 o'clock, Azzy went to see his foster parents see if they can eat breakfast together. During the last night's dinner, he couldn't eat with Affea because of that king from Rivendell.

When he went there with Ethan, he found the door was still open but inside the room, there was this unpleasant guest sitting with his foster family and having tea with them. There's also his maternal grand-uncle and some stranger.

Did they make amends perhaps? He wondered as he knocked on the door. "Excuse me…"

In an instant, Affea's eyes lit up and she left her seat immediately with a smile on her face, "Azzy, you came at the right time. I was just wondering whether I should go and wake you up but you are here. Come, let's go and have a walk in the gardens."

Looking to the side at the little girl who was quietly sitting on a chair, she further said, "Avia, you too follow me."

But, just as she made two steps forward, a voice escaped by the stranger, who was facing against her earlier, "Affea, sit down quietly. I'm not finished yet."

Without looking back, the stranger with shoulder-length hair with grey streaks said, "The person who doesn't have any business must leave."

Azzy was surprised by his tone and looked at Affea as if he was asking whether he should come back later.

But, Affea suddenly exploded in anger, "He's my son, Eldest brother. And I won't sit around and do nothing if you don't control your tongue."

"Oh, it's that genius orphan kid that you took in. I thought it's some servant." The stranger commented in realization before he turns his head and looked at the entrance, "strange, you don't have soul energy?"

"The kid is indeed a genius to hide it perfectly even from true experts like us, Prince Snieca." Ragron praised Azzy with a smile. But, he didn't turn his head to particularly look at him.

Azzy narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of the stranger for a couple of seconds. He was a little bit angry to be called an orphan but he calmed down himself, remembering Affea addressed this man as her elder brother.

"Kid, we are busy, right now. Can you come sometime, later?" Kylan chimed in before pointing at Avia, "Oh, please take this little girl with you. It's uncomfortable for adults to talk with her, here."

"Well, you can talk between yourselves, then. I'm going. Come Avia." Affea walked forward.

Once again, the prince of Snieca shouted, "I said sit down."

His voice was loud enough to hear all the way to the end of the corridor, startling the servants and the other experts who are comfortable sleeping in their beds.

Avia shivered for a moment before rushing away from her seat and hiding behind her father.

"Calm down, Prince Snieca. There are Venerable Masters residing in their rooms." Kylan reminded him where he was and made him cool down. In front of Supreme realm experts, their identities such as prince and a king wouldn't matter. They do what they want.

The government wouldn't want to interfere unless they cross the bottom line or there's someone like Aegis Light working for the government who is unafraid of offending them.

Usually, only an organization like WAMO can handle these powerhouses. So, the crown prince of Snieca no longer made a ruckus and spoke in a normal tone, this time, directing his voice at the silent Oakley, "Brother-in-law, let us not cause trouble, okay? Tell Affea to sit down."

"Dear…" Oakley called her. As she turned around, he gestured with his face, requesting her. After a decade of enmity, the Snieca's royal family finally came to peace and acknowledged him as their son-in-law. He doesn't want to disturb the relations once again.

Even though Oakley had a reason to forgive them, Affea was still angry with her second brother and her eldest brother who dared to abduct their daughter and tried to break her marriage for their benefit.

She looked at Azzy and said, "You are also a family member. Come inside and listen to what your uncle had to say."

Before he replied anything, she grabbed his arm and dragged him with her, and stopped in front of the three intruders that barged into their guest room.

Looking at her brother, she further said while raising the three fingers, "Eldest brother, I need to tell you three things. One, I don't care about you or that old man who disowned me, a decade ago.

Two, my home is no longer the place where I grew up but it is where my husband's home is. If he lives in Aclein, then, Aclein it is. If it is a tiny town in Southern Qudour, then, I will live there happily. Now that my in-laws removed the expulsion of my husband and let us live in the clan compound of the Night clan, it will be my home in the future.

And three, not only Avia and Oakley, but Azzy is also off the limits for the both of you. I'll go to any lengths when it comes to my family even if that person is my brother or a King of some country.

If there's still anything that you wanted to discuss, then, please be my guest."

She crossed her arms as she took the seat, looking at her brother, sharply. Realizing that Azzy is still standing and Avia is still hiding behind the chair where Oakley sat, she told them to take a seat.

Azzy didn't hesitate to just sit on the bed as there weren't any spare chairs in the room. While taking the seat, he stared at the King of Rivendell.

As if Ragron felt the gaze on him, he glanced at Azzy and opened his mouth while the crown prince of Snieca was stumped by her words.

After all, the crown prince only came here to the wedding to convince her and take her back to the palace on his father's orders. Oakley just said that he will follow the wishes of his wife, to which the latter firmly reduced it, citing the security concerns along with the trust.

"It looks like Mr. Azrael wanted to tell something to me?" Ragron looked at Azzy, changing the topic all of a sudden.

Affea furrowed her brows and then, turned her head to look in Azzy's direction. The remaining people also glanced at him for a second.

Azzy asked, "Do you know that your son's soul orb was sealed, two days ago? Did he return to normal with the Magnolis family's help? I heard that Rivendell doesn't have any Supreme Realm experts to treat him."

In an instant, Ragron's facial expression changed, "I came here to visit the wedding in peace but you had to go ahead and provoke me. You are really a gusty kid."
