My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 441 A Surprise Visit To Camelot
"Greetings, Lord Pierre."
Everyone greeted the man who was sweeping around the graves. He nodded and then stopped his gaze on Azzy for a few seconds before continuing his work in silence.
Vesyrn thought that he can come back later and proceeded to walk forward without conversing with his ancestor.
After paying respects to his parents, Vesyrn and his family left for the Crescent Clan, the place where Izora grew up.
Maybe, it is because he is too happy that his niece returned; Kylan acted a lot friendlier toward Azzy like an actual grandfather when he ignored him completely during the four years of Azzy's stay in the clan.
Meanwhile, Azzy was still struggling with how to open the topic of Barbara's death. Of course, he was very good at keeping secrets and even cooked up a story in his mind but seeing that Kylan was too happy, he fell into a dilemma on whether he should tell it right now or look a correct moment.
Soon, they went to the cemetery to pay respects to Izora's mother, who passed away during childbirth. Beside her grave lies two other graves. They belonged to Kylan's son and his daughter-in-law respectively, Barbara's parents to be exact.
Izora was kneeling in front of her mother's grave and started talking. The others meanwhile stayed far away to give her privacy.
Azzy was shocked to realize that Barbara's father actually died. He was alive two years ago. That means something had happened while he was away.
He asked Kylan who was standing next to him along with Vesyrn.
Kylan's facial expression changed as he remembered his son. He let out a sigh and explained that Miel Crescent died because of drugs and alcohol. As the reason he was addicted to them happened to be because of Barbara's disappearance, Azzy decided to speak about Barbara at some other time.
He felt slightly guilty for Miel's death as he was indirectly responsible for Barbara's missing but the Reaper reminded him that every person is responsible for his own actions. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
Azzy didn't argue with the Reaper and shifted the conversation to Izora's father whose grave wasn't built in the Crescent clan's cemetery. Of course, he too wondered whether his maternal grandfather's grave is located somewhere else.
However, he didn't expect to be surprised by the story behind this.
Kylan explained, "Honestly, we have no idea who he is. My sister only mentioned that Izora's father's name is Kruger Ravillon and he belonged to the Dragon clan. But, when I made inquiries, it became clear that there was no such person in the Dragon clan.
Maybe, my sister lied to me, or maybe, that cheating bastard… excuse me… that guy lied to your grandmother."
"Are you looking for him, even now?" asked Azzy curiously.
Kylan shook his head, "No. It has already been 120 years and Izora no longer wanted to meet him. So, there is no reason for us to look for him anymore."
Azzy then turned toward Vesyrn, "Dad, what about your parents? How did they pass away?"
Vesyrn's story also appeared to be slightly complicated. His mother died because of assassination from a dark organization, and his father committed suicide, not being able to cope with the pain of losing his wife.
Azzy found it damn weird that his paternal grandfather committed suicide when Vesyrn was only six years old. These people belonged to the main branch of the Death clan. They were supposed to be accepting the death of a closed one more than anyone else in the world.
But, as he doesn't want to criticize his ancestors, Azzy could only reply in the end with, "It must have been hard for you, dad."
Vesyrn looked at Azzy apologetically, "No, I had a lot of people who cared about me since childhood. I guess you went through a lot worse than me."
Azzy waved his hand, "it's alright. I'm at an age where I can try to understand someone."
Vesyrn patted his son's back and thanked him.
After a while, Izora returned and everyone went on a tour around the Crescent clan compound before going to other clans and meeting their past friends.
The day passed away smoothly but the night's dinner at the Garcia palace was a bit uncomfortable for several people.
As the clan heir, Velez was living in the palace and so were Azzy's family members including Oakley, who cannot return to the Night clan compound because of Avia. Hence, they couldn't avoid each other. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
Adding on top of that, Izora's family members and even Oakley's children were invited to the dinner.
As a result, Gredor Crescent, the one who hates Izora with passion also arrived. Then, there is Avia, who cannot stand the sight of her father. Some were silently eating while some were chatting and laughing together.
Amidst all of this, Qridus kept on wondering how to make Vesyrn stronger and win against Velez, a couple of months later. In his eyes, Vesyrn needs more preparations to go against the prince of Freyles.
And two days later, he put his plan into action.
Azzy or his parents weren't told where they were going to travel and just tagged along with Qridus as he traveled down the south of Freyles.
After six hours of traveling in a traditional way instead of using portal points as a shortcut, the group of four saw a group of unique-looking mountains, white in color.
Of course, all snowy mountains look white in color but these are different. There is no snow falling here and the rocks that made up the mountain are off-white in color as all of them are made of 95-99% quartz.
In an instant, Azzy recognized them. "The white mountains."
Obviously, Izora and Vesyrn also recognized them from far away. While Izora stayed silent, Vesyrn asked, "Lord Qridus, we were going to Camelot?"
Qridus nodded, "Yeah. This is the place that is going to help you in improving your strength further."
"Eh? You wanted me to train here?" Vesyrn was taken aback. Izora was also surprised after realizing the purpose of their visit.
Azzy, on the other hand, wondered how this place could help his father, who has already entered the 8-star realm. The only thing special about his place is the gravity staircase, a replica of the original one at the Death clan. But, even then, the one here is only at 20g, which clearly isn't enough.
Then, how?
Is it Aurelia, the Supreme realm expert who once trained him? Or is it the jewel of water? Azzy wondered. At the same time, he was also worried about meeting Leah, who might recognize him as the owner of a Celestial grade Arcana spirit.
He wondered how she would react. The worst comes to worst, he will have to reveal his time traveling secret, thought Azzy as the flying card slowly descended onto the ground where a group of guards in ancient wear and armor was waiting alongside their General and the King. Leah wasn't seen anywhere though.
Azzy activated his aura-sensing ability and scanned his hundred-kilometer surroundings, finding the princess in the White Mountains, fighting with someone.
"Thank goodness." Azzy sighed in relief, feeling that things became easier for him. Soon, the flying card landed on the ground at the entrance of the castle city and the group of four stepped down before the King greeted them.
