My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 442 Azzy Reunites With Leah
While Qridus and Vesyrn sat with the King of Camelot to discuss the usage of the ancient time chamber, Izora and Azzy were touring around the castle along with the Queen of Camelot.
Azzy already toured once and he doesn't seem to be that interested. Instead, he planned to use this opportunity to meet Leah.
After taking permission from his mom to tour around the city on his own, Azzy left the castle and made his way toward the White Mountains.
Within no time, he reached the foot of the mountain with the gravity staircase.
Azzy saw a couple of soldiers stationed at the entrance. Hence, he had to use the erasure skill card to turn invisible and proceed to climb the steps.
Upon reaching the cave at the top, he found two figures in the middle of an intense spar, the first being Leah and the other being a middle-aged fellow with good looks.
They appeared to be evenly matched but Azzy didn't see the Excalibur in Leah's hands. It means that she was stronger despite the fact that she was only at low-rank-7 while her opponent is at the peak-rank-7 stage.
With Azzy hiding his soul power, neither of them sensed his presence. The Excalibur realized it but the Arcana spirit didn't warn his host and let it play out.
While the man was in a defensive stance, Leah was full-on offensive.
She was attacking her opponent, left and right, but the veteran expert managed to hold on his own while trying to use her soul energy as little as possible. Azzy quietly watched them from the distance.
Leah was sweating from top to bottom and there were cuts on her body here and there but she looked damn pretty. It would be a lie if Azzy wasn't awed at all.
She was already too beautiful 27 years ago when she wasn't even a proper adult, but now, looking like she is in her mid-twenties, the princess of Camelot was perhaps the most perfect beauty in Azzy's eyes.
Fortunately, Claire's image popped up in his head and calmed him down.
*Cling*
Clashing the sword once again and pushing back her opponent, Leah let out a smile, "What happened, Jav? Today, you seemed a bit distracted."
The man shook his head as he gripped his sword tightly, "Nothing of the sort, princess. It is just that my father wanted to marry… Hmm…"
His eyes suddenly fell on a teenager who was watching them in silence. He raised his voice in displeasure, "Hey kid. Who are you?"
Only then did Leah turn around and saw Azzy. A shock appeared on her face before her face glowed with happiness, "Azrael? Is that you?"
Azzy let out a smile and slowly walked forward steadily as if the high gravitational force trapped in this place didn't bother him a little bit. "It's been a while, partner. Sorry for not making it to the dinner party due to unavoidable circumstances."
The moment she heard those words, Leah left her sword and dashed toward him, leaving a bewildered Javion.
After giving him a tight hug, she said, "Welcome back, Azrael. Can't say how much pleased I am to see you again. I wasn't aware of the exact timeline, and so, I thought that I would have to wait for hundreds of years to meet you again."
This time, it was Azzy's turn to be shocked. He expected her to remember him as she is the host of a celestial grade Arcana but he never thought that she figures out that he is a time traveler.
Apart from Claire and Oakley, he mentioned it to no one, and he was confident that they won't tell to anyone else.
Freeing from her embrace, he asked, "How do you know?"
Leah let out a smile in response and asked in return, "did you forget what my Arcana spirit is?"
The Reaper then explained to Azzy that Excalibur wasn't just a simple celestial grade Arcana. It was also a partner for Arthur Pendragon and knew the founder of the Death clan.
Azzy wondered whether Leah knew about his truth from the moment she met him and pretending not to know all this while. However, that no longer mattered to him and he was just happy to see his beautiful friend again.
"So, you have just returned huh." "Yeah." "What about Claire?" "She's away." "Hmm?" "It's a bit too hard to explain at the moment" "No, I haven't heard of that pointy-eared guy. I don't know much about him, you know. But, you should know about Estella and your friend Gideon." "Eh? The one in our clan is a clone? Not the real one?"
Ignoring the guy standing a distance and watching them in wonder, Azzy and Leah continued to chat with each other. Azzy had really found some shocking news.
"Really? I didn't know that they were your parents. Now, it makes sense why you went all the way to Freyles." Leah was taken aback upon learning that Azzy's parents were Izora and Vesyrn.
Meanwhile, Azzy was telling her how he was also surprised that Mia was married and even had a kid of his age.
Leah nodded in response and told him that she was regularly in touch with Mia, although mostly because of the latter's position as the president and due to the diplomatic relations between Camelot and Northern Qudour.
Having enough of being ignored, Javion interrupted them as he walked forward to them. "Leah, you mind introducing me to your little friend?"
"Oh, Jav, I almost forgot about you. Sorry about that." Leah was pretty much chill as she spoke to him. She then introduced each other, "Azrael, this is Javion Gilmore, The commander of Camelot's special forces. And Jav, this is Azrael, my close friend from Freyles."
"Close friend?" Javion was taken aback and he took another look at Azzy. Naturally, he couldn't sense anything from the teenage boy but he won't be fooled by that. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
After all, he knew that Leah could also do that. Not to mention, a civilian without any soul power cannot climb up the steps of gravity.
But, still, because of Azzy's very young age, he didn't term him as some powerful fellow, but instead, decided to treat him like a genius kid. Of course, there's a low chance that this teenage-looking brat is actually a lot older than he looks.
However, neither Azzy nor Leah got angry when Javion addressed Azzy as a little friend of Leah earlier. Hence, Javion was sure that the second case wasn't likely the case.
And now that he realized that Azzy is a kid, he tried to treat him as one as he spoke in a nice tone, "So, Azrael, you came to Camelot for sightseeing?"
Azzy shook his head and simply replied, "It is confidential."
"Confidential?" Javion found his words more amusing now. "Kid, I'm the commander of Camelot's Special Forces and I'm the future son-in-law of the King. There's nothing confidential in front of me."
Azzy got slightly irked by his attitude, especially his fake that reeks of the superiority complex, and of course, most teenagers wouldn't like to be called as kids either. There's that too.
Since he was no longer in the past where he needed to worry about the consequences of his actions, Azzy challenged him directly to a battle, "Mr. Gilmore, let's spar a bit and see if you are worthy to handle the confidential information." f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
"Hmm?" Javion furrowed his brows while Leah wondered what was wrong with Azzy.
