My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 447 Leah's Strange Bold Actions

Leah explained that Orichalcum was a metal alloy created by Camelot after decades of research.

As Azzy doesn't need it to control the natural energy, he didn't ask for too many details and calmly diverted the matter to the internal affairs of Camelot during the past two decades.

Talking between themselves, both of them left the White Mountains, ignoring Javion who appeared to be not only jealous of Azzy's talent but also of the closeness between the latter and the princess. He also didn't like the fact that his crush left him like that and went away with the new guy.

General Javion knew Leah for decades and both of them call each other short names but she never linked her arms with him even casually as she was doing with Azzy.

Maybe, it is because Azzy is a kid? The princess was seeing him as a boy instead of a man? Is that the reason? Javion wondered.

Meanwhile, Azzy and Leah returned to the palace, finding that their respective fathers were busy with their meeting while their respective mothers were chatting around as they were roaming in the garden.

Both of them went there. As soon as Izora saw the princess, she recognized her. As Azzy was about to introduce Leah to her, Izora greeted her, "Hello, Princess Leah. It's been a while."

Leah responded to the greetings with a smile followed by praise, "Ms. Izora, I must say that you have not only become younger but also more beautiful from the last time we met 27 years ago."

Maybe, it was a casual comment she did without any thinking, or maybe, she purposely praised her. Whatever the case, Izora felt happy when it came from someone like Leah.

Shaking her hands, she praised in return, "I should say that to you, Princess Leah. Your beauty and talent are something that every woman in the world can feel envy."

As Leah giggled without trying to be modest, Izora then asked about her partner from the world league. She wanted to know whether the princess is still in touch with him.

Leah glanced at Azzy from the corner of her eyes and covered up the truth with a white lie, "It's been a while since he entered Arcana world. You know that it isn't easy to make a breakthrough to the Supreme realm."

"He is already at that stage, huh." Izora believed her words, as in her eyes, there was no reason for the princess to lie to her. She further said, "but then again, with his talent, it is normal."

"Mom?" Azzy decided to play along since it has come this way. "Who are you talking about?"

Izora immediately explained to her son, "Azrael is Leah's partner when she participated and win the world league in the senior division when they were only teenagers.

Even though we never remembered him, we were heavily indebted to him. If not for him, neither of us would have been alive, right now.

As repayment, we named you after him, although by great coincidence, it happened to be the founder's name too."

Azzy had listened to that story once from Oakley, a while ago, so, he was calmer. However, Leah and her mother were hearing it for the first time.

While the Queen was wondering why she too forgot that face, Leah, on the other hand, took a glance at Azzy once again and thought that this friend's emotionless expression was really helping him act like he had no idea.

Suddenly, she thought of an idea and let out a smile, "Ms. Izora, I think I can help you remember him. When we visited play city together, we had taken pictures together. If I search the albums in the storage room, I think we can find one."

Azzy's heartbeat peaked all of a sudden and he abruptly turned his head, muttering. "This woman…"

"Hmm?" The Queen, who was observing Azzy, felt the change in his gaze. She wondered what it might be.

Fortunately, Izora didn't focus on her son and simply shook her head, "It's alright. I might not remember him but I remember my promise to not bother him again or even try to search for him ever again. So, it's better this way."

Azzy sighed in relief before intensely glaring at Leah's back as the latter Leah grinned in her head, feeling the gaze on her.

After a while, as the Queen continued to spend time with Izora, the princess escorted Azzy to his room.

Upon reaching the destination where no soldiers were guarding or patrolling around, Azzy brought up the topic, "Leah, what were you doing earlier?" To show his displeasure, he even sealed his soul orb and furrowed his brows.

In response, Leah reached out to his face and suddenly pinched his cheek, "It's just a joke. I keep forgetting that you are still a kid, Azzy. I must say that your angry face is quite cute."

Azzy quickly swatted her arm away, "I'm not a kid." He felt a bit humiliated and surprised by her actions.

Leah then surprised him once again, this time, by pushing him toward the wall. Her lips were only an inch away from his lips as she whispered, "then, shall we discuss things like adults?"

Azzy's heartbeat spiked as her upper body was pressed against his. Feeling hot, he slightly pushed her away with a reddened face and stuttered, "Wha… what the hell… are you trying to do?"

Leah winked one eye and gave a cheeky reply, "Nothing. I just wanted to see your reaction, kid. Go and freshen up. I'll come by again by lunchtime. I guess it might have taken an hour more for all the dishes to be prepared."

"You… you… you…" Azzy couldn't just comprehend the reason behind her actions at all, making him wonder whether she also had gone under personality change during the past 27 years. "What's wrong with her?"

Meanwhile, Leah was just grinning to herself as she left the room, thinking that Azzy's earlier expressions and reactions are so cute.

The next day;

At early in the morning, Azzy and his family followed the King to the heavily guarded treasury room. From there, they entered the pocket dimension, which was filled with several towers, each one at 500-600 meters tall.

King Lucas then introduced the place to everyone, "This is the backbone of our Camelot, the elemental towers. Each of these towers is a training ground, constructed by elemental crystals, complex runes, and corresponding elemental skills.

As you can see… that red tower you see is the fire tower. The blue tower is the water tower, all the way up to the dark tower.

All of them were built during Emperor Arthur's time (100,000 years ago) and it took so much work for his generals to help him construct them despite the fact that everyone possessed the best Arcana out there for an attribute.

However, two of his generals initially refused to build their respective towers, namely, the owners of Yggdrasil and the Death Scythe."

As soon as Azzy heard those words, his ears perked up and paid attention to him. Vesyrn and Izora were also listening to him attentively.

King Lucas continued, "General Triastal and General Garcia have the attributes of life and death respectively. Since the life attribute can only be seen in either angels or the elves and the death attribute is something that only the Garcia family and their direct descendants used to possess, they felt that it is not necessary.

Emperor Arthur agreed to it but your founder had the change of the heart later on. For some unknown reason, he gifted the tower of time and told Emperor Arthur to not let any unworthy individual enter the place.

He stressed that only those who don't have the potential to become a demigod or atleast a Supreme realm must not be allowed to enter this place where time runs extremely slow.

For 100,000 years, descendants of the royal family have been using this chamber and this is probably the first time we were letting someone outside of our blood.

As for the rules, all we know so far is that the time runs differently inside the time chamber at different levels. It depends on potential. For some, it is 5 to 6 times slower, and as for children of heaven like Leah, they can reach even the tenth level, i.e. 10 times.

However, I can guarantee that if both of you were to spend 30 days inside, at the very least, you will get 150 days of time. Take this special pocket watch with you so that you will know what day and time are on the outside."
