My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 363 Leah Challenges Azzy



"In those moments, Gideon and Claire never left my side no matter how I treated them. My family members might have returned to my life but these two didn\'t leave my heart. Maybe, this is why I accepted Claire\'s love when she proposed to me.

To me, at first, she was a good friend, a beautiful girl, a clever person with a straightforward character. But, now, she\'s a person that I cherish. Yes, sometimes, she does behave a bit obsessive and gets jealous a lot of times but she never does something that I will be upset about. You can see that it\'s hard to tell what was I feeling when you see my face but she could accurately guess it.

It\'s not that she has only positives. Just like any other human, Claire also had negative qualities but despite all of that, she is a good person."

For a moment, Leah was touched by Azzy\'s sincerity. In her view, he wasn\'t an emotional person like others. Her opinion was probably influenced by his actions and a blank face. Now, she felt like seeing a new side of him.

But then again, she remembered something important. His side is clear but was that really love? She never fell in love or even had a crush on a male or a female in her life. So, she doesn\'t know it for sure but she felt like Azzy was just trying to save his friendship with Claire rather than loving her.

Moreover, what about Claire? Why does she like him? It\'s not like Azzy did something for her. Perhaps, looks and strength?

It\'s possible considering Claire was a teenager and so was Azzy.

Well, Leah wasn\'t an adult yet but still, she was three years older than him and knew for sure that most female teenagers date guys with either powerful backgrounds or high soul power. It is a common thing all over the world.

More than half of those couples will break up after they graduate from the academy and get into high studies. Some will study together and some will keep distant relationships.

But, eventually, once they become adults and get into society, only 2-3% of them would still continue to be in a relationship.

She knew that Azzy will get to meet a lot of people in the future and his personality will also be shaped by the society he is going to enter. She was neither against Claire nor does have any designs on him but as a friend, Leah wanted to help him. However, she cannot touch his nerve with her words.

So, she carefully chose the words as she asked, "everything is good and all but I still have one doubt, Azrael. What about trust issues? Do you truly trust each other?"

"Hmm?" Azzy was actually going down a memory lane as he explained his feelings, which he didn\'t even tell Claire, but when he was asked about trust, he returned to reality and firmly defended their relationship, "of course."

"This is purely hypothetical. Just imagine that you are separated from Claire for a couple of months due to some special mission assigned by WAMO. Then, the day of the reunion arrives. You wanted to surprise her. So, without giving prior notice, you will go to meet her at the school. Upon enquiring with the friends, you will hear that she is in the cafeteria.

But, when you go there, you will see Claire was having lunch with a boy alone, for example, that student named Louis or that guy with the shield in your team. Both of them appeared to be laughing together in happiness. How would you feel then? Will you think of it as nothing because you trust your girlfriend or will you suspect that your girlfriend\'s love had waned?"

Leah\'s motive behind such a question is quite simple. She wanted Azzy to understand his own feelings properly.

Unfortunately for her, Azzy had already gone through a similar experience during the trial at the tomb of Demigod Amerys. In front of that scenario, her question was nothing.

He calmly answered with a nod, "I might feel a little bit jealous but that\'s it. Forget about 2 months, even if I disappear for 20 years, I\'m confident that she\'ll wait for me. In case Claire breaks my trust someday, I still won\'t hate her."

"This guy had already prepared his mind for a breakup even at the start of the relationship?" Leah couldn\'t understand how Azzy was prepared for a worst-case scenario and still loves Claire at the same time. A sudden thought came to her mind.

She let out a mysterious smile, "Okay, you are good. But, what about Claire? Does she trust you the same as you trust her?"

Azzy also nodded this time without thinking much, "Of course, or else, why would she accept a beautiful girl like you as my partner? Fully knowing that I\'ll spend my time a lot of time alone with another girl like this, she still gave her consent without being worried. Why? She trusts me that I will not have any thoughts about any girl other than her."

"Oh, is that so?" Leah felt as if he was bragging about his devotion. She doesn\'t know why she even continued the matter but before she thinks too much, the words escaped her mouth, "How about you go on a date with me? I want to see if there\'s any truth in those words. Since we have a lot of time, we can go to an amusement park and spend there for a couple of hours. After that, you can leave for Silver city. How about it?"

"Eh?" Azzy was taken aback by her proposition. He didn\'t expect her of all the people would ask him for a date. Maybe, he was really loyal that his heartbeat didn\'t even change for a bit when such a fairy-looking girl wanted to go on a date with him. Instead, he scolded her, "Don\'t you think you are going too far, Princess Leah? Moreover, why should I prove it to you this way? Whatever the matter is, it is between me and Claire."

Leah had probably expected Azzy to react like this or perhaps, she was only maintaining her expression on the outside. Whatever the case, Leah didn\'t flinch a bit and countered him with a provocation, "Why? Are you afraid that your heart will flutter for me just because you had fun at an amusement park? If you are that confident in your love, why fear? And if you are worried about Claire\'s feelings, you can just inform her beforehand and explain everything before taking her consent. I have no problem with it."

Azzy could clearly imagine the scene where Claire will lecture him to death if he had done. Back when he was invited to Camelot, she was very much disappointed. The memory was fresh in his mind.

However, if he doesn\'t accept this, then, it is the same as admitting that he doesn\'t trust his own feelings towards Claire. Not to mention, he wasn\'t a person who would cower before a challenge.

As a result, Azzy gave a nod, "alright but it is just a friendly date, I\'m telling you."

"That\'s obvious. Why would I act all romantically towards you just for a challenge?" Leah replied in a casual tone.
