My Soul card is a Reaper

"Third bow to the Goddess of Marriage, Hera"

"Take an oath with Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Light, Dark, Space, Time, Life, and Death as the witness."

"The Groom takes the pledge to provide for the welfare and happiness for his wife and children."

"The Bride promises to happily and equally shoulder the responsibilities for the welfare of groom and their family."

The wedding rituals went smoothly but Azzy couldn\'t meet his mother as she left with Kylan, very soon. Following the traditions, the bride can only meet the guests either before the marriage or on the second day. And the day of marriage will be spent at her maternal home instead of staying with the husband.

Azzy found it so weird but what he can do? They exist for tens of thousands of years.

Meanwhile, the bridegroom aka his father was being introduced to the distinguished guests one after another by the current king, who is also a direct descendant of the Garcia family.

Affea told him that Vesyrn is the nephew of the King but Azzy doubt that very much for he knew the existence of the Death Clan. So, he thought his foster mother was trying to cover up the truth just like the others.

After like half an hour or so, the King and Vesyrn finally arrived where Azzy was. Oakley tagged along with them.

Azzy\'s heartbeat increased for a moment when he saw his father was standing right before him. There was this inexplicable joy in his heart to meet him, nearly 18 months after his arrival to this timeline.

He managed to calm down while Oakley introduced them. "Master Garcia, This is my wife, Affea Snieca, our daughter Avia Night, and our foster son, Azrael."

If it was Affea, she wouldn\'t have mentioned the word foster and just addresses him as her son but emotionally, the Divine Physician of Aclein City, Oakley Night wasn\'t that attached to Azzy compared to his wife.

Not to mention, Azzy\'s relation to Aelius Crescent has already been revealed to Kylan Crescent and Qridus Garcia. He wasn\'t even confident that he can claim his custody, any longer.

Azzy also didn\'t mind it and calmly gave a bow, "Hello, nice to meet you. Congratulations on the wedding. I wish you happiness and prosperity."

As Azzy congratulated him like everyone, Vesyrn let out a smile, "thanks. Actually, I and my wife attended the Champions League and watched your battles. And I also heard about your sparring against King Ragron. If there\'s an opportunity arrives in the future, I would love to spar with you one day."

Azzy was stunned for a second as he didn\'t know that his father and mother came to Aclein City. All of a sudden, something struck him. The Reaper once mentioned how his parents are watching his battle. Was he referring to them, not Affea and Oakley?

However, it isn\'t the time to think about the matter that passed away.

Azzy thanked him and replied that he looked forward to it. His plain tone and emotionless expression brought a frown on the King for a second but Vesyrn nodded and waved his hand with a smile as he was familiar with it with his clansmen, "we\'ll talk later."

After he left to meet other guests, Avia commented, "He looks a bit easy to approach compared to elders OR the clan members in high positions. All of them have this stoic faces and have this mysterious air as if they look down on them." While saying that, she took a glance at Azzy. In her opinion, he isn\'t that different from the Night Clan Elders.

"You\'ll become one of those elders too, Master." Azzy thought in his head upon hearing her comment.

Later in the evening, Azzy went to dinner in the hopes of meeting his father, once again but unfortunately, he heard from Oakley that Vesyrn was in a private dinner with Qridus, the Moon Clan\'s Matriarch, and a couple of Supreme Realm experts.

And so, he was forced to dine with Estella and her mother as they joined the table. Ragron was also at the dinner but he didn\'t approach and just chatted with other guests with smiles as it was too embarrassing for him to meet them.

The day passed away without any issues.

The next day, at around 10 o\'clock, the wedding reception was started. The venue, this time, was the palace grounds, which were decorated grandly.

Hundreds of guests who are officials of the government, ambassadors from other countries, journalists and reporters, and some very important guests started to arrive.

Azzy tagged along with his family.

His mother and father were just standing on a podium while being photographed with each guest much to the disapproval of the elders. But, since it is Vesyrn\'s wish to make a wedding album for memories, no one dared to object.

Azzy and his foster family sat in the Night Clan\'s section at a separate table and wait for their turn. He and Avia were watching while Oakley was informing them about the identities of these distinguished guests.

Surprisingly, King Brian Light attended the lunch banquet with his wife. It\'s unknown whether he knew about Azzy\'s presence or not, but Azzy didn\'t like his presence for sure.

One by one, people are arriving.

Eventually, Azzy found a chariot that was pulled by seven horses in the sky.

As it passed the grounds like lightning, Oakley furrowed his brows, "It\'s the Sun Clan."

"Sun Clan?" Azzy took another glance in the direction where the horses disappeared. They must have landed around the stables.

He only knew their name from the Book of Death. Since he doesn\'t know anything else, he asked the Reaper as Oakley changed the topic, right away.

The Reaper explained the details, "You know that the Sun Clan is a hidden clan just like the Death Clan and Moon Clan but what you don\'t know is that they were once the rulers of Phoenix Empire. Emperor Arthur, your clan founder Azrael Garcia, and Aelanor Moon defeated them in war and annexed their Empire into the Empire of Arcana.

While they used to stay loyal to the throne, they were bitter rivals or to one extent, enemies with Garcia Clan and Moon Clans.

Putting that aside, the Sun Clan is indeed fortunate to be blessed by the divine bird Phoenix. There\'s always a child in the family to awaken Phoenix as Arcana. The divine bird isn\'t just the symbol of fire but it is also immortal. The child who awakened it will have nine lives before the divine bird will deem its host as unworthy and no longer provide immortality.

Oh, by the way, the Qin family\'s ancestor is the founder of Phoenix Academy."

"Oh…" Azzy felt overwhelmed by this new piece of information. 9 lives… How amazing is that? But, still, he was proud that no other Arcana Spirit is more amazing than his.

Eventually, an old woman made his way towards the VIP section where a bunch of overpowered old men and women were sitting together.

About 20 minutes later, another hidden clan representative has arrived on a dragon.

"It is the Dragon Clan." Oakley gasped in surprise, this time.

Upon hearing that the clan heads personally made a trip, Azzy wondered why they bothered to do so, just for his father\'s marriage. Is it because his father is the next clan head? Or do they want to discuss some other important matters?
