The sun was already rearing.

Its rays began to crawl through the inn's sides, then slowly crept their way into the husband's room. Within this room, the sound of tapping continuously rang out. The one who kept doing this was Kyoya who was sitting on the bed's edge.

His eyes were slightly narrowed as he supported his chin with his crossed hands.

It seemed as if he was taken back by something, staring into nothingness unmoved. Even while the sun rays crawled their way to his face and eyes through his body, Kyoya just stared forward.

No one could awaken him and stop the thoughts that were clashing into each other like unstoppable waves.

'Innocent. She was way too innocent back then… It's the fault of that damned Sixth Death God… Don't they have to go on the missions outside? Why would you keep her closed in the death castle for so many years? Fucking tsundere.'

Xaya spoke that the death god found her alone in the high world pillar, then just took her to his death castle after confirming that she could become his disciple. She spent her childhood in the castle by looking at him working with the divine rules in his office. It was first preparation to her becoming his disciple already, but the death god also couldn't just leave her alone in the death castle.

He sacrificed an hour to teach her words, but Xaya was indeed confined in one place for most of her childhood. She was taken around the death castle by Death God's wife, but it was limited to this space only.

Her first fifty years of education were done by Death God and his wife, then Xaya began doing her work as a disciple. She learned a lot about the world and knew about both sides of humanity and other races.

However, when Xaya began interacting with the souls, she became charmed.

It was because what she learned lacked the emotions. Of course, she knew that humans could be bad, evil and completely opposite. She knew how races operated, what motivated most of them and how they reproduced and kept their lineage pure and strong. All of this was just sheer knowledge, though.

'Because Sixth Death God is a fucking tsundere.'

So when Xaya could peek at the souls accepting their deaths and overcoming their regrets, Xaya also saw their emotions and what pushed them to live. She was charmed by the pure love, the love where two people were supporting each other despite all flaws. It was the first soul she somehow peeked through and actually got the emotions clearly conveyed.

She was also aware that Death God wasn't her biological father and that he refused to call himself as such. Luckily enough, his wife was lovely enough to be like a real mother to Xaya and also deepened the impression of a pure love.

However, she always made sure to tell Xaya about the real world and that such love is unlikely to happen. It was mostly because of Xaya's current status and the beauty she grew up to be! Not even fifty years was required for Xaya to be gorgeous.

It was too late for Xaya to think about the real world, though.

'Because Sixth Death God is a fucking tsundere.'

Xaya was convinced that she would meet her loved one that would treasure her like all the souls she saw. Of course, Xaya also saw wrong humans and the ones that possessed huge harems that were mostly used just to form connections with other families.

She just rejected those, because she was just that convinced.

Was it because the first soul was so sweet and pure? Probably so.

Years began to pass then.

In such a place, Kyoya was already aware that Xaya didn't truly feel how much time passed and just interacted with the souls in the usual, innocent way. Even if she was more than a thousand years old, she was the innocent woman who sought pure love and worked with the souls diligently while keeping all her thoughts secret to herself. The lady interacted with other disciples naturally and this was when Xaya became a 'naive woman' as she tried to learn about the outside world from others.

Xaya quickly found out that they could only bring the emotionless words and only spoke about their duties outside despite her wanting to know more than that, so she just ignored those disciples and focused on the work that was not only her job, but the thing that made her want to live.

Seven thousand years passed and Xaya couldn't take it anymore.

She barged into the Sixth Death God's room and demanded to see the outside world! She wanted to know about the world and get an experience, but Xaya's goal was to also find the love she was charmed with when she was just fifty years old.

And develop her own one!

From the small gossip around the death castle and her small interactions during the breaks, Xaya knew how to speak with her master to get her wish true. She was also seven thousand years old, but never really left the death castle for the mission to deliver the divine energies from the souls! She was a hard working adult with dreams even if seven thousand years was not a long time for gods!

So there was something wrong with her being confined in the death castle, but Xaya used this as well as her argument.

In the end, the Sixth Death God agreed and sent her to the place where she could learn about various gods, their disciples and heritages. A place that was filled with those… The heavenly palace!

Just upon the entrance, Xaya spotted the man who was different from others. She didn't know what it was, but it was just a feeling. He also seemed like a man from the dreams she had.

The fate wanted them to pair up as this man also noticed Xaya and looked at her in a daze. She was the beauty that got attention from the Goddess Of Beauty, so it wasn't that weird for this man to look at her like that.

However, Xaya was happy.

She just arrived in a unique place filled with many individuals like her and this man yet he closed up the distance like the prince charming. On the spat, this man made Xaya feel special and sweet just like she imagined.

Not only her imagination was here. Xaya was also influenced by sweet and pure dreams of the souls yet this man was so handsome and skilled that he cleared checks in all those dreams.

He guided her throughout the heavenly palace and even made Xaya acquaintanced with some people. Of course, those people were all males, but Xaya just took them as friends solely because her new friend called them 'friends'.

She was instantly ready to become closer with them just because of this reason.

"Hekrer…"

Xaya didn't know back then that Hekrer was guiding her through all influential males that were currently residing in the heavenly palace to show them that she was 'marked' by him. He was already keen on making her his and it was just a first step.

She just took them as friends and spoke with everyone innocently full of questions about their lives and how it is to live here. Xaya was really friendly back then… All because the world was open for her!

And Herker was also elated with Xaya because not only she was the disciple of the death god, but also because Goddess Of Beauty invited her in. She was one of the gods that was having fun in the heavenly palace and helped many women and men with her divine powers. Being close to this woman was as good as the connection with the gods that worked with the divine rules.

"Hekrer…"

Kyoya was in a trance already.

His Joker's laughter was also escaping his lips as he kept muttering this name. If his voice could kill, then it was exactly this moment as the hatred for 'Hekrer' was building the more he thought about him.

Not only this guy instantly 'marked' Xaya, he also lied to her and made her feel overly special. He didn't mention anything about his 'other side' of the family which was the harem and concubines.

All the women were unknown to Xaya as he made her believe she was the only one.

Ding!
