Chapter 12 - regret

Pakura, who was standing in the garden, looks at Andrew with curiosity as he stood next to her. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, I just have questions." Andrew said, not making any sort of eye contact with her.

"Okay, tell me. I'll answer honestly."

"It's about Sasuko... why does Roxas and Silver hate her so much?"

Pakura sighs deeply, "They hate her because Sasuko is extremely rare. Her kind has never existed before."

"Rare in what sense?"

"Sasuko is a crossbreed. Half Akuma and Tenshi. Not only that, she is a proxy. Sasuko also has the power of a grim reaper. No Royal crossbreed of any sort have ever survived having such power. This just means, Sasuko is the first Royal to obtain all powers known in the entire world. She, if she wants, can easily become a God. Not only that, her blood is related to all the top bloodlines: A hint of Vasiliev, Mia, Akihiko, and Ackerman. "

"So... I'm guessing Roxas and Silver are after her grim reaper power?"

"Yes, because of her power Sasuko can make a higher grade Heartless."

"Heartless??"

"Heartless are creatures made out of darkness. They technically live without a soul. But Grim Heartless are stronger than normal Heartless."

"I see. So, does that mean Axel and Sakura are also rare?"

"We cannot say such thing because their Akumas and Tenshis haven't been anointed to them. Once they are, we can find out. But only Sasuko would be able to confirm it."

"Hm.... That just means I have to take extra care of them.. Is there anyone else like Sasuko??"

"Yes. Her name is Sara Mia. She isn't a Royal, but is a crossbreed which grim reaper powers."

"Can they be after her too?"

"I don't doubt it."

"Alright..."

"What else would you like to know?"

"Her health. Why is it so bad?"

"When she was born, the law of getting rid of a crossbreed was already dismissed. But not everyone listened. Unfortunately, the doctor who attended me went against such dismissal. No matter how much Creed, your parents, and I tried to stop him and the nurses who were helping him, Sasuko was still injected many different chemicals every time she had an appointment for vaccines. Surprisingly, it never became fatal for her."

"I see... there is a way to heal her right?"

"Of course. But the only one who knows how would be you."

"No wonder.."

"Don't worry, she is fine and will be fine until you are ready to heal her. Just make sure there is someone there with you as in backup. I recommend my brother, Gaara."

Andrew nodes small, "Okay."

"You know, I really do regret leaving Sasuko, Atsushi, and Ash with Roxas and Silver. Back then, they were very nice with us. So much, anyone would easily trust them. I never thought they'd try to harm my kids.. What's even worse is that they were their foster parents when Creed, Jewel, and I vanished.."

"Then... why didn't you look for them?"

"I would have, but Sasuko and her siblings were still very young. Not only that, Creed, Jewel, and I were not allowed within the clan."

"Oh..."

"If your parents were to be around... I would have had them to be their foster parents."

"I bet they would have loved that."

"Yeah.. Anyways, if that is all you wanted to know you might as well attend your wife."

"Heh, yeah."

Just then, a maid comes towards them. "Your majesty, we just received an invitation."

Pakura and Andrew turns their attentions towards thw maid. "From who?"

"Silver and Roxas."

"What do they want??" Andrew asked irritatedly.

"They are inviting you all to a gathering that is going to take place in Russian within two weeks. It's a royalty gathering." The maid answered.

"Hm... alright. We'll be going." Pakura said.

"Are you sure?" Andrew asked.

"Oh don't worry, everything will be okay. This is going to be interesting."
