"Actually that is how I came to be, John killed the king without a proper challenge, it was literally the lack of honor that the soul rejected John and drew me back to the lands of the living flesh and bone.
The soul of the celestial that is gifted to lords have fail safes just incase one were to try to take power with Ill intentions.
As when a king takes my place they kill me and take the place as a lord of corpse, if a rapturian were to try anything funny like challenge me and send all that they have in their arsenal the soul that will transfer to the last living might reject then for they are not a true warrior, and the newfound soul might be forced to experience beasthood." He nods
"Mutations can occur the soul can resurrect a lord in order to satisfy the place, and it can even flood the mind and erase memories."
"Hmmm... Interesting failsafe. So if your victory is a dishonorable one, you basically don't get to be king and are instead cursed to become a hideous monster? I mean, intriguing, but what if they somehow find a way to bypass that failsafe? You can't be too careful with those Rapture fellows, they'll throw Jupiter at a house spider if they could." Sabato said. "It's not like I have a problem with it, it's just that they always go for the overkill too quickly."
As the king consumed the purple pepper, it would taste like an extremely delicious large black grape that someone emptied a whole can of military pepper spray on and microwaved for 5 seconds. "Wow... you handled that better than I thought. Usually, a human being would have their mouth and whole digestive system coated in 4th degree burns. I'm beginning to like you, though I'm not exactly sure the feeling is mutual."
As soon as the spices hit a silence fell upon the conversation for a moment, he then punched his gut and laughed "That was good, vary strong, when I was younger I couldn't handle hot stuff. I think it was significant other that fed me somthing that had a death pepper in it. Toughens you up, real strong." He nods
"But mutation is the first step, worse comes to worse it'll just rip itself out of you. That's how I'm here, the only reason John survived is because he has his immortality.
There has been dishonorable rules that have gotten off Scott free. Strauss led a small brigade to kill Low, and he was fine. Because while he may have fought dirty he had good intentions for the nation. "
He then laughed at Sabato's joke.
"Yes, Rapture and Lowblood use to be vary good allies. Following Oni's fall to beasthood and a new king Rapture just flipped the table and declared war one day, killed the king the next. Soon enough I witnessed just how unfit they were to rule the lands so I decided to spice things up. After all Lowblood isn't a peaceful land, the fact that they got as far as they did was a surprise."
