Chapter 237: Spin-Off Vol.2 'Clarent Star ': Calibur's Belongings Part 1

( Many years ago. )

[ Calibur House's Secret Meeting Room ]

" What did you say, Aunt!? " Arthur asks his aunt, who happens to still had close relations to him, despite already married someone outside the Royal Houses.

" Yes, my nephew Arthur... "

" The Commoner Hunter woman, whom said were impregnated by you... "

" Is actually from the Clarent House, one of the Knight King's 'False Bloodline'. " the aunt reveals to him.

" What? " Arthur is still on disbelief, for he had been sometime with the mentioned woman, already crosschecking her identity many times during the trials for his crime impregnating her, thus why he won from all charges.

" How did you know this...? " despite all of his confusion, his Aunt, backed up with the other Elders from the Calibur House that were still alive at that time, told him about their little, investigation.

" Haha, hahahaha... " Arthur can't believed what was told upon him.

" Believe it, Arthur, our investigation concluded after so many attempts, we all had the evidence if you want it. "

" That woman, whom you discarded... "

" Is now going to give birth to your child, and not just any child. "

" Since both of you are from the same Bloodline, then the child will definitely be the one who possessed the 'Purest Blood' of all King Arthur's Bloodline. " said the Aunt to Arthur, who sweats over this revelation.

" My child, the 'Purest Bloodline' of the King himself...? " Arthur chuckles as he was in disbelief.

His emotions was swung so hard after waves of revelation, he feels either angry, fury, confused, sad, pissed, and now...

Joy...

" So Arthur, as the House Head... "

" What would you like to do, about it? " the Aunt asks him, while Arthur chuckles and laughs so hard after hearing all of this.

" To think you would help me like this, even after marrying that 'Commoner Millionaire', aunt... " Arthur says to his Aunt.

" How's your daughter, Carol...? "

" My little cousin is not alone at home while you're here, right? " Arthur asks to his Aunt about this, wondering what made her helping him despite losing the 'Calibur' name to her husband, he who came from a family called 'Bright'.

" It is simply because of our relation, Arthur... "

" The reason why I helped you is for you to maintain the House after I left. " the Aunt tells him.

" Yes, despite you could've have it instead of me... "

" But despite your talents, the one holding you back is your gender, so... "

" Kukuku... " Arthur chuckles as he thinks for himself, remembering his decision to abandoning the 'Clarent' woman in the first place.

" I must look for her. " Arthur says in front of the Elders.

" If she really giving birth to my 'child', my 'son'... " Arthur believes it for he recounts that the Caliburs are usually given with a son as their first-borns, first-born daughters from the real pure Caliburs are rare, so that wouldn't likely to happen.

" Then, I should reclaim him from her, he who possessed the Purest Blood of our great ancestor, the son of both the 'Rightful' and the 'False'... "

" With him, perhaps it is time for us, the Caliburs to elevate ourselves, not only from the other Houses, but also that of the 'Avalon House', the Kingdom's house. " Arthur says it out loud, while the Elders looked at each other, wondering if the House Head is not the right mind now.

* Elders murmuring. *

" What is he talking about, elevating ourselves above the Avalon? "

" Well, Arthur had been annoyed over the Avalon for being the Ruler of Elysium Haven in the first place, not us, who wield the Excalibur... "

" So you mean he wanted the 'Accident Child' to be his political weapon, then should we- "

" SILENCE! " Arthur silenced them, he stands up from his seat.

" Now, my honorable elders... "

" As you told me about this news, we had no choice but to act. "

" Now, as the House Head, I order you... "

" To help me get this child, now. " Arthur orders them as the discussion between them ends.

...

( Present time. )

" *Pant* *Pant* " Mrs. Clarent is wounded badly, the Clarent Sword is obliterated by Arthur Calibur's power.

" So ends the 'Sword of Treachery'... " Arthur scoffs, as the very object that inspired the Clarent House has been obliterated by his power.

Mrs. Clarent pants, seeing her House's Legendary Symbol destroyed by her husband's might.

" So that's Excalibur...? " Mrs. Clarent pants hard as blood spills from her like a fountain.

" You've done well, using a Barrier in the 'Split Second'. " Arthur praises her, despite being disgusted by the woman himself.

" Speaking of 'Split Second', isn't that the name of your magic...? " Arthur asks.

" The magic you publicly use, during your days as a 'Hunter'...? "

" So you remember... *Pant*... "

" I was an S-Rank, you know? " Mrs. Clarent asks him, if he remembered at the time.

" Isn't that why you 'want' me, in the first place? "

" Wanting me to appease yourself and throw me away when you're done...? "

" Now, it seems you're regretting to ever dispose of me, to ever won that court, you- "

" What I regret from being with you is not immediately knowing who you are and take that kid out from you as soon as possible! " Arthur quickly interrupts as his voice rises.

" I can't let my son be with the likes of you... "

" He belongs to the Calibur! " he tells Mrs. Clarent while striking her with his Star Magic.

" Tch! " Mrs. Clarent exert her strength to create more barriers.

While holding the attack, Mrs. Clarent deeply cries within her heart, she suddenly remembers her time as a Hunter, the time where she was free while hiding her true self.

She meets many wonderful compatriots, rising to the top Ranks of it, Raiding with the likes of Duncan Grimshaw and the others. But, those happy times are over, as she was proposed by Arthur who seemed to like her for her 'Talents', for her magic known to be unique amongst the Hunters or even those within the Elysium Haven.

Arthur even once promised to lift the barrier of his House, promising to let a commoner like her could enter as his bride. Mrs. Clarent is still fearful for this, but Arthur gradually assures over time, thus, making her felt okay to accept it.

But then, Arthur broke his promise, even persecuting her, making the case into the Country's Capital Court, destroying her life and even her career as a Hunter, even her face in the public.

Even worse...

" Akh! " Mrs. Clarent felt so much pain at the time in her belly, she vomits.

At that time, she immediately checked her condition to the nearby Hospital using a disguise, checking her whole condition where a revelation was brought to her.

She was pregnant.

Immediately, that destroys even more, now bearing the child of the man who betrayed her, the man who comes from the House of her Family's enemies, making her confused on what to do as she kept this secret, crying alone in her hiding place from the public, waiting months and months before she could deliver.

( After her deliverance. )

* Baby cries... *

" *Pant* *Pant*... " This child... " Mrs. Clarent cries as she sees the result at that very time, crying so hard, for the result is even worse.

Instead of a son, she instead had a daughter.

* Mrs. Clarent cries out loud for her fate. *
