[ Clarent's Mansion ]
" Ah, the Stars had fall their judgnt upon you... " says a voice, he who cos out during the dark, during the burning last remnants of the Clarent House.
" So much for taking part of the King's Bloodline. " said the man, he sighs, sarcastically mocking the Clarent House.
" Master Tenebrae... " Inspector Richard Trazer calls him, as he followed him from the start.
" Sad, isn't it? " Tenebrae asks to Richard, while both of them are looking at the whole destruction.
" Of course it is, Master... " Richard tells him.
" Shouldn't you be the one saddened from the most...? " Richard asks, recounting the Relation between the Nyx Nocterra House and the Clarent House.
" Right..., perhaps I should... "
" But sadly, per our ancestors' creed, the Clarent House must end... " Tenebrae walks, seeing Mrs. Clarent's corpse, left behind by Arthur Calibur.
" The Head of House Calibur left her like this, Master Tenebrae. " Richard tells.
" Hmph, already expected that... " Tenebrae yawns as he hears it.
" Being a Lion, Arthur sure love to devour everything that stands in his way. "
" Just because he had the 'Excalibur' in his hands... " Tenebrae tells.
" The legendary symbolic weapon of the Knight King, yes? " Richard asks.
" And the very reason for the Caliburs' bondage... " Tenebrae responds.
" Back at the ti, the Three Main Houses, the Avalon, Calibur, and my Nyx Nocterra. "
" Arranged a eting with the other Houses who wants to govern Trinia. "
" Proposing to the three of us that one House should be the Ruler House, the King of all Royals. "
" And guess which House was chosen? " Tenebrae asks which made Richard sighs.
" The Avalon... "
" We already know this, they still ruled over us after all... "
" Indeed. "
" But do you knew the reason why? " Tenebrae asks Richard again which Richard shakes his head, making Tenebrae had to explain it.
" Fine, I'll give you the answer... "
" Because, the other Houses feared both the Calibur House and the Nyx Nocterra House. "
" Well, since my House are already known for the 'practices'..., but the Caliburs are feared differently. "
" The reason? For during the 'War of King's Bloodline', the Calibur once not only massacred the Houses of the 'False Bloodline', but also the other Royal Houses who supported them at the ti. "
" Thus, those Houses had a hard ti with them during the Ruler's Selection, deciding to give all power to the Avalon House for they were known to be more trustful towards them. " Tenebrae explains as he crouches, to see Mrs. Clarent's corpse up close, closing her eyes.
" You give us a lot of problem, Clarents... " Tenebrae sighs.
" You were once a great enemy for us, and now, you are in the dirt, buried within the very ashes of your glory. "
" How unfortunate... " Tenebrae sighs.
" Rest deeply, O False Descendant... "
" This is the end, of the long war... "
" The Bloodline of Mordred lost, in the end, you all ended like that of your Great Ancestor..., even worse... " Tenebrae says this as rise up again.
" Goodness gracious... "
" Now, our 'Common Enemy' in the past is gone. " Tenebrae reflects it.
" Guess begins our infighting, our schism. "
" A repeatable cycle of history, found in every of its corners, hahaha. "
" Funny, isn't it. "
" As if this was destined, as if... "
" You all chose for this. " said a voice, suddenly ca towards them.
" Ah, Black rchant, you ca. " Tenebrae greets him, as the rchant approaches Mrs. Clarent's corpse.
" Hello there, 'Antares'... " Black rchant greets her, then summoned fire from his palm, cremating her imdiately with it.
" She was once my fellow Custors... "
" I rember when Duncan introduced her to , along with so others from the S-Ranks... " Black rchant says as he sighs.
" This should've not happened... "
" If you all would've just had peace in your mind, choosing it as the way to resolve things, then this wouldn't happened. " Black rchant says as he then turn his head back to look at Tenebrae.
" But you wouldn't choose it as a solution, would ya? " Black rchant asks Tenebrae.
Tenebrae only responds with silence as the Black rchant imdiately leaves the place.
" Leaving so soon? " Tenebrae asks.
" You should all leave... "
" Everything has transpired now, we should not regret it... "
" Besides, instead of this, we should rather focus on the path forward... "
" To choose whatever path we should take. " Black rchant tells as he has no right to talk things after it happened despite his feelings.
" Choose wisely, eh...? " Tenebrae responds sarcastically as the rchant leaves him.
" I hope you did so in the future... "
" By the way, the Child from the Clarent House is with the Caliburs... "
" Taken by his father, for whatever purpose he had in mind... " Black rchant leaves and disappears.
" Damn, he just disappears like you, Master... " Richard says as he sees it, finally talk after hours in the background.
" Indeed. " Tenebrae says after Black rchant left the place.
" But, aside from that... " Tenebrae sighs as he look up in the skies of night.
" Now that Arthur Calibur had his son, he will soon make his move... "
" Guess I must prepare for it too... " Tenebrae sighs, realizing things had been gone like everything he predicted before.
" Prepare for the schism, huh? " Richard asks Tenebrae which made him silent for a mont.
" O, I believe it will not be that simple... "
" I believe the path forward... "
" Will be a little more..., chaotic... " Tenebrae says this while smirking.
" How's the deal with the Elves...? " Tenebrae asks Richard as he explained to him about the things he was ordered to.
" Good. "
" The Elf Emperor seems to want more audiences with , Richard. "
" I will take the talking from now on. "
" You and Frank, shall investigate many things within the very Dungeons. "
" After all, since the 'Warbled Guild' is lost to us, then we had no pawns left in the Hunter Association to muster. " Tenebrae orders.
" As you wish, Master... " Richard responds to the order.
" And what of your remaining siblings, I heard they will attend the [Prodigal Academy]... "
" Should we kill them for you, or- "
" I don't care about them, they are no threat to , alive or even dead. "
" I see then, I understand. "
" But master... "
" Should we..., leave this place...? " Richard asks.
" We should. " Tenebrae leaves as she sighs.
" As the Clarent House ends, so the night too... "
Tenebrae says while witnessing the coming dawn, leaving imdiately before light ca.
