Kingsman Return

Kingsman Bloodline

"The Aeth have a myriad of different lineages and bloodlines. It is with these bloodlines and our inheritance of over ten thousand years that our race has been able to rule over this high realm with almost no rivals in the universe." Councilman Homer said, not giving Arran any more time to consider his questions.

Looking at the councilman, Arran knew that his doubts were about to be cleared. And sure enough, what the councilman said next, did just that.

"In regards to your case, there is a special bloodline that belongs exclusively to our Aeth race. It is the most special bloodline in our race, and even in the entire universe, there are very few that can rival its might. It is called the Kingsman bloodline and it is called such because for our race it is also known as the state protector bloodline. Anyone who possesses the Kingsman bloodline will grow to possess the power so great that they would be able to rule over a vast region of space by themselves alone."

As Arran heard this, even he had to admit that he was very impressed by the abilities of Aeth Kingsman's bloodline.

Although Arran did not understand the concept of bloodlines fully and with regards to his knowledge of the power systems of the wider universe being very shallow, Arran could just barely imagine how much power someone with a bloodline like that would have from the description alone.

As if knowing what Arran was thinking, the councilman said to him while pointing at commander Margo, "Commander Margo, who is by your side is a person in possession of the Kingsman bloodline.

Hearing this, Arran turned to Margo in surprise.

He remembered the first time he saw her and the impression she gave him at the time. That feeling of power she gave off as she stood there suspended in the air with her fiery aura, like any casual move of hers would destroy the planet she was in. Remembering that feeling again, Arran was filled with awe before he registered a terrifying possibility.

The most eye-catching thing that stood out about Commander Margo was not the sense of power she gave off or her fiery aura, it was the glittering divine wings that grew out of her back, and remembering the wings that also grew out of his back at the time…!!

Turning sharply to face the councilman, Arran had a look of realization.

Seeing this, Councilman Homer nodded and said, "it seems you have realized why you are so valuable to us now."

Arran was so confused. He could not wrap his head around the fact that he seemingly had the Kingsman bloodline that the Aeth say was very powerful.

For the first time since Arran entered the room, he voiced his doubts.

"How is possible for me to possess this bloodline that you are talking about? Is it possible that your artifact did something to me?"

Another holographic figure of a woman to the left of Councilman Homer shook her head and said in a very haughty manner, "It's not possible. The Kingsman bloodline is hereditary. As powerful as the artifact is, not even it is enough to grant someone the Kingsman bloodline."

Arran was not entirely convinced and asked again, "Then is it possible that you have made a mistake. I'm human and so I cannot have the bloodline of your race."

That same woman answered Arran again in the same haughty tone.

"Humph, watch your mouth child, we cannot make a mistake concerning this, and who says that you are human. You are obviously a pure-blooded Aeth."

Once Arran heard that he felt like his world was about to collapse. He did not want to believe them because if what they are saying was true, then it would mean that all his life he had been living a lie.

Thinking of his parents, he had a very terrifying thought and hurriedly asked to confirm.

"My parents, what about my parents? What role do they play in all this?"

Councilman Homer and his fellow councilmen did not answer immediately. They were looking at each other and discussing amongst themselves. Every other person in the room was in a state of shock.

The room was buzzing with soundless mutterings.

Usually, for those who were qualified to seat in this room, each was a person of great influence and they would have at least have been briefed about the situation before coming here. But even for them, they did not know about Arran possessing the Kingsman bloodline prior to their coming here.

Even the fact that he was a pure-blooded Aeth was surprising to them.

Arran frowned when the councilmen did not immediately answer his question and it made him feel like they would not be entirely honest with him.

The councilmen did not take long to discuss amongst themselves.

Soon they were done and Councilman Homer cleared his throat to get the attention of everyone, before he said, "we are sorry but because of classified reasons, we cannot disclose certain things in this assembly. But what you can be assured about is that your parents are 100% Aeth and that we have our speculations about their identity. At the very least we can be able to confirm the lineage from whom you inherited your bloodline."

Arran was very skeptical about the whole business with his parents and was very agitated. He did not want to leave it at that but he was very clear that he was in a passive position here and that he had no way of demanding answers to his questions. For a minute he was considering demanding those answers, but immediately, he thought back to the letter he got on the day all this started.

The letter that his parents left for him at the time seemed commonplace considering that they had been missing for some time.

But if he considered his current situation, then the words in the letter made perfect sense.

Immediately, Arran calmed down. His thoughts cleared and he remembered that time in the outpost when he told Rommel that he trusted and had faith in his parents. He decided this time to also trust his parents.

All these thoughts flashed through Arran's mind in a matter of seconds and by the time he came back to himself, Councilman Homer was already saying. "aside from that, now that you know the reason why we are keeping you with us, it is now time to tell you what we have decided to do with you.

Arran paid more attention here. This was what he was currently most concerned with.

"Because you possess the Kingsman bloodline, we have decided to send you to the Kingsman royal academy where you will receive the best training. All your expenses and the resources you will need from this point onwards will be fully funded by the Aeth race and you will subject to all our laws."

"Do you understand?"

Arran nodded, relieved.

It was better than he expected. at least he would not have to worry about his living conditions.

Councilman Homer nodded and continued, "Commander Margo here will be your handler and personal and will take care of anything you will need. We expect that when you are called to offer up your strength for our race you would have grown powerful enough to be of any use, for your sake and also the sake of the Aeth race."

Saying so he addressed the whole room. "this assemble is dismissed."

Then he and the other councilmen's holograms disappeared.
