Yes mother," replied the young girl with a blank expression that looked disturbingly out of place on her childish face.
Her mother gazed upon her son with a proud smile before the expression devolved to disgust as she turned to face her daughter, "you will be his protector, his servant. That will be your task, your atonement for the past, your only purpose in life, just as all Le Fay before you. Do you understand?"
"Yes mother," repeated the girl, robotically.
"Good now get back to work, I want you to have mastered this spell by the time I get back," snarled the adult as she left the room.
Le Fay heard the door slam shut as she stood watching the boy laughing in the garden below while she was confined to her small room, for a brief moment she felt a spike of anger and jealousy appear in her mind. Why did he get that treatment yet she was locked up in a room?!
A growl of anger slowly rumbled out of her throat as she returned to her work, they wanted her to learn spells? Fine! She'd be the best magician they'd ever seen! She'd even surpass her ancestor! And if they refused to acknowledge her after that…there were other ways to use those spells, much more violent ways…
'No that's not me anymore, I promised him! He's not like the others! My brother cares about me!' she thought, gripping her head as tear rolled down her face.
'Yes he cares about you, so are you just going to do nothing? Just let him die? You really are the descendant of Morgan aren't you?' whispered a soft voice at the back of her mind.
"LE FAY OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" yelled Arthur, as she heard the banging on the door grow louder.
Le Fay just ignored him as she wiped the tears away from her eyes before stopping as her eyes widened and she quickly thought back to the Devils. Her brother had requested information on all the Devils when they'd arrived and a frown appeared on her face as she remembered one in particular. That knight of the Gremory heiress, Kiba Yuuto, a survivor of the Holy Sword Project who bore a deep hatred for Holy Swords. Especially anything related to the Arthur legends…she could us him.
All she had to do was point him at a different descendant and the two of them might even kill each other. Yes, she would protect her brother…even if she had to break that promise she'd made to him all those years ago.
"I'm the descendant of Morgan Le Fay, it's time I start acting like it," she muttered, a plan slowly coming together in her mind as she placed her childish witch's hat in the corner and slipped out an open window, leaving her fellow conspirators behind as she disappeared into the night.
By the time Arthur finally kicked down the door, there was no sign of his sister and the descendant started panicking as he rushed over to the open window, only to see darkness. "LE FAY!" yelled Arthur at the top of his lungs into the darkened night.
"Milord please, you're drawing too much attention," hushed Valper in a respectful tone.
The descendant just rounded on the disgraced bishop before grabbing his collar and lifting him up off his feet, "my sister is missing and you're worried about drawing attention!"
Valper struggled in Arthur's grip as he replied, "please Milord, calm yourself. I am sure Lady Le Fay will return here in the morning."
Arthur growled as he dropped the bishop and headed towards the exit when his eyes caught something in the corner of his vision, it was the books he gave to his sister along with her witch's hat. All of them had been thrown to the ground as if their owner had been angered by them.
Frowning Arthur walked over to them and gently picked up the discarded hat before his eyes narrowed as he saw the pages that the books had been opened on, noting the one common theme shared between them. Mordred, the Knight of Treachery.
"So…if there was another one. If there was a descendant from that time, you wouldn't care?"
"Oh no," gasped Arthur as he rushed over to the Pendragon family record and sure enough found it open on the Knight of Treachery itself.
Suddenly his sister's behavior of the past few days made a horrible amount of sense, but why didn't she tell him? Did she want to run off and join them? Heaven knows that the main family had treated her badly enough that it wasn't an impossibility.
"No she promised me…there has to be another reason," he muttered, before his eyes widened.
If the descendant of Mordred was treated the same way Le Fay had been before he had found her…then it was clear that they'd harbor no small amount of hatred for the descendant of the King of Knights. With a grim expression on his face Arthur gripped Caliburn tightly and headed towards the door, if this descendant wanted to use his sister to get to him then so be it.
"Milord where are you going?" asked Valper in concern.
"To find my sister and then Mimic, and once I do Valper, you will reforge Excalibur for me. Do you understand?" growled Arthur as Caliburn began glowing with barely restrained power,
"B-but Kokabiel said to wait for the Samhain feis before I do tha-" stuttered Valper fearfully, only to cut himself off as a glowing Caliburn was shoved against his neck.
The ex-bishop swallowed fearfully before he slowly nodded his head, "of course Milord, I shall begin my preparations."
Arthur then removed his sword from the bishop's neck, causing Valper to breathe a sigh of relief as the descendant left the room. Arthur just growled, if the descendant of Mordred was so intent on repeating the Battle of Camlann that they would stoop so low as to use his sister…then he would be happy to oblige them.
"So Irina, how does it feel to be back here after all these years?" asked Xenovia as she stowed Durandal on her back.
"It's great, I can't wait to see Iss
ei again," replied the Mimic wielder with a happy smile.
