The Cursed Bloodline
Three-Second Arc: Saving My Son

Nue, fell asleep in the entanglement of the eternal seal belonging to the Snow Goddess. No one could break the seal, unless the four key pillar stones were combined.

However, the seal could not forever firmly entrap Nue's great dark power. It has become the responsibility of the descendants of the three guardian pillars, to strengthen the seal that began to weaken.

If one of the descendants of the pillar could not fulfill its obligations, Nue's dark power could be unleashed. If that happened, Nue could rise up and re-envelop the world.

In the basement of the Red Cloud Cops, Tanuki was flipping page after page of a book. On one of the pages of the thick book is a picture of a lion-like monster with a goddess covered in the light of life. Tanuki smiled wryly, he then closed the Red Book and glanced at the two men in front of him.

"You guys just said, Yukio's pregnant with Kizuna's child? " The two masked warriors of the god of death in front of Tanuki nodded

" We have confirmed the information we have. And also, from tomorrow Princess Yukio will perform the ritual of veneration in the Snow goddess temple. The ritual will be performed for approximately 10 months, sir."

"Curtain! That cunning woman, she was trying to hide her pregnancy under the pretext of praying in the Snow Goddess temple! "

" What should we do, sir? Do we have to report this incident to the Elders of the Snow Clan? "

" No, it's not time yet. Revenge will feel so much sweeter when the time is right. "

Tanuki tapped softly on the table in front of him, he seemed to think for a moment before giving further orders to his men. A meaningful smile was engraved on his crafty face.

" You two, keep an eye on Yukio's movements, and report everything you find directly to me! " tanuki said firmly.

" Okay Sir! "

The man immediately walked out of his study. Right in a hallway of the headquarters, Tanuki meets a woman with a three-year-old child in her cradle.

" Tanuki." said the woman in a raucous voice. Tanuki just kept quiet, while glancing at the child in the woman's arms.

" What are the nights coming here, Mito? You should be at home and guarding Ten. " Tanuki said indifferently as he walked past Mito just like that.

" I heard all the conversations between you and your men! " mito's words suddenly stopped Tanuki's steps.

" I beg Tanuki, whatever your plans are with Yukio. Please stop it here. You must not hurt your friends just because of the ambition in you" Mito said in a voice.

The little Ten who was still sound asleep in Mito's arms seemed disturbed, he was almost disgusted by the loud voice of his mother.

" enough! Hate to meddle in my affairs, and go home!

I warned you, you are my wife. But for some things, you better not cross your line. I hope you do as I say, at least for the benefit of your son and yourself! "

Tanuki began to leave, he seemed to not care about his son who began to doubt the truth. As if knowing the feeling his mother felt, little Ten rebuked until his face turned red.

" You and your ambition! It has never occurred to you, that with just our presence, your life will be much more meaningful than your greed. Because of your great ambitions, you even hid the birth of your own son! "

Tanuki clenched his hands furiously. With a firm step, he turned around and began to corner his wife. A glint of anger was evident in the look in his eyes

" Hear! I did all this for the survival of my life and my son.

No matter how much I try, the world will never change. Without power and without power, people like me are never considered by the world.

I will prove that a man like me can hold the world in my hands easily. The world that I dream of, will also be the world of our son!

Take my word, you better keep your mouth shut. And assume what you heard tonight you never knew! Understand, Wife? "

Tanuki threatened Mito with great emphasis. Inevitably, Mito could only nod. Her body shook intensely, honestly only this time did she see the dark side of her husband.

" good. My bodyguards will take you and Ten home and get some rest" Tanuki said softly.

He then glanced at Ten who was still rebuking, Tanuki gently rubbed the top of Ten's head. Despite being a man with a psyco character, Tanuki seems to understand how to calm his own son.

......................

The seasons have changed, now a beautiful snowfall and covers almost the entire surface of the earth. New shoots seem to fall asleep in the cold ice, waiting for the time when the seasons change again. Spring, a new beginning when new life begins to bloom and radiate its beauty. The shoots are just waiting for the right time.

At the Snow Goddess Temple, a beautiful temple set amid the vastness of the valley dubbed the Valley of Life, a stretch of white blankets began to freeze whatever was passed .

A woman with a thick kimono, looks to decorate the temple with candles in the form of beautiful lotus flowers. Her long blonde hair was swept away by the gentle breeze, while eyes as beautiful as lavender flowers seemed to sparkle when looking at the glittering candlelight.

Yukio began to include his hands, a prayer he addressed to the creator for the health of the future baby in his stomach.

Yukio's gestational age has stepped on 8 months, soon he will meet his little angel. The smile never disappeared from her pretty face, even though Kizuna could not be by her side. At least, Yoshiro always accompanied him.

" butterfly? The butterfly symbolizes life and healing. Yukio, the child in your womb must have an ordinary powerful destiny! " said Yoshiro enthusiastically.

" I hope so too. It's just, I'm a little worried. What if the child in my womb is born a woman "

Yukio did not mean to hate her child if she was born a woman. Merely, the snow Clan's bloodline would continue to flow if the child within his womb was a girl.

A hereditary law, within the bloodline of the Snow Clan, only women would inherit the healing abilities that the Snow Goddess passed down.

And for Yukio, she was the heir to the pure Snow Pillar blood, if the child who was born would be a woman, then the destiny that Yukio had would also be inherited to the princess. Fate as the guardian of the Nue seal, as well as inheriting the healing power of the Snow Clan.

"Are you worried that his life will be exactly the same as yours? Trapped in a chain of cursed destinies, your life must be sacrificed to keep Nue asleep. "

" You're right. If the elders know I gave birth to a daughter, maybe my son will survive. Because he will inherit the power of the Snow Clan.

But I don't want my son to live like me. I never felt as happy as Yukio from the Snow Clan! "

Yukio stroked her stomach slowly which started to grow. He recalled his dark childhood. As the blood heir of the Snow Clan, he almost never had his life fully. The Restraint of the Clan. A great responsibility, all of it haunted Yukio for almost his entire life

However, when he meets Kizuna, for the first time Yukio feels something different. The love and love that Kizuna gave her was so sincere. That feeling made Yukio feel like she had a chance at life for the second time. To that end, Yukio chose to raise her son outside the influence of the Clan, and wanted her son to live as an ordinary person without any restraints.

"I just want my son to have a bright future. Live happily and do whatever he likes. That's all, my hope as his mother. "

In the middle of the scramble between Yukio and Yoshiro, a leg beat is heard running down the temple hallway. The temple doors are wide open. Put on the silhouette of a white-haired man with a hunting breath. The snow outside seemed to fall heavily, making Aoryu's breath form a wisp of steam fog so cold.

"What are you doing here, Aoryu? " ask Yukio with a look of confusion.

Aoryu rearranged her breathing, trying to say what it meant to come to the temple in the middle of a snowy night

" It's terrible! The Elders along with the Snow Clan warriors seem to have learned the news of your pregnancy, Yukio! "

" What do you mean, isn't it just you and me who know the truth! " joshiro said in disbelief

" Someone out there must have known this secret and reported it to the Snow Clan elders. Right now they might have started moving and headed over here. We have to run! "

" Come Yukio! We have to get out of here. Your baby we must save! " Yoshiro starts pulling Yukio's arm, but Yukio doesn't budge.

" Yukio, why are you- "

Yukio was silent for a moment. He looked to tighten both his hands - nervous. Both of his eyes seemed to tremble violently.

" A-I, can't get out of here" said Yukio ririh.

" why? If you stay here, the baby in your body will be killed by the Elders, even when you haven't met him! " yoshiro panicked.

Yoshiro understood what consequences his best friend would receive if caught. Yukio said if she gave birth to a daughter it was likely that her daughter would survive.

But if a son, who even his own father came from an ordinary folk, the two of them would be killed just like that. But the problem at this time is that Yukio has not given birth. So it can be pasticam, the child in the womb Yukio will be forcibly aborted (killed). Because to the Snow Clan, children born aside from their Clan's men, were considered as the Snow goddess' pure blood polluters.

In addition, the baby's biological father (Kizuna) is also threatened with death penalty.

"Yukio! "

" We, we can't just run away. If I run away now, who will confirm Nue's seal.

All this time, you and Yoshiro have been trying to slow down the damage. But in reality, the seal could not last much longer. "

Yukio understood, he could have run away by now. But what about the Nue seal that is getting weaker and weaker? It was his responsibility, despite wanting Yukio to not be able to run away just like that.

" So, what should we do?! "

Aoryu looked frustrated, he did not want Yukio to end up in the hands of the Snow Clan Elder. Yukio might still be able to survive after this mess. But what about the fate of Kizuna and also the child in Yukio's womb. The colossal elders must have directly ordered people to kill Kizuna and her baby.

"There is only one way - " said Yukio steadily, now his gaze was fixed towards Yoshiro and Aoryu

" I have to save my son, no matter what. Although that means, I have to give birth to this baby this very second! "
