Crocea Mors (Jaune's sword) being the Destruction Relic - Unlikely. The four Huntsman academies were given the responsibility of hiding and protecting the four Relics. Why would they, instead, let the Arc family hold on to the Destruction Relic? I don't think they would.

Plus, the sword the king wielded was more so Vacuo's color scheme, rather than just yellow, so it's possible the sword the king used has more connection with Vacuo than it does with the Arc family.
