"WHAT!" was all that was heard followed by the multiple sounds of explosions coming from the headmaster's office. Smoke was coming from the tower as everyone in the area knew what it meant, Louise was mad and Saito was the subject of her wrath once more. This however, was not the complete truth because as the smoke subsided, Saito was behind a barrier which was raised by the headmaster and the only one effected by it was Louise herself.
"Louise, calm yourself, you should be overjoyed that this woman saved Saito hear in his time of need." Henrietta said being the point of reason in the room. "Saito, what is her name since you did not say it yet?"
"Tiffania Westwood."
"Do you remember the route you took to get here from their?"
"Yes…" Saito responded hesitant to tell the Queen, although he liked her a lot, he was still worried about his new friend.
"You need not worry, I would wish to personal thank her for saving not only one of my chevaliers but also my friend. Agnes."
"Yes your majesty?"
"I would like for you to accompany Saito along his journey to find this person and bring her back to the capital where I will be." Henrietta turned her head and faced Saito. "It is not that I don't think you can make the trip on your own Saito, I just don't want you to either get lost or succumb to your previous injuries." She said seeing the pain in Saito's eyes. Saito chuckled at the response grateful to have the ruling monarch worried about his health.
"I appreciate the help your majesty, but this is something I would like to do alone, I hope you would understand." Saito said knowing why he wanted to go solo on this, he purposely did not tell her race or she… tracks of land as we will put it for now.
"If you really want to go alone to retrieve this person, then I will not-"
"Wait!" Louise exclaimed getting everyone's attention. "Since when does the familiar get to make the calls around here, it is the master's job to make them, not the other way around. So why should we let this dog go wherever he wants?" Henrietta was about to say something but Saito stood up from his chair and face his master.
"Can you not see I have a reason for doing this alone!?" Saito shouted but accidentally let out the reason. He mentally kicked himself in the ass for saying getting everyone's attention in the room.
"Saito, is there something you are not telling us?" The headmaster asked as Saito quickly began to think of anyway to get out of this mess.
"I'm sorry everyone, I just can't say. When I bring her to the capital, you will see for yourself. Please, don't make me go into detail about it." Saito asked as a smile formed on the Queen's face.
"If Saito doesn't want to tell us right now, I think we can wait until we see this person for ourselves, do you have any objections you two?" Henrietta asked as the headmaster shock is head but Louise wanted to press her claim once more but withheld her voice. "In that case, it is settled. Saito, you will go and bring this woman to the capital so we can meet her and thank her for everything. And if she wants to, we can make her a citizen of this country is she wants." The last part caught Saito's attention thinking that he wouldn't have to worry about her safety with her being in the same country as him. "Agnes, prepare a horse at one."
"That will not be necessary, Saito, I he a little surprise for you in the back of the academy." The headmaster said getting Saito interested in this surprise. He got up and left the room leaving everyone alone. "Miss Valliere, you need to understand that he does not remember you or anything to do with you, keep that in mind with your future actions."
"Why headmaster?"
"He shows signs of not being completely loyal to you unlike the last time we saw him, it seems like there might be something else on his mind. To him, the Gandalfr runes on his hand are the only thing keeping him with you but by the looks of things, it is definitely losing its meaning to him."
"Are you saying that he is slowly going to leave Louise if this continues?" Henrietta asked seeing the look on her best friends face.
"At this rate, yes. You must control your emotions or he will leave you and never return." Louise's face was one filled with mix emotions. Henrietta, however she felt about her best friend was in the back of her mind thinking about what if Saito became hers. For the time being though, she would help her Louise in controlling her emotions while she was here. Meanwhile with Saito, he was outside and walking past the walls and saw what many could consider his child.
"The Zero!" Saito exclaimed running to the plane he lost before the events of the giant battle he fought. "But… I thought I was broken… Ah, who cares, let's see if it still works!" Saito said climbing into the cockpit and placing Derflinger in the backseat. "Let's see…" He put his left hand on the stick and suddenly the knowledge of the past times he used the plane hit him and he began to press the necessary buttons to start the plane. In seconds, they were ready for take off but something caught his attention. Saito turned his head to the left and saw Siesta running towards the plane out of breath with a box.
"WAIT!" She shouted out of breath as Saito stopped the plane.
"WHATS UP SIESTA?" Saito shouted so she could her him do to the blades going. She held out the box as he took it.
"I WAS WORRIED YOU WOULDN"T HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT WHILE YOU WERE GONE SO I MADE YOU SOMETHING FOR THE TRIP." She said as he opened it and saw it was full of full ranging from bread to cookies. Saito smiled and handed her one which she accepted it as he got one as well and eat it with her.
"IT'S GREAT,THANKS A LOT, SEE YOU LATER SIESTA!" Saito said as he entered the final phase and closed the window. He gave her a last wave and the plane began to move until it gained enough momentum to get into the air. "Seems everything is working Derf."
"Yup, hey partner, I have I question."
"Shot."
"Have you ever noticed the smaller the chest size, the bigger the broom is shoved up a woman's ass is?"
"What do you mean, Tabitha isn't like that."
"You know what I mean partner, Siesta willingly made you food when she could have just said bye and left it at that."
"True, hey, can you at least help me next time when Louise is going crazy, I felt like I was going to lose my head." Saito said as Derf broke out laughing.
"Partner, you have a lot to learn in a short amount of time."
Flying over the land of Albion was something of nerve racking for the Gandalfr for many reasons, the first and most obvious is that a freaking airplane was flying in territory that is somewhat unknown to Saito. The second is that he needed to find the forest Tiffania was in and the fact he had limited time with his fuel being almost nonexistent in the world. After a half an hour, he saw the same forest he was found in and landed the plane in some grassland not too far from the forest and covered it up while grabbing Derf and proceeded to find his friend. Ten or so minutes passed and still no sign of her or that she was her at all.
"Hey Derf, think you can help by finding that Void energy she has?"
"Sure, give me a second…" Saito waited as he looked as his surroundings and the beauty from it was amazing.
"Head north-east and you should find her." Derf said as Saito made a beeline in that direction and sure enough he saw the cottage that Tiffania called home. Reaching the door, he knocked on it but nothing happened. He knocked again but no response. He opened the door and saw Tiffania was in bed alone and she was sweat bullets. Running over to her side, he saw she was turning somewhat pale.
"What's wrong with her Derf."
"She seems to have a very bad cold, grab two different cloths, one with cold water and place it on her forehead." Derf instructed Saito as he ran to what appeared to be a sink and pour water onto one of the cloths in the open. He grabbed a second one and walked back to her side and places the cold cloth on her forehead. With the second one, he began to remove the sweat from her head and with every bit of willpower his body, wiped it off of her body and placed a blanket on top of her to keep her warm.
"The roles have been reverse partner." Derf said as Saito ignored him and continue to help Tiffa get better.
"it's almost nighttime, as long as the cover doesn't get removed the plane should be fine." Saito said as he took a seat on the nearby couch and drifted into sleep with hope that what little he could do helped her get better.
Author's Notes – oh Wiki's, you are so helpful when I need to know specific crap like countries and other stuff... This story is lacking explosions... I need to add more in the future.
