"Lancer. Go out and acquire more magical energy. Take care not to be seen," Hector ordered.

"Of course, Master." The Lancer-class Servant - Malice was her name - disappeared.

With that done, he considered the Grail War as it was so far. All of the Servants had been summoned to their Masters, and there seemed to be nothing strange in the summoning. Ein had called to report that calling his Archer-class had gone smoothly.

Ein. A tool that believed Hector was doing his best to make sure that no one else was hurt in the war. He had no idea that not only did Hector have a Servant of his own, but he intended to win by any means necessary. Ein was useful, but disposable. In the worst case scenario, he could be counted upon to defend him from another Master.

Like the one with a vendetta against him, Nessiah. When last they parted, Hector was by far the more powerful of the pair. He was curious to see whether that had changed, but not so curious as to risk his life for it.

Hector sipped his coffee from the "World's Best Boss" mug Lancer had found for him while draining a shopkeeper of mana. There were many benefits that came with having a loyal Servant, and he intended to make strategic use of every one.
