Hirem here first of I do not Own familiar of Zero this is a Fanfiction with some element from video games and anime as shout outs. Second, Saito is smarter and much more hyperaware so I decided to try the snarky loveable pervert. Third, This will be the last update until summer so unless I decide other expect the next chapter to be during summer. the lemon is small.

BEGIN!

Princess Henrietta, who had just appeared in Louise's room, looked like she had been overcome with emotion, and hugged the kneeling girl.

"Oh, Louise, Louise, my dear Louise!"

"This won't do, Your Highness. Coming to a humble place like this." Louise said ceremoniously.

"Oh! Louise! Louise Françoise! Please stop acting so formally! You and I are friends! We are friends, are we not?"

"I am not worthy of such kind words. Your Highness."

Louise replied with a steely, strained voice. Saito, stupefied, just stared as the pair of beautiful girls embraced. A part of him was enjoying this soap opera, while another just observed.

"Stop that, please!" Henrietta implored. "Neither the Cardinal, my Mother, or those greedy court aristocrats who buzz around wearing friendly faces are here! Oh, don't I have any friends who will open up to me? If even Louise Françoise, my old friend whom I've missed dearly, acts so distant, I would just die!"

"Your Highness..."Louise lifted her face. Saito was perplexed at Louise's good behavior. Normally she was a bitch, but in front of this new delight, he meant person she was being polite. Concentrating on feeling his presence fade, He sensed something approaching but continued watching.

"When we were little children, didn't we get together and chase butterflies at the palace courtyard? And got all muddy?"

With a shy face, Louise answered."...Yes, and La Porte the chamberlain told us off for getting our clothes so dirty."

"Yes! That's right, Louise!" Henrietta smiled nostalgically. "We were arguing over those puffy cream cakes and ended up having a real scuffle! Oh, whenever we fought, it was me who always lost. You would grab my hair, and I'd just start crying."

"Not at all, Princess achieved victory on at least one occasion." Louise said, looking sentimental.

"You remembered! Looking at the two of us, one could call that battle the Siege of Amiens! Even more fierce than the rise of Sir Percival!"

"That was when we were fighting over a dress in Princess' bedroom, wasn't it?" Louise commented. Her familiar was quietly shivering from keeping his laughter in check.

A cute child Louise. Yeah right!

"Yes, in the middle of our 'Make-Believe Royal Court', we ended up fighting over who would play princess! And it was my blow to your stomach, Louise Françoise, that successfully decided it."

"I fainted in the presence of Princess."

After that, the two of them exchanged glances and broke out in laughter. Saito, amazed, just kept watching them in that state. The princess may have looked like a lady, but she was actually a tomboy.

His inner self was already salivating at her visage. Beautiful, virgin, strong, and an opposite of Louise. He was formulating his attack while looking at the two girls apprehensively.

"That's more like it. Louise. Ah, I'm getting so nostalgic, tears are coming out."

"So how do you guys know each other?" Saito asked suppressing any of his hunger as Louise closed her eyes in reminiscence before answering.

"I had the pleasure of serving as Princess' playmate back when we were children."

After that, Louise turned back to Henrietta.

"But I am deeply moved that Princess would remember such things... I thought you'd already forgotten about me."

The princess gave a deep sigh and sat down on the bed. "How could I forget? During those times, every day was fun. There was nothing at all to worry about."

There was a profound sadness in her voice. Saito saw this and sensed the same feeling he saw when she arrived at the school.

"Princess?" Louise looked worried as she peered into Henrietta's face.

"How I envy you. Freedom is such a wonderful thing, Louise Françoise." Henrietta said with melancholy.

"What are you saying? You're the royal princess, are you not?" Louise asked in confusion.

"A princess born in her kingdom is like a bird being raised in a cage. You go here and there on your master's every whim." Henrietta said, looking lonely as she gazed at the moon outside the window. She then held Louise's hands and gave a sweet smile before speaking.

"I... I'm getting married."

"...You have my congratulations." Louise, who somehow felt the sadness in that tone, spoke in a subdued voice. Saito himself was conflicted. Should he begin his plans in pursuing her or let destiny play with this meal.

It was at that moment of contemplation that Henrietta noticed Saito, who had been sitting on his chair observing them.

"Oh, forgive me. Was I intruding?" She asked while looking at the other human. He was of average skinny build. With midnight black hair and sapphire blue eye that sooth you very soul and ignite something else.

"Intruding? How would that be?" Louise asked in confusion while looking at Saito. Her familiar was always a puzzle. One moment insolent and persevering and the next subservient and cowardly. The one constant was her feeling that she was losing.

"Well, isn't he your lover? Oh no! It seems I was so caught up reminiscing that I didn't realize my blunder!" Henrietta said in a panic.

"Huh? Lover? That creature?" Louise denied cruelly.

"Stop calling me that." Saito said with a tired voice. He had already predicted with 92% accuracy that Louise was a bitch to her core.

"Princess! That's just my familiar! Don't even joke about it being my lover!" Louise shook her head wildly, denying Henrietta's words.

Yep. A real bitch that was now his sex doll!

"Familiar?" Henrietta looked at Saito with a blank expression on her face. Those sapphire eyes seem to tell you its alright, but also making one cry. She them mumbled absentmindedly. "But he looks like a human..."

"I am a human, Princess." Saito gave a strained greeting to Henrietta. It was hard suppressing his urges after breeding Louise and he didn't get enough time to meet with either Tabitha or Siesta. And he was even more hurt by how hard Louise had denied they were lovers. Even though that really was the case, it hurt all the same.

Well, his sex doll was a close second but still.

He recalled Louise's profile as she gazed at the other young noble during the day. Even though he knew the truth, he had no proof, so it was his word again that man. Plus, his loathing was severe, meaning he was also a powerful mage and thus Saito's enemy.

At any rate... I'm a familiar. An earthling. Not a noble.

And I want to go home. I want to eat a teriyaki burger. Yeah, and I might even receive an answer at the online dating service. Hell, I want to use these powers to create a Harem back home and fuck my way to the top! Maybe bring Mom and Dad to the Dojo Mountain. Grandpa and Granny would smile and be happy!

Painful thoughts like these were swirling together into a chain. Along with a thought of rage.

And maybe destroy those heartless bastards!

Feeling a great weight upon him, he put his hand on the table. As fast as Saito had become elated, his feelings fell just as soon. What a hectic personality this young boy had...

"True, true. Oh, Louise Françoise, you may have changed since our younger days, but you are still quite the same." Henrietta nodded with understanding.

"I didn't make it my familiar because I wanted to." Louise looked disappointed. Henrietta gave off another sigh.

Considering I'm awesome, your incompetence is a natural seal. Saito commented in his head. Louise asked the princess.

"Princess, what happened?"

"No, it's nothing. Forgive me, oh, I'm so ashamed of myself." Henrietta deflected defensively. "It's not something I should tell you... but I am just so..."

"Please tell me. What troubles are they that cause Princess, as cheerful as she is, to sigh like this?"

"...No, I cannot tell you. Please forget I said anything. Louise."

"I will not! Didn't we use to talk about everything? Princess was the one who had called me a friend. Won't you share your worries with your friend?"

Just tell her already! Man, this scene is like from a B rated movie.

"Come now, Good friends must have some dramatics. Don't you agree?"

I suppose.

After Louise spoke, Henrietta gave off a cheerful-looking smile. "You've called me a friend, Louise Françoise. That makes me so happy."

"Plus, she's too stubborn to let it go." Saito remarked earning him a glare from Louise while he shrugged. "I'm just saying."

Henrietta smiled at that remark nodded her head in determination and began to talk. "You must not speak to anyone about what I am about to tell you now."

After that, she gave a quick glance in Saito's direction.

"Should I step outside?"Saito stood up attempting to leave. But Henrietta shook her head.

"A mage and her familiar are as one. I see no reason for you to leave."

It wouldn't matter since this room was bugged by me but whatever.

Saito complied at listened.

And with a sad tone, Henrietta started talking.

"I am to marry the Emperor of Germania..."

"Germania, you say?!" Louise, who hated Germania, spoke out in astonishment. "That country of barbaric upstarts?!"

Barbaric? Hardly. Aren't they one of the Five Great Nations of humanity on this world? Otto hadn't covered them yet, but something tells me you all wouldn't care.

"Yes. But it can't be helped. It must be done to solidify our alliance."

Henrietta explained the political climate of Halkeginia to Louise.

There was an insurrection among the nobles of Albion, and it looked like the Royal Family would soon be overthrown. If the rebels won, then the next thing would be the invasion of Tristian. To defend against this, Tristan was looking to form an alliance with Germania. For the alliance's sake, it was decided that Princess Henrietta would be married into the Germanian Imperial Family...

"So that's why..." Louise said with a depressed voice. It was clear from Henrietta's tone that she did not desire this wedding.

"It is alright. Louise, I have long since abandoned the notion of marrying the one whom I love."

"Princess..."

"Those two-faced Albion nobles do not want Tristan and Germania to become allies. Two arrows are easier to break when they are not tied together." Henrietta murmured.

"...Therefore, they have been searching frantically for anything that would interfere with the marriage.

"And they've found something..."Saito concluded. He had no real knowledge of Albion but, from the lesson and myths Otto had been hammering Louise. The Nation had a stronger army and navy core, was home to a plethora of magical creatures and were protected by a group called the Knights of Round. Word omission aside, perhaps that was the name of this world Round table of Arthurian legend?

Saito didn't know anything about the alliance or Albion, but in any case, it seemed like it was something serious. Yup, as big as another Genji scandal, Saito thought with a nod.

"Then this is about that thing that could get in the way of Princess' wedding?" Louise asked, her face looking pale, and Henrietta gave a regretful nod.

"Oh, Founder Brimir... please save this unfortunate princess..."

Henrietta covered her face with her hands and crumbled on the floor. Saito was a little shocked at the dramatic gesture. He'd never seen anything so grandiose in his life. Granted he was living here so everything a noble did was grandiose, but still.

"Tell me, please! Princess! Just what is it that could interfere with the princess' wedding?" Louise, like she had also been infected, rattled off with an agitated look. With both hands still on her face, Henrietta looked like she was in pain as she began muttering.

"...It is a letter that I had written some time ago."

"A letter?"

A letter? Wait…?

"Yes. If those Albion nobles get their hands on it... they would probably send it forward to the Germanian Imperial Family as soon as they could."

"What kind of letter could that be?"

"...That I cannot tell you. But if the Germanian Imperial Family were to read it... they would never forgive me. The marriage would fall through, and with it, the alliance with Tristan. Then Tristan would stand alone against the strength of Albion."

Shit! It's either a secret deal from the past or something romantic like…

"A"

SHUT UP! No spoilers! Let's just watch this soap opera unfurl.

Louise gave a gasp and seized Henrietta's hands.

"Where would that letter be? The letter that would bring crisis to Tristan!"

Henrietta shook her head. "It is not with us. The truth of the matter is, it is already in Albion."

"Albion! But then...! Is it already in the enemy's hands?"

"No... the one who holds the letter is not with the rebels of Albion. As the conflict between the rebels and his kinsmen unfolded, Prince Wales of the Royal Family..."

"The Prince Wales? The Prince Valiant?"

Saito was smashing his head on wall in his imagination. Things were getting close to his guess!

Henrietta bent back and laid down on the bed.

"Oh, it's a disaster! Sooner or later, Prince Wales will fall captive to the rebels! And when that happens, the letter will come to light! And everything would be ruined! Ruined! Without an alliance, Tristan would have to take on Albion by itself!"

Louise held her breath.

"Then, Princess, the favor that you're asking of me..." she asked for confirmation.

"Impossible! It's impossible, Louise! How could I be so terrible? It's all confusing! When I think about it, I couldn't ask you to do such a dangerous thing as to go to Albion while this conflict between the nobles and the royalists is unfolding!"

"What are you saying? Be it the kettles of hell, or into the jaws of a dragon, if it's for Princess' sake, I'll go anywhere! There is no way the third daughter of the House of la Valliere, Louise Françoise, could overlook such a crisis for Princess and Tristan!"

Louise kneeled and lowered her head reverently.

"Please leave this matter to me, the one who has captured Fouquet the Crumbling Earth." She said in a resolute voice.

Saito, who had been leaning on his arm against the wall, turned to look at Louise and spoke.

"Hey, wasn't that me?" he asked mildly irked.

"You're my familiar."

"Yeah?"

"A familiar's achievement, is its master's achievement." Louise said with perfect confidence.

"And a familiar's mistake?" Saito asked expecting to hear something stupid.

"That would be your mistake, wouldn't it?" She stated shamelessly.

Fuck you bitch! Oh, wait I already did.

Though he felt somewhat cheated, it was useless to object when Louise got into her usual threatening attitude without resorting to his full abilities, so Saito just nodded half-heartedly.

"So, you will help me?" Henrietta asked with appreciation. "Louise Françoise! You are a dear friend!"

"Of course! Princess!" she shouted earnestly.

Louise grasped Henrietta's hands, and as the former spoke heatedly, the latter gave in and started crying.

"Princess! I, Louise, forever friend of the princess, will be your confidante! Have you forgotten my vow of eternal loyalty?"

"Ah, the loyalty. This loyalty and sincere friendship! I'm deeply moved. I will never forget through life your loyalty and friendship! Louise Françoise!" Henrietta was overjoyed. Her friend was still kind and loyal.

Saito opened his mouth gaping and stared half amazed at the two. It was like a conversation between two people who were getting drunk with their own words that his dad mentions during the few times his heart returned. Ah, so this is how it's like for nobles and princesses, it's troublesome, Saito was strangely convinced as he watched.

It was worse because this was way ahead of schedule. He needed to recalibrate the proxies, complete finishing them and the armors and testing the 3D kit of the furnace. Copulate with Tabitha and keep it all under wraps.

He was really going to have to put an all nightery for this. Going to Albion was becoming a real dra-.

Wait.

"Louise," Saito interrupted the two girls from their emotion girl high. "Sorry to bother you while you're reaffirming your friendship and everything."

"What?"

"Going to Albion in the middle of a war is fine, but what use am I going to be?" Saito was confident he made everyone, but the Tower Masters, Osmond and Tabitha were fooled into thinking he was just a commoner. Louise especially.

"I've bought you a sword. You can use that, at least."

"Yeah. Yeah. I'll do my best for my bratty master." Saito acknowledged with a nod and a smile. Louise was growing irritated at the remark but stopped herself because she was in the presence of the Princess.

Saito lowered his head gloomily. It was a blessing that Louise never investigates things with interest on his identity as Gandalf. Her attitude toward him barely changed at all.

Legendary or not, she still treats me like a dog.

Underneath his lowered head his eye showed the opposite of a peaceful smile.

But thankfully, she's my bitch.

"Then shall we go to Albion, find the Crown Prince of Wales, and get the letter back, Princess?" Louise turned to Henrietta unaware of her familiar's hostility.

"Yes, that is correct. I feel confident that you, the ones who have caught Fouquet the Crumbling Earth, should be able to accomplish this difficult mission."

"As you wish. How urgent is this task?" Louise asked for a timeframe.

"I've heard that the nobles of Albion have managed to drive the royalists into a corner of the country. It will just be a matter of time before they are defeated."

Louise's face looked serious as she bowed to Henrietta.

"Then tomorrow, we shall depart."

Damn it, Louise!

Afterwards, Henrietta turned her gaze towards Saito. Saito's heart skipped a beat and his bloodlust was gradually rising. Though Louise was also foolishly lovely and neat (even as a bitch), Princess Henrietta was so beautiful that he almost gasped. Her millet-colored hair, trimmed right above her eyebrows, was swimming gracefully. Her blue eyes shone brilliantly like the southern seas.

White skin, on which floated a feeling of purity, a nose like a priceless and finely shaped sculpture.

And from Saito keen eye, she had a body that would probably increase his already large appetite for the worst.

Damn. I want to rip her cloth off and conquer her. Why did it have to be a princess this time!

Saito stared at Henrietta as if he was in a trance. Louise looked at this with a chilly gaze. It didn't seem like she was in a good mood. Saito noticed and contemplated the cause to calm his already erratic state of mind.

Why are you looking at me like that, Louise? Ah, is it because I'm staring at the princess with admiration? Could you possibly be getting jealous? But weren't you blushing when you saw that noble with the feathered hat? And weren't you completely out of it after that?

It's funny how jealous you're getting, Louise. Saito shook his head. Rather than your lover, aren't I just your familiar? Will I never be more than a dog for you? Despite the act you are a bitch to me.

Saito's thoughts soon became sarcastic.

I'm just your dog, so why are you looking at me like that, Louise? Ah, is it because I am a dog? Is it because someone like me, who's just at the level of a dog, is looking at her? My apologies. Please forgive me for ever being born to disgusting a bitch like you. Woof.

Saito's face smiled at Louise with amusement.

Louise looked away from Saito with a "Hmph". Saito turned away as well.

Henrietta didn't notice the subtle exchange between Saito and Louise, and she began speaking in a cheerful voice. "Dependable familiar."

"Yes? You mean me?" After Henrietta called him dependable, the slumping Saito became happier.

"Naw, I'm not that dependable."

Just unwilling to go all out.

"Please keep taking care of my most precious friend."

And then she gently held out her hand. A handshake? he thought, but the back of her hand was turned upwards. What sort of gesture was this? Wait weren't there anime scenes for this?

"That won't do! Princess!" Louise spoke up with an astonished voice. "To offer your hand to a familiar!"

"It is alright. This person will be acting for my sake, and without a reward, I won't have his loyalty."

"Ah..."

Really! You think I'm a dog too!?

"Offering a hand? The way someone does to a dog? Is that how you treat your dogs?" Saito stooped and lowered his head. He prayed Louise doesn't Corrupted the princess before he does.

"That's not it. Ooh, therefore, you're a dog..., a commoner dog who doesn't know anything. When she offers her hand, it means you can kiss her. That's saying it plainly."

"That's...how aggressive..."Saito's mouth opened widely. He'd never thought that he'd be allowed to kiss a princess from another world.

Wait. This is medieval land, so it followed old chivalric crap. So, two options are present.

Kiss the hand.

Or…...

Saito looked at the Princess.

Henrietta smiled sweetly at Saito. Her smile appeared business-like to other people, but Saito was thinking 『I'd love to』.

To be liked by such a princess wouldn't be half bad, he thought. Screw it! I choose B!

Saito grinned deliberately at Louise. Louise muttered under her breath and turned her face away.

Ah, what, so you *are* getting jealous. Just look at yourself. This is what you get for getting charmed by that noble with the plumed hat and for blushing, Saito thought. This is a chance in the lifetime. I must take it!

Saito increased his aphrodisiac and slave proteins in his tongue and activated the oil.

He then caught Henrietta's hand, and then firmly pulled her to him.

"Eh?"

Henrietta absentmindedly opened her mouth in surprise. Then before they could blink, Saito pushed his lips against Henrietta's.

With tongue.

"Mmph..."

What tender, tiny lips they were. Henrietta's eyes opened widely into circles. Unknown to her something was creeping into her body and spreading all around it. After in had penetrated and merged with her in instantly vanished without a trace.

All in the span of Saito's French kiss.

The circles went white. The strength left Henrietta's body, and, slipping through Saito's hands, she fell to the bed.

"She fainted? Wh-why's that?" Saito pretended to be shocked.

"What are you doing to her highness?! You d-d-d-dog!"

"Woof?"

When Saito turned around, the bottom of Louise's shoe was flying towards him.

Saito dodged Louise's jump kick in the face and spun away to about two feet.

"What was that for?!" When Saito said that, Louise, whose kick made her hit the wall was jumping on one leg angrily his way.

Saito decide to let her vent, so he increased his body's defenses and shut down his sense of pain to as mush a possible. Not all, but most.

"It was on her hand she gave you permission, the back of her hand! A kiss on the back of the hand! Why'd you give her an all-out kiss on the lips?!" Louise then recover and proceeded to trample on his face.

But thanks to his control of is biology, her blows didn't injure him as they used to with infuriated her even more.

Saito was smile contently while staring at Louise face.

She was so mad, it looked like she was going to catch fire.

"How should I know!?" Saito argued with faked indignation. "I don't know anything about your rules here."

But you seem to abuse them.

As his face was getting trampled, Saito spread his hands and spoke plainly. Getting stepped on was something Saito had experience with.

Afterall the more she abused him, the less sympathy he'd have when he mates with her.

"Y-y-y-you, you, you dog..."Louise's voice began trembling in fury. Growing even more as she looked at Saito's smug uninjured look.

Henrietta rose from the bed while shaking her head. Louise rushed to kneel beside her. She then grabbed Saito's head and pushed it down to the bed.

"I-I'm sorry! My familiar's misconduct is my own misconduct! And you say it, too! Apologize!"

What a hypocrite.

The ever-prideful Louise was apologizing to someone. On top of that, she was shaking all over. If I don't do what she says, she'll probably give me hell for it later.

Still…

"Sorry." Saito apologized. "I only did it since you told me I could kiss you."

"And where can you find someone who would go for the lips when they hear that?!" Louise yelled.

"Right here." Saito pointed at the room.

Louise struck Saito with her fist and he willingly fell on the floor. "How forgetful. Who gave you permission to use human language? Just bark. Dog. Come on, bark, I say. Everyone looks at the doggie. Stupid dog."

Then she stamped on Saito's head and ground it against the floor.

"I-it's alright. Loyalty must be rewarded, after all." Henrietta bowed her head, giving real effort to appear calm. Subconsciously, she was feeling an empty longing. Saito felting this and continues smiling.

At that time, the door slammed open and someone came flying in.

"You! The princess! What do you think you're doing?!"Guiche de Gramont barged in with an ever-present imitation rose in his hand.

"What do you want?" Saito said from where he lay on the floor as Louise continued stepping on his face. It was inspiring he could remain calm with a bratty violent bitch was trying to hurt him.

"Guiche! You! Were you eavesdropping? Did you hear our conversation just now?!" Louise yelled and stopped her abuse on humanity.

Guiche, however, didn't answer the pair's questions and just stood in a daze.

"For my hunt of the rose-like, lovely princess bringing me to this place... and then seeing a theft, so to speak, occur through the door's keyhole... that idiot commoner taking a kiss..."

Guiche flourished his imitation rose and cried. "Duel with me! You scoundrel!"

Saito calmly sprang up, walked forward and drove his fist into Guiche's face.

"Agah!"

"Duel away then, stupid! I still remember how you broke my arm! Let's go!" Saito gave Guiche, who had fallen to the floor, a hard kick, then he Pressed his foot on Guiche chest close to his neck and activate templar subtly.

"Th-that's not fair!" Guiche complained "You! Gah!"

"So, what now? This guy overheard Princess' story. Shall we have him hanged?" If the opponent was a guy, Saito could be very serious. Part of him meant as a joke and another part for practical reason. While other parts were hungry for blood.

"That might be best... it's really too bad he had to hear our conversation just now..." Louise agreed in mock apathy. She didn't really want to harm Guiche, but she felt Saito was threatening him and piggybacked on it.

Guiche, pinned down by Saito's foot pleaded. "Your Highness! Please appoint me, Guiche de Gramont, to this difficult mission."

"Oh? You?"

"You go to sleep."

Saito increase the gravity. Guiche wriggled gaudily.

"Let me join your group!" Guiche yelped as he collapsed.

"Why?"

Guiche's face reddened. "I wish to be of use to Her Highness..."

Saito was sensing something from Guiche's appearance right then. "You just want to look good for the Princess."

"Don't say such rude things. I am, absolutely, just wanting to be of use to Her Highness." However, Guiche's face was burning intensely as he said this. Telling by the passionate look he was giving Henrietta, he was certainly under her charm.

Not that I'd fault but still.

The Princess was His!

Or soon she will be.

"But you have a girlfriend. Who was that again? Uh, Monmon-something..."

"It's Montmorency."

"So, what's going on?" Saito asked but knowing Guiche he could guess.

But Guiche was silent.

Ah, I see, Saito thought.

" She completely dumped you, I bet?" Saito ask with a Rance-like grin.

"Q-quiet! It was all your fault!"

It was a matter of the perfume in the dining hall. When he was caught two-timing, Guiche was dripping with wine from the top of his head courtesy of Montmorency.

"Gramont? Ah, of General Gramont?" Henrietta fixed her eyes on Guiche's vacantly looking face. She heard that though the Gramonts were skirt chasers, they were military minded strategists and leader who are forever loyal to the Royal family of Tristan.

"I am his son, Your Highness." Guiche stood up and gave a reverent bow. A skirt chaser he may be, but a sloppy one he is not.

"Are you also saying that you wish to help me?"

"It would be an unexpected blessing for me if I were to become a part of that mission."

Henrietta smiled at Guiche's enthusiastic expression. "Thank you. Your father is a great, brave noble, and it seems you have inherited his blood. Then, please. Would you help this unfortunate princess, Sir Guiche?"

"Her Highness has called my name! Her Highness! Tristan's lovely flower has smiled her rosy smile at me!" Guiche, having felt too much excitement, fell on his back in a faint.

"Is he alright?" Henrietta ask tilting her cutely.

Saito poked at Guiche. Louise paid no mind to the disturbance and spoke in a serious voice. "Well then, tomorrow morning, we shall depart for Albion."

"We have heard that Prince Wales has set up camp somewhere around Newcastle in Albion." Henrietta said.

"Understood. I've travelled through Albion with my sisters before, so I'm familiar with the geography."

"It will be a perilous journey. If the nobles of Albion discover your mission, they will do everything in their power to get in your way."

Henrietta sat at the desk and, with Louise's feather quill and some parchment, wrote a letter out.

Henrietta quietly gazed at the letter she had written herself, before she began shaking her head sadly.

"Princess? What's the matter?" Louise, thinking something was up, called out.

"I-it's nothing." Henrietta blushed, gave a nod as if she had settled on something, then added another line at the end. After that, she murmured in a soft voice. Saito frowned at her expression but conclude on looking at Assassin's memory banks.

"Founder Brimir... Please forgive this selfish princess. Even though my country is in distress, I cannot help but write this one sentence... I cannot lie about my own feelings..." Henrietta's facial expression made it seem like she had written a love-letter rather than a secret message. Louise couldn't say anything more, and just looked at Henrietta quietly.

Saito sighed sadly at his next target. One or another he felt the trip would change him and expose him.

Henrietta rolled up the letter she had written. She waved her staff. Out of nowhere, sealing wax appeared on the rolled-up letter, and a seal pressed down on it. Then she handed the letter over to Louise.

"When you meet the Crown Prince Wales, please pass this letter to him. He should then return the letter in question immediately."

After that, Henrietta removed a ring from the ring finger on her right hand and gave it to Louise.

"This is a 『Water Ruby』 that I had received from my mother." Henrietta explained "It should work as a good-luck charm, at least. If you have any money concerns, please sell this to get some travel funds."

Louise bowed her head in silence.

"This mission is for the future of Tristan. For that, my mother's ring will protect you from the harsh winds blowing in Albion."

Henrietta Room

Tristan Academy may be a prestigious school for guiding young mages, but it was also made by those mages.

Who were elevated into Nobility?

And because they were Nobles, there were several dozen private rooms for Royal dignitaries, Foreign representatives and extra students.

After confirming and giving her childhood friend Louise her request, Henrietta quietly snuck back to her room. Being raised in the Royal Palace with nothing to do does help one's ability for spying, sneaking, disguise, basically the art of subterfuge. While she may be unable to avoid Osmond's familiar network, she was able to return to her room without anybody noticing.

Well, almost anyone.

Henrietta closed the door to her room and sighed with relief when a critical sarcastic voice was heard.

"Had fun with that twerp?"

Henrietta shook and looked around the room for the source of the voice. Finding the source on her bed and relieved it was not Cardinal Mazarin, she relaxed more.

"Please refrain from calling Louise anymore cruel names please," She requested. "While I may find your jabs at the Cardinal amusing, in the long run they are exhausting."

"Duly noted," the voice answered. On her bed Henrietta saw something shimmer and come to view. It was that cyan colored, cat sized squirrel. "But I still have the right to use anything she does for my own amusement."

Henrietta sighed and nodded her head in acceptance. She understood it was impossible to order it any further on the topic, so she accepted its comment.

Ratatoskr- a common familiar with inferior spying abilities to the Hider mice. Normally attributed to Earth and wind element. However, some scholars argue that due to certain mutation in the lineage for generations, a fire or water variant is born.

Yes, her familiar was an Aqua blue Ratatoskr, Edgar.

Using water magic in it fur to refract light, Edgar can vanish and become transparent. He also has his species' tree screech rumored to slice or crush boulders. But it is his intellect that was the trade-off. I exchange for cunning intellect and human tendencies; some skills were lost. And it would take a mage a lot of skill to control one.

Thus, he is a blatant example to see Henrietta's skill level. And because of that only her family, the cardinal, Osmond, and those she trusted were aware of Edgar's existence.

"Then Edgar, how'd your search go?" Henrietta asked wearing her royal mask of professionalism. Being a royal meant learn how to act around various people, showing no one their true side.

She had ordered her familiar to sneak around and locate any spies or traitors.

"I didn't succeed in searching" Edgar said while rubbing his back on the bed.

"But why?" she asked, shocked at Edgar not obeying, but understanding he should be able to explain.

"You ordered me to look for anything strange, but come on princess," Edgar stated. "I searched for any suspicious and besides 8 areas, I found nothing. Your kingdom's nobles are still bigoted, stupid and loyal. Because I couldn't enter. I failed you."

"No, you didn't," she reassured him. She knew Edgar was a perfectionist in that regard, and his report was better than she thought. "What are the places that you couldn't enter?"

"Osmond's office and room, The rooms of the Tower Masters, two 2nd years room, and a shack in the Vestri Courtyard."

She understood why her familiar couldn't enter those rooms. Osmond as the headmaster and as such there were magical wards keeping things secure there. As she was tutored by Vital Flood Skadi, she could understand that Waldo would make a perfect deterrent and the other have their own countermeasures.

That left the last three rooms.

"And?"

"And what, princess? For each of them I either couldn't enter it. Something tried to kill me, or I couldn't get in and was afraid something was going to kill me."

Henrietta was curious what could warrant such a deduction.

"I tried enter one student's room and a hider mouse blocked me warning that not even they would enter there. When I tried a barrier blocked me. Even my tooth failed to break it. I tried to enter that shack, but both a barrier and fear came to me, so I gave up there. It wasn't until I tried sneaking in the second student's room did the source of that fear become known."

"What was it?" Henrietta was focused on the story. Any information could help.

"When I entered camouflaged, I didn't sense any life signs. And a foot stomp in the direct I was about to head."

"They must be strong or perceptive to see you."

"Yeah," Edgar agreed. "But I doubt they were spies from another nation or the Palace. Otherwise they would have killed me. No, they just wanted me away from the room."

"Are they threat?", Henrietta asked worriedly. While she was nervous about the letter, she was still the Princess of Tristan and had a responsibility to keeping the country safe.

"Relax child," Edgar comforted warmly. "While they are an anomaly, we must focus at the task at hand."

Henrietta nodded her head and prepared for bed. She wished that maybe her dreams would be of fond memories with her love Wales.

Edgar quietly watched his master sleep. He had loyally watched the girl since he was summoned. At first, he thought she was an impertinent brat, but after they escaped several close calls, he hated to admit it be he was beginning to see the female human as his own daughter.

Which was why he didn't tell her about the other discovery he found. Out of concern for her peace of mind.

When he went to the shack, he sensed for abnormal golem-like presences. In the 2nd student room, he picked up the strong scent of sex. Hidden from human smell but not his. And a terrifying golem monster that tried stomping him to death.

Hen didn't tell her this because it was a guess, but he was sure it was related to what he saw when they came here.

When Henrietta went out of her carriage, he secretly followed her and felt primal fear. Next to that pink haired twerp was a black-haired boy and two girls with red and blue hair. He saw the black hair boy and felt that fear. Worse, it matched the signature of the three areas he couldn't enter.

He was against her getting close to him, but she trusts the pinky to fulfill her wish, so he just hoped she found a miracle.

Even as he was certain her love would die.

Grail furnace

Tabitha arched her back as bolts of ecstasy travel through her spine and in her brain. After Saito put Louise to sleep, he went to Siesta and plowed her good inside his shack. He then took the passageway to meet with Tabitha and had sex with her for 5 hours straight. With a Creampie.

And just as Tabitha predict, those hours have brought to the brink of pulverizing her sanity with pleasure. She was naked on the spare bed with little control over her leg. Every inch of her body was painted with sweat, love nectar and every fluid of from Saito member.

I fact, right now she was cleaning Saito's dick with her mouth, sucking and licking it to harden further. Her eyes glazed with lust and fervor and swallowing Saito seed every time he climaxed. This was to clean his dick, but also to give some time to get more strength back into her legs.

After she climaxed the 24th time, she was certain tat something in Saito's body was an addictive aphrodisiac binding her to him. But she was growing to not care.

Weeks without sex and Saito were the worst forms of withdrawal she had experienced, but she knew that fueling such an addiction would bind her heart and soul to this boy. But the warmth she felt mad it worth it.

"Can you stand?" her lover asked concern. With her mouth occupied, she looked at him and nodded her head before reluctantly letting go.

"Good. I'll carry you." Saito said before getting and lift her bridal style. Tabitha lowered her head to hide her embarrassment as both lovers went the Grail Furnace naked.

Before they went to work, they, both cleaned themselves up and went to the core properly dressed.

"We're going to need to do a double whammy," Saito said as he lifted his arm and activated his Templar abilities. "Caster."

Tabitha looked and saw Caster pushing buttons of light while several objects floated around and moved to combine. She saw Rider and the three metal skeletons connecting tubes from the Furnace to two coffins standing opposite each other.

The coffin to their left this one was the same height as the Lancer proxy. But it depicted an army of swordsmen rallying under the banner of a central figure pointing a sword high into the sky. Every figure was pointing their sword at it giving the image of a mass blade pointing up.

The coffin to the right was the same height as the first. However, it had one figure standing on a hill. It was surrounded by four bows firing arrows and the arrows and shooting star falling to the ground. It formed an umbrella shape of shooting stars and Triangles around to figure.

Saito willed the Lancer proxy between the two coffins and disengage to Terminus Armor. Revealing a lean athletic young adult male that spelled warrior with countless scars. Its face had red eyes of a cat, dark blue short hair and carried an amused smirk.

Saito looked at Tabitha and she went to work.

She quickly cast 'Rob Heat', "Cold barrier", and Vacuum Sphere around the Coffins.

"Your silent chanting has improved." Saito nodded with pride. All those lessons and times they've fucked were paying off.

Tabitha looked at Saito waiting for an explanation.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Saito started. "That idiot accepted a request from Princess Henrietta to retrieve something. And something in my gut is telling that trouble will appear."

"And you need backup just in case." Tabitha finished with understanding.

Saito looked at her with a smile. "I wouldn't mind your help in this. But Kirche might come along and it would be suspicious if our party increased."

"Split-up?" Tabitha suggested.

"Yeah, we'll talk later. Right now, we need to finish this." Saito turned to face the final pieces of his grail Proxy.

He soon began his chant:

"The Noblest of all is I

Whose body is Steel, and soul is Valor

For Crime and Death,

For Law and Life.

My path is decided on the Righteous,

Yet soaked in blood I reach Heaven.

I am the Sword!"

The left coffin glowed, and electricity surged out, but head for Lancer. The proxy lift it hand to take in the energy and then aim it at to right coffin the was also surging with power.

As the energy blended with the second coffin Tabitha saw Saito clasping his hands in prayer and began chanting:

"Through Time I fly high

Changing Form and Identity with Growth.

Discarding weakness,

Denying Strength.

I have pursued Power in an unending march to Victory.

But I must fall and take Life to return from Hell.

My Bow the Foundation and I the Bullet."

This time the energy from the right surged and mimicked the path to the 1st coffin. It became a dance of energy move right to left increasing and growing stronger with each exchange. Saito them commanded the other 4 proxies to return to their coffins and quickly link to Lancer. When they finish, the energy was evenly distributed to all seven Proxies, but the reaction kept going.

With reluctance, Saito slowly activated the emergency shutdown code and transferred the energy reaction to the Grail core.

At the same time, two figure emerged from the coffins. "Here put these on."

Saito threw them both a ball and upon catching it they were surrounded by slivery liquid metal.

Tabitha observed as she witnessed the proxies dressing up.

The left was wearing a grey silver knight armor with to cobalt belts attach to blue wait cloth. It was wearing a y-opened blue and gray helmet. The left shoulder flat and spiked protruding, while the right was bumpier with a carving of a beast. Both wrists wear covered in spikes. Overall it looked like and noble knight.

The right was wearing sophisticated body armor of white, black, gray and Gold with the exception being the face which appeared to be made of polished red metal.

Saito looked at both them and confirmed all systems were green.

"Saber, the King of Nobles. And Archer, the King of Hunters."

Both proxies blink rapid and bowed in acknowledgement.

Saito looked at Tabitha and gestured her closer. They embraced to comfort that sense of accomplishment. Tabitha felt due to contributing, but also because she knew he was exhausted.

"With them Complete," Saito looked at his lover with clarity." We can begin the next course of action."

END

Well it took a while but Saito has completed the set of 7 servants of the Holy Grail. For context, the Lancer proxy is equipped with Mass effect Terminus Assault Armor. Saber is equipped with the combination of the Reckner Knight Armor with Saber's outfit. The Archer proxy wears Cerberus Nightmare armor for the male character. For review a proxy is a mechanical puppetsaito connects to to commit action when he can't be physically present. Now I intend for the Albion arc to be longer so that all the lore can be revealed and to kick Wardes' ass PM and review your thoughts. I leave with a question: Should focus on story or Lemons?
