AN: Good to be back on this story, sorry for the wait been on writer's block and real-life got me off this story. I do hope I can get more chapters in this story and sis story too.

Now enjoy

...

We see on the road, Assassin in a car with Saber driving it for a calm pass than Irisviel's driving and was deep in thought, about his talk with Saber's master and the current history of the Wizarding World which brought more questions to the Counter Guardian. Many of them and some were troubling ones, to be honest.

"Assassin?" Irisviel said, getting the servant's attention.

"Yes, Irisviel," Harry replied.

"You seem to be trouble," Irisviel said.

"A bit, not much to enjoy the drive into town," Harry said as he agree to come along after the next day to be with Saber and keep Irisveil safe before going back to his master, sister, and brother-in-law.

"How about your life, Assassin? What was it like?" Saber asked, wondering about her boyfriend's of sorts life.

"Well if you don't mind calling me Harry and I will be happy to tell a good amount about myself if you don't mind Saber," Harry said, not much fan of his servant name.

"I don't mind, Harry. If you don't mind calling me by name, Artoria," Saber said.

"Artoria, very well. I guess I would start from the beginning...," Harry said as retelling the story of his life and didn't leave much out while keeping the deal he made to become a Counter Guardian light.

"When becoming a servant and summoned in this Holy Grail War, I sensed Archer, the Queen, happens to be my sister that I recently gained," Harry said.

"How so?" Irisviel asked, her question being similar to Artoria's as well.

"Not much but I believe we are counterparts is the answer I put together and thanks to your husband, Irisviel, I was able to piece together a good puzzle. But I'm shame that the wizarding world has fallen so low like in my world," Harry said, being ashamed of how both his world and this one's wizarding world have fallen. Now Mages had no better but at least they have their humanity and a good number of them can be good or bad for sure.

After hearing about his past, made both Artoria and Irisviel are sad about Harry's background. His own happiness was given up and was used as a tool but he didn't care and wanted to be a hero of his code. Becoming a Counter Guardian and reincarnation, he is able to do that and live his own life now.

"I am ashamed of how the magical British people have fallen so far. Merlin would be rolling in his grave," Artoria said.

Harry sighed and said, "It can't help Artoria. Wizards and Witches have changed over time, absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Now mages are no better but a good number of them have their morals and humanity, making them stand out far better than the wizarding world."

The pair were quiet and agreed to that which soon made it to the area which Harry had to leave after making sure Artoria and Irivsiel were safe in the new area which he won't tell anyone where they are. He planned on heading back to his master, sister, and brother-in-law for the rest of the day. And had a feeling that a certain gold king would tease him about his relationship with Saber improving up.

"I really hate him, sometimes," Harry mumbled to himself before fading away in blue flames and black shadows to teleport back to the church and deal with a few things after meeting with his master, sister, and brother-in-law.

Meanwhile/Later

It has been a few days since the banquet and Amaris was spending time with Alexis, the two females were having some girl time while Gilgamesh was busy sorting something out with Kirei, and Harry was doing a few works after returning from his time with Artoria, much to Gilgamesh on teasing him about.

Alexis hums as she watched Amaris, the queen was eating a strawberry shortcake that Alexis made since her friend was trying out her cooking skills and doing well. The Tohsaka heir chuckles when she saw a bit get on Amaris's upper lip, her chuckles drew attention.

"What?" Amaris asked amused only for Alexis to point at her lip.

"Wha? Oh, hehehe," Amaris said as she cleans her face.

"Hey, Amaris? Have you ever thought of doing a heritage test?" Alexis asked suddenly making the Queen blink before shaking her head.

"No, I don't think I have. Before all this, I was too focused on making progress in studies and regaining what memories I could to do that," Amaris said as she thought it over, maybe a heritage test would reveal who she is in this life?

"Maybe when this war is done you can get one done?" Alexis asked, to be honest, she was curious herself, just who was Amaris before she became Emily?

"I shall think about it, now, I wish to-ugh!" Amaris said before gasping a she stood up and looked out of Alexis's bedroom window towards the Mion River.

"Amaris? What's wrong?" Alexis asked getting up and moving to her side.

"Foul magic...that Caster is making his move," Amaris said narrowing her eyes before her body glows and her clothing was replaced by her armor.
