Cornelia was beginning to doubt her position amongst Those Who Slither in the Dark. It has been five days since the fated day that Lambert died. It has also been five days since he last heard anything from Thales. No confirmation, no go-ahead from him. On top of that, Rodrigue, along with his men, left the capital for something. Her spies in Fhirdiad has given her nothing, everything was being kept under wraps. Gustave stayed behind the capital, however, to hold the line in case something happens.

At this point, it should have been obvious that something was wrong. If anyone were in their right mind, it would have been right to assume they were abandoned.

However, in her pride and madness, those thoughts never entered Cornelia's mind. To her, she was useful! She was the sole foothold Those Who Slither in the Dark had in Faerghus. She was far too important to just throw away in the wayside. She had to be!

And so, she sat on her ass in the safety of her own quarters in her castle. Her private quarter was pompous, filled with the most expensive and comfortable things she could get. Of course, her expenses never reached the ears of Patricia or Lambert. Afterall, everything came from the money of the men of her castle, and so, she never spent gold for it. On the other hand, her castle was a modest one, not meant to show off. Many nobles had called it small for a castle, more so for the Court Mage of Faerghus. However, Cornelia ignored them. Afterall, the outside of her castle was made to make sure it looked unassuming. She even had a separate private quarter for when she had visitors, which was more subdued and matched her castle. All this effort was so that Those Who Slither in the Dark, through Cornelia, would gain a foothold and grow stronger in the shadows of Faerghus, as they did in Adrestia. They finally secured enough influence with Patricia under Cornelia's thumb and Thales had ordered the assassination of the Faerghus royal family. With the royal family dead, Cornelia was the strongest in Faerghus, and even more so in her own castle.

It was not that her confidence was unfounded. Her men were loyal to her, loyal enough to die for her. Her 'gifts', medallions made from Agarthan technology, made it easy for her to control those who wore them. Her soldiers may be physically strong, but their minds were weak, and they fell before they finished their training. She also gave Patricia a medallion, but her will was strong; it took Cornelia a long time to get her hold on her, and even then, that hold was shaky at best. Even inside Cornelia's castle, Patricia was able to feel sympathy and noticed that child.

Ah, yes, Hapi; She was also another card she had. Her Crest was very interesting: it let her befriend animals and other living beings easily. The most interesting part was that it also included monsters, both natural and artificial. Through Cornelia's experiments, Hapi was able to summon them through her sighs. That part certainly stumped her. Why her sighs, Cornelia never knew nor understood. Their tests didn't come to a plausible conclusion. And so, they trained her to keep her emotions in check, all so that she wouldn't unknowingly sigh.

With Hapi serving as the core of her defenses, her castle was nigh impenetrable!

Her castle was surrounded by forests all around, with a clearing around the castle. No one would be able to run through that clearing without being seen.

Even with all the knights Faerghus could throw at her, she'll survive, especially with Thales's gift, as thanks for the information on Lambert's expedition through Duscur.

A hurried knock on her doors took her out of her stupor. "Lady Cornelia!"

"What is it?" Cornelia asked.

"Soldiers in rotations are disappearing around the castle grounds. Scouts sent to find out what happened have not returned either. We've sent messengers to Fhirdiad for help." The soldier responded behind the closed doors.

Cornelia sighed. Yes, the drawback to her men was that they were nearly incapable of self-thought. They had specific instructions that they would follow but never did anything of it. Eat, walk their rotation, welcome visitors, rest, and sleep. They were similar to the Golems the Church used, but were flesh and blood, requiring human needs.

Cornelia massaged her head. Still, they kept quiet and she didn't have to hide anything except surprise visitors. Even maids and cooks were under her control through the medallions.

"This is not something I have to deal with. Perhaps you just need to look around again. The scouts are probably doing their job, scouting." Cornelia stressed that last sentence. "Where's the Quartermaster? This is his job."

"He's… Um… He's gone as well, Lady Cornelia." The soldier stammered out. "We already did defer to him. We only deferred to you when he didn't come back."

'What?' This is impossible. Her soldiers wouldn't disappear like that, especially someone like the Quartermaster. Sure, the occasional monster may drop by and take out some of her men, but the Quartermaster could take one on, especially with the enhancements Thales did to her men.

Something was going on.

Cornelia began changing to her proper Court Mage attire. "I'll be right- "

"Lady Cornelia!" A new voice rang out. "We're being attacked! The castle gates opened, and the castle is surrounded! Lambert is currently leading the charge!"

'What?'

Then, the explosions and screaming started.

'An hour before the siege.'

Emiya wasn't used to laying sieges on a castle and at the same time, get someone out alive, much less two people. As he finished setting a magic circle the perimeter around Cornelia's castle, a circle that used daggers engraved with a silencing rune on them, he looked back at what happened after he received his latest assignment.

'Soon. I failed to see it the first time. I won't fail again.'

"You said that you need something that came from Cornelia, right? Something to track her down?" Patricia asked, bringing Emiya back to reality.

"Yes, I can use almost anything, but metal and items made by hand work best," Emiya answered.

Patricia brought a medallion from somewhere in her dress.

'How? I thought dresses didn't have pockets,' Emiya thought.

"I received this from Cornelia when I arrived. As a gift from someone I thought of as a friend, I kept it close. Will this be enough?" Patricia asked.

Emiya activated Structural Analysis on the medallion. He was sickened by what he saw.

"More than enough. That's the same kind of medallion they used on me in the beginning, when I tried to escape. It has a slight hypnotizing spell, weakening the minds of those who wore it. With that, they were more accepting of suggestions." At that point, Emiya had to stop using Structural Analysis on the medallion. It gave him a headache, too much information for his young brain to take in.

Patricia paled as she turned to Lambert. "Everyone in her castle has this medallion, calling it her gift for their services."

Lambert's face transformed into one of fury. "A castle full of traitors, and all deep within Faerghus. I'll have that woman's head hang from the gates of her own home!"

Emiya nodded. There was more information from what he saw than he read due to Tracing allowing him to see the history of weapons. The medallion apparently was close enough. A man named Thales gave that medallion to Cornelia. Not only that, but he also saw Thales's face.

A man with a gaunt, pale face, pointy beard. His hair was all white, was pulled back, and had a very long window's peak. His eyes had white pupils, making it look like his eyes were white all-around. His eyes were deep under his eyebrows, giving him a menacing look. It certainly made an impression.

'That is certainly a villain's face. What is it with villains having window's peak? Wait, I also had one! Damn it!'

Emiya finally remembered, his Counter Guardian body had a similar cut, just shorter all around.

'I'm changing that when it comes.'

Shaking his head, he looked at Lambert. "You said I can start in a few days? What are we waiting for?"

"I've sent messengers two days ago back to Fhirdiad. Rodrigue, my right-hand man and best friend, should be arriving soon with his set of knights. This time, they're bringing the better weapons in our armory.

"We will begin moving back to Fhirdiad when they arrive. In the middle of our return, you will proceed to Cornelia's castle and apprehend her. Everyone will follow." Lambert laid out his plan.

Emiya's face was one of disbelief. "Hold on, why does everyone have to follow me? I'm the one that took the mission."

"Yes, I know. However, you are trained to kill monsters, not lay siege to an entire castle," Lambert countered.

Emiya narrowed his eyes. "Then what about my freedom? You won't turn back on that when you're forcing your help on me."

"No, you will still be free afterward. Just think of me, and by extension my army, as a personal vendetta. I didn't lie when I'll have her head. Kill her guards, bring Cornelia to me alive, and save the girl, Hapi." Lambert glanced at Patricia when he mentioned Hapi and turned back to Emiya. "Her castle is surrounded by a forest and a clearing separates that forest from her castle. You'll need a distraction if you want to get inside."

"That's… That's certainly thought out." Emiya raised an eyebrow at Lambert.

Lambert shrugged. "Not really. We're essentially bringing an army through a forest. It'll be hard to go through with an army. On top of that, we don't have anything to force the castle gates open. If I had Rodrigue with me and days to plan, I'm certain we would have a better plan. There are also the scouts around the castle perimeter. I'm certain they'll see us and report back to Cornelia."

Emiya smirked. "Don't worry about the gate or those scouts. I can handle those."

Lambert nodded, "Very well then." He then stroked his chin, deep in thought. "You said you had no name. How would you feel about me giving you a name?"

"Eh?" Both Patricia and Emiya were surprised.

'It's happening again, isn't it?'

Lambert scratched the back of his head. "Well, I can't exactly keep calling you 'boy' or 'child'."

His voice rang inside Emiya's head.

'My name is Emiya Kiritsugu and I'm a magus. If you want, I can adopt you. I'll give you a name too.'

"If-If you're going to give a name, can it include Emiya in it?" Emiya stammered out. "It feels right."

Emiya? Lambert and Patricia have never heard of that name before. Lambert will have to find some time to track that name. It didn't follow the naming conventions of Faerghus nor of Adrestia's.

Still, if the boy believes that name to be right, then Lambert has to accept.

Lambert nodded. "Very well. From now on, your name shall be Agilulf Emiya."

Emiya looked behind him. Cornelia's men laid on the ground behind him, unconscious.

After that talk in Duscur, it took another half a day for Rodrigue to arrive. Wasting no time, the army, along with Lambert, Patricia, Glenn, Dimitri, and the new addition of Emiya, marched back to Fhirdiad. On the way, Rodrigue caught up on what happened. His eyes dangerously flashed when he heard that Cornelia was behind the attack. He didn't hesitate to accept laying siege on the traitor's castle.

And just a bit behind the pile of Cornelia's unconscious men, Lambert and his men hid in the shadows of the forest. They waited as Emiya surrounded the clearing perimeter with his swords, creating an area where no noise could be heard.

Emiya turned back to Cornelia's castle. It was nothing grand nor large. It was… okay. It's a castle with stone walls. To be honest, Emiya was prepared to see a lavish castle, ready to show Cornelia's pride and splendor.

'Then again, that would draw attention to her castle and, by extension, her. If she's performing experiments, she'd want her castle to be unassuming, just normal. It wouldn't be the type of castle to throw parties in, thus fewer visitors.' Emiya surmised.

He turned to Lambert. Patricia, Glenn, and Dimitri were right next to him. Rodrigue was on the other side of the clearing. While Lambert led the majority of the invasion force, Rodrigue's role was to make sure no one was escaped from the back. If Cornelia escaped and he faced her, Fire spells would be fired towards the sky, signaling that the enemy was on him and for everyone to hurry and support him. Patricia would heal the front lines while Glenn protected Dimitri.

While there was a small argument on where Dimitri would be, it was decided that right next to Lambert and Glenn was the best choice. Rodrigue only had a force small enough to stall someone like Cornelia. Certainly, the better choice would be for Dimitri to be sent to Fhirdiad, but after the assassination attempt, Lambert did not feel anywhere else was safe.

"Perimeter has been secured. We can make as much noise as we want, and the castle won't hear a thing."

Patricia was surprised. "I've never seen such a large area under the Silence spell. I've also never seen spells be imbued to anything."

"It's nothing special. They're just small Silencing spells overlapping, essentially combining to make a bigger area." Emiya nodded at Patricia and turned back to Lambert. "Your Majesty, I would like to ask that I go first and for the army to wait. I'll be able to get through the clearing and get the castle gate open. From there, you can enter the castle walls and charge through the castle proper."

"Hold on, that means you're the distraction then, not us! We are not sending you to your death!" Glenn shouted.

Emiya's eyes twitched. "I thought I asked His Majesty? And let me correct you: it won't be you that sending me to my death. It'll be me sending myself to open the castle gates." Emiya pointed to the pile of Cornelia's men nearby. "If this is the skill they have, then this will be easy. On top of that, having one person enter and open the gates will make sure that everyone is ready for the charge. Better that than be sitting ducks."

Glenn narrowed his eyes and worked his jaw. In realization, his mouth slightly opened. "You just don't want people to get hurt when you can help it, don't you?"

Emiya's eyes widened in surprise and glared at Glenn. "No, this is the smarter way of doing it." He turned to Lambert. "Your Majesty, your word?"

Lambert stroked his beard and nodded.

With Lambert's acceptance, Emiya walked back to where the forest met the clearing. "The castle gates opening will be the signal to charge. Once I've cleared the area of soldiers, I won't wait; I'm charging into the castle," he said without turning back. With that, he began his entrance.

On top of his black armor was No Face May King, one of Robin Hood's Noble Phantasm. It was a cloak that hid its user, erasing any signs of the user such that their appearance meld into the forest. It was a cheat item, disabling any way for anyone to get a read on the user. However, it can't be used while attacking, so the enemy can realize that they are being followed but won't be able to detect the user.

Emiya had traced it as soon as he left Duscur, as an experiment on the effects of the new world on the Traced Noble Phantasms. While Projections did eventually disappear in his old world and Traces did stay almost infinitely long, he wanted to make sure about the effects of the new world. So far, nothing has happened; it has been a couple days since they left Duscur, and there has been no noticeable changes with No Face May King. On top of that, even though it was a non-bladed weapon, making it one of the Noble Phantasms that required more effort to Trace since it wasn't a sword, he was fully recharged since time has already passed since he Traced it.

Emiya clutched No Face May King, put on the hood, and ran through the clearing.

Agilulf put his hood on and he took off to the castle. Glenn shouted at Agilulf, only to realize that none of the guards atop the castle walls took notice of him. Lambert continued to look on as Agilulf kept running towards the wall.

'Ah, Agilulf reached the castle wall. How's he going to… Using swords as footholds to climb the walls? Clever,' Lambert thought.

As everyone watched, right before Agilulf reached the top of the walls, he summoned steel swords and launched them towards the closest unsuspecting guards. They died silently and Agilulf made sure to stay low as he stopped the dead guards from hitting the ground. No noise nor alarms sounded. Agilulf reached the inside of the walls without notice.

"Goddess…" Glenn mumbled.

Lambert shared his sentiment. It was clear that Agilulf was trained in infiltration and was used to killing people too. There was no hesitation in his actions as he cut through the remaining guards at the top of the castle walls.

He soon disappeared, and after a few tense minutes, the castle gate opened.

Lambert took a deep breath.

"Charge!"

The forest soon awoke to the sounds of armor and heavy footsteps as they charged towards the castle. However, the noise was suddenly cut off, as the army invaded the castle.

'How?! How did Lambert survive?! How is he here already?! He should be dead, along with the rest of the royal family!'

Cornelia could hardly believe it. Lambert was at her doorsteps and was currently invading her castle.

'Damn you, Thales! Worthless sack of pale shit! He had everything and he failed to kill Lambert! So now, he abandons me because of his failure?! Damn him!'

Cornelia kept cursing inside her mind. She was caught unaware and was running through the inside of her castle. She had to reach the dungeons, where she kept Thales's gift and Hapi, where her last lines of defenses were.

As she reached another hallway, she looked around and froze.

The hallway was littered with the bodies of her dead men. A body slid down from the walls as a man stepped back. No, it wasn't a man, it was a boy. He turned towards her and their eyes met.

Cornelia involuntarily took a step back. Her body was numb, and she froze, stunned by the boy's glare. He wore black armor that covered only his body, pants, and boots. He was drenched in so much dark crimson blood, it was hard to differentiate between the blood and the armor.

Suddenly, blue electricity ran around the boy's body and swords began forming.

Cornelia shot a quick Death spell at the boy and ran the opposite way, deeper into her castle. She didn't look back to make sure the boy was hit.

All she had to do was-

A sword shot from behind her, cutting her left ear as it whistled by her.

"Argh!" Cornelia shrieked in pain as she almost stumbled but caught herself. She used dark magic to levitate herself as she ran away from the boy.

She knew the boy was still alive. She knew he was hunting her down.

'So long as I get to the Titanus, I win. I'll kill this brat and everyone in this castle. They have no hope against it! With Hapi summoning monsters, my victory is secured!'

Cornelia led the chase through her castle hallways. The boy was constantly right behind her, launching those swords at her. She figured out that those same swords could be stopped by her magic circles and began shielding herself. It took more of her energy as she now had to shield herself along with levitating her body, but at least she still had the rest of her body parts.

At this point, she lost her regal look. Her forehead was coated with sweat. Her hair also came undone during the chase and much of her hair was cut by stray swords the boy launched. Her dress was also cut up and certain points, as if the boy were aiming at specific places.

'Arms, legs, a bit on the shoulders and hips, but nothing fatal. Perhaps he wants me alive?'

She was wanted alive. She could still get away from him. She still had a chance.

She turned into a stairway going down and the air became damp and cold. She smirked.

'I won!'

Pushing herself even more than before, she rushed down the steps. At the bottom lied a large chamber. There stood her prized possession, the Titanus. Deeper the chamber lied Hapi atop a table in the middle of a magic circle.

She ran behind the Titanus and turned around, waiting for the predator who had inadvertently become her prey.

Steps resounded slowly, purposefully, and the moments stretched, seeming as if she waited for him forever.

He appeared right at the entrance of the chamber. He looked up at the Titanus and his eyebrows in surprise. Afterward, he looked right back at her. No, he looked behind her, right at the table with Hapi. His face hardened and his eyes became cold. His eyebrows scrunched up into a frown.

"You have no hope, boy. You'll die here, along with the rest of the royal army! Lambert will die in the soil of his own kingdom, and his people will never know!"

As she finished, the boy raised his left and swiftly brought it down. He didn't summon swords. She tried to move but found her body was frozen.

'What?'

"What did you do?! Why can't I move? Release me!" At the very least, she could still speak. "Foolish boy, you think I'm useless now that I can't move?! Titanus, crush him!" She shrieked as she was forced to watch as the battle began.

The chamber rumbled as the Titanus moved. The boy began running towards his right, summoning steel swords, and then shot them towards it. However, before the swords reached the monster, a yellow barrier stopped, as if it were a shell atop the monster.

The monster brought its right hand up and slashed at the boy and the ground. The flooring cracked and the chamber rumbled as dust flew everywhere. Cornelia tried to keep an eye out for the boy, with what she could with her limited movement, and saw that he jumped out of the dust cloud. He retreated to gain space away from the Titanus.

Steps began to ring out from the front of the chamber. Suddenly, Lambert, Patricia, and several of his men arrived. His eyes roamed through the room. His eyes became wide at the sight of the Titanus and when his eyes saw her, his face distorted to one of rage. Cornelia also saw Patricia and her face was the same.

However, before anything else could happen, the boy finally stopped retreating. He held his hand in front of him, as if holding on to something that wasn't there.

"I am the bone of my sword."

It was barely audible, yet those were the words that Cornelia heard. At the end of his chant, the air around became dry and heavy. Cornelia, Lambert, Patricia, and the soldiers took a breath as it became harder to breathe.

They all felt a feeling of dread, as if they were prey, that they had impending doom, as a spear formed on the boy's hand.

It was crimson red, as if the spear were bathed in blood. The handle was wrapped in some sort of vine or nerves of a body. The spear ended with a sharp point.

The boy took a stance. His feet were should-width apart, his left foot pointed at the Titanus, his right foot behind and pointing slightly to his right side. His left hand held the spear underneath and pointed it down. His right hand held the other end higher than his left.

He glared at the Titanus. The spear suddenly erupted in a red aura, as if it were alive.

"I'll have your heart!"

The ground around him broke as ran forward. He rushed towards the Titanus at such speeds that it was almost impossible to follow him. Fifteen feet away from the Titanus, his right foot acted as a brake.

"Gae Bolg!" His right hand thrust the spear and it extended towards the Titanus.

The Titanus met the spear and slammed its right-hand sword at it. The two clashed and the force blew the flooring away.

However, the impossible happened. It was as if something had changed. The spear continued and met the yellow barrier.

The barrier's struggle against the unstoppable spear was quick. Certainly, the barrier was strong, but the Titanus's main defense was its armor, not the barrier. The sword was also made similarly to the armor. With the barrier weaker than the sword, the spear broke through and punctured the monster.

The insides of the Titanus erupted as iron thorns pierced the monster. The body broke down and crumbled into a heap of steel.

Everyone held their breath as the spear and thorns disappeared into motes of blue light.

However, the silence was broken by a woman gone mad.

Cornelia began to shriek. "How?! How did you destroy the Titanus! It should have been impossible to destroy! No weapon other than a Heroes' Relic would have been able to deal actual damage to it, much less destroy it!" As she continued to throw a tantrum at the boy, a sword made of wood appeared nearby her and shot towards her forehead. The hit instantly knocked her out. The swords behind her, ones that pierced her shadow, disappeared as she fell to the ground.

As Lambert watched on, he saw that Agilulf's attention wasn't at Cornelia, but at the table in the back of the dungeon chamber. Patricia's breath hitched as she realized who it was. She ran forward, getting ready to use whatever spell she needed to heal Hapi.

The noise woke Hapi up. Her body still hurt from all the tests and abuse that Cornelia gave the other day. She knew she had bruises near her chest from all the experiments Cornelia had done to find out if her lungs were anything special.

'Idiot, they weren't special. They're just regular lungs. As if beating them would tell her anything about my Crest.'

Her legs, toes, fingers, and ears felt numb from the cold. She could barely feel them.

She blearily looked around, tilting her head to the side, and saw someone approach her. Behind him was the Titanus Cornelia held in the dungeon. The Titanus was wrecked beyond repair.

Further back, Hapi saw a second person rushing towards her.

'Patricia? What are you doing here?'

As she wondered about Patricia, the first person arrived by her side. That first person turned out to be a boy. He was caked in dried blood and his two eyes, a golden left and gray right, shone intensely. She looked back at him and saw the biggest smile she had ever since.

"Don't worry, you're safe now." He held his right hand above her, his palm facing down towards her chest, and then moved it high, higher than his head.

"Trace, On." Suddenly, electricity moved around his body, and motes of light gathered right underneath his palm. A golden sheathe appeared, lined with blue accents, meeting down the bottom into an X. The sheathe glowed and lit the immediate area.

Hapi felt so warm despite resting atop a stone table. The boy slowly pushed his hand downwards and the sheathe sank into her. She tensed, but the boy held her hand.

"It'll be ok, don't worry. I told you, you're safe now," he reassured her.

Hapi felt at peace and closed her eyes as tears fell from her cheeks and the sides of her head to the table.

The boy's words felt reassuring to her ears. As she fell into sleep, her breathing became deeper and evened out. Her chest didn't hurt as much anymore, and she began to feel her whole body warm-up. She felt electricity prick through her body as the feeling of her ears, toes, and fingers came back to her.

A hand went underneath her head and her knees. She opened her eyes slightly and saw that it was him who was carrying her. He still had his smile on his face.

That smile was nothing like Cornelia's. Yes, hers was happy too, but it made Hapi's skin crawl every time she saw it. The malicious glint, the slight sneer.

This smile? It felt so genuine, and when it was targeted at her, she felt happy too. It felt good.

'I could get used to this.'

Careful not to sigh, she leaned towards the boy as her fingers tried to cling to his armor.

Sleep never felt this good before.

Author's Notes:

I tried my best to make it look like the NPs were broken as all hell, which they should be, while sticking to canon.

Gae Bolg, in my fic, can kill these metal Titanus bots because all monsters made by Agartha runs using Artificial Crest Stones. These Crest Stones act as a heart for these monsters, and even for the Agarthans. Kronya's heart was taken by Solon in that chapter where Sothis and Byleth combine.

And yes, I know Avalon only works with Saber around, but hear me out. Being around Saber charges Avalon like a battery. It's how Kiritsugu healed Shirou in F/Z when Saber was no longer around. Avalon was charged, healed Shirou, and stayed inert until Shirou summoned Saber. From there, it began charging up again. In the Emiya vs Shirou fight, Saber stood and watched as the two fought in UBW. We can see Shirou's Avalon working to heal him from his wounds. Who's to say Emiya's version of Avalon wasn't charging up too, just from proximity? I say it did charge. I mean, come on, how could Emiya survive getting attacked by Gilgamesh in the Einzbern mansion? He went to his astral form, healed with Avalon, and had some Saber battery left. That's how it's going to go here. Of course, the battery is now shot and the sheathe is running empty, nada. No more Avalon.

I also tried to describe the NP usage like in the Ufotable anime, if that helps. I'm not a description guy. I like to tell what happened and let my mind make the pictures.

Edit: I've edited the name for Emiya from Sila Oruzhiya to Agilulf. Someone commented that Sila has a feminine connotation. Through the site Behind the Names, I found something that fits Agilulf. It's Germanic and comes from both agil (edge of the blade) and wulf (wolf). Germanic, from Merriam Webster, is English, German, Dutch, Afrikaans, Frisian, the Scandinavian languages, and Gothic. Dimitri and Lambert's etymology section mentions French, Egyptian, Slavic, etc. On top of that, Blaiddyd is Wolf-Lord in Welsh.

2021/02/05 Edit:

EMIYA - Emiya

Various grammar or spelling edits.

Added some description of Cornelia's castle, but I'm terrible with description.

Various formatting edits.

Changed Carnwennan to No Face May King. I felt that No Face May King would serve Emiya better here than Carnwennan since Carnwennan should be used in darkness; it wasn't meant to run through a clearing during an afternoon. No Face May King works because the castle is surrounded by a forest and the clearing is made of grass. Plus, it helped put a small exposition about an experiment that Emiya had been doing. I've also added an extra blurb about No Face May King.

2021/02/19 Edit:

As someone pointed out, it's supposed to be Majesty for both kings and emperors. I made this error because I thought Dimitri was called "Highness" in canon, even past the timeskip. However, this is wrong because Dimitri became king after the final map and Dedue calls him "Majesty".
