"London?", Fenice asked as she placed the dishes into the sink.
"Yeah, there is someone I have to see and I also want us to go shopping for you and it will be a great chance to see the city"
"I would love to see the city master but I do not need clothes. As you can see, I can materialize mine", she said and motioned for the sport bra and shorts she wore.
"Ok then. But I would go either way and it will be nice to just go window shopping you know. You might even detect another master", Annasviel replied as she exited the kitchen and headed towards her room.
By the moment Fenice finished washing the dishes and kitchenware she used, Annasviel was dressed in her normal, public attire.
Light blue jeans and a dark maroon jacket with white fur around the hood. Beneath she wore a light pink and white shirt and the whole outfit was complete with a pair of dark maroon converse. Her white hair where half up in a ponytail while the rest fell down her back and stopped a little above her butt.
"You should get dressed too", she said to her servant who nodded before red aura in flames like shape surround her body.
She was now dressed in tight dark blue ripped jeans and a blood red sleeveless crop that stopped above her belly button. A black long coat stopped at knee length and her feet were now covered by black army styled boots. Last thing, her fiery red hair were in a French braid that started at beginning of her head and continued all the way until her waist with a few short strands framing nicely her pale complexions.
Annasviel had to admit that her servant was a hot one and she knew that she would catch the eyes of many men on their trip to London. A part of her was also jealous since she was often found weird or creepy due to her homunculus looks.
"Ok. I am ready", Fenice said and this time she was the one to snap back to the reality her master.
"Let's go then", the white haired woman said as she walked towards the big gate like wooden doors of the castle and a gentle breeze welcomed her. The greengarden that surrounded the castle was filled with white flowers while birds were flying from the few trees that were planted.
She walked the paved path that lead to the iron gates a few feet away were a black motorcycle was parked.
"Annasviel, no offence but I think you are too young to drive", Fenice said as she walked behind her master, her long strides easily covering the distance between them.
"I may not look like it but I am becoming 20 this year but my homunculus looks make me look quite younger", she started and stopped in front of the motorcycle and grabbed one of the two black helmets. "However, I take advantage of it since my opponent underestimate me all the time and drop their guards. To finish it, you are going to drive"
"Me?", the taller woman asked as she was handed the black helmet.
"Yeah, you said that the grail gives you all the information you need. Plus, I think you are going to like it. Now come on", the master said, wore the helmet and motioned for her to climb on the motorcycle.
Fenice wore the helmet and climbed the strange to her vesicle so before having the shorter female to join her by sitting behind her and wrapping her hands around her tanned stomach.
"I don't know the road to London though"
"Just follow the signs and I will help you where you want", she spoke beneath the helmet, her voice altered by it.
"Ok Annasviel", The Dragon Queen said as the engine roared to life and in seconds, she found herself speeding down the small road.
The whole ride was around 3 hours and Fenice was thankful her master had woken up early enough. The Giant clock of London strike 12 by the time they entered the city.
She was already thrilled and with high adrenaline by the ride, indeed enjoying it but all that quickly passed away as they entered the city. Many tall building, stores high, were occupying almost the whole city while dozens of cars, motorcycles and double decker buses were filling the street.
She was thankful she was summoned into the era of advanced technology where the cars were all electric and didn't pollute the environment and the type of vesicles was made to be quieter.
The pavewalks were also filled with people who were either doing their walk, going to their job or were simple tourist to the Capital City of United Kingdom.
She was not used to so many people or so many vesicles and all that made the whole situation quite asphyxiating for her but kept her calm and followed her master's orders towards the center of the city.
She stopped the motorcycle in front of an old fashioned building where Fenice could sense a lot of mage signatures that made her uneasy. She parked into one of the many special spots and killed the engine
"Don't worry. This is the ClockTower; one of the main bases of Mage Association. I just have to file the successful summoning and give a report", Annasviel said as she took off her helmet and fixed her hair.
"Then I am coming with you", Fenice said as she also took off her helmet and fixed her braid.
"You can't. No servant allowed, that's the rule but don't worry. I will be back very soon", the young woman said as she gave her the helmet and jogged inside the building.
Fenice watched her going before leaving out a sigh and leaned on the motorcycle, her helmet on top of the leather black seat while the other was hanged around her lower arm. Many people passed by and quite a few stared, mostly men who some had the courage to wolf whistle at her.
However, the servant ignored all of them and held her head high and her eyes glues on the entrance of the Watch Tower; similar to a dog who would wait for its owner.
Suddenly, the golden eyes seemed to glow for a second as her senses warned her of a close by danger. On cue, she felt a presence behind her and someone whispering to her still injured ear.
"My, my…. You look even more dashing dressed like that"
By instinct and by recognizing the husky, cocky voice; Fenice turned her body at inhumane speed and brought the helmed with force to strike the person behind her only for a hand to catch the helmet with ease.
"Gilgamesh", she said through greeted teeth as her golden hues connected with blood red ones.
"Hello pet", he said with the same cocky smirk he had the other night. "How is the ear?", he asked and a low growl escaped her lips as her ear burned from the memory of him biting it.
"Better but not thanks to you", she said as her eyes glared with hatred but the king of heroes stayed unfazed but rather mesmerized by the flames that were seemed to dance in them.
"Didn't learn anything from yesterday pet? Is this how you are going to address your king?"
Before Fenice could say a sarcastic comeback or let her fists do the talking for her, two familiar signatures approached them.
"Everything alright Rider?", Annasviel asked as she and Julius walked towards them.
