An elder maid name Kaine enters the room.

"Myui-sama there are people here that wanted to see you."

"Eh?" Myui tilted her head in confuse.

Berserker felt something was not right. After saving the four from the beast she brought them to her special place. The Knights were astonish when they arrive at the hidden garden. It was like a sea of colors while the moon shines above them. Berserker pointed them at a carriage on the edge of the garden. When they check it the thing was filled with supplies and merchandises. They found medicine and and bandages to patch them up. They believe it belongs to the merchant who started the rumor. Fleeing after he witness Berserker dumping bandits on the middle of the road. But the young girl was nice even if she was weird. She doesn't speak that much only making grunting noise if she's angry. Or clicking her tongue for being annoyed. Berserker has her quirks but it fits her so well.

The next morning the four woke up early to continue their journey. They ask Berserker if she wants to come with them to thank her. She shake her rejecting their offer then open her mouth to speak while pointing back to the garden.

"Home." She said making them realise the garden was something special to her if she treat it as a home.

Pina wanted to honor this young woman for saving her life and even ask her to join her fellow Knights. She could offer something for her to accept but she couldn't think of anything. She tried asking the other but nothing came up. The girl was a complete mystery. They don't know anything about her but only one which is her love for flowers.

While they were making a debate on how to convince her Grey decided to check the main road if someone stop by at the destroyed camp.

Berserker was staring toward west. She felt a connection toward that direction last night. Until now she could feel a small hint of her own. But it wasn't the only thing she felt. A large force of evil intent was heading toward west.

"Berserker is their something wrong?" Ask Pina in concern. She notice the young girl was staring from afar for a while.

"Danger."

"Ha?" Confusing Pina. Berserker then points toward west making Pina look puzzle. She look to the direction then observe the scenery. About a couple of miles Dumas mountain range can be seen from here and Berserker was pointing at the left side of it. For a second she couldn't figure out what she was telling or showing her.. But she then realise what was at the other end of that mountain.

"The Town of Italica is just at the other end of that mountain. Is that are you telling me?"Pina become worry.

"Hmp." Berserker nod surprising the others. "Bad ... Feeling."

Pina did not want to believe that the town of Italica is in danger. Could berserker sense magic in the air or a person from afar? While the princess was in thinking deeply Grey suddenly came back running.

"Pina-sama I've encountered a messenger from the Town of Italica. He was heading towards the capital asking for help. The town is being attack by bandits."

The princess eyes turn horror. Berserker may have sense a horde of bandits that may attack the town right now. It would take a day before reinforcement will arrive. Pina then decided.

"Berserker I know you don't want to leave your home. But please we need to ask you to help us for this one." She plead to her.

Again the young woman made a thinking pose. Nodding then she points at the field.

"Protect." She said.

Pina understood quickly what she ment.

"I understand." Placing her right hand on her upper left chest she made a vow.

"I Princess Pina Co Lada promise to protect this sacred place from anyone who dares to harm it."

Berserker gave her a warm beautiful smile which made the two men blush.

"We leave now! Unload the carriage so the horses can pull us faster!" She order her Knights. They only have four horses and adding an extra passenger could slow them down. They strap all four of them in carriage while bringing only the important and useful items.

Berserker pick a white rose to bring it with her.

"Berserker we need to go." Hamilton told her.

She made one final look at the garden before leaving her home.

Meanwhile back in Italica

Current Myui is nervously facing a group of 5 people wearing strange but familiar clothes. The guards who brought them here said they were searching for the one in charge of Italica and were told they have something important to ask.

"Hopefully this people are here for good purpose." She wish.

They look kind enough except the girl with blond hair with green eyes because she is showing an irritate face while glaring at her. It was scary to look at.

Then the pink head spoke "Oi Saber! Don't scare her!."

"Tsk why are we facing a kid?"

Myui couldn't understand the blonde girl but can tell she was not happy to see her.

"I think she's the one we're looking for." Kojiro told Saber.

"Shush be quite you two." Ruler shush the both of them.

"Ehem.. Good day to you young lady! I am Rider and we are travelers from a far away land." Astolfo lied while hiding his name.

"I-I'm Myui Formal H-Head of the Formal Clan."she introduce herself nervously.

"My companions can't speak yet the language here so I'll be the one who will interprets our conversation."

Myui nod showing she understands. "What can i do for you travelers?"

"We would like to ask informations about this land." He ask.

The young girl raise her eyebrow in confuse. This people only wants something simple.

"Just information?"

Rider ask the others if they needed something else. After a brief moment they decide.

"Yep for now we only need the knowledge of this kingdom."

"Is there something you could offer in exchange for this information?" She could ask them to help her with the bandits terrorizing the town. They carry swords while giving off an aura of a knight. What they request is easy to get but the only place here that have books was in the mansions library.

"Is there something particular you want Lady Myui?" Ask Rider.

"Actually we ha-" but she was cut off because the door shut open while a guard storms in the room with dreadful face.

"Lady Myui an army of bandits are heading towards us!"

Shocking Myui and Rider while others couldn't understand what is happening. Rider translate immediately what the guard said making them look furious. Myui is now scared for the people of Italica. She couldn't think of a plan how to command the soldiers to defend the town. Her worried state wasn't unnoticed by the five. Rider then told her.

"Lady Myui do not worry. We can provide assistance dealing with the bandits." Giving her a grin.

"What? But why?" Tilting her hair while having a question mark in her face. They might look strong but facing an army is something else. Rider laugh while looking at her confuse state. Making Myui feel awkward.

"We may have no connection with this place but we can't just let those bandits destroy the lives of innocent so trust us. We want to help protect this Town." The other where smiling showing confidence. Myui couldn't understand but to admire them. They show good intent for the towns safety and she couldn't say no for their offer. This people are kind to help others in need.

"T-thank you." She tried not to cry but tears are dropping from her eyes. Rider pats her head to comfort her while chuckling.

"Sigh why are we doing this mission again?" Ask Saber.

"To protect our new home." Both Sieg and Ruler said.

"For the adventure !" Rider and Kojiro cheers.

"I thought you would say money?" Mordred ask Kojiro. "That's just a bonus." While scratching her cheeks earning him a doubtful look from the rest.

Meanwhile

A hundred meters away from Italica the army of bandits were getting close. Men with swords, spears, axes, bows and arrows charging towards the town with rage on their face. The guards close every entrance while they prepare to defend the town.

Once the bandits got close enough the guards fire arrows to kill or disable the enemy. Some hit but other gain only a scratch or two. The bandits didn't care for their fallen brethren while they recklessly charge forward.

The enemy have reach the wall and now we're trying to break the doors open or climb the walls with wooden ladders. They tried only to be hit by an arrow In the head or body. Others that have reach the top got stab by a sword or spear killing them.

The guards are having hard time with their numbers. Some of them died from stray arrows fired by the bandits. It wasn't looking good.

"Do not let them get inside!" One of the guards said but died when a bandit stab him with a spear from behind.

The enemy have reach the walls and are now attacking the guards. They kill without mercy with a sadistic expression.

Suddenly a screech from above alerting all of them halting their attack. In the sky a figure could be seen flying under the clouds. The screech was loud that could be heard by the people inside the town. Then the figure dive towards to the army. The bandits notice it was beast that looks like an eagle. And someone was riding it while holding a lance.

"Trap of Argalia!"

With a shout the figure speed up while shining brightly leaving an image of a shorting star. It pass outside the edge of the wall so fast leaving a shockwave of air. Bandit were sent flying from the impact. Many of them died getting hit by edge of the lance held by the rider while others lost limbs and now screaming in pain.

Back on the walls the guard were speechless and couldn't determine what happen. The bandits up top are confuse and now scared after witnessing their allies died easily.

"Don't just stand their in shock! If we open the g-" a bandit tried to command them but couldn't finish because something shot him in the head.

"What th-" another one got hit by the unknown force making a small hole in his now bleeding chest. Soon many more of them fell without knowing who is attacking them.

On top of a tower near the center of the town. Kojiro was peaking through the scope of his sniper rifle. It was a Type 97 sniper rifle which was his favorite.

"Impressive. Your accurancy is good. Not only you could be an Assassin but also an Archer if you become a Heroic Spirit." Mordred was beside him eating a sandwich Kojiro made a while ago.

"Hmm haaa... Why are you not helping?"

"Rider can handle them alone and I want to spend time with my Wife." She grabs another sandwich from his pack.

"What about Sieg and Jeanne?" He ask.

"They're at the gate making sure the people are safe inside." She then grabs another one making Kojiro sweatdrop.

"Sigh atleast save some for me."

"Hehe sure sure." She gave her a cheeky grin.

Back at the battle the bandit leader was frustrated from the lost of men. They didn't expect the town to have a strong individual protecting them. More than half of them are dead while the others are starting to feel scared.

"Grr everyone retreat!" He commands his troops. They follow to save their own lives.

Meanwhile at the edge of the forest

"Pina-sama I see smoke ahead!" Norma shouted alerting the others inside the carriage. They have travel for a few hours in the forest. Their injuries from last night were now healed thanks to the medicine they found. They where now near the Town and smoke can be seen from their position. Hamilton notice an army of men where fleeing away from the scene.

"There are men running away from the town Pina-sama!" She pointed out at the army. Confusing the others.

"What's going on?!"

Suddenly Berserker jump off the carriage then dash towards the army with anger on her face.

"Berserker?!" They tried to call her but she was fast.

Berserker ignore their call and run faster. I few meter away the army notice the young women with a giant mace in hand. Confuse from her appearance they couldnt react quickly when she jump high in the air heading towards the center of them. She grip the mace in her hands then swing in it with all her might.

"GRRHAAAA!" She smash her mace in the ground with such force making a large crater. The bandits didn't know what hit them. A lot of them went flying from the force. Crashing to the ground breaking their bones. Some who where safe from afar could only watch in fear.

Berserker wasn't done yet and leaps forward to the closes bandit swing her mace with ease. The unlucky bandit body went flying from the impact of her mace. Another tried to avenge his comrades and tried to stab her at the side. Before his blade reach its target Berserker suddenly grab his face then smash his head to the ground killing him.

THUG

An arrow hit her in the shoulder but she didn't react. Now she was even more mad. She remove the arrow then slowly turn towards the one who shot her with deadly glare. She watch as the man with a bow legs shake then fall to his knee. Raising her mace she charge it with her power creating sparks of green light. Bring it down again smashing to the ground. A bolt of lightning shot up from her mace to the sky. The clouds around gather on top of them all while it turns dark. Lightning starts to rain down the army killing almost all of them.

Once the sky clear up the field was visible to all. Burnt bodies of men scatter around the field. Only few survive but they could only look in horror around them.

"Hmmp." Berserker hands on her hips while pouting.

Pina and her knight jaw where hanging while eyes are open like saucers.

"What just happen?"

A few minutes ago

Back in Italica people were cheering seeing the enemies where fleeing. The guards are now resting from the battle. Kojiro and Mordred went down to meet with Sieg and Ruler. Astolfo was still flying in sky while he surveillance the area. Suddenly the clouds turn dark then bolts of lightning start to strike down the field outside Italica. Sieg felt something familiar while it was happening. Rider landed near them and also felt the familiar power from that. Saber wasn't happy and she may know why.

They open the gates once the clouds clear up. To their surprise someone they know was walking towards them.

"Fran-chan?!" A shock Astolfo said making Berserker look annoyed. His face turns into a smile then he starts to run toward Berserker with open arms.

"Fran-chan!" Berserker step back with a sweatdrop. Rider embrace her and she couldn't react quickly to dodge. She let her pamper her like a child knowing he wouldn't quit once he started.

"Ow its you." Saber said. Berserker frown. She really didn't like Saber of Red after she was stab by her sword. But her attention was taken when she saw Sieg staring at her. She felt a connect, a part of her inside of him. Grabbing Astolfo then toss her away like a sack of potato. She walks forward toward the confuse homuculus. Now she was in front of him staring at his eyes with a curious look. She reach for his face touching his cheeks gently. Surprisingly she spoke a word.

"Mate"
