CHAPTER 6

In an ancient castle, a white-haired young girl was sitting at the edge of the balcony with her red eyes staring at the horizon. The girl is none other than the head of the Einzbern family, Lea von Einzbern. Although she's only 14 years old, she's already stronger than any other ordinary magus at her age due to the Einzbern lineage.

Watching the Sun sets, she smiled as she thought of what's about to come.

"Milady, you shouldn't sit there, it's dangerous," Mia said.

Mia is a maid of the Einzbern's, this is despite the fact that her mother was Lea's mother's best friend.

"I've told countless time to not call me 'Milady'. You are a relative you know," Lea said.

Lea once told Mia to stop being her maid but she refused as she like serving Lea more than anything else. Mia is also a Magus, a talented one as well.

"But that's what I prefer calling you, Milady," Mia replied,

'She's so stubborn,' Lea thought.

"Sigh, well are the preparations ready?" Lea asked

"Yes, Milady. We are waiting for you to begin," Mia replied

"Well, let's go then," they walk to the chapel in the castle, the castle was rather empty as Lea is the only one left of the Einzbern family and on her mother's command, all the homunculus production have been stopped thus Lea is considered the last of the Einzbern. They arrived at the chapel as the other two maids, Reisz and Martha were standing by outside the entrance. Upon entering, they walked towards the altar. There, a summoning circle was drawn on the altar and in the middle of the summoning circle there's a pendant which was given to Lea by her mother. It was considered to be a relic of the Einzbern.

"Milady, the relic is not related to any Heroic Spirits. So if I may ask, who do you think it will summon?"

"I don't know, but we won't know until we try do we. We might end up summoning Lady Justeaze" Lea said with a grin.

Lea crouched down and focused on channelling her mana to the summoning circle. She was about to begin the chant when suddenly, the circle was lighting up brightly on its own.

"Milady! Step back!" Mia shouted while pulling Lea away from the summoning circle. The light shone brighter and red sparks were dancing around the circle.

After what seemed like an eternity, it stopped. Upon the altar, they could see a figure of a female standing at the centre of the circle, the sparks were dancing around her and the wind was blowing softly around her.

"I've never thought I'll be summoned. Ah, well but at least…" she turned around revealing her orange eyes that looked like they were shining.

"My Master is you, Lea," she said with her usual devilish grin

"Mo… mother," Lea was stunned, standing there was her mother, she looked so much younger that she could even be at the same age with her. She was wearing a short red shirt which revealed her stomach, a tight shorts and a black coat, her hair was tied neatly into a bun.

"Ah, well, you've grown, Lea." She said calmly and she looked over at Mia who was frozen in shock.

"Well, if it isn't Miyu's daughter. I see my daughter took good care of you,"

"Yes, she did, Lady Kuro," she walked down towards her daughter and there were a few tears coming from Lea's eyes.

"Now, now. There's a no need to cry, okay?" she said with a smile as she wiped Lea's tears.

"I'm sorry, mother," Lea said finally regaining herself back. Kuro look at the altar and saw the pendant. She picked it up and stared at it with a curious look.

"So, you use this to summon me. Interesting…"

"We didn't actually think it'll summon anyone; we don't even know who will come out even if it works,"

"Why didn't you use the medium that were used to summon Beserker? I believe that the Relic is still in the vault. He's much more reliable,"

Lea flashed a wry smile as Mia looked down.

"Well, the thing is Mia accidentally summoned Beserker. It wasn't her fault, mother," Lea said, trying to defend Mia.

"Sigh, it's okay. At least he's under someone trustable," she said as she headed for the door.

"Well let's go. We must return to where all this began,"

Lea, Mia and Kuro arrived at the airport. Kuro had changed her clothes into a black T-shirt and short pants. She untied her bun to let her hair flow out. Mia tagged along despite Lea's objection as Lea's mother had her say in the matter. They got into a cab and headed for Fuyuki. Despite their detailed planning. Little did they know the Master that was lurking behind them.

CHAPTER 7

"Ah, Master, let's play again!" Nero said while pulling my hand.

"Come on Nero, I'm tired already!" I said as I've played three hours straight of the PlayStation games with her, that's a record. After Nero introduced herself as my second Servant, Shiina had a call from someone and she told me to go home as I already had two strong Servants who could protect me.

'Who called her anyway? It sounded pretty serious,' I thought to myself when I was leaving her house.

"Alright fine! I'll play with you after I take my bath, in the meantime…here," I said turning on the TV "You could just watch this,"

"Wow! Is this a magical box that can see everything?" Nero asked while touching the TV.

"You don't know what this is? I thought all the Servants have knowledge over this world," I asked her since all the Servants were summoned here with knowledge about this world from the Throne of Heroes.

"We do have knowledge of this world, but we only have knowledge of the things we need to know," she replied.

"Well, this is a TV, you can watch stuff like movies here. It's nothing magical," I explained to her but she was already sitting on the couch staring at the TV

"Hmm? Did you say something?" she asked me. 'This spoiled emperor…' I thought to myself.

"Umm, never mind. I'm going to take my bath now," I said to her but she just too glued to the TV to hear me.

I went upstairs and grabbed my towel. I looked at the door of the room where Jeanne is. I was still grinning on the fact that I summoned a Ruler class servant but I remembered something about being the Master of a Ruler class that there was something important but I forgot all about it.

I walked into the bathroom and started to take off my clothes. As I turned around, I saw Jeanne lying in the tub with her eyes closed and…naked!

'Ah, shit. She didn't notice me yet I should go out quietly' but as soon as I thought of that, Jeanne open her eyes and saw me.

"Ah! Master, what are you doing in here!" Jeanne screamed as she covers herself.

"Uh, I thought there's no one in here and…err… I thought you were in your room since the door is closed," I blurted out as I tried to lay my eyes elsewhere.

"Well, if you want to see Master, I don't mind showing it if it's you," Jeanne said, blushing brightly.

"No! I wasn't! I…uh…I'll go out! So please enjoy your bath!" I said as I went out of the bathroom and slammed the door behind me.

'Sigh, what the heck? What kind of luck is this?!'

"Master? I heard someone screaming so I thought-" Nero said while walking up the stairs. She was frozen on the spot when she saw me.

'Crap, I'm still naked' I thought as I wondered how my day could get any worse.

"You know Master, I understand that you want to do it but why is it Jeanne first and not me? Am I not of your liking?" Nero asked with a pouting expression.

"Huh? What are you-" I was wondering what she was talking about.

"It wasn't like that!" I exclaimed as I realized what it was.

"Yea, right," she said waving me off "Anyway, Shiina called in and she said 'I need you to come back here ASAP'" she said while mimicking Shiina's voice.

"You don't have to mimic her you know" I said when suddenly the bathroom door opened and there was Jeanne wearing nothing but a towel and she her face was still bright red.

"Umm, Master, if I may ask…do you have any clothes I could wear? My clothes are all wet…" she

asked me, trying to look elsewhere.

"Well, I'm not sure, but I thought you can make your own clothes?" I asked, since Servants are usually able to create clothes out of mana.

"I could, but it will be a waste of mana…" Jeanne replied and then I realized what I had forgotten. Unlike other class, the Ruler class have their own mana thus even though after the death of their Master, they are able to stay on this world due to their own mana.

"I think I have it!" I said as I walked quickly into my room. I came out moments later and with a shirt, short skirt and…underwear.

"Ah, here," I said handing them to Jeanne.

"Hmm? Master, how did you have female's clothes and you even have a female underwear too," Nero asked with her a smug expression.

"It's the clothes that my little sister's clothes as she sometimes stayed over!" I said in my defence.

"I'll go and get changed," Jeanne said as she entered the room and closed the door.

The awkwardness was still in the air for a while after that.

"Pervert," Nero said.
