IV - Enchanted

"Wait, you mean you are going to marry the King of Caerleon?!" The spiky blue haired Lancer exclaimed, eyes large as saucers as he pointed a finger at the only female in the group. He blinked several times and gaped his mouth in awe, "Are you kidding me?"

Gilgamesh could only roll his eyes at the man's reaction, "Have you gone deaf or fleas has infested your ears already not to hear what she said?"

But Cu was busy reveling in surprise to even retort or do something to get even with the arrogant blonde, he stared at the blackette waiting for her affirmation.

"For the 10th time, Lancer!" Rin turned her head away, unable to meet his gaze. "I already said yes, I will goddamn marry the King that's why we are on our way there."

Cu let out a groan and sagged his shoulders in defeat, "Why oh why?!" He shouted on top of his lungs, earning attention of the villagers roaming around. "Why can't it be me?! I thought I'll get my chance why does he has to take it away?"

Archer was taken aback, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"I've always wanted a Master like Rin because she's beautiful, strong and stubborn…" Sighs "Everything that I look for in a woman and I even told you to put a couple of years on you before coming back to me." His now half lidded eyes assessed her from head to toe while thinking of his multiple reasons to be with the black haired girl.

Rin, on the other hand, is growing uncomfortable and flustered with the way he looks at her. "Hey! Don't look at me like that, I did not ask for this to happen it just did."

A vein popped on Archer's forehead, "Stop eyeing her like a buttered pole dancer!" He neared the blue haired Lancer and hit him on the back of his head to pull him out of trance.

"You are just jealous and won't admit it!"

"What did you say you bastard?!"

"Aaarrgghhh!"

The two former rival continued with their argument, lagging a bit behind as the rest of their group tried ignoring their nonsense. However, Rin could not deny that her heart beat strangely after the blue haired Lancer said that Archer was jealous, making a pale blush appear on her cheeks. Sighs.

"Tch, how unfortunate of you to be wed to a stranger, little girl." Gilgamesh scoffed, moving closer to her other side as they walked, "It'd be much better if it was me, don't you think? After all, I have everything a woman needs and you are not so bad either despite your foolishness sometimes; so I would not mind taking you as my woman." He added an arrogant smirk as he looks down at her.

"Shut up, I do not want to be marry to you either! You're the last person I'd want to be with for God's sake." Rin retorted in annoyance, what the hell is with people fussing over this damn forsaken marriage? And where did Gilgamesh get that idea from? She would not say he's ugly but God he's attitude…he's probably Lucifer from a different timeline or universe.

A heavy sigh on Rin's left which came from the tall green clad Lancer, "Will you stop making her feel uncomfortable? It's already bad that she is in this pedestal, you are just making it worse with those insane suggestions."

And probably out of all of them, Diarmuid is the only one…she could thought of as okay and not a complete psychopath with an illusion of grandiose or plain crazy.

Before Gilgamesh could make a comeback, they were stopped by a figure standing in their way, Emiya and Cu finally put an end to their bickering as they saw that the other three in front halted. There before them stood a male in snow white suit with silver lining on its sleeves, his hair was the same shade of white and it's tied in two tails behind him and what stood out among his appearance was his right arm which seems to be made of pure metallic silver.

"It's good to finally see you." The snow haired stranger said with a short bow of the head, like a butler; his eyes were a beautiful warm green that looks kind. "Although I thought it'd have been better if you requested a chariot to pick you up, Miss Rin, to avoid any inconvenience." Smiles.

Rin was a little surprised and taken aback, mostly because of how he looks and his soothing voice; this man was beautiful but in a masculine way that reminded her of an angel that came down from Heaven to announce something good. His aura was entirely different from Tobias, the weird rabbit male she met prior that day.

"Ah, it's alright." She responded in the same manner of speaking as him, "I did not encounter much of inconvenience and it was not tiring at all." She did not mention anymore that her former Servant carried her.

"Very well then, let us go now and I shall escort you to my King." The stranger raised his right artificial arm before him, gesturing her, "I am Bedivere, my lady and it's a pleasure to finally meet you."

Behind Bedivere, they saw the towering thick gray walls of the castle and unlike the village they passed by, the sky looming over it was different, darker and the snow was continuous. Emiya furrowed his eyebrows, thinking of how strange it was but more likely it has something to do with magic.

Rin was a bit hesitant, "Ah okay, nice to meet you too, Bedivere." Finally she gave her hand to him and felt it got squeezed lightly before she was pulled gently away from her group and forward to the entrance.

"What an asshole, he did not even bother acknowledging our presence." Cu grunted, following the others as they close in on the entrance.

Diarmuid's face contorted a serious look, "Be on guard everyone, this place seems to have a heavy atmosphere and odd…"

"You don't have to tell me what to do," Gilgamesh muttered, glaring at anything around them. "If worse comes to worst, I will have this so-called Kingdom taken down in a matter of seconds."

The gate was huge and black but because of the snow, it was already frosted, covered in white; automatically it swung as they come near and when all of them stepped inside it closed and locked itself.

"Welcome to the Ice Castle." Bedivere said, still holding Rin's hand.

Inside his private office, Arthur stood near the translucent window, clad in a handsome pale royal blue suit while his gem green eyes watched the group of people who entered his castle; his handsome face remained void of any emotions.

A knock on the door followed by the sound of it being opened but he made no move of turning, "Father, your bride is here and she looks pretty tempting."

"Are you prepared, Mordred?" He asked in a clip tone, still unmoving.

Mordred scratched the back of her head without ruining the pony tail she styled it to, "Yeah and honestly suits are preferable than those nasty itchy and heavy dresses I wore years ago," She smoothened the front of her white and red pantsuit, "This one really looks good on me, and I can move properly too." She placed both hands in her pocket, "What the hell are we going to do with her company? We don't have any need for them, do we?"

Arthur turned on his heel and met his son's eyes, "If you're up for a thrill tonight, son, you might just get it so that's what they will be here for."

A wide, devious smile on Mordred's face, "Well who am I to refuse such thing, father? I look forward to it, definitely."

The two stepped out of the room side by side, while Arthur looks icy and serious, his son was the contrary but malice was evident on Mordred's smile and her eyes are gleaming with mischief.

Ice Castle was enchanted but unlike those fairy tales she read when she was young and movies that she watched; this was nothing like the magical kingdoms with sparkling lights, colorful pixies, flowers and cheery vibes, no, it looks so frozen inside and out. There was no other color but white, the temperature never changed from Fahrenheit. Rin's eyes roamed around the areas and each corner, trying to see anyone but to no avail, there are no servants inside the castle and it's enveloped in silence.

They went inside another hall that has a long thick dark blue-gold carpet on the marble white floor, it spread from the open doorway until the other end where a platform was and on that platform was an empty golden throne. There were tapestries hanging on each side of the walls, sword and shield displays and a Lion symbol on each clothing and display.

"This place is so boring." Cu commented out loud, yawning.

And Rin agreed to that but did not voice anything.

"It does pale compare to other castles," Bedivere said in a polite tone, "But only because my King dislikes too much decoration or noise."

From the door on the far right corner, a tall blonde man dressed in a Knight garment showed up smiling pleasantly as he approached them.

"Good to see you again, milady."

"Tobias!" Rin said, looking him up and down, "Why are you dressed like that?"

Shrugs, "To be frank Tobias is not my name, it was an alias and I am no creature from Wonderland."

Archer was annoyed again, "So all those things you did earlier was just a crappy show?"

"If that's your term for it well…I won't oppose that but it was not done to harm anyone of you, I shall make it up to you by telling the truth." He bowed elegantly before Rin, "I am Gawain and one of the King's Knights."

"Gawain…" The blackette tested his name in her lips, "That sounds familiar, like from a story I read."

Gawain chuckled, "I don't blame you, it sounds like a name befitting a Prince eh? And you are the Princess if this is a fairytale."

Gilgamesh could only roll his eyes, "Can we get this over with you mongrels? I am losing patience and need to see how I am going to get my life back, let me see your so-called king who is lower than me and I shall have a word with him."

"I am not going to have a word with you, King of Heroes. There's no reason for me to do so, after all you are not my intention." A cold, smooth voice rang in the throne room; and in the corner behind the throne appeared a tall royal man with blonde hair and green eyes followed by a woman in a suit who share some of his features. Both has an air of power and regal in them that are very obv ious, as if anyone who'll dare go against them will be taken down without any effort at all.

The boyish woman beside the King crossed her arms over her chest, "What an arrogant bastard." Her green eyes glared daggers at Gilgamesh, "Talking about father that way, you are an ass."

"I am Arthur Pendragon, King of Caerleon." He introduced himself, head held high and eyes unblinking that moment, "I am your husband-to-be, Rin Tohsaka."

Meanwhile in a different plane of existence, Thaddeus watched Rin and the others from a huge floating blue orb in a vast endless white; a solemn look on his face as the scenes continue to unfold before him.

"Such trouble…" He sighed, "I do not understand why you will put them through such conflicted situation."

"Do not feel bad, Thaddeus, it was entertaining to be honest, don't you think?" A tall white haired man materialized from a handful of flower petals, holding a long wooden staff on his right hand and as he walks closer, flower petals continue to appear and float around him. "Besides, I cannot say no to a dear friend."

"You are conceded Arthur's request without considering the involvement of others, this put many universe in chaos, Merlin."

Merlin pouted childishly, "But normal is too boring, it's not bad to add some twists sometimes and this is a good way to escape all gruesome thoughts of Holy Grail war and whatnot."

Thaddeus shook his head, "You are impossible, I can't believe I allowed myself to be part of this scheme. If Rin gets hurt because of this madness I swear I will not forgive you. She's already living okay in her world where she's in London with that Shirou guy and I hard to take her from that."

"It's too early to assume such thing, my brother, you'll be surprise…just wait and see."

(Pardon me if I made Mordred like that, I really like her as boyish and rough, I actually do not view her much as a female in the game even the series xD anyway I plan on putting characters from Fate/Grand Order since I think it'll be cool! I want to do a multipairing with Rin and make her have moments with other guys-hahahaha! If you have any suggestions or thoughts about Rin x anyone you like, feel free to let me know. I'll see you next time, Ciao!)
