I hadn't exactly stayed celibate for the last seven years, but it had been a while since my last sexual-encounter.

Humanity in this Universe was better in every ways that mattered- their physical capabilities, their appearances- it was as if somebody took a look at the hairless apes of my previous Life and decided to tune every Stats up by a dozen points, which meant the women here were either a solid ten, or an unwanted slag- their words, not mine.

As many might have guessed, when somebody's faced with that sort of etherealbeauty on a daily basis, they slowly began to become… Desensitized. All which remained of my past Life were vague feelings and at times an odd sense of familiarity towards things I had never interacted with before- locations- names that'd make me turn my head at the mentions of. It's why I was certain there was a time when I would readily fuck any girl willing to throw themselves at me.

Perhaps it was the changes in values, or maybe it's the abundance of women I had gained access to since, but one-night stands didn't interest me any longer… Although Rin and Shiro were both stunningly gorgeous in their own rights, they were not ten- at least not by this Earth's standards, yet the passion in their gazes drew me in- hypnotized me in ways the few friends I had couldn't.

I didn't just want to love them,

I wanted to dominatethem- to mark them- to make them forget the existences of other men entirely,

For the two to announce to the whole World they were mine through the sounds of throaty moans I so craved.

And as I watched the two girls writhe in pleasure, a sick sense of satisfaction crept into my mind- beckoning me to give in, to take my tool, jam it up whichever holes available to me and mold them to my shape. It took everything out of me just to resist the urge- not because I did not wish to act on the impulse, but because of the sheer tightness of their entrances as the muscles clamped down on my fingers- refusing to loosen.

It's to the point I feared the blood-circulation to my digits would be cut off entirely. "You are too tense."

"An- Aaahh~ And whose fault- is that, you idiot?"

Unlike from Shiro- who just took everything I threw her way like a champ, pushing past the initial shyness as we hungrily feasted on each other's lips- Rin was unexpectedly a lot more embarrassed- evident by the constant chatters she appeared compelled to insert before and after every moan that would unwittingly escape her clenched teeth… It only made me want to break her more- To see her face twist and hear her mewl like a kitten- drowned in an ocean of pleasures.

Lightly, I–

* Slap

Tapped Rin's ass- smiling in amusement as the tsundere jumped from the impact- her limbs going tout, straining against the zip-ties holding them both in place- and her breasts bounced. The resentful glare she sent me moments after was without heat, yet simultaneously… Hotter- much hotter than usual in fact. Such defiance! It made my heart dance with joy. "This- This is our first-time! Can't- Uhmmm~ Can't you be a bit gentler?!"

I glanced towards the restrained Tohsaka- chuckling throatily as my eyes landed on her body- her modesty covered up by naught but a thin, albeit expensive red dress. "I think there are better uses for that mouth of hers… What do you think, Shiro-tan?" The Heroine did not bother to answer- caught up in the waves of pleasures I had forced upon her. Or maybe she did? And her response was just unfortunately lost amongst all that whimpers she was letting loose?

"Le- Leo! Don't you dare–?!" Not a wasted movement could be discovered as I expertly maneuvered the tsundere so her face's mere inches away from my crotch. To my complete surprise, she didn't even try to fight back- Hell, I evenheard the small, almost excited hitch in her tone while aligning her face with my cock. Fingers clutching her jaws, I guided Rin to my zipper meticulously- taunting. "Why don't you make yourself useful and… Accompany my tool? He's getting quite lonely down here."

"How–" She swallowed thickly. "– How am I supposed to do that with my hands tied behind my back, idiot?!"

The faux offense Rin tried to project in her voice was absolutely adorable really.

Still, I kept in character- playing the role of a villain perfectly, rolling my eyes as I responded teasingly. "How? Obviously with your mouth, dummy."

Face going slack- skin turning a pinkish hue, the tsundere yelped. "I'm not unreasonable… I realize unbuttoning my pants might prove to be somewhat of a challenge- given state you're in. So–"

Slowly, I popped open the button of my pants, before gesturing for Rin to unzip the rest.

Was this too demeaning for an inexperienced virgin to handle? Perhaps.

Was it fun seeing how far I could push her limits? Oh-Definitely.

Up on the desk, Shiro- who was trying desperately, rhythmically to grind against my fingers- wailed. Thus far, I had been able to fit two inside her folds, maybe this was her way to signal she's ready for a third? "Leo-senpai, it- it's sho itchy. Pleash–!"

Hmmm... My little Heroine was surprisingly slutty, who could've guessed? Well, I did not dislike this side of her, as long as she reserved this expression for me and me alone. Smiling, I softly wiggled my middle and index fingers- still buried deep inside her drooling entrance and for a moment, I could swear I saw a brief flash of jealousy on Rin's face- a look of… Hunger?- primal, needy hunger to be pleasured instead of having to pleasure someone else.

'How selfish of her.' The thought crossed my mind, disappearing as quickly as it came while Rin's contemplating- wordlessly weighing her options: Should she do as I told and relinquish complete control over the situation or not? All she needed was a slight nudge. "You like this, don't you Shiro? If you can convince Rin, I will make you feel even better."

Ah-I truly was a wicked, one of a kind man- to use their friendship against them. "R- Rin~"

Shiro muttered- moaned more like- to the tsundere, her voice full of pleas and agony. "Leo! Don't go too far!"

"If you think I'm going too far, that I'm pushing too hard–" I reached to caress her jaws, an evil grin splitting my mouth from ear-to-ear. "– Say it. Speak the magic-word out loud, and I'll stop. Scout's Honor."

"You aren't even a scout."

Rin scoffed, and for a second, I was afraid she would really say the safe-word. Instead, the tsundere leaned forth- tremblingly unzipping my pants with her teeth, swiftly getting rid of the second obstacle to her new jawbreaker- my underwear. Like a python recently freed from captivity, my tool sprung up and smacked her forehead. "I- This- It is not going to fit in my–!" Before she could finish, I yanked on her twin-tails- causing Rin to gasp at the sudden pain, and taking advantage of that, I poked the tip of my cock mercilessly into her mouth.

The tsundere yelped- the noise akin to the chimes of Heaven to my ears as I rested inside the confine of her lips- groaning when I felt her tongue hesitantly, probingly lashed at my tool. "Good job–"Encouraging her via head-pats, I gradually began to enter further, slipping down her throat as she choked and gagged. "– That is it. That's a good girl."

In an act of sheer pettiness, Rin sucked hard on my veiny tool, creating a vacuum effect as she glanced up victoriously. Her thoughts were obvious, she must think pretty highly of the little prank. Time to teach her a lesson… Tiptoeing over Rin, my throbbing cock- still lodged in her throat- slid in deeper as I lowered it by bending my knees ever-so slightly. "Uh– Uhmmm! 'EO! Gurk- Gah–!"

She's not giving me a blowie,

No, I was brutally fucking her throat like I would a fleshlight and loving every second of it.

I liked Rin- Gods be my witnesses- but sometimes the tsundere could be a real strain on my already frayed nerves. It brought me nothing besides satisfaction to see her gagging on cock. Meanwhile, Shiro's tense- shaking, fighting, crying into my mouth as a third finger entered her drenched hole. For ten minutes, I kept at it- violating Rin's mouth while exploring Shiro's.

I had lost count of how many times the little Heroine had came. Some of her orgasms had been earth-shattering- the girl's squirted juices splashing my abs and even her fellow's head. Others were a lot tamer- a result of me taking it easy on her.

"That's enough foreplay for now." Shiro's entrance had widened enough for my 'nine-inches' to fit in, plus the tsundere looked like she needed a breather lest she passed out on us… I took my sweet, sweet time to leave her mouth- aiming my cock at the Heroine's twitchy hole. "Rin helped us lube my cock, what do we say, Shiro?"

"Tha- Thank you, Rin—!" I was like an active volcano- ready to burst at a moment's notice, I jammed it in- pushing as far as I could without hurting Shiro and immediately, she wailed- my cock, having been tended to and slobbered on by Rin, easily broke Shiro's hymen. The ease in which I slid into her stood as a contradiction to what came next. "Ah- AHH~ Leo-senpai- LEO! Harder, harder pleash!"

Trying to pull out, I blinked owlishly- realizing the muscles which had greedily clamped on my tool were not letting go. It's as though her hole and womb could sense the pulsing sperms in my balls and wanted nothing more than to be knocked up. Still, knowing I was nowhere near climaxing, I used all my might to escape from the tight grip which brought the little Heroine an abrupt orgasm- the muscles of her neck and limbs flexing against the Mystic Code.

Heavy breaths tore their way out of her throat as exhaustion crept into her features, Shiro fell with a thud on my desk- her juices soaking all the paperwork, yet the Heroine didn't seem to care. "Ha… Haaaaa~" Couldn't be bothered to, I'd reckon.

To be fair, I didn't either. Just a mere minute after Shiro had climaxed, I immediately forced her into the next orgasm- this one had her eyes rolling to the back of her head and tears spilling down her cheeks as fresh juices dripped out of her wet hole. Violently, I rammed into her over and over and over again, occasionally flicking the tiny bean decorating the folds that clung to my veiny cock- seeming glued together.

Like a ragdoll, Shiro abandoned all attempts to resist and allowed waves of pleasures to crash and overwhelm her- her legs kicking uselessly in the air- looking more spent than she did after a tough fight. Feeling an invisible tension in my balls and realizing I simply could not afford to get anyone pregnant at the moment- I instantly pulled out. Prying Rin's mouth open- not that it required much efforts given the… Well, ahegao look welded on her face- I shot several grams load of cum down her gullet.

"Shiro's out for the count… Look like it's just you and I now." A wicked smile spotted on the corners of my lips as the tsundere shuddered- failing to get out of my embrace, but it was too late. "You're this wet sucking me off? Naughty, Rin. Naughty."

Holding the tsundere by the armpits, I meticulously lowered her to straddle my waist- my tool impaling that shrunken hole of hers- like a spear looking to split her in half. Through her clenched teeth, guttural moans leaked out similar to a broken faucet, ending with a groan of surprise. "Ah~ Why- Why aren't you putting it all in? Worn- Worn out?"

Rin asked cockily… This little– "Nothing of sort, I fear. I merely want to hear you beg, that's all."

"Don't- Uhmmm~! Don't be ridiculous, I'm not going to beg."

Even as we spoke and taunted each other, I didn't stop- continuously slipping in and out of her entrance, stopping just before breaking her hymen.

"Are you certain?"

Teasingly, I started to fiddle with her nipples- lolling the beads in my tongue.

Hitches turned to moans,

Moans turned to whimpers,

And whimpers turned to frustrated groans as I tormented her- denying Rin the orgasm she so deserved. "Leonishhh…! Pleaseh, I'm going to- I'm going to–"

"Please what?" I teased. "What precisely do you want me to do to you? Do you want me to stop? To pull out?"

Blowing at her ear, I smirked- whispering like the Snake which tempted Adam and Eve. "Or do you want me to fuck you? To breed you? To make you a mewling, slobbering slut? I am a pretty slow guy, I won't get it if you don't say it outright." Whether Rin knew it or not, the glare she sent me- her last act of defiance- was a lot more seductive than it's scary- what with her clenched teeth, tied- strained limbs, plus the trails of drools and cum dripping from her lips-

Her very own self-produced, natural protein milkshake.

Though, it'd appear even Rin Tohsaka's lifelong streak of stubbornness could be broken as she throatily moaned. "P- Please. Please... LEO!"

My fingers traced her jaws- purposefully smearing the mixture all over. "Please what?"

I emphasized, clutching her chin between my fingers and forcing her to look me in the eyes. "Say it, Rin. Say it or else…"

It's a bluff. There was no way I'd stop here- now- when she had so readily offered herself on a silver platter. I wanted to eat her whole- to devour everything she was and had, but… My hunger wouldn't be satiated at that. It just could not be. Dominating the flesh was easy, what I needed were her heart and mind- what I truly desired from her was obsession. "I- Please~!" Rin continued to beg- to plead, clearly unwilling to demean herself in exchange for pleasure.

"Do you want me to fuck you?"

This was as far as I could push the tsundere,

"Yesh~!"

Or it was as far as I could without making it too uncomfortable for her at least.

"That's my good girl."

Wordlessly, I willed the Mystic Code to release her and gestured at my tool.

"Ride then, sweetie."

And rode me, she did… With each movement- each jiggle of her breasts- sweats splashed on my face- salty sweats mixed with the addicting scent of sex and a taste of submission. Despite having been a virgin all her life, the way Rin did it and just kept at it vigorously almost made me confuse her for a 'lady of the night'.

Her every motions hypnotized me-

Her long, flowing brunette strands whipping left and right as her breathing grew heavier-

And her muscles- the ones inside her folds felt like the grip of a Goddess trying to milk me dry.

"Gods…" I grunted. "Rin, I'm about to–"

"Inside."

The whispered word softly poked at my eardrums as she threw her arms over my neck and legs behind my back- straddling me as the wet, soppy sounds of our privates colliding filled my Office- overlapped with moans, heavy breathings and incoherent babblings- most of which came from Rin herself. "Rin…! You are playing a dangerous game." I warned, though I had severely underestimated the tsundere's stubbornness.

My words served to do nothing but make her tighten her grip.

To further complicate matters, Rin didn't even bother slowing down, let alone stopping.

"R- Rin… Goddamnit!" Roughly pulling on her twin-tails, I slathered her neck with kisses and hickeys.

Slamming her down so hard that my cock's practically touching her womb, I growled hungrily- threateningly. "You made me do this."

Years-worth of built-up sexual frustrations exploded in her pussy, filling every nook and cranny of her womb with my fertile seeds. I knew not if it was the dry-spell I had been on for the past three months, my physiology or the sheer hotness of getting to take the virginity of a young woman as beautiful as her, but the sheer amount of cum I unleashed could only be compared to that of a Hentai Protagonist- Or Antagonist, depending on your taste.

As for Rin- like a puppet with her strings cut, the tsundere fell back- eyes rolling all the way to the back of her head- a… Pleasured smile decorating her lips. She could have- would've fallen on the floor if not for me catching her, our bodies still connected in the most intimate way known to Mankind. "Leo-senpai, Rin. You two are finally done?" From behind us, the Shiro's voice- satisfied, though tinged with exhaustion- echoed questioningly.

"Oh…" I responded- tone touched with amusement as I slowly set Rin's prone form down.

"Bold of you to presume we're done."

"Eh?" She yelped- feeling my hands clamp on her inner-thighs.

"S- Senpai! This position- it's not good!"

"Is it?" I asked cheekily, spreading her legs with my hands and turning to face the only big mirror that had somehow survived the attack on my Castle. Everything of hers was revealed- exposed- put on display. Shiro's pubes- of the same color as her fiery hair, her rapidly closing and opening asshole- as though to invite me in- and her leaking cunt. "Are you not- Aren't you done?!"

She shouted shyly,

In response, I allowed a wicked smirk to creep on my face.

"I'm not even close."

The grand Palace loomed in the distance, its ornate carvings and towering pillars casting ominous shadows over the courtyard. As Yang Tian approached, he could not help but feel a sense of awe and reverence at the spectacle before him- a spectacle built by their Ancestors and added on by later generations.

Entering the Palace, he was led through several winding hallways and up a grand- sparkling marble-staircase, finally arriving at the door of the Main Hall. With a deep breath, Tian made to push open the door and stepped inside.

Despite having been in the Hall plenty, it's as grand as ever- a testament to the power the Jie School once possessed.

With glowing Spiritual Artifacts- or Mystic Codes, as Taoists' selfish, self-destructive Western-Counterpart called them- casting a… Beckoning warmth and mystical light through the empty expanse. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings and paintings depicting Battles of Myths and Legends- of Heroes of past Ages, and statues of powerful Deities and Divine Beasts towered in the corners.

In the center of the Main Hall sat a circular table carved out of polished jade, surrounded by comfortable chairs crafted only from rarest of woods and animal hides. Fragrant tea, fruits and refreshments laid on silver trays, inviting guests to partake in the simple, yet luxurious offerings. "Are you listening to yourselves?! We can not take this lying down!"

In one corner of the room, a lone horsetail whisk floated- a symbol of the Jie School's Power and Authority right alongside Banners, Swords, and Talismans surrounding it. This was it, this was where the most important of Elders and the Sect Leader would convene to discuss matters of great importance when and if necessary.

Despite the grandeur of the Main Hall, Tian felt a sense of worry settle over him as he took in the scenary. This was no ordinary Meeting- the tension in the air- so thick it could be cut with a knife- could attest to that.

Silently, Yang Tian took his seat at the bottom of the stairs leading to the table, feeling equal parts privileged and concerned to be invited to this gathering. As the gazes of the Elders and Sect Leader land on him, the Prodigy instantly knew something was wrong- something must have happened, else why would the higher-ups of the famous Jie School gather otherwise? In fact, them seemed to be quarrelling too. "Sect Leader, Elders…"

He cupped his hands, back slightly bowed to show his respect and began. "Yang Tian, 17th Generation Core Disciple greet you. I dare not question your decisions, but may I know why I have been summoned?" His Master- the Fifth Elder called, visibly upset. "Tian'er, tell us… If someone murders one of ours–"

"That is impossible, Master." Tian cut in resolutely. "Our Jie School might have suffered immensely in the previous Immeasurable Tribulations, but our Vitality hasn't diminished enough for other Factions to kill our disciples as they please. Even those… Remnants of the Heavenly Court, the Golden Dharma Halls and the Underworld wouldn't dare attack us as we are now."

Instead of getting angry at the sudden interruption, the Fifth Elder asked again. "But if does happen, how do you think we should react?"

Cupping his chin, Tian silently contemplated and weighed the pros and cons before arriving to a decision. "While we have and will continue to survive this new Age, the fact remains Time has not been kind to the Jie School. Depending on who the perpetrator and the disciple are, we should react accordingly. Context also matters, if it's just a misunderstanding, I suggest we use the opportunity to squeeze out any benefits we could from the perpetrator."

"And if the fallen disciple is a Core Disciples of the Jie School?"

"War." Yang Tian said without an ounce of hesitation. "Our School might have weakened after the Age of Gods, but we must show them we are not to be bullied or underestimated."

"So you say…" A few Elders echoed, humming as they stroke their beards. "Tian'er, I'm afraid to tell you your Junior Sister has passed away. Her Lamplight was found tainted with Demonic Mana early this morning and extinguished soon after."

The news was like lightning thundering near Tian's ears as his eyes widened. The response he had- the only noise he could make was a confused, "What? I don't- I don't understand?"

"My daughter- Shen Meilin is dead- likely murdered by one of the Magi." Another voice- gruff, containing a sea of hate and anger- the Sect Leader's to be precise, confirmed Tian's suspicions. "We have not decided to make this news known to our disciples yet. It is because of your… Relationship with her that we allow you to attend the meeting."

"… You're kidding, right?" Fists clenched, the young Taoist chuckled in disbelief. "Elders… Sect Leader, you guys sure know how to joke."

The 1st stage of grief: Denial.

"You little bastard… You think I'd joke about my daughter's wellbeing?!" Angrily, the Leader of the famed Jie School slapped his chair hard enough to shatter the entire thing- sending a wave of splinters to pierce the ceiling where he stood- his robe fluttering to the winds caused by his movements. It's a terrifying sight, to see the once calm Sect Leader losing himself to Wrath, but Yang Tian just couldn't muster up the strength to care.

No, all of his was spent on absorbing the news. "Then- Then why aren't the culprit dead yet?!"

Despite the clear show of insolence, none of the Elders made to reprimand him. How could they bring themselves too? It's not like they did not understand his feelings- his impotent rage. "Because it's Meilin's fault. She participated in a Ritual of the Magi without consulting us. If not for the Second Elder's Divination, it would have taken days- weeks- perhaps months for us to be notified."

Teeth clenched, trembling with anger, Yang Tian voiced. "Where… Where is he? Where's the bastard who killed her?!"

"Enough, Tian'er." The Fifth Elder scolded, gentler than ever. "We were willing to overlook your first outburst, but you're talking to Elders and the Sect Leader, not a fellow disciple. We understand your frustrations, it's why we have gathered here today- to discuss Mei'er matter. Sit, listen. If we require your inputs, you will be made aware."

A wave of Mana suddenly came crashing down on Tian, forcing him on his knees as the Elders resumed bickering again.

"Did you all hear that? Even a child has more balls than you bunch do! This isn't a nameless disciple we're talking about, it's the Princess of the Jie School!" The Fourth Elder shouted- his skin turning a shade of red and purple. "What's there to discuss?! Tell the 'Queen'–" The word was spat with such disgust - such derision, it made the entire Hall appear frozen in time as each of the Elders began to digest his words. "– To quickly hand over the murderer, or that dilapidated Tower of theirs will be met with the full might of the Four Immortals-Slaying Array!"

Rubbing his glabella, his Master stepped in. "We're the one seeking to establish connection to them in the first place. It will be a political disaster for us if we force their hands when our representative was at fault."

If not for the weight pushing down on him, Yang Tian would have cursed his Master for his cowardice, but as it was, he could only grit his teeth and resist the invisible force. "Sect Master, this is obviously a provocation! The Jie School can't let them do as they please! We have not been subjected to such injustice since the Heavenly Grandmaster was sealed away. She's your daughter too! How can you turn a blind-eye when her killer walks free?! It's your fault that girl's sent to the West anyway!

You and your obsession with their Magecraft!"

A hand suddenly found itself on the Fourth Elder's face- clamping his mouth shut and the more he struggled, the more the pressure applied increased. "Pay attention to what you are saying, Fourth Elder. Your ambition asides, I'm still the Sect Leader!" Shen Long roared, veins popping on his forearms.

Yet, before things could escalate further, he let go- falling on his seat with a heavy thud filled with helplessness. "You think I don't want to skin that bastard alive? You think I don't want vengeance?! This is the Will of the Ancestor." A wind blew past as silence descended upon the Main Hall. "The Ancestor's?"

The Fifth Elder repeated, feeling a chill caused by uncertainty ran down his spine. "Indeed."

Shen Long confirmed. "Twenty years ago, when I just rose to the position of Sect Master, the Ancestor came to me and asked if I was willing to sacrifice everything for the continued survival of the Jie School… I- the young man I was- foolishly said yes."

"Sect Leader–! / The Ancestor, did he–?!" Questions after questions arose, though the most important one must be, "Does he explain why?"

Shen Long looked down at his clenched fists- set on his enrobed knees and muttered. "He said this is a chance for both Mei'er and for us… That the next Immeasurable Tribulation is coming, and the Protagonist of this Calamity will be whoever Mei'er fell to. I once thought he was referring to–"

His eyes landed on Tian's kneeling form. "– But I was wrong."

"T- Then… What do we do?"

"Nothing." The Sect Master seemed to have aged by several decades as he lowered his head. "We can do nothing but wait and hope for the best. The Ancestor has forbid us from intervening with him."

"We understand, Sect Leader." Tian's Master spoke, sighing heavily as he gazed towards his poor disciple. Shen Meilin and Yang Tian had been a famous pair of childhood sweethearts for the longest time. Now, it would appear their relationship was not meant to be. "Tian'er…"

"Ye- Yes, Master."

The Disciple answered with much difficulty, finally managing to croak the words.

"From tomorrow onwards, you're forbidden from leaving the premise of your Residence–"

Tian looked at his Master in shock. "Master, you can't do this to me! Please, I'll do anything! Just let me–!"

"Foods, drinks shall be delivered to your doorsteps. If you take even a step outside the School, our fate–"

"Master! You can't do this me!"

"– Will be severed."

"MASTER!"

— [Fate: FS] —

Lazily, the Golden Queen floated next to Shinji who- while his gaze would occasionally move towards the exposed parts of her breasts with lust- was… Mostly able to restrain himself. "My Lady, you can sit here."

"What a gentleman." Gil 'swooned', before grabbing the chair handed to her. "Consider this dinner my way to thank you for saving my life."

"I'll dig in then." Nonchalantly, the Golden Queen summoned her utensils and started to eat- every movements, motions filled with an inhuman sense of grace- like Shinji was not watching a humanoid, but a lioness feasting on her preys, and in spite of the brutality of it all, there was something inherently beautiful about her- something which, he couldn't deny, drew him in deeper and deeper into her eyes. "This is… Alright. But I've had better."

Time passed as they ate- both refusing to talk, one simply because she's not interested in getting to know the opposition, while the other- having trapped himself in a forest for nearly a decade- was just too socially-anxious to think of a noteworthy topics. Still, he forced himself- feeling his heart race every time he caught himself looking at her. "So… Why did you save me, Lady Gilgamesh?"

Truth be told, Shinji couldn't tell which he'd like more,

For her to tell him she saved him because he's special,

Or because they had a common enemy.

He's hoping for the first, though his intuition told him it's probably the second. "What a ridiculous question… Do I need a reason to help my favored one?" The Golden Queen questioned with a raised eyebrow, and Shinji stammered. "I- I suppose not?"

Hand 'discreetly' palming his racing heart, Shinji shot to his feet. "I- I'm sorry, but I think we've run out of wines! Let me fetch more!"

Hurriedly, the last Scion of House Matou fled the scene, fearing he'd make a fool out of himself- more than he already did anyway. Gil made no move to stop him, leaning on her wrist as she snorted in amusement. "Did that mongrel think I was referring to him? What an idiot." Though his gaze crept her out, Gil had resolved herself to seeing this through. With each passing day, her Lion moved closer to his goal of journeying the Multiverse.

It's only a matter of time, and before that happened, she must determine if he's truly worthy to be more than just another suitor. Her heart- her feelings for him said yes, but when had Gilgamesh been controlled by mere… Chemical reactions of the brain and impulses? "Don't disappoint me, once you have defeated these fools- and I know you will, we shall face each other again in an earth-shattering battle."

She drawled- as though the man in question was sitting right in front of her and not a City-distance away.

"I will not submit to someone weaker than I am."
