"This is one of my abilities. There are three others with the same ability."

"What?!" Irisviel was stunned.

......

A year passed quickly, and Shi Chen spent his days leisurely, either playing with Ilya and Shi Ying in the castle or occasionally taking them to Fuyuki City for delicious food.

Using spatial mobility is very convenient; you can go early and return late.

Frillie has become a complete homebody. She discovered the wonderful thing called comics, and her room is now overflowing with them within a year.

If it weren't for the fact that Fuyuki City has cola, she probably wouldn't have wanted to leave with them.

It's really ruined.

That year, the Einzbern family finally found the catalyst for him to summon the Heroic Spirit: a golden scabbard.

In the dimly lit room, a simple ritual circle was drawn on the floor. Shichen and Irisviel stood in front of the circle, while the head of the Einzbern family watched from a corner.

"What is this scabbard?" Irisviel asked, looking at the golden scabbard on the altar with a puzzled expression.

"This is the scabbard of a famous king. With it, the ritual doesn't need to be so complicated; you can easily summon that heroic spirit," Shichen explained, his tone revealing a hint of excitement.

"Which king is it?"

"You'll know soon."

The time-activation ceremony began, magic was poured in, the magic circle started operating, and then a strong wind swept in, and white smoke rose everywhere.

As the wind subsided, a sharp voice rang out.

"Tell me, are you my...Master?"

Chapter 299 King Arthur

The white smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a beautiful golden figure clad in a skirt and armor.

"what?"

Upon seeing the true appearance of the Heroic Spirit, Irisviel exclaimed in surprise; it was somewhat different from what she had expected.

The time had said that the summoning process, using the sword sheath as a catalyst, should have been a king, but what appeared was a young girl with a single ahoge (a cowlick-like hair sticking up).

Despite her cold gaze, her skin looked soft and white, with her golden hair piled up and her emerald green eyes. Her face was pretty even without makeup, and she had a petite figure... If it weren't for her armor-like dress, she might have doubted whether she had summoned a heroic spirit.

"Is the timing wrong?" Irisviel asked, looking at the girl who had appeared.

"No."

Shi Chen shook his head, looking at the serious girl with a smile: "She is the Heroic Spirit I am going to summon."

Despite his expression, he was actually relieved; he was genuinely afraid that he would summon a man.

That would be hopeless.

"Then she is?"

"The legendary king of ancient Britain, also known as King Arthur, was called the knight among knights—King of Knights."

"What? How could this be...?"

Irisviel was shocked. She knew of the legendary king, but she never expected that it would be this girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Is history fake?

"Don't overthink it. History has its hidden aspects, but all you need to know is that she is indeed King Arthur."

“That’s true…” Irisviel nodded slowly. “If it really is King Arthur, our chances of winning are much higher.”

"It's hard to say, provided I'm not there."

“You don’t even know how to be humble, Shichen…” Irisviel laughed.

"I'm telling the truth."

Time walked towards the still-contemplative Heroic Spirit, stood before her, and extended his hand: "King Arthur, hello, I am your Master—Time."

"Time...I understand."

The girl snapped out of her daze, nodded, and reached out to grasp the hand of Toki: "Master, I am Saber, summoned to fight alongside you."

From the moment she was summoned, Saber knew everything, even modern knowledge.

The Holy Grail's gift of riding ability also allows her to freely drive all modes of transportation, including motorcycles and airplanes.

It's quite convenient.

"Saber... well, I'll call you that for now." Feeling the firmness of Saber's handshake and seeing her youthful face, Toki finally confirmed that she was indeed a young girl.

His affection for her was undeniable; it had blossomed the moment he met her. And so, when she appeared before him like this, an inexplicable anger welled up within him.

It's truly shameful that group of people would place such a huge responsibility on a young girl and then say that she doesn't understand human nature.

Regardless of the legends, when Saber appeared before him, she was just a young girl, or at most a somewhat powerful one.

A feeling of pity naturally arose.

“Master?” Saber looked at Shichen in confusion, his hand suddenly clenching.

"Feel sorry......"

Shi Chen shook his head, adjusted his mindset, released her, and turned to leave: "Saber, please take care of me in the future."

Once outside, Shichen didn't look back and slowly disappeared from Saber's sight.

"Saber, nice to meet you~" Irisviel approached Saber and said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Saber looked at her in confusion.

"My name is Irisviel, Irisviel von Einzbern."

“Irisviel... what is your relationship with Master?” Saber asked directly.

"Hmm...it seems like she can only be his daughter's mother," Irisviel replied, resting her hand on her chin, somewhat uncertainly.

"Master has a daughter?" Saber was a little surprised. Shichen's appearance didn't look like that of someone who had a child.

"Then aren't you his wife?"

"Not really."

"Huh?" Saber was stunned.

"I'll explain later, but for now, just settle in," Irisviel said gently.

"I see......"

"Let's go out first." Irisviel suddenly took Saber's arm affectionately and pulled her away.

"Irisviel?"

"Don't worry about it~ Don't worry about it~"

"this......"

Saber found herself unable to free her hand and could only be led by Irisviel, whose closeness made her a little uncomfortable.

Irisviel was no stranger to Saber; after all, from the outside, she looked like a cute girl of fifteen or sixteen, still so young. So she led her on a tour of the Einzbern family home.

After exploring the living area, Irisviel took Saber to the courtyard.

"lady."

When Sera and Liss saw Irisviel, they bowed their heads and greeted her respectfully.

"Sera, Lisse, this is the Servant of Time, Saber," Irisviel greeted the two warmly.

"Saber." The two of them kept their heads down, showing no reaction to her girlish appearance.

"Who are they?" Saber looked at the two of them, frowning. She immediately noticed that something was wrong with them.

“They are artificial life forms, just like me.”

"I see......"

"Aren't you surprised?"

“Not surprised.” Saber shook her head slightly, her expression indifferent.

"Oh~ As expected of a Heroic Spirit. By the way, can you tell me about yourself?"

"I don't have much to say about my situation... I'd like to talk to Master."

"That's it."

Irisviel noticed that Saber's expression was a little strange, but thinking about it, she knew that, unlike the legends, she was such a young girl, so there must be a lot of bad things going on.

"Where is Master?"

"It should be... over there."

Irisviel led Saber to the city wall, where they looked down and saw Shichin playing in the snow with Illya and Shisei outside the castle.

The three were having a snowball fight, with Ilya and Shi Ying taking on Shi Chen two-on-one.

"Dad! Take this!"

"Brother, I'm sorry..."

Ilya and Shi Ying kept throwing snowballs at Shi Chen from a spot not far away.

Shi Chen easily dodged the attacks, though he was occasionally hit, but he didn't retaliate.

"No way, they can't hit me at all."

"Hmph~ Dad, don't be so smug! Watch me!"

"Is that Master's daughter? She looks just like you."

“After all, I am a mother.” Irisviel nodded proudly.

"And who is the other little girl?"

"She was rescued by Shi Chen and taken in by him. Her name is Shi Ying."

“Master… is a good person.” Saber stared blankly, lost in thought.
