Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"And then they perished?"

"..."

"So, the fault doesn't lie with you, it lies with your subordinates who don't understand you."

"no......"

"Alright, stop speaking up for them. You know how stupid they are; they caused the country's downfall."

"..." Saber had no way to refute it.

"Just listen to me. They're the ones who're wrong. Don't regret your failure."

“How could you…” Saber shook her head.

"I am the Master, and what I say goes. If you don't listen to me, I will have to use Command Spells to command you."

"You can't use Command Spells like that!" Saber quickly stopped her.

"Then listen to me."

"..."

"Alright, we should go back now. Ellie and the others will be worried." Shi Chen pulled her back to the hotel without giving her a chance to explain, not caring whether she had been persuaded or not.

He knew, of course, that Saber wouldn't be so easily persuaded, but that was all in the past and didn't really matter.

He just wanted her to talk about it; some things are easier to bear when someone knows them.

Chapter 314 An Apple-Flavored Kiss

"Time, Saber, you're back!"

When Shichen and Saber appeared, Irisviel breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were alright.

“Alice, we’re back…” Saber whispered back.

"Ok?"

Having spent some time with Saber, Irisviel immediately noticed something was wrong with her and looked at Shichen with suspicion.

Shi Chen smiled at her, indicating that she didn't need to worry: "Aili, have you been waiting here all this time?"

It's past midnight now, which is usually a long time before I'd be asleep.

“Hmm…I’m a little worried about you.” Irisviel nodded.

"It's just a cocktail party, nothing will happen. Although they are enemies, they are still historical figures."

"But the Master is here..."

Unlike Servants, Masters may resort to any means to achieve victory.

"What? Have you forgotten my abilities? How can you be so distrustful of me?" Shi Chen pretended to be angry as he looked at her.

“I…I know you’re very capable, better than anyone else, but I’m still worried,” Irisviel replied earnestly.

"Really? Okay." Shi Chen laughed.

Trust and worry are not actually contradictory.

"Alice, I'm going to rest now." Saber didn't say anything more and prepared to go back to her room.

"Wait, Saber, aren't you going to take a shower?"

"No need, there's no battle..."

"No, girls need to shower every day."

"Girls..."

"Yes, Saber may be a queen, but she is indeed a girl, and a cute one at that."

"..." Saber pursed her lips, and for some reason looked at the time.

"Yes, Saber, you are indeed a girl, and very cute." Shichen nodded.

"...Then I'll go take a shower first."

"Mmm!" Irisviel nodded happily.

Once Saber entered the bathroom, Shi Chen looked at her with amusement and asked, "What are you so happy about?"

“Saber has admitted that she is a girl.”

“She already has self-awareness; she doesn’t need you to remind her.” Shi Chen sat down on the sofa, took an apple, and took a bite.

I don't know where these apples came from, but they were incredibly crisp and juicy.

“This won’t do. Saber only knows that she is a woman, but she doesn’t have the needs of a woman.”

"Women's needs?" Shi Chen, biting into an apple, blinked and looked at her strangely.

"Oh dear! It's not what you think!" Looking at Shi Chen's eyes, Irisviel knew he had misunderstood.

"Hmm? What do I mean?"

"You're so annoying!" Irisviel playfully punched him lightly.

"How dare you hit me?"

Just as Irisviel was about to pull her hand back, Shichen released the apple he was biting and grabbed her wrist.

"Hmph~ Serves you right for playing tricks on me."

"That's what you call teasing you?"

"Of course."

"How about this?" Shi Chen pulled her into his arms and made her lie down.

"Ugh..." Irisviel was caught off guard and didn't expect him to pull her. She leaned forward and rested in his arms.

Although we are already very familiar with each other, and have even been intimate while taking a bath, this is truly the first time we've been this close.

A familiar yet stronger scent rushed towards her, leaving her somewhat disoriented.

Shi Chen took the apple out of his mouth with his other hand, put it down, then hugged her tighter and asked in a low voice, "Was this considered teasing?"

“I…I don’t know…” Irisviel’s voice was even lower.

"You really don't know?" Shi Chen lowered his head, lifted her chin with one hand, and looked her in the eye.

Only upon closer inspection can one truly appreciate what perfection means. Her face is flawless, and her features are exquisitely refined.

“I…” Irisviel’s fair face flushed instantly.

Shi Chen looked into her ruby ​​eyes and slowly approached.

Irisviel began to feel nervous; she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

She knew exactly what to do given the timing.

She knows a lot, but in reality, she knows nothing.

He drew nearer to her, until their noses touched, before stopping and softly asking, "Is it alright?"

"W-what can I do?" Irisviel asked, feigning ignorance.

Her breath touched Shi Chen's nose, giving him a fragrant and intoxicating scent.

"What do you say?"

"I......"

"You're my daughter's mother, isn't that alright?"

“…” Irisviel fell silent.

She had long accepted that Shichen was Illya's father, and of course, she also accepted that she was Illya's parent.

These two are not the same; the latter signifies that she has accepted that the two are already husband and wife.

Since they are husband and wife, some things are reasonable.

But the time she just heard was something she suddenly couldn't accept.

"Is it just because...she's Ilya's mother?" she suddenly asked.

"Aren't you Ilya's mother?" Shichen continued to tease her.

“I am Ilya’s mother, her biological mother, but I don’t want to be known by that identity.”

"Then what identity do you want to assume?" Shi Chen countered.

"I don't know." Irisviel shook her head gently, wiping the tip of her nose.

"In that case... how about as the person I like?"

"Huh?" Irisviel's eyes widened as she looked at the star that was so close to her.

"What? Not even that?"

"No! You... what did you say?"

“I said, I like you,” Shi Chen answered without hesitation.

"Really, really?"

"real."

“Hmm…” Irisviel smiled happily, her eyes sparkling.

"Now it's my turn to ask you, do you like me?"

"Of course I like it!" Irisviel answered without hesitation.

It wasn't because of Ilya's father's identity, but because of the time when Shichen first brought her to this city.

She had never left the Einzbern family home, nor seen any other scenery, until his arrival.

He gave her freedom, many experiences, and allowed her to see many things she didn't know before.

She liked her from the bottom of her heart.

"You really like me?" Shi Chen continued, still not believing me.
