"No, it's very nice to take a bath with my brother."
"...Fine, I give up on you two."
"Hehe~ Dad and Mom took a shower first without telling us. But why is Mom's face so red?"
"Oh, maybe it soaked for too long," Shi Chen explained casually.
"They've been soaking for hours!"
"Cough cough."
Ilya didn't think much of it, but Shi Ying stared at Irisviel's rosy cheeks, especially the beauty in her eyes, and seemed to be deep in thought.
Unlike Ilya, she doesn't know anything.
......
After spending some time in the bedroom, when it was time for dinner at the hotel, Shichen prepared to take the two of them out for dinner.
The two little girls were hungry, and he had also burned a lot of energy and was hungry too.
He told the two to change their clothes first, and then he went to call Saber and Frilian to join him.
Irisviel naturally couldn't go along.
Shichen arrived at Saber's room, knocked on the door, and asked, "Saber, are you asleep?"
"Shichen... what's wrong?"
"It's time for dinner."
"I...I'm not that hungry..." Saber's tone was a little hesitant.
Without saying a word, Shichen pushed open the door and saw Saber kneeling on the bed, looking like she was meditating and resting.
It's clear she's still struggling with the fact that she killed Lancelot.
"Shichen, what are you doing here?"
"Aren't you going to let me in?" Shi Chen strode towards her.
"No... at least you need my permission."
"You are my Servant, what do I need your permission to do?"
Shi Chen came to the bedside, looked at her, and asked, "Are you still thinking about Lancelot?"
“I…” Saber hesitated, then lowered her head.
"Sigh, what's there to care about him for?" Shi Chen sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her helplessly.
"I......"
"That guy seduced your wife, killed your men, and caused the destruction of your kingdom. And you still care about him?"
"..."
"I think if you just wish to kill Lancelot sooner, your kingdom won't be destroyed."
"Shichen, what nonsense are you talking about?" Saber couldn't help but raise her head.
"Am I wrong?" Shi Chen asked expressionlessly.
“I…” She couldn’t refute it.
Do you know what word there is now? It's used to describe you.
"What word?" Saber couldn't help but ask.
"Our Lady."
"The Holy Mother?" Saber was taken aback. In her mind, the Holy Mother was a synonym for good.
But she didn't think Shichen was going to praise her right now.
“That’s right, I’m not praising you. In this era, ‘saint’ refers to someone who cares too much about others, even to the point of sacrificing their own interests,” Shi Chen explained.
"..." Saber pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
"Have you ever thought about this question?" Shi Chen continued to ask.
"what is the problem?"
"You care about such a heartless person, have you ever considered the feelings of other people?"
“Heartless and cruel…is it really necessary to make it sound so serious?” Saber frowned.
"What? You still want to protect him? Using that word to insult him is an insult to wolves and dogs."
"Time!"
"Hmm? You still want to fight me for him?" Shi Chen's face showed displeasure.
"No...no, I just don't want you to speak ill of him like that...Lancelot, he's a good subordinate of mine..."
"Are you sure?" Shi Chen suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, his expression icy.
“I…” Saber was startled by Shichen’s expression.
"You actually think he's a good subordinate? Have you considered how he felt when he killed Agravivan in a fit of rage?"
“Huh?” Saber was stunned.
"You think he's a good subordinate, but if he kills your other subordinates, does that mean Agravan isn't a good subordinate?"
“Don’t… don’t say that…”
Saber tried to avoid Shichen's gaze, but Shichen held her chin, preventing her from lowering her head.
"Watch me closely!"
“Time…” Saber said sadly.
"You're just overflowing with a saintly heart. You don't care about the people you should care about, and you insist on caring about the people you don't care about. You deserve to have your country destroyed! You're still thinking about forgiving Lancelot. Have you not considered the feelings of the other Knights of the Round Table?"
"Time... How could you say that..."
"I'm going to bring you to your senses! What's there to care about Lancelot? He's dead, so be it. Besides, he was just a Heroic Spirit, a Berserker. He's no longer your subordinate or comrade-in-arms, he's an enemy!"
"I......"
"How dare you make a wish to save your kingdom in this state? Do you even have the face to see the other Knights of the Round Table? You have so many people you've wronged, yet you're so concerned about the culprit. You don't deserve to be king. A king should at least understand the basic principles of reward and punishment!"
"Stop, stop talking..." Saber kept shaking her head, unwilling to listen to Shichen's mockery, tears already streaming down her face.
Shi Chen's words struck a nerve, trampling on her self-esteem and crushing her beliefs.
His words were so direct, even harsher than Rider's, but she couldn't refute them at all.
She knew he was right.
"What? Playing the victim?" Shi Chen's tone remained icy.
He felt sorry for Saber, but he couldn't be soft-hearted at this moment. She really deserved to be scolded and had to be woken up with a good scolding.
“Time…why do you say that?” Saber asked, weeping.
The timing was so cruel, making her feel that his previous gentle and peaceful demeanor was all a lie.
“It’s simple, I don’t want you to dwell on Lancelot anymore.”
Shichen lowered his head, leaned close to Saber, almost face to face with her, and said coldly, "You are now only my Servant. You are mine, and you cannot think of anyone else."
"What are you saying... ugh!"
Before Saber could finish speaking, Shichen silenced him with a kiss.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before. For a moment, she was stunned, her eyes wide as she stared at the time that was so close to her.
His pupils were as black as ink, yet as dazzling as stars, and within them lay the emotion of possessiveness.
He stopped short of leaving Saber, released her chin, and turned to leave.
"Let me clear your mind. Just think about this for now."
Saber stared at his retreating figure, still speechless.
"I'll give you two and a half minutes to get ready so we can go downstairs for dinner, or I'll have to use a Command Spell to order you out."
Bang!
After saying that, Shi Chen walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Saber, still lost in thought, stared blankly at the closed door. After a few seconds, she raised her hand and pressed it to her lips, her expression dazed.
......
As Shichen left Saber's room, he let out a soft sigh and smiled.
Because of that moment of tenderness.
Overjoyed, Shi Chen walked briskly to the door of Frillie's room, pushing it open without knocking.
Frillie was lying on the bed, looking at a comic book. The room was dimly lit, with only a little bit of light.
"..." She looked helpless when she saw the time.
"What's with that expression?" Shi Chen walked towards her, displeased.
"Why are you here?" Frillie asked helplessly.
"I'm here to call you for dinner."
"it is good......"
Snapped--!
A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out in the room.
Frillie clutched her backside, staring at him in disbelief: "I was about to get up, why did you hit me?"
"Because I'm happy."
