"As for the location, I haven't decided yet, but Saber's residence seems to be a rather large castle. Holding a royal banquet in a castle would surely not be looked down upon. So, it's decided that the banquet will be held at Saber's residence!"
"This guy..." Waver felt dizzy after hearing the Conqueror's words. That was someone else's base, and you wanted to use it for a banquet?

"Qili, I'm quite surprised. I didn't expect your wine to taste so good. It's much better than the wine that Shichen collects."
At Kirei Kotomine's house, he looked at Gilgamesh lying on the bed with some surprise, seemingly not expecting why the other party would come to his door.
Jin Shanshan swirled the wine glass in his hand and said leisurely, "Although we haven't known each other for very long, I've developed a great interest in the man in front of me."
Because this man is very similar to him, he is an extremely "empty" being, without desires, feelings, joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. Apart from this physical body, there is nothing that can be called human.
"Kiri, you don't need to suppress your emotions so deliberately. If everyone lived like you, it would be so boring. Why not do what you really want to do? Release your suppressed desires."
Gilgamesh took a sip of his red wine, looking like an ancient demon luring humans into a trap.
"What I really want to do."
Upon hearing Gilgamesh's words, Kirei Kotomine clutched his heart and murmured repeatedly, "What is it that I truly want to do?"
Seeing the bewildered Kirei Kotomine, Gilgamesh chuckled.
"Kiri, you know better than anyone what you want. Remember, just follow your heart."
After saying this, he gradually turned into spirit particles and disappeared.
As night fell, Shen Qiu changed back into his black clothes and mask. Now he was about to go with Kiritsugu Emiya to carry out the plan that was aimed at them.
Meanwhile, at the Einzbern family villa.
Artoria, dressed in a black suit, gazed at the starry sky through the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the villa. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Because of Kiritsugu's hatred, she was unable to participate in the battle and had no idea what was happening in the Holy Grail War.
The wound on her left hand, caused by a deadly yellow rose thorn, suddenly healed early yesterday morning.
Upon seeing Kiritsugu Emiya's exhausted body, she naturally understood that her Master and the Caster's Master had joined forces to defeat Lancer, and that her knightly battle with that noble knight might never continue.
Despite being the best class, Saber, she has become an insignificant presence in this Holy Grail War.
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists. No matter what, no matter the cost, she had to obtain the Holy Grail. Only in this way could she change the past and avert Britain's fate of destruction...
As she frowned, a tremendous magical force suddenly surged forth, accompanied by thunderous roars from the horizon.
"Oh no, Irisviel, hide!"
Upon noticing the intruder, Artoria's black suit instantly transformed into blue and white armor. However, upon seeing the approaching Divine Wheel of Might, even she had to dodge aside, as she couldn't possibly take the A+ rank Noble Phantasm head-on.
The Einzbern family's castle was blasted open by the Wheel of God's might.
"Rider, are you going to war with us?!" Upon seeing the Conqueror King's open declaration of war, the enraged Artoria raised the Sword of Victory and Oath.
"Is this your castle? To be honest, it's rather boring. Although it's magnificent, it's lifeless."
Iskandar, who had caused immense damage, did not answer Artoria's question immediately. Instead, he looked around the castle and gave his comments.
Then, he turned to face the little girl in front of him.
"I've come to invite you for a drink. Don't you have any suitable places to drink here? How about it, Saber, how about a banquet between kings?"
"drink wine?"
At this moment, Artoria was stunned. She did not expect that the Conqueror King, who had used the Divine Wheel to travel to the castle and smashed a big hole, would invite her to drink.
In the back garden of Eindzbern Castle.
The garden was vast, filled with white roses that looked incredibly pure and beautiful under the moonlight. In the center of the garden, Scáthach had been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, Caster, I didn't expect you to be here so early. By the way, how did you know we were coming back here? I didn't even know beforehand. Do you have some kind of precognitive ability?"
Upon seeing that his master had been waiting there for some time, the Conqueror King seemed somewhat surprised, while Artoria immediately became alert.
Caster managed to sneak into the castle without a sound, bypassing his A-level intuition!
“How could I possibly possess such power? I just saw that the white roses here were very beautiful, so I came to admire them,” Scáthach replied with a smile.
"Okay, then—"
Without hesitation, the Conqueror King smashed the lid of the oak barrel in his hand with a single punch.
"Let us begin this banquet for kings!"

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Feast of Kings (Part 2)
After breaking the barrel lid, Rider first took out a huge wooden spoon, scooped up a spoonful of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.
Then he scooped up another spoonful of wine and handed it to Saber, who, not to be outdone, drank the entire spoonful of red wine in return.
"To be honest, in my opinion, this Holy Grail War was completely unnecessary to shed blood," Rider remarked after seeing Artoria drink her wine in one gulp.
"No need for bloodshed? Why?" Saber looked confused after hearing Iskandar's words. Shouldn't the Holy Grail War be a battle between the seven Sevents?
"It's very simple, little British girl."
After hearing Rider's words, Scáthach smiled and continued.
"If only one of them can persuade the other Sevents with words to give up this Holy Grail War and hand over the Holy Grail, that should be enough, King of Conquerors."
After taking the wine spoon from Saber, Scáthach also scooped out a spoonful of wine, but unlike the other two kings who drank it all in one gulp, she sipped it slowly.
"How is that possible..." Before Artoria could finish speaking, a golden figure appeared in front of the three of them—it was Gilgamesh, who had just come out of Kirei's house not long ago.
Unfortunately, he didn't look too good.
"To hold a royal banquet in such a boring place, well, I'll let you off the hook for deceiving the king, Rider, since these white roses are alright. You'd better make the banquet a little more interesting, or I can't guarantee I won't get angry, you bastard."
Meanwhile, on the other side is the Holy Church.
As Kirei looked at the blood still dripping from his hands, he felt as if the blood in his body was burning.
The black key, originally intended to help the souls of the dead find peace, has now pierced the heart of Kotomine Risei—his biological father. The priest's eyes are still wide open.
He never imagined that his beloved son, whom he cared for so much and placed such high hopes on, would kill him so casually!
Blood gushed from his chest, staining the ground red. At this moment, Kirei Kotomine was in an unprecedented state. So this is what it feels like to kill your own father with your own hands, so ugly!
This exhilarating feeling seemed to be addictive to him. So this is what it means to not suppress one's inner feelings?
"This is... pleasure." Kirei murmured as he watched the blood dripping from his hand. While he was still immersed in this feeling, a black shadow appeared in front of him.
"Lord Qili, Master Shichen has something important to discuss with you."
Hassan the Hundred Faces kept his head bowed low. As an Assassin, he possessed extremely high perception, so from the moment he was summoned, he knew how powerful his Master was, a power that even he, as a Heroic Spirit, would probably find difficult to match.
Fortunately, he adhered to Hassan's motto of "not saying much and not asking many questions." Even after witnessing Kiri kill his own father, he did not dare to utter a single unnecessary word and simply continued working in silence.
"I understand. Tell my master I'll be there right away. Also—"
After wiping the blood off his right hand with a white handkerchief, Kirei coldly ordered Assassin, "Send a clone over here to clean this place up."
Kirei took a deep breath as if he had come to his senses. He rolled up the sleeve of the priest's left arm, revealing an arm covered in Command Seals.
As the heir to this sacred church and the overseer of the next Holy Grail War, how will Kirei Kotomine transfer the Command Seals from Father's arm using the Path of Nature?
"Tch, what a terrible drink this is! Do you really think such a drink is worthy of a king's banquet, Rider?"
After drinking a spoonful of wine from the oak barrel, Gilgamesh's face showed disgust. Immediately afterwards, a halo appeared in front of him, from which a golden wine bottle and several goblets fell.
"This is...."
"Good wine!" Even the master couldn't help but exclaim after singing about Gilgamesh's wine. As expected of that person, he always has a lot of good stuff.
At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly became curious. He wondered who had the most gadgets between them, Doraemon and Shen Qiu...
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
"Of course! The Queen of the Land of Shadows, whether it's weapons or fine wine, anything in my treasury is naturally the best in the world!"
For some reason, Gilgamesh felt a strange sensation when he looked at Scáthach, as if he felt a sense of familiarity.
This is illogical, because he and she had only met for the first time.
“Oh? Is that so? In my opinion, Britain has far more wine than this.” Saber retorted, seemingly annoyed by Gilgamesh’s arrogance.
"Little Knight King, may I take this as a provocation?" Although he had a high tolerance for women, someone who repeatedly provoked the King of Kings was not one of them.
