Compared to the bustling atmosphere of the Yggdmillennia family, Lancer was like a salted fish.
Siegfried served as Fiore's bodyguard; Chiron and Gord treated the homunculi together, and also asked for advice on how to strengthen homunculi; Caules was helping Gord, and he didn't know if it was because of the influence of his Servant, his attitude towards the homunculi had changed a lot recently, as if he saw the shadow of his Servant on these homunculi; Avicebron was using the last bit of time to teach Roche more knowledge...
As for the last two, Astolfo and Celenike? They had not been seen since they came back. Lancer originally thought that the lively Astolfo would come over to have breakfast together.
What happened?
In the dimly lit basement, there was only one electric lamp that had been used for an unknown amount of time, emitting a weak light.
And in this dimly lit basement, a 'girl' with pink hair was tied to a stone bed with chains.
"Master, although I am about to leave, can I please ask you not to be so enthusiastic?"
If it were a normal little girl tied there, she might feel uneasy, but in reality, the person involved was a 'knight' from ancient times. Even after being tied up by the other party, he had no other feeling besides a face full of helplessness.
"Shut up! Rider! I am the Master!!"
"Yes~ yes~"
The helpless Astolfo looked at his Master with a distorted expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.
'Sigh~ There's still one last day, I really want to go out and hang out with Lancer and the others...'
Speaking of which, Astolfo also felt very helpless. In his opinion, it would have been fine if he had been summoned by Lancer, Fiore, or even Caules, but unfortunately, his luck seemed to be a little bit worse.
'Master looks quite cute, but unfortunately, her personality is really uncomplimentary.'
Astolfo had forgotten why he participated in this Holy Grail War, but he didn't dislike the 'friends' he met this time. Of course, it would be even better if his Master could be a little more normal.
But just as he was mocking himself, something even more unexpected happened.
"Hey! Hey! Master!! What are you doing~! It's one thing to take off your clothes, but why are you doing something to my pants?!"
"Pa~!"
After unhesitatingly breaking free of the chains that bound his hands, Astolfo was about to go and stop the other party, but ——————
"By the power of the Command Spell! Stop! Rider!!"
No one expected Celenike to suddenly use a Command Spell. One must know that after the 'Great Holy Grail War' ended, Jeanne had personally informed everyone that she would be recovering the 'Command Spells' after the other Servants returned to the Throne of Heroes.
"Master?! What are you doing?! The Command Spell is already..."
"Shut up! Rider!! You are nothing but a 'puppet' that I summoned with magic, what right do you have to defy me?!"
Astolfo, who originally had a face full of panic, was completely stunned. After being stunned for a few seconds, he even showed a helpless bitter smile.
"So in Master's eyes, I am just a 'puppet'?"
All this time, Astolfo just felt that his Master was a little strange, but he really did not expect his Master to say such a thing.
Although the Servants and Masters of the black side seemed to be in a turbulent undercurrent in private, at least on the surface, they looked very harmonious.
Darnic and the Grand Duke were a standard example of the Servant being the main focus and the Master assisting (in reality, the Master screwed the Servant and then was counter-killed).
Siegfried and Gord were Servants who simply obeyed orders, while the Master occupied an absolutely dominant position.
Avicebron and Roche had a master-disciple relationship, and the two often spent the night in the Golem factory (although Avicebron seemed to have some ideas about his Master, he gave up in the end due to various reasons).
Lancer and Li Shuwen often practiced spears in the courtyard, and Fiore and Chiron often drank tea and ate snacks while watching Lancer and the others practice spears. Even the relationship between Caules and Berserker was not bad.
It could be said that in Astolfo's opinion, the situation of his relationship with his Master was actually the 'worst' among everyone.
'I thought Master was just coveting my body before, but I didn't expect her to just treat me as a 'puppet'. Forget it, I'll just close my eyes and endure it and it'll be over...'
As a Servant, Astolfo knew better than anyone the restrictive nature of Command Spells, so he had no other choice. But at this moment ——————
"Celenike? What are you doing?!"
A voice with a mix of shame and anger suddenly came from the doorway, and after being stunned for a moment, Celenike also looked at the doorway of the room with a face full of displeasure. At this time, a girl in a wheelchair was looking at her with an unbelievable expression.
"Tsk~! Little girl! This has nothing to do with you! It's my freedom to deal with my own Servant! Don't bother me! If you don't want to get hurt —————— then get out of here!!"
At this time, Celenike's expression had become a little distorted, and this distortion even made her originally decent face become incredibly ferocious.
If the most unstable factor in Darnic's plan was Lancer, then Celenike was in second place. This was not only because she had just recently joined Yggdmillennia, but also because of the twisted desires in her heart.
Generally speaking, most magi see sex as a simple exchange of body fluids, and in the eyes of orthodox magi, aside from continuing the lineage and family, they are extremely stingy about it, after all, what's so interesting about sex when you can study magic?
(A girlfriend is not as fun as a game! —————— B.S.)
But Celenike was the exact opposite. To put it simply, the reason she participated in the Holy Grail War was simply because she was 'bored' and hoped to find a new 'toy' through the Holy Grail War.
A twisted person like her being able to survive and even live a comfortable life naturally has enough strength and ability, and Darnic also promised her that once the 'plan' was successful, he would not care how she treated her Servant. However, there is never a lack of accidents in this world.
No one expected Darnic to be the only Master of the Yggdmillennia family to be killed in action, and now Fiore has even changed her strategy. It can be said that Darnic's promise to her has completely become a piece of waste paper.
All these reasons led Celenike to unhesitatingly choose to seize the last bit of time to act against Astolfo. And at this time, facing Fiore, who had ruined her good time in all sorts of ways, she naturally did not have the slightest good face, and even threw a magical tool with a curse in an attempt to intimidate her.
"Ding~!"
But this steel nail was knocked down directly from the air before it even got close to Fiore.
Siegfried, who had undone his spiritual form, looked at Celenike in front of him with a serious face, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.
