Roy's actions made Rin blush, as if he were touching her own thighs.
Even Ishtar blushed slightly. Despite being a "Useless Goddess,"—she was still a young woman.
"Master, can you really grant my wish?" Saber asked, her eyes filled with hope.
She had witnessed Roy conjure jewels from thin air, but could he really save her country?
"Saber, you haven't even introduced yourself yet," Roy said, shifting his position to lie on Ishtar's lap instead.
"My True Name is Artoria Pendragon..."
"Artoria? Are you the King Arthur of Britain?!" Rin interrupted, her voice filled with surprise.
"Yes, I am the King of Britain. An... Incompetent king," Saber replied with a self-deprecating chuckle.
Everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected Saber to be the legendary King Arthur.
"Saber... That's a bit of a mouthful. How about I call you Artoria instead?" Roy suggested.
"By the way, Artoria, what is your wish?"
Artoria didn't object and answered, "I want to save my country."
"Save your country? But if I remember correctly, Britain has already fallen in your timeline," Sakura said, confused.
"No, my country is divided, but it hasn't truly fallen. And I haven't died either. I simply made a contract with a certain being and became a Heroic Spirit," Artoria explained.
They were intrigued.
Strictly speaking, Artoria wasn't a normal Heroic Spirit. She was more like a "Pseudo-Servant."
This was because she had made a contract with Alaya on the verge of death.
In exchange for becoming a Heroic Spirit after death, her only wish granted by the Holy Grail was to "redo the selection of the king."
Her body remained frozen in time, at the moment of her death.
She wasn't used to being a spirit, or rather, she couldn't be. She was frozen in time until summoned.
To break the contract, she had to destroy the Holy Grail with her own will.
"I can't believe the legendary King Arthur is a woman!" Rin exclaimed in disbelief.
"This is a bit tricky," Roy said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
Although his magic could easily alter an entire country, Artoria's world was a parallel world.
His system could only transport him to different points in time within the same world, not to parallel worlds.
"Can't you do it?" Artoria asked, her voice laced with disappointment.
"My magic can indeed change the world, but..."
"But what?" Artoria asked anxiously.
"But I can't go to your world," Roy replied with a shrug.
"Eh...?" Artoria hadn't considered that. Even if Roy could save her world, it was useless if he couldn't reach it.
She was disheartened.
"Is there really no way?" Rin asked with a frown.
"Of course there is," Roy said confidently.
"What is it?" Artoria's eyes lit up with hope.
"The legendary Second Magic should be able to do it. It can interfere with parallel worlds. And the user is Zelretch, the teacher of the Tohsaka family," Roy explained.
"Zelretch? I've never heard of him," Rin said, confused.
She didn't know her family had such a powerful magic.
In the Fate route's Heaven's Feel scenario, Rin had used the power of the Jeweled Sword to defeat a corrupted Sakura.
The story of 'Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA' was caused by him.
"Of course he exists. But it was a long time ago. If you search carefully, you should be able to find a Jeweled Sword left behind by him," Roy explained.
Rin decided to search for the Jeweled Sword when she returned home.
"But that probably won't help Saber, right?" Sakura said softly.
Indeed, the only person who currently possessed the Second Magic was nowhere to be found. Even if he had left something behind for the Tohsaka family, it wouldn't help Saber.
Artoria's shoulders slumped.
"Don't worry, I have another way," Roy said.
"What is it?" Artoria asked eagerly.
"It's both simple and difficult," Roy replied with a mysterious smile.
"Just tell us already!" Rin exclaimed, annoyed by his cryptic words.
"It involves the one who made the contract with Artoria. And if I'm not mistaken, Scathach, it's also related to how you were summoned here."...
"The one who made the contract with me?" Artoria echoed, confused.
She didn't know who had made the contract with her.
Scathach was also puzzled. She had simply heard a voice telling her about someone who could kill her.
And she had been offered a chance to leave the Land of Shadows, so she had agreed without hesitation.@@novelbin@@
But she didn't know who had summoned her.
"Don't worry about that for now. Artoria, I promise I'll save your country. But..." Roy paused.
"But what?" Artoria asked, her eyes filled with hope.
"But after I save your country, you have to become my queen," Roy declared.
"Queen?" Artoria blushed.
"I knew you wouldn't help without asking for something in return. You're such a Devil," Rin scoffed.
"Of course. I'm a Devil. I never do anything without a reward," Roy replied with a grin, taking her words as a compliment.
"It's only natural," Scathach chimed in. "Just like I agreed to become Roy's servant in exchange for him showing me more powerful opponents."
Rin sighed. Everyone here was so strange.
"Alright, let's leave that topic for now. Artoria, let's go on a date," Roy said, standing up and offering his hand to Artoria.
"We need to develop our relationship before you become my queen."
Artoria blushed, but she took his hand.
Roy pulled her close, and they vanished in a flash of light.
Sakura, Medea, Scathach, and Rin were speechless.
Roy had just left to go on a date with his Servant, leaving them behind.
Sakura looked envious. She had never been on a date with Roy alone...

Meanwhile, Roy and Artoria appeared on a bustling street.
Roy frowned, seeing that Artoria was still wearing her armor.
"Artoria, why are you still wearing your armor? You should wear something nice for a date. Come on, let's buy you some clothes," he said, pulling her along.
"Master, there's no need. I can change my clothes with magic," Artoria protested.
"Magic clothes won't do. Come with me," Roy insisted with a smile.
He took her to a clothing store filled with beautiful clothes.
Artoria's eyes widened as she took in the sight.
"Artoria, what kind of clothes do you like?" Roy asked as he browsed the racks.
"Ah, this..." Artoria was knowledgeable about the world thanks to the Holy Grail, but when it came to fashion, she was clueless.
"Then let me choose for you," Roy said, seeing her confusion.
Artoria had a rather... petite figure.
This limited their options considerably. Roy even picked out a school swimsuit for her to try on.
"How do I wear this?" Artoria asked, staring at the swimsuit with a bewildered expression.
"Don't worry, I'll ask the staff to help you," Roy said, pushing her towards the fitting room and calling for assistance.
Soon, Artoria emerged from the fitting room, wearing the school swimsuit.
Roy's eyes lit up.
Although it was a bit revealing, she looked adorable, and Roy was pleased.
Artoria, wearing such a "shameful" outfit for the first time, was quite embarrassed. Even the King of Knights was just a girl at heart.
This Artoria, who hadn't experienced the events of the original story, was more like a king than a girl.
That's why Roy had brought her out alone. He wanted her to experience life as a normal girl, not just a king who sacrificed everything for her country.
Roy took out his camera from his subspace and snapped a few pictures of Artoria in her swimsuit. He then handed her a pink swimsuit with frills.
"Artoria, go try this on and show me," he said.
"Eh? How do I wear this?" Artoria blushed, her bewildered expression making Roy's heart melt.
"Don't worry, the staff will help you," Roy reassured her, pushing her back into the fitting room. He then turned to the staff member. "Please wrap up all the clothes Artoria tries on."
"Certainly, sir!" the staff member replied with a smile.
Roy continued to choose various outfits for Artoria to try on.
Artoria was quite obedient and tried on even the most revealing clothes without complaint.
Roy then took her to explore the rest of the shopping district.
When they reached the food street, Artoria couldn't resist the temptation.
