Type-Moon, is this really not the Reverse Side of the World?

The Einzbern Castle.

Watching Irisviel's figure leave the bedroom, Lin Jiuan sighed heavily in his heart. "What is all this?"

He had wanted Artoria and Gilgamesh to fight, but that was when Gilgamesh's Master was Tokiomi or Kirei. Now that Gilgamesh's Master was Aoi, it was a bit awkward for the two of them to be fighting. But he couldn't persuade them to stop. Leaving aside whether Irisviel and Aoi could coexist peacefully, there was absolutely no chance of peace between Gilgamesh and Artoria. Artoria had thoroughly offended Gilgamesh tonight. Moreover, Artoria had a reason she absolutely needed the Grail. While Gilgamesh had no wish for the Grail, that narcissist would never give something she considered 'hers' to Artoria, especially since she had now taken an interest in him.

"Maybe I should just run away?"

Although it was a bit irresponsible, Lin Jiuan couldn't think of any other use for himself, trapped between these four women, than being fought over and then... used for this and that.

Just as he was planning his escape, the doorknob suddenly turned. Iri left to check the castle's magic defenses. Why is she back so soon? And why didn't she knock?

Lin Jiuan quickly closed his eyes and feigned sleep, hoping Irisviel would leave quickly so he could continue with his escape plan. He heard footsteps enter the room, close the door, and approach the bed. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel someone standing right beside him. And... the footsteps didn't sound like Irisviel's.

A soft hand was placed on his face, caressing it for a moment. Then, accompanied by distinctly heavy breathing, it began to grope its way under the covers. Lin Jiuan's eyes snapped open. When he saw the girl with dark golden pupils by his bed, he nearly cursed out loud.

I knew it!

"Done pretending to be asleep?" Artoria's lips curled into a grin that was definitely not a friendly one. She leaned forward, her dark golden eyes filled with unconcealed desire. Her small tongue greedily licked her cherry lips, as if looking at a delicious feast.

Get a hold of yourself, I'm not food!

"Saber?! What are you doing?!"

"What am I doing?" Seeing Lin Jiuan's obvious panic, the smile on Artoria's lips widened. Inhaling the faint scent of the Sixth Beast that he unknowingly emitted, a look of intoxication appeared on her face. Yes, this is the feeling. I want more. Whether it's power or something else, I want more!

"Why, I'm going to eat you, of course."

Artoria climbed onto the bed and sat astride him, looking down at him. Her lofty, dark golden eyes gave him the feeling of being watched by a human-like Gilgamesh, but only human-like.

"Y-You're the noble King of Knights!"

"The King of Knights?" Artoria let out a mocking laugh as if she had heard a joke. Just smelling his scent, just seeing his panicked expression like a helpless little animal, filled her with an incredible sense of pleasure. To hell with chivalry! To hell with justice! Those things couldn't even protect my country! They can all go to hell!

I, Artoria, am no longer a knight!

No, that's not quite right. A thought suddenly occurred to Artoria. She leaned down and sealed his mouth with her own. A long time later, amidst his indignant gaze, the smile on her lips grew more bewitching, her breathing more ragged. Her lips slid from his mouth to his ear, and she exhaled a soft whisper.

"You don't want to be caught by Gilgamesh again, do you?"

Is there any difference between you two?!

"I used up quite a bit of magical energy saving you just now, you know."

Feeling the hot breath on his earlobe and the soft touch of her lips, Lin Jiuan's body couldn't stop trembling. I've had enough of this! First one, then the other, you're all like this! Who is the NTR character here, me or all of you?!

After speaking, Artoria slowly straightened up. Looking at his expression of ultimate indignation, yet forced to lie there in humiliation due to his lack of power, she revealed a satisfied smile. She slowly raised her upper body, and then...

Who says a Knight can't... ride?

Aoi retorted, explaining, "However, from my contact with Irisviel, although I despise that wicked woman for seducing Jiuan, she probably won't harm him."

"And the Holy Grail War forbids Servants from fighting during the day. Otherwise, they will be besieged by other Servants, Masters, and even the Holy Church and the Mage's Association," she continued. "Although your great power fears none of these—even a great number of enemies are but ants to you—at that time, Jiuan, my two daughters, and the Tohsaka family will have no place left in this world. So, I hope you can, for our sake, restrain your anger just a little."

"Oh? And what if this king insists on going now?"

Aoi lowered her head and said without hesitation, "I will go with you to take him back."

That had been a rational statement born from her love for her daughters. But in reality, Aoi desperately wanted to hold Lin Jiuan in her arms again, right now, to keep him within her sight at all times. If Gilgamesh insisted, she would just run away with her and Lin Jiuan. The Mage's Association and the Holy Church, no matter how depraved, wouldn't take their anger out on two children like Rin and Sakura.

Gilgamesh tilted her chin up slightly, her blood-red eyes looking down on Aoi. The corners of her lips, once a flat line, slowly curled upwards until she burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Aoi, this king is growing more and more fond of you!"

A person driven purely by reason is too dull; one can see through them easily without even using Clairvoyance. A person driven purely by desire is just a mindless lunatic, disgusting to behold. But someone like Aoi Tohsaka—whose desires were incredibly strong, who, after long repression, pathologically craved pleasure, yet could still rely on her love for her daughters and her reason to barely suppress those desires and make a relatively correct choice, but who could still go wild when necessary—that was the most delightful kind of toy!

"Rest assured, Aoi." Gilgamesh stood upon the ruins, the rising sun becoming her backdrop, willingly adorning her from behind.

"Tonight, he will return to your side once more."

The Einzbern Castle.

Irisviel had just left Lin Jiuan's room when she saw Artoria standing not far down the corridor. "Saber, what are you doing here?"

"Surveying the terrain, so that I can rush over immediately if an enemy Servant infiltrates for a sneak attack." Artoria, looking no different from usual aside from her changed hair and eye color, explained seriously, "When in an unfamiliar environment, familiarizing oneself with the local terrain is a knight's duty."

"Saber is so reliable." Irisviel smiled gently, then, as if remembering something, said, "Oh, right, I also need to conduct a thorough inspection of this workshop. Would you like to join me, Saber?"

"No, I will stand guard here, to prevent anyone from sneaking Jiuan away."

Irisviel didn't suspect a thing and nodded with a serious expression. "You're right. We must be careful. After all, Jiuan is so cute, and there are too many bad women outside who covet him."

Watching Irisviel's retreating back, a flash of guilt crossed Artoria's eyes. It was as if two little figures were at war in her mind.

Angel: Artoria, what about the justice and chivalry you've always upheld?

Devil: To hell with chivalry! Can chivalry defend a country? Go! Follow your desires! No, this is to obtain more power! This is for the Holy Grail! This is to save our country!

Angel: Can you do this to Iri and still face her?

Devil: Look at what Archer and her Master have already done to him. One more person won't make a difference. Besides, it's fine as long as Iri doesn't find out, right?

Gradually, the struggle and guilt in Artoria's eyes were replaced by intense desire. After the sound of Irisviel's footsteps had faded for some time, Artoria reached out and gripped the doorknob.

I'm sorry, Iri. I'm a bad woman, too.
