"Roy, she..." Saber began hesitantly, looking at Mordred, who was being carried by Roy.

Mordred had just attacked them. Should they really take her back home?

"Don't worry, Saber. Kids need to be disciplined to behave. You're not being a very good father, are you?" Roy teased, wagging his finger at Saber.

Saber sighed. "Fine."

She also had complicated feelings towards Mordred.

She couldn't bring herself to kill her own child.

"Hey! Where are you taking me? Let me go!" Mordred protested, finally regaining her senses and struggling in Roy's arms.

Roy simply spanked her a few more times, and she quieted down.

...

Back At The Mansion.

Rin glared at Roy as he entered with Mordred.

"You're quite efficient—aren't you? Going out for a bit and bringing back another little girl. Are you some kind of lolicon?" she remarked sarcastically.

Roy, annoyed by her snide comment, set Mordred down and approached Rin with a menacing aura.

"W-What are you doing?!" Rin stammered, intimidated.

She regretted her words. Why did she have to provoke him?

But it was too late for regrets now.

Roy continued walking towards her, and Rin backed away until she was cornered against the wall.

Roy placed his hand beside her head, trapping her in a—Kabedon.

He leaned closer, examining her face. Rin's eyes darted nervously, unable to meet his gaze.

Roy gently lifted her chin and kissed her.

"Mhmm..." Rin's eyes widened in surprise.

Her first kiss had been stolen just like that.

After a while, Roy finally released her.

"That's what you get for being mean to me—Next time you try that, I'll punish you properly. Understand?" he whispered playfully in her ear.

Rin nodded instinctively.

Roy let her go.

"Onee-chan, why were you so mean to Roy-onii-chan?" Sakura scolded, not showing any sympathy for Rin's predicament.

Rin felt like crying. Even her own sister wasn't on her side.

"Let me introduce everyone—" Roy said, pulling Mordred over and having her sit beside him.

He kept his hand on Mordred's head, preventing her from escaping despite her struggles.

Sakura, Medea, and the others looked at Mordred curiously, then at Artoria.

They noticed the striking resemblance between the two.

They looked almost identical.

"This is Mordred. She's my new maid from now on," Roy announced.

"What? A maid?! I refuse!" Mordred protested, waving her arms. But she couldn't break free from Roy's grasp.

"I know you're happy. There's no need to be so excited," Roy teased.

"I'm not happy!" Mordred retorted.

"Such a naughty child." Roy sighed and spanked her again.

Humiliated—Mordred finally settled down.

"Is she related to Saber?" Irisviel asked, noticing the resemblance.

"Haha, Mordred is actually Saber's daughter. She was also summoned unexpectedly," Roy explained briefly.

The girls weren't surprised. It would be strange if they weren't related, given their similar appearance.

"Why have there been so many unexpected Servants summoned lately?" Rin wondered with a frown.

First, it was Scathach, and now Mordred. What was going on with this Holy Grail War?

"Don't worry about it," Roy said dismissively.

He knew the reason, of course. Alaya had summoned Scathach and Mordred to deal with him.

But he didn't care. He even welcomed it.

He hoped Alaya would summon more Servants.

Like Jeanne d'Arc, Kiyohime, Nero Claudius, Tamamo-no-Mae...

"By the way, Rin, why haven't you gone back yet? Do you want to stay the night? You're welcome to," Roy said, noticing that it was getting late.

"I-I'm going home now. Goodbye!" Rin exclaimed, flustered.

She quickly left, afraid of being "kept" by Roy...

...

"Hahaha..." Roy laughed, watching Rin flee in a panic.

He then thought to himself, 'Since Alaya summoned those Servants to deal with me, there must be others hiding in Fuyuki City.'

'Should I go find them and take them out tonight?'

He decided to go with that plan.

He informed Sakura and the others.

"Roy-onii-chan, won't that attract the attention of other Masters?" Sakura asked worriedly.

Five official Servants had already appeared, summoned by their respective Masters.

Not counting Scathach and Mordred, who were summoned irregularly.

They were Medusa, Medea, Artoria, the now-deceased Lancer, and Ishtar.

There were still two Masters and Servants unaccounted for.

"Don't worry, Sakura. They're just two cowards. It doesn't matter," Roy replied dismissively.

He had fought several battles already, but the remaining two Masters hadn't shown themselves. They were probably too scared.

And even if they did appear, they would just be lambs to the slaughter.

Sakura nodded, trusting Roy completely.

...

That night, they put their plan into action.

Roy's magic enveloped Fuyuki City, and he quickly found several Servants.

"Alaya has really prepared a grand feast for me," he said with a smirk.

"Did you find them, Roy-onii-chan?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Yes, I did. Let's go say hello," Roy replied, then waved his hand, creating a magic circle beneath their feet.

They vanished.

...

They reappeared in Ryuudou Temple.

"Who... who are you?" a trembling voice asked.

They turned to see a young man staring at them with fear.

"You're... Issei Ryuudou?" Roy recognized him as the son of the temple's priest. He was also the student council president of Homurahara Academy.

He was just a minor character in the original story.

"How do you know my name?" Issei asked, relieved that they knew him.

At least they weren't complete strangers. He should be safe.

"Don't worry about that," Roy said with a shrug, then snapped his fingers, putting Issei to sleep.

"Roy-onii-chan, why are we here?" Sakura asked.

Roy patted her head. "Because there's a Servant here. And this is where the Greater Grail is located."

"The Greater Grail?" Sakura was surprised. She hadn't expected it to be here.

"Yes."

"But the Holy Grail War hasn't ended yet. Why is the Grail here?"

"Well, it's like this..." Roy patiently explained.

They descended into the underground chamber beneath the temple.

There, a massive magic circle was etched into the floor. This was where the Greater Grail was located.

The magic circle was used to gather magical energy from Fuyuki's ley lines and store it for the Holy Grail War.

Once enough magical energy was accumulated, the summoning ritual could be performed.

If the magical energy from the previous war wasn't completely depleted, the next war would start sooner.

Roy had drained the Greater Grail's magical energy ten years ago, but it had already replenished itself.

But Roy wasn't interested in the Greater Grail. He was here for the black-clad figure standing within the magic circle.

She wore black armor, wielded a black and red sword, and exuded an air of authority.

They recognized her instantly. It was Artoria.

But this Artoria didn't have an ahoge.

This was Saber Alter, the corrupted version of Artoria.

Roy was surprised that Alaya had even summoned Saber Alter.

But he was also pleased. If Saber Alter was here, then other versions of Saber might be present as well.

He was starting to think he might be able to collect all seven Sabers and summon a dragon.

"Who are you?" Saber asked, looking at Saber Alter with confusion.

Was this another one of her "daughters"?

But Saber Alter didn't answer.

She simply glared at them with cold eyes.

"Let me explain," Roy said, seeing that Saber Alter wouldn't speak.

"She's also you, Artoria. But she's your corrupted form."

"My corrupted form?" Saber was even more confused now.
