Fiore, who was sitting in the wheelchair, looked at the wildflowers that were everywhere with a gentle expression, but from the corners of her eyebrows, one could still see that her heart at this time was not as calm as it appeared, but at this moment, the wheelchair that had been steadily moving forward suddenly stopped.
"Lancer..."
"Snap~!"
Fiore, who had turned around, was hugged by Lancer before she could even react, and what made her even more unbelievable were Lancer words and actions next.
"My Lady! I'm sorry! I really can't stand it anymore! I can't even hug you in the castle!"
Feeling the hot breath by her ear, her cheeks turned slightly red, and a thought flashed through her mind——————Is Lancer crazy? My Lady? What is he talking about?
Fiore was completely stunned. She had no idea what was happening, and she didn't know what Lancer wanted to do, but she knew that she had to resist, not just as a woman, but also for her own safety.
Her brother had reminded her more than once about the danger of Lancer as an outsider magician. Although she herself was also wary of the other party, she didn't really care, after all, Darnic had chosen to trust the other party, so he must have his own trump card, but what she didn't expect was that Lancer would directly 'assault' her at this time.
Although she was privately called a 'helpless lady' by her brother, as a standard magician, she knew about the special magic called 'mana transfer' and some basic common sense between men and women. When Darnic asked her to 'capture Lancer', she had already prepared herself mentally, but because she didn't know much about this, she took the simplest approach of 'constantly making contact with the other party'. In her opinion, her efforts had some effect, at least Lancer no longer resisted contact with her (in reality, Lancer was trying to counter her), but she still didn't expect that Lancer would make a move at this time.
'Should I refuse? I...'
"Don't resist. Someone is in ambush nearby."
Lancer words in her ear made Fiore, who was originally blushing and at a loss, completely stunned, but before she could react, she felt her face being held, and Lancer, who was originally bent over, pressed against her.
The two's lips stopped just a little bit away, but due to Lancer hand blocking them and the angle of their bodies, other people couldn't see.
But even so, the hot breath of the two of them still sprayed on each other's faces.
Looking at the girl who was as helpless as a small animal, and feeling the other party's rapid breathing, Lancer couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but he had no intention of letting go of the other party.
He had some experience in dealing with assassins. When he was a detective, he was often ambushed by ghouls, and when he was a general, he was often assassinated by people sent by Honest. He was completely certain of his guess.
What's most terrifying about assassins is that they are in the dark, and the person being attacked is in the light. They don't know when or where they will be attacked, but when they lose this advantage, the situation of both sides will be reversed, and it becomes simple to deal with them. But Lancer still did this. He planned to hide his strength, and by turning from the victim into the attacker, he could save a lot of effort.
Lancer 'scheme' undoubtedly achieved good results. The 'Seal Designation Enforcement Unit' of the Clock Tower, who were hiding in the dark, originally aimed to capture people from Yggdmillennia on the outskirts of the castle, but they didn't expect to run into Fiore. And Lancer 'strange' action made those enforcers feel angry but also relieved. After all, no one likes to be fed dog food, but the relief was because it now seemed that the mission would be a lot simpler. After all, a person's attention would undoubtedly decrease during 'SEX', and this was the best time to make a move!
Two enforcers who were good at magic quietly prepared their spells, striving to cast them instantly when they made a move, while another enforcer who was responsible for being the vanguard quietly infiltrated. In order not to be discovered, he didn't even activate the magical mystic code on his body.
Doing this would undoubtedly make him more dangerous, but when had it not been dangerous after being a Seal Designation Enforcer for so long? He was already accustomed to it and had long since put life and death out of his mind, all for the sake of pursuing a higher success rate.
But just as he was carefully infiltrating and his hand had even reached for the dagger on his waist, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him.
"Ding~!"
The dagger and the ice spear that was stabbing at him clashed, making a crisp sound, but before he could be happy for too long, he felt a coldness behind him...
"Bang!!"
He, who had been hit hard, fell softly to the ground, not even knowing what had happened.
That person didn't know what had happened, but his two companions saw everything clearly. When their companion turned around to deal with the ice spear, the Eastern man who was originally holding Fiore's face decisively turned and delivered a hand chop to his neck.
'We've been discovered!'
The two of them were not stupid. They realized that they had been exposed almost at the same time. They didn't even communicate with each other. One of them threw the spell he had prepared and then turned and ran, while the other also released a spell but did not retreat. Instead, he prepared a second spell. There was no doubt that he was going to cover the rear.
But would Lancer give them a chance?
"Snap~"
He put up an ice wall in front of him with his right hand to block the two's spells. The intense high temperature even stirred up a gust of mist, but just as that person was guessing whether Lancer would appear from the left or the right——————
"Bang!!"
Lancer, who had jumped down from the sky, kicked him unconscious, and then held his shoulders with both hands——————
"Hah!!"
Along with a shout, that person turned into a shooting star and flew towards the last attacker.
Although Lancer was tall, he didn't look like a strongman without his muscles showing through his clothes, so the other party never expected that Lancer would throw his companion at him as a weapon. When he made up his mind to use a spell to blow his companion away, he saw a cold face...
"Bang!!"
On a huge mirror, the scene of Lancer knocking out the three Seal Designation Enforcers of the Clock Tower was playing, and Vlad III, who was sitting on the other side, was tapping his cheek with his finger without any expression.
"Darnic, do you still believe your plan can succeed now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In the face of the Great Prince's question, Darnic's face still held a confident smile.
"When I let him out before, no matter where he was in the entire castle, he was targeted by at least several spells. If he made any strange move, he would instantly turn into residue, but he chose to endure, so he survived. That man is waiting for an opportunity. At least before he summons a servant, he is 'safe', just like today, but————"
Speaking of this, the smile on Darnic's face grew wider.
"He probably doesn't even know that his life is always in my hands. Too much pressure on this kind of man will only make the other party choose to die with me. I give him a certain amount of living space, and he will be more at ease. And even a tiger, if it acts like a cat for too long, will forget how to be a tiger!"
In the face of Darnic's confident words, Vlad III's response was simple.
"Hehe~"
Vlad III's arrogant expression made Darnic's heart a little unhappy, but considering that the other party was the most important part of his next plan, he could only endure it.
And at this time, the finger that the Great Prince was using to tap his cheek suddenly stopped.
As a man who commanded the entire principality and even became a devil to protect his country, his eyesight and decision-making ability were far beyond ordinary people, but he did not intend to say anything more, after all, the two sides were just 'partners'.
He would help the other party resist the attack of the 'Clock Tower', and the other party would offer the Holy Grail to him so he could completely erase that dirty rumor. That was all. The two sides were just partners, not even a lord and a vassal.
Since he had already spoken and the other party didn't care at all, then he would just see the other party's final outcome.
'If that man doesn't make a move in three days, then he will definitely choose to make a move after the Holy Grail War ends. What a pity, I might not be able to see this good show.'
In Vlad III's eyes, Darnic was an arrogant and foolish person. He had seen many people like this. Most of them ended up dying because of the very thing they were most proud of. As for the rest? If they were lucky enough to escape a disaster, they might have a chance to wake up.
But Darnic on the other side also appeared incredibly calm.
How could he not know what the other party was saying?
He had worked so hard for the family. How could he not have a backup plan?
During the time Lancer was unconscious, he had already carved the 'soul transfer' spell onto the other party's body. As long as the two of them were within a certain distance, he could activate it instantly.
As for being discovered by Lancer? Not to mention whether the other party understood this kind of spell, the fact that their family's homunculus technology was crowned as the number one in the magical world after the Einzbern family was greatly damaged in the Third Holy Grail War gave him confidence that he would not be discovered by Lancer. Plus, as long as it wasn't activated, it was just a colorless tattoo. How could it be discovered?
As soon as that man was no longer useful, he would make a move on him without hesitation!
In Vlad III's eyes, Darnic was an arrogant fool, and in Darnic's eyes, his servant was just a clever idiot.
It could be said that Vlad III, who had one of the best stats among the heroic spirits of this era, coupled with the legend bonus of Romania as his home ground and the EX-rank 'Guardian Oni General' he held, and finally, the fact that he and his master had no conflict over the Holy Grail, he was almost invincible, as long as the two of them could cooperate normally...
