Arthur Pendragon (Prototype)
Still in Pursuit
Bradamante:
Oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh!
Bradamante:
Wh-wh-what do I do!? I never expected to run into another famous Knight of the Round Table!
Bradamante:
It was just yesterday I resolved to always carry an autograph book with me in case I ran into more opportunities to collect signatures, too!
Bradamante:
I can't believe I already failed so miserably!
Bedivere:
Please be at ease, Lady Bradamante.
Bedivere:
We serve the same Master now,
so we can see one another whenever we like.
Bedivere:
That said...I may technically be a Knight of the Round Table...
Bedivere:
...but I am not nearly as accomplished as the other knights, so...
Bedivere:
Um... An autograph, you said?
Bedivere:
I'm afraid I wouldn't feel right giving you one, so I must humbly decline.
Bradamante:
Noooooo!
Bradamante:
P-p-please don't say that! I-i-if I've offended you,
then I beg your forgiveness!!!
Bradamante:
Please, Sir Bedivere!
Bedivere:
N-no, not at all!
If anything, I'm the one who's been–
Bradamante:
I'm so sorry!
Bedivere:
Ah! P-please, don't be!
Bedivere:
I promise I wasn't seeking an apology!
Oh no, now I've gone and said all the wrong things!
Bedivere:
...!
Arthur:
Forgive me, Sir Bedivere.
Arthur:
I did not mean to eavesdrop,
but I happened to be passing by.
Bedivere:
My king!
Bedivere:
Or rather, my king from another world.
I, the unworthy Bedivere, am deeply ashamed.
Bedivere:
I'm afraid I have been unspeakably rude to Lady Bradamante here, a paladin of the Kingdom of the Franks.
Bradamante:
No, no! You haven't been anything of the sort, Sir Bedivere!
Bradamante:
I should never have asked you for the impossible in the first place! O-oh, um...
Bradamante:
May I ask who that is?
Bedivere:
Ah, forgive me.
Bedivere:
This is His Majesty Arthur Pendragon,
Britain's King of Knights.
Bradamante:
!!!
Bradamante:
Arthur Pendragon, the King of Knights!?
I-I-I-I-I can't believe it...!
Bradamante:
Th-this is such a shock... S-so moving...and shocking!
Although, um... Huh?
Bradamante:
I've met the King of Knights here in Chaldea in various forms before, but...I don't recall any of them being...uh, male...
Bradamante:
So...does this mean...
Hmm...?
Bedivere:
To elaborate, he is a being somewhat similar to myself.
Bedivere:
He is something of a guest in this world, a figure who would normally never materialize as a Servant...
Bradamante:
Whaaa...?
Arthur:
I would humbly suggest you think of me as a mere shadow from a dream, paladin Bradamante.
Arthur:
...Sir Bedivere, I may not be your king,
but I do have one word of advice.
Arthur:
There is no harm in giving her an autograph.
Any King of Knights would say the same.
Bedivere:
Yes, my king.
Bradamante:
Then, does this mean I can have Sir Bedivere's autograph after all!? Hooray!
Bradamante:
Oh! Uh, Sir King of Knights!?
Could I ask you for your autograph as well!?
Arthur:
Now then, I think I shall take my leave.
Good day, Lady Bradamante, Sir Bedivere.
Bedivere:
Yes, my king.
Bradamante:
Ah!
Sir King of Knights...!
Bradamante:
He's already gone...
Nnn... Nnnnnn...
Gawain:
You wish to know more about King Arthur?
Gawain:
Hmm. We are indeed the Knights of the Round Table, but I am afraid we have had few opportunities to converse with him.
Gawain:
Though Sir Bedivere would seem to have had more chances than the rest of us.
Bradamante:
I see, I see...
Sanzang:
Hm? What's up?
Sanzang:
Oh, the other Pendragon?
Of course I've met him!
Sanzang:
The Pendragon from Proper Human History's True Name is Altria Pendragon...
Sanzang:
...so in this case, um...
I guess I should say his True Name is Arthur!
Sanzang:
He's really mysterious, isn't he?
There're so much I'd love to ask him!
Sanzang:
You know, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever sat down with him face-to-face. Not even to eat lunch!
Bradamante:
Hmm, I see, I see...
Nursery Rhyme:
He told us some lovely old legends. Didn't he, Jack?
Jack:
Uh-huh. He's really nice. He doesn't get mad if we sit in his lap or climb on his back.
Jack:
Although...
Nursery Rhyme:
Yeah. I know what you mean.
Nursery Rhyme:
He always disappears whenever we take our eyes off him. I don't like that very much.
Bradamante:
Hmmm...
Mordred:
Eh, my father, the one that's a guy? Hmm, I dunno.
I don't think he means any harm.
Bradamante:
I see...
Bradamante:
I think so too! But I also get the feeling he's avoiding me for some reason!
Bradamante:
So if there's something about me he dislikes,
I need to find out what it is and fix it!
Mordred:
Oh yeah?
Bradamante:
All that aside, um... Sir Mordred!
Mordred:
Yeah?
Bradamante:
I know you're the ultimate villain in the legend of King Arthur!
Bradamante:
But...you don't seem to be nearly as bad as I thought, now that I've met you.
Bradamante:
Ah...
Mordred:
The hell'd you say to me?
Mordred:
Bahahahaha! Talk about bein' honest to a fault!
I'm impressed!
Mordred:
You're all right, paladin of Charlemagne! Just make sure you don't slow us down by dyin' too soon, 'kay?
Jekyll:
Is something wrong, Saber? Remember, Lady Murasaki asked you to keep your voice down in the library.
Jekyll:
Hm?
Jekyll:
Saber... Did you do something to this Heroic Spirit?
Mordred:
Nah, it's no biggie.
Mordred:
You know that version of my father who came here from another world? She's worried he's avoiding her.
Jekyll:
Is that true?
Bradamante:
Yes, that about sums it up...
Jekyll:
Hmm...
Jekyll:
...If it helps, he's like that with everyone. The only one he talks to with any regularity is Sir Bedivere.
Jekyll:
He'll respond to the situation if needed, but I don't think I've ever seen him engage with anyone on his own initiative.
Jekyll:
Not even when dealing with Servants he knew in past Holy Grail Wars.
Mordred:
...
...
Jekyll:
I'm one of them. He and I once fought each other, though in a place and time very different from this.
Jekyll:
However, I do not retain a clear memory of that battle...
Bradamante:
Nnn... Nnnnnn...
Bradamante:
I thought I heard that Servants don't usually remember their past materializations...
Bradamante:
Hmm...?
Jekyll:
Chaldea's summoning system is a little unusual in that regard. Every now and then, it summons a Heroic Spirit who remembers their past materializations...or so I'm told.
Jekyll:
Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. It's all I can do to barely recall bits and pieces of my own past.
Jekyll:
Those kinds of memories also affect my Spirit Origin's stability, so...
Bradamante:
Huh?
Jekyll:
Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble there.
Jekyll:
At any rate, Arthur Pendragon tends to keep his distance from just about everyone.
Jekyll:
So please don't worry about it.
I'm sure it's nothing personal.
Hassan of the Serenity:
...And that's all I saw.
Fujimaru 1:
Thanks!
Hassan of the Serenity:
I-it was nothing, really.
I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Fujimaru 2:
I see. Arthur, huh...
Hassan of the Serenity:
Yes. I saw him in the underground library.
Hassan of the Serenity:
I just thought you should know.
I, um, hope I didn't overstep my bounds...
Fujimaru 1:
Not at all. I appreciate this!
Cú Chulainn:
So that's the scoop, huh.
Cú Chulainn:
The former leader of the Knights of the Round Table, wielder of the sacred sword, is now Chaldea's lonesome King of Knights...
Cú Chulainn:
I don't know what he's so worried about.
Who cares if he's from a different world or not?
Cú Chulainn:
Heroic Spirits are supposed to be...
Cú Chulainn:
...
...
Cú Chulainn:
...Ah, well, you know.
Cú Chulainn:
I'm not sure if we can really call him a proper Heroic Spirit or not, so...
Cú Chulainn:
Hmm, yeah, I guess that'd be tough for him.
Fujimaru 1:
What's this now?
Fujimaru 2:
Do you know what's going on with him?
Cú Chulainn:
Haha.
Cú Chulainn:
What do you think?
Fujimaru 1:
Don't change the subject!
Cú Chulainn:
You're right. My bad.
Fujimaru 2:
Is this one of those things where you know but can't say?
Cú Chulainn:
Yeah, pretty much.
You're a sharp one, aren't you, Master?
Cú Chulainn:
Until and unless he says something, it's not my place to talk about it. Especially when I don't even know for sure.
Cú Chulainn:
Why don'tcha just go talk to him about it?
Cú Chulainn:
Maybe it'll turn out that he wasn't avoiding anyone, and this was all just a big misunderstanding.
Cú Chulainn:
Go on and find out. Who cares whether he's inscribed in the Throne or not?
Cú Chulainn:
He's still a Servant you formed a contract with.
If you call for him, I'm sure he'll show up.
Fujimaru 1:
(Nod)
Cú Chulainn:
Right on. Guess I'll go round up some of the family then...
Arash:
Hahahaha! Sure is taking him a while!
Cú Chulainn:
Never would've thought he'd choose Ganryu Island.
Well, I figure he'll show up eventually.
Cú Chulainn:
Say, where's the pharaoh at, hero guy?
Arash:
Oh, he's not coming.
Cú Chulainn:
Well, that was blunt...
Arash:
Said something like “This errand is hardly a matter worthy of my time!” Sorry, Master. You know how he is.
Fujimaru 1:
Oh yes. All too well...
Arash:
Haha, I knew you would. Anyway, just 'cause he's not here now doesn't mean he might not show up later.
Fujimaru 2:
That's okay. Thanks for trying, Arash.
Arash:
No problem!
Mordred:
Can I go home now? If I ain't gonna get a chance to fight my actual man old man, there's no point in me sticking around.
Jekyll:
We're not here to fight him, Saber.
Jekyll:
We just thought it would be easier for him to open up to Master if there were other Servants with a strong connection to him here.
Jekyll:
He might tend to keep to himself at Chaldea, but there have been points in the past where he's initiated contact with other Servants.
Jekyll:
Specifically, the ones he fought against in 1991 and 1999...
Jekyll:
...during the two Holy Grail Wars that took place in a different world.
Mordred:
Oh, I get it. Mordred doesn't get to have any fun...
Jekyll:
No, no, Saber, it's not about that...
Arash:
Haha. Don't worry about it, Doc.
Arash:
Mordred's King Arthur's kid, right? Even if these two are from different worlds, they're not total strangers.
Mordred:
What he said, Doc.
Jekyll:
Doc...
Arash:
Anyway, what about you? Your Spirit Origin isn't exactly, uh, what it used to be, right...?
Jekyll:
...So you could tell. You're perceptive as always.
Jekyll:
True, my Spirit Origin is still unstable.
But I also know I'll be fine as long as I'm not alone.
Jekyll:
If nothing else, I can maintain my mental state even if my body changes with my Noble Phantasm.
Fujimaru 1:
I'm glad to hear that.
Fujimaru 2:
We should have tea sometime, Jekyll.
Jekyll:
I would love that.
Jekyll:
Although...I should warn you that my Spirit Origin tends to waver when it's just us.
But as long as Lady Kyrielight–
Hassan of the Serenity:
...Master.
Cú Chulainn:
Right. Sorry to cut you guys off, but it looks like the man of the hour's finally arrived.
Arthur:
...I see the gang's all here, Master.
Fujimaru 1:
I thought having them around would make it easier to talk.
Arthur:
I see.
You may be right about that.
Fujimaru 2:
Would you rather it was just us?
Arthur:
I'm not sure.
I might end up dodging your questions if it was.
Cú Chulainn:
Just so you know, we're not here to make trouble for you or anything. Not unless Master gives the okay, and we all know that's not the sort of [♂ guy he /♀️ gal she] is.
Cú Chulainn:
I'm just gonna get straight to the point.
Cú Chulainn:
You're avoiding everyone at Chaldea, aren't you,
King of Knights? It's pretty damn obvious.
Arthur:
...Yes, I am.
Arthur:
I've been doing my best not to interact with anyone more than strictly necessary.
Arthur:
All the more so when it comes to beings with deep ties to this world.
Cú Chulainn:
Well, that's awfully straightforward of you.
Arthur:
It was never my intention to hide anything.
I simply never brought it up of my own accord.
Arthur:
But if I've caused you to worry by doing so,
Master, I will always be happy to apologize.
Arthur:
I would never want to worry you.
Fujimaru 1:
It's not that, Arthur.
Fujimaru 2:
It's okay. I'm not looking for an apology.
Arthur:
...I do not belong in this world.
Arthur:
I am but a traveler who came from a faraway land in pursuit of a single, specific goal.
Arthur:
Of course, I am happy to help you, Master. If my sword can help save this planet and bring it a new tomorrow, then I will gladly lend it to your cause.
Arthur:
I will never betray you, and I will continue to fight as the modern-day wielder of the sacred sword.
Arthur:
That said...I came here to eradicate evil before it has a chance to spread in the future.
Arthur:
Once my work here is done, I expect I will be sent back to my own world.
Arthur:
Therefore–
Arash:
Hold up!
Arash:
Just relax a bit, would you? I could've sworn you were a little more laid back in 1999.
Arash:
I get that you're here on a mission, but there's no law that says travelers can't make friends.
Arash:
Right, Master?
Fujimaru 1:
Right.
Arthur:
...
...
Fujimaru 1:
You're part of the team now. It's okay to act like it.
Fujimaru 2:
So come on, have some fun with us!
Arthur:
...Fujimaru.
Arthur:
You may well be right.
But even so...
Arthur:
...I want to leave as few traces of myself in this world as possible. You see, I had a premonition of sorts that–
Cú Chulainn:
I can tell you're still not being straight with us.
Mordred:
Hell no he ain't. Just shut up already, old man!
There's nothing to talk about!
Mordred:
If he won't listen to reason, then I guess I get to–er, have to beat some into him!
Jekyll:
Saber–
Mordred:
You stay out of this.
Mordred:
Y'know, I just remembered something.
I've still gotta pay you back for that one time!
Fran:
Uh...
Mordred:
You feel like cake?
Mordred:
Cake sounds good.
And hey, I think Cat and Boudica were just makin' some.
Mordred:
Let's go get ourselves a slice!
Fran:
Uh!
Mordred:
Right on.
...Oh hey, if it isn't my male father!
Mordred:
Yo, pops!
Let's go get us some cake!
Mordred:
Hm? That's weird. He just not hear me or something...?
Fran:
Uh...
Mordred:
What? 'Course it wasn't 'cause he didn't want to eat with you, Fran.
Mordred:
...
...
Mordred:
You ran off without sayin' a word!
Mordred:
Not a damn word!!!
Mordred:
Who the hell just runs off without a word after giving the person inviting them for cake nothing but a funny look!?
Mordred:
That does it! Nobody does that to me!
Especially not my old man!
Mordred:
I remember now! I knew I had a good reason to beat your ass!
Cú Chulainn:
Mordred's got a point, Arthur! No gentleman or knight should turn down an invite without at least giving a response!
Arash:
Hahahaha, looks like you're outnumbered, Saber.
What're you gonna do now?
Arthur:
What can I do?
Arthur:
You're right. I was rude to you back then. The least I can do now is face my punishment with some dignity.
Arthur:
Have at you, Mordred!
Mordred:
Now that's more like it! Let's go, Master! Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill him. I'm just gonna beat the everliving shit outta him!
Jekyll:
But if you do that, you'll...! Oh, forget it!
I'll just have to step in if things get out of hand!
Fujimaru 1:
E-easy does it now!
Fujimaru 2:
Try to hold back, Mordred!
Mordred:
All right Clarent, it's been too long since I gave you a taste of your favorite blood! Let's fix that right now!
--BATTLE--:
Mordred:
Hah! Figures this version of you'd be tough too!
Mordred:
But at least I got a good one in for Fran! Didja see!?
Cú Chulainn:
I got a few good hits in too...but damn, you really are a tough bastard! Almost pisses me off how seasoned you are!
Cú Chulainn:
Don't hold back, Arash!
We'll never pin him down unless we go all out!
Arash:
I'm just doing the same thing I always do.
That goes for you too, right, Missy?
Serenity:
I-I try not to get too involved with warrior types...
Jekyll:
I'm glad I decided to sit this one out. Hyde might be able to keep up, but there's no way I could!
Fujimaru 1:
All right, that's enough!
Fujimaru 2:
Everyone stand down! This battle is over!
Mordred:
Huh!? But we were just starting to have fun!
Arthur:
...I suppose I'd best not push my luck,
given my overwhelming disadvantage.
Cú Chulainn:
Ha! Looks like the Red Dragon of Britain's still confident enough to make wisecracks. Just don't forget, you're not the only one who knows his opponent's tricks.
Arthur:
Confident?
Arthur:
No. That's impossible. There is never a time nor a place when I do not consider myself to be on the battlefield.
Arthur:
...
...
Fujimaru 1:
Arthur, that's...
Fujimaru 2:
That must mean you never get to enjoy a moment's peace.
Arthur:
I...
Arthur:
Khh! This powerful magical energy pouring down from the sky... Is that–
Ozymandias:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Hahahahaha! Behold the descent of the sun!
Ozymandias:
I was told that vengeance was to be had upon a certain insolent wielder of the sacred sword, so I have come to lend my aid!
Ozymandias:
Hmm, it would seem that my way is blocked by rabble! This must be remedied! I shall begin by clearing the field!
Fujimaru 1:
Ozymandias!?
Fujimaru 2:
H-hey, watch it! This is seriously dangerous!
Serenity:
Master! This way!
Serenity:
I'll take you somewhere safe–
Arash:
Missy, behind you!
Serenity:
Huh!?
Serenity:
A-a Sphinx!?
Jekyll:
More powerful magical energy readings are right behind it! Saber, keep Master safe!
Arthur:
...Was he just talking to you?
Mordred:
Shut your damn mouth!
Mordred:
We can get back to our tussle later! If you got time to act cool, then you got time to protect Master!
Cú Chulainn:
Well, whaddaya know.
He was the first in line to keep Master safe.
Arash:
Of course. That's just the kind of guy he is.
Arash:
Even when he was fighting us,
he always kept one eye on Master.
Arash:
He must've wanted to be able to act at a moment's notice in case it looked like [♂ he /♀️ she] might be in any danger.
Arash:
In that sense, I don't think he's any different from you, the red Saber, Doc, or Missy.
Cú Chulainn:
Are you shitting me? Ugh, I knew I hated that guy!
Arash:
Hahahaha!
Arthur:
He truly isn't holding back at all.
What is the meaning of this, Ozymandias!?
Ozymandias:
Is that a joke, wielder of the sacred sword!?
You should know better than any why I am doing this.
Ozymandias:
Now reflect on your misdeeds, and let the rays of the sun's light scatter your ashes!
Arthur:
Khh...!
Arthur:
...Master, it looks as though Ozymandias means business. So there is something I wish to ask of you.
Arthur:
I, um... I would like to keep you safe.
Will you let me?
Mordred:
Hey! What do you think you're doing here?
Jekyll:
I'd like to know that too.
Arthur:
H-huh? I-I'm not quite sure what you're insinuating,
but whatever it is, it's not what I meant!
Arthur:
All I'm asking is that Master let me fight by [♂ his /♀️ her] side, just this once!
Fujimaru 1:
You don't need to ask that!
Fujimaru 2:
Of course! I've never thought of you as an enemy, anyway!
Arthur:
...Thank you, Master.
Mordred:
Haha! So we're up against a bunch of Divine Beasts from the Age of Gods, huh! This oughta be a good way to kill time, huh, Bean Sprout!?
Jekyll:
This is really not the time to be joking...
Arthur:
I know these beasts are not truly alive. They are merely constructs given form by God-King Ozymandias's magical energy.
Arthur:
Nonetheless, there is meaning in form. I wish to inflict neither pain nor suffering if I can help it.
Arthur:
However, if the god-king means to attack us without so much as a word of warning...
Arthur:
...then I will not hesitate to wield my sacred sword!
--BATTLE--:
Romulus:
Romans!
Romulus:
Hear me, my children of Rome, and stay your blades.
Hear me, sacred beasts, and bare your fangs no more.
Romulus:
Any further bloodshed would be meaningless.
Cease your warring at once.
Fujimaru 1:
Holy Progenitor!?
Fujimaru 2:
Wh-what are you doing here, Romulus?
Arthur:
Holy Progenitor Romulus!
Jekyll:
Wh-why is the Holy Progenitor of Rome here!? Not only that, his magical energy is far, far greater than usual!
Ozymandias:
He said he could not bear to see his children fighting amongst themselves, so I brought him along with me. Hmph.
Ozymandias:
As the son of a god, Romulus ascended to the greatest rank of his mythology. Even I cannot ignore his pleas.
Romulus:
...Arthur Pendragon, the Red Dragon of Britain.
Romulus:
I am Rome, and Rome is I. As all roads lead to Rome,
so do I possess knowledge of all things.
Romulus:
And so, my child, I know where your destination lies.
Ahh, my dear child.
Romulus:
This may not be where your journey will ultimately end, but it is a fine place to stop and gaze up at the stars.
Romulus:
You are so focused on what tomorrow brings that you pay the sky no heed, but that is a mistake, my child.
Romulus:
As you have paused your journey for now, this is the time to cast your gaze upward and behold the stars.
Romulus:
Indeed, it is for that purpose that you have come here.
Arthur:
...
Romulus:
Look to the stars. The great calamity you have been pursuing will come from beyond their borders.
Fujimaru 1:
Calamity...?
Arthur:
...
...
Arthur:
......
Arthur:
...I pursue something truly wicked.
Arthur:
...A great Beast that will come from far beyond to devour everything in its path.
Arthur:
The Sixth Beast will surely rear its head someday.
That is why I am here.
Jekyll:
A Beast...
Arthur:
It is known as Beast VI and it is one of the great Evils of Humanity, as fearsome as any of the others you have defeated.
Fujimaru 1:
So that's what you've been looking for all this time.
Arthur:
Indeed.
Arthur:
Now that Beast I has appeared in this world, it is only a matter of time until Beast VI follows suit.
Arthur:
When it does, it will devour everything. People... Cities... Prosperity... Corruption... All of civilization.
Arthur:
In a different world,
I...we, managed to defeat it twice...
Arthur:
...but my world's Merlin told me Beast VI would come once again.
Arthur:
My goal...my duty, is to defeat it a third and final time.
Arthur:
...I'm sorry, Master. I wasn't sure what to do.
Arthur:
All this time, I've been thinking I needed to fulfill this duty on my own.
Arthur:
But I was wrong. I should have told you what I'm about to say the moment we formed a contract.
Arthur:
Master, please lend me your strength, that I may win this battle. In return I will devote myself to helping you succeed in yours.
Fujimaru 1:
You've got a deal, Arthur Pendragon.
Arthur:
Thank you, Master.
Arthur:
When that time comes, I hope I can count on your help as well, Heroic Spirits of Chaldea.
Mordred:
Ha! You think there's even a chance we'd sit out for a fight against a goddamn Beast!?
Mordred:
If and when this thing shows up, I'll cut it down to size whether you ask me to or not!
Cú Chulainn:
You said it!
I think you and I'll get along just fine, Scion of Pendragon!
Mordred:
That makes one of us...
Cú Chulainn:
Huh!?
Arash:
Haha, hey, you know what they say. We're all in this boat together, so we'd better make sure it doesn't sink!
Serenity:
I...don't think that's how it goes...
Jekyll:
Y-yeah. There must be a better way to put that!
Ozymandias:
Very well then. It would seem our business here is concluded, so I will take my leave! Romulus, who became Quirinus, show us out!
Romulus:
We are Rome!
--ARROW--:
Fujimaru 1:
So?
Arthur:
...Hm?
Fujimaru 1:
Are you going to get along with everyone now?
Fujimaru 2:
I was hoping you would try to be more sociable from now on...
Arthur:
...Ah, right.
That is what this was originally about, was it not?
Arthur:
I surrender, Master. I've learned my lesson.
Arthur:
Besides, I did think that if many Heroic Spirits, or even just you yourself, were to confront me about this...
Arthur:
...I would need to reconsider my approach to staying here.
Arthur:
I was hoping to stay out of sight,
but I never wished to cause any trouble.
Arthur:
Thank you again for having me here, Fujimaru.
Serenity:
...It's over.
Serenity:
It looks like the problem has been resolved. He should get along better with the other Servants from now on...
Serenity:
...
...
Serenity:
I'm glad I asked for your help with this.
Serenity:
I would never have been able to figure out by myself whether I should tell Master what I saw in the library.
Paracelsus:
I'm just glad everything has come together as it should. I truly am.
Serenity:
Me too.
Serenity:
By the way, um... Are you sure about this, Paracelsus?
Serenity:
Don't you want to talk to this otherworldly King of Knights yourself?
Paracelsus:
I'm sure.
Serenity:
...
...
Serenity:
I don't know anything about the Holy Grail War you two fought in, so...I don't know the right thing to say...
Serenity:
But, I do know that...
Serenity:
...it's...sad that you're avoiding him.
Paracelsus:
Thank you. You really are a kind soul at heart.
Paracelsus:
But it's all right.
Just hearing you say that is all I need...
Bradamante:
Hm hm hmm♪
Bradamante:
Where, oh where, could Ruggiero beee♪
Merlin, Lord Merlin, please show me the waaay♪
Bradamante:
Ah! Those footsteps... This presence...!
Could it be!?
Arthur:
Oh. If it isn't–
Bradamante:
O-oh gosh! Your Majesty, King of Knights!
Bradamante:
I, um, I'm so sorry about pressuring you for an autograph the other day!
Bradamante:
I feel terrible about it! I should've known better than to ask Your Majesty of all people for–
Arthur:
Wait, Lady Bradamante.
Arthur:
I am the one who should apologize to you.
My behavior the other day was truly unworthy of a knight.
Bradamante:
Wha...? H-huh?
Arthur:
Lady Bradamante, I never even introduced myself properly.
Arthur:
If it's not too much to ask, would you permit me to start over and introduce myself properly?
Bradamante:
Y-yes! O-o-of course!
Bradamante:
Oh, but...are you sure it's okay for a lowly knight like me to speak to the great King of Knights like this...?
Arthur:
Of course it is. You and I are comrades now,
both sworn to serve the same Master.
Arthur:
I am a Saber. My True Name is Arthur Pendragon.
Arthur:
I am the modern-day wielder of the sacred sword,
and the King of Knights who hails from another world!
