chapter 13

Four years after the bandit fortress.....

Sirius could be seen in his temporary workshop that he made in King Leodegrance. He was currently messing with a small leather pouch, his previous experiments all point to it being possible.

Space Expansion.

Stretching the space of the unobserved, allowing more things to be put inside. As long as someone doesn't look inside or destroy the bag then the spell will not break. The owner didn't even have to look inside the bag as all they had to do was spread their mana and think of the desired object then it would come into their hand.

BANG!

"Sirius! Come out here right now!" Artoria's voice echoed through the room, and an agitated Sirius could be seen turning around facing Artoria. He changed a lot over the four years sense the fortress. He was now 188 centimeters tall and his muscles filled out his black tunic and pants that was always wrapped in his red robe.

His brown hair was curly and went to just below his ears. He had stubble growing in and he had bloodshot eyes from sleep deprivation making him look like a drunk alcoholic bum. "What! Can't you see I'm working here?!"

"Get out of this messy room and go outside! You have not once visited with anyone through our entire stay within King Leodegrance castle! You haven't even met his daughter Princess Guinevere, have you?"

Sirius grumbled as he paused his experiment and casted a traction spell on his red robe causing it to fly off the hanger and wrap itself around him.

"And make sure you look presentable before the royalty. Wouldn't want the king to think badly of us now do we." then she left as Sirius casted a spell that cleaned him up as if just got of the bath.

Then his red robe flew off the hanger and onto his shoulders draping him completely. Arcane was sitting on the shelf before it vibrated and flew off into Sirius's hand which was then holsered.

…

Outside the room Lancelot could be seen patiently waiting for Sirius to come out so that they could go meet the king and start talking about alliances.

The door opened to reveal a clean, aristocratic Sirius draped in his red robe that hid a sliver chest plate over the black tunic and Arcane on his hip.

"Ahah! Dear nephew! I guessing you are the one His Majesty sent to escort me to the meeting? Good lad!" The Sirius walked up to him and patted his shoulder before strafing past him.

"Do you even know where you're going uncle?"

"Scanned this whole place two seconds ago. I know everything that's going on in this place, like the maids gossiping in hallways or the visiting nobles having sex in the garden-"

"Too much information thank you very much! Sigh.... You do realize that it is not polite to spy on other peoples business much less watch two people in intercourse?"

"One, I am the worst role model possible for a knight. Two, watching the two women have sex in the garden is enjoyable to say the least.

"But it-" Lancelot stopped before taking that information in. "Two wom-"

"Yep! But there is two other nobles having an affair in their guest room so yeah. Remember nephew affairs are bad~"

Sirius laughed at Lancelot as he gawked at the information of the happenings in the castle.

Sirius shook his head at the display. "And yet I am the uncle. Man life sure does throw us curveballs!"

Then he walked off leaving the exasperated Lancelot to catch up to him. He couldn't even catch up with half the stuff his adoptive uncle said most of the time.

…

In a room with a long wooden table. Sitting across both sides was King Leodegrance, and his daughter Princess Guinevere. On the other side sat Artoria, Kay, Gawain, Bedivere, Percival, Tristan, Gaheris, Gareth, Palamedes, and finally Agravain. Merlin stood behind Artoria as her advisor as always.

Then when the two doors opened they were greeted with Lancelot and Sirius.

"I apologize your majesties, I was in the middle of an experiment and lost track of time." Sirius bowed as an 'apology' for his actions."

King Leodegrance simply shook his head and accepted his apology. "It is most alright Sir Sirius Wilhelm, I know that you are unlike most of the knights of the Roundtable and are not just the Knight of Mystery but also the Magus of Secrets."

Sirius bowed again. "Thank you for your understanding." He stood behind Artoria next to Merlin while Lancelot sat next to his son Galahad. The discussion resumed and the talks between the two were going well, all they needed was to get something done and they would be golden.

"There's a tower about four kilometers west of here. It houses a mage, specifically a necromancer. His name is Iratus, no last name. He has terrorized my territory amassing bodies for his growing undead army, my soldiers are not equipped to deal with such a thing, you are."

Artoria nodded and the knights of the round got up, ready to slay a necromancer.

…

While the planning was going on for the attack, Morgan was scheming. In her hand was a back blade with red accents.

"Iratus is a powerful necromancer. I can give him this and he can create a undead capable of wielding it, leading to my dear sisters demise and my rise to the throne~"

Then she turned to the knight currently sitting with her awaiting her orders.

"Agravain you are to take this sword that holds my curse and deliver it to Iratus now!"

She screech her orders and Agravain got up and left with the cursed sword.

…

In a cold dead place that seemed to spew death sat a black robed individual. He was working on a Childs corpse when he was interrupted by a skeletal bird cawing at him in alarm. The man stopped to look at the bird before dropping his utensils inside the boys body getting them dirtied amongst the guts and blood.

"What is it Three?" The mans cold indifferent voice echoed up and down the stairway the two were climbing.

The bird cawed as the climbed the tower. The man, seemingly understanding nodded his head and opened the door to his main laboratory where many contraptions lay, waiting to be used as their master desires.

With a swing of his hand the 'roof' opened up as if thousands upon thousands of bugs were crawling which wasn't very far from the truth. Then he looked up and looked in the direction of the incoming army led by Artoria.

His eyes glowed red as his vision zoomed in and he got a good look what he was contending with, but his inspection stopped when saw something that interested him greatly.

"Ho...That witch did say their was a unique product amongst them and that I should get rid of them immediately. They are quite peculiar.... A human, more aptly put a king and with him is a human with a magic crest from the witch's information. No matter soon they will be on my operating tables either way.""

The man continued to talk to himself analyzing the specimens that were walking to his doorstep in his usual emotionless attitude.
