"yo, kid have you finish with your job?"

"Mr. Kairi, no we are thinking of relocating to the secret base of Alex."

"Kid you can stop calling me Mr. , just call me Kairi, did you see where's Alex went, I need talk to him."

"it seems the Saintess drag Alex to behind the wall over there."

while both of them were talking Jeanne was walking from behind the wall and was carrying Alex with a piggyback, seeing this both Sieg and Kairi was shocked.

"Ruler what happen to Alex?"

"it seems he is tired because of dealing with Berserker."

"then where's is Assassin of Black."

"it seems he sent him to do something."

"this is bad, the leader of our group fainted, well it's not like we need to make a move now, since the plan will proceed after the confirmation of Lancer of Black death."

"Mr. Kairi and Sieg do you know where the room to let him sleep."

"Ruler, do you want to use the castle room, that place is very dangerous even though there's no servant there for now but if we leave him alone there, when we are busy they can assassinate him, it will be a joke of the century for an assassin to be killed in his sleep."

Hassan I Sabbah then appear beside Jeanne.

"Saintess, thy care for my contractor is appreciated. I beseech thee to accompany me to our previous chamber, wherein resides a barrier accessible solely by myself and the contractor."

"Assassin then please show the way."

hearing that Hassan I Sabbah started to guide them towards the inside of the castle.

after walking passing the hall they saw a blood splatter on the wall, and few of the working Homunculus was cleaning the blood.

after passing the bloodied hall they arrive at the room and Hassan I Sabbah said. "this the room." he then touch the handle and open the door with a unique way by knocking at a certain part of the door then on the door appear a complex magic engraving before finally opening.

"Assassin what is the use of the magic engraving in the door?"

"The magic inscription shall unleash a formidable jolt should the door be opened conventionally. Furthermore, any assault upon the engraving shall invoke its defense, repelling all magic beneath the rank of A."

they then enter the room, Jeanne then put Alex in the bed.

Hassan then disappear and return to his spirit form, after he disappear Kairi then started to ask.

"Ruler, what will you do now?"

"I will enter the Hanging Garden to stop Shirou, with the help with the other servant I hope to stop him, and I hope to contact the red faction master to help me."

"is that so?, then I will stay here with Sieg to help him."

Jeanne then nodded after that she then exit the room and walk towards the hole to enter the Hanging Garden.

"Sieg I will help you in your goal, but after it's done I need you to help me and Alex, do you agree?"

"thank you Kairi, please lend me a hand."

after that both of them start to go out, Sieg then ask some of the Homunculus to keep guard inside of Alex room, he told them they don't need to engage if they are too powerful and if Alex woken up he ask them to notify him or anyone of them, after that he left with Raiya to continue freeing the rest of Homunculus that are still trapped.

PoV Inside Alex mind

after fainting I feel very heavy as if I was inside the ocean depth, the surrounding is very dark and empty.

seeing this empty space I decided to walk forward.

I keep walking forward but I didn't see any end to it, I felt confuse since this is the first time this thing ever happen.

slowly the surrounding started to change, it became an empty arena.

slowly darkness erupted across me and slowly forming into a humanoid form, the form is exactly the same as me.

I tried to speak but there's no sound coming from my mouth, why the hell this thing exist, shouldn't the rule of nasuverse and nagi's world different.

my doppelganger use Magia Erebea, he rush forward with extreme speed because of the boost as well the use of Shundo.

not wanting to be beaten I absorb lighting attribute and use the form of Agilitas Fulminis to increase the speed while also enhancing my body strength with enhancing spell, both of us clash sending each other backwards, the shock from the clash making my hand numb, not giving him time to recover I rush again this time using Shundo to sneak attack from the side and punching him in the liver.

the doppelganger reacted fast and transform his arm into a huge shield to receive my liver blow, he then counter it with using the shield to bash towards me, the action was too fast making me have no time to react.

seeing that I was hit he then change the shield into a sharp edge and thrusting it towards my heart, seeing this I use my palm that was coated with mana to act as a shield to grab the sharp edge and stopping it.

grabbing it then I grab his shoulder to do an overhead throw, making his body hit the ground, following it up with sending huge amount of electric current to his body burning him into a crisp, to make sure the doppelganger is dead, I stomp his head, making the doppelganger scatter.

after finishing the doppelganger off, the scenery change and revert back into the un-ending darkness, this time the difference is there's a white road that stretch into the darkness, seeing this I step on the road and walk, seeing there's no other option beside it.

PoV Kairi and Sieg.

the both of them is finally done with helping the Homunculus in the castle laboratory, when both of them was about to leave they heard a sound from behind them and look back, behind them is the master of black faction and Berserker of Black.

"please wait, I want to have a talk with both of you?"

looking at them Kairi ask Modred to matirialize and said.

"ok then, what do you want from us?"

"we want you to return the Homunculus you take away from us."

hearing this Sieg look towards them with a worried expression, while Kairi continue to ask. "why should we do that?"

the former master of Siegfried said. "Because the Homunculus you guys stole it from our castle?"

"then what will you pay to us to return them?, are you even in the condition to demand something from us our side has 3 Servant, can you deal with us."

"you-."

"uncle please stop, we are not in the position to do use force." Fiore stop Gordes from escalating the situation even further.

"it seems the little girl is the one who has the final say, so what can you pay us with?"

"money and resource, we can provide you with that."

"What do you think Kid, it is up to you."

"we want freedom, we don't need resource but we need the right to make a decision on our own."

"are you sure even if it won't change anything?"

"at least that is the result of our own choice."

"ok then we will give it to you, so please call them to help us clean up and repair the castle."

Sieg then went out to ask the Homunculus, he explain all the deal and he said they can decide whatever they want to help or not is up to them.
