Knight's Honor

Awoken from her deep sleep, Rin in her pyjamas walked down the stair's. Expecting to be alone, she entered the front room.

"Master, it's nice to see you awake so early. Tea?" Stood beside the sofa, Aurelius had a tray with a tea pot and cup.

Halted by the voice in surprise, she looked at her servant and immediately a red shade of colour came across her whole face.

Reason for this was the Clothing Aurelius was currently wearing. The Classic Butler Clothes. Black vest, Blue tie, white shirt and lastly, a black pair of trousers. Weirdly enough the get up suited the Knight properly.

"W-Why are you wearing that?" Stuttering, Rin sat on the sofa nervously. Noticed by her shaking figure, Aurelius chuckled and placed down the tray.

"Funny that you asked. Outside of being a knight, I was actually the butler for King 'Arthur'. For his safety, I was always around him in the case that there would be an attempted assassination." Filling her cup with tea, he couldn't see but Aurelius could guess that the girl was shocked.

"Seriously, why didn't he choose another knight or someone he could trust same as you." To answer the black haired girl, Aurelius just shrugged and smiled.

"I don't know honestly. Whenever the topic of my work were to be mentioned 'he' would just change the subject. I never really understood him even though we were Childhood Friends." Recalling the fun time serving underneath Artoria, Aurelius closed his eyes to bask in the all to familiar feeling.

Saw the unusual action of her butler, Rin's mouth turned to a smile. She felt happy that her servant was feeling happy, whenever he was happy, she was.

"We'll be going out soon, to get you accustomed to the surrounding's. I don't need a servant which hasn't got a clue around the city." Laughing at her statement, Aurelius gave no sign of denying the idea of hers.

No Later after drinking her tea, the servant and master combo headed out to scout the area, staying in her shadow by using a similar spell to manifestation. Just going around, Aurelius was shocked and mesmerized by the highly advanced technology all around him.

Buildings covering his every direction that could tower over the usual castle. He absolutely job smacked, it would normally take years after years to even get a stone castle up.

Don't even mention the gorgeous food that he's never heard of in his life. There was too much things thrown at him in one go, but being a prodigy and having a Photographic memory, he took every in like a piece of butter.

At the end of the day, Rin and Aurelius was stood at one of the huge buildings roof, gazing down the scenery to the streets.

"Did you get everything?" Asked by Rin seriously, Aurelius manifested beside her in his armour.

"Got it all down. Why are we even on the roof of this building?" Seated on one of the vents, Aurelius didn't see a reason for him to look down from here.

"To see any possible servants before they see us." Straight to the point, Rin turned around to on the other side.

"Nice plan you get there, but don't you think that other masters might have the same idea." Taken his words to mind, Rin understood his point. Basically he was saying, that this was pointless.

"Of course, it's still worth a try though." Sigh leaving the tall man, he changed the subject and asked her curiously.

"What do you get from partaking in the Holy Grail War Master. To revive your family? Possibly rule the world?" Turned to see him, Rin smiled at him and put her hands on her waist.

"To win. I want to beat other strong masters, and become number one." Clearly determined, Rin smiled brightly at him. Thinking that the reason for entering the Holy Grail War was hilarious, he said.

"Hahahaha! Seriously, because of this. I understand the feeling of wanting to be number one and having the urge to win. But, don't you think that's just over the top. To risk your own life just so you can test your strength against someone else." From his laughing and her own lack of though. Rin blushed at him and looked away shyly.

"D-Don't laugh." Heard smoothly of what she said no matter her low tone. Aurelius went on his feet and bowed.

"Sorry if I had hurt your feelings Princess, I was just simply stating my opinion." Spoken seemingly honest, behind this action, Aurelius just wanted to tease her.

Getting the reaction as he wanted, Rin's already blushing face grew even further. Practically her ears was blowing smoke and her blush went down to her neck.

"I-it's okay. Just d-don't do that again." Not able to look at him, she turned her head away like the usual tsundere.

"If that is what master wants than I won't." Stood back up, Aurelius said.

For the rest of the day, Rin and Aurelius would tour around the town and get something to eat and than go back to Rin's household.

Came quick, The next day rolled past. Rin wearing the classic Japanese school clothes, arrived in the front room. First thing to catch her attention was the relaxing servant that was laying on her couch.

"Hurry up, I've got to head for school if not I'll be late." Waving his hand, Aurelius yawned than said.

"I'm coming." Materialized, Aurelius followed behind his master.

Exited from her house. Rin strolled to school while communicating with Aurelius. Over 10 Minutes to arrive at the High school, eventually they was outside the entrance.

Just one step inside school property, unexpectedly a strong magic was felt around her body. Rin's eyes widening at the bold move from whoever made it, she heard in her head.

"Master take your steps with caution. A strong mana is fluctuating on the roof of the school. And by the seems of things, a servant might be possibly still around." No laughing matter, Aurelius spoke with a serious tone to portray it.

Subtle nod, Rin walked into the school. Confident in her servants ability, she walked without a care yet at the same time.

Whilst his Master was occupied with class, Aurelius deactivated the camera's on the roof and hallways of the school. Strolling above to the roof by the stairs, Aurelius still in his Butler clothes, went to the location of the fluctuation.

"Snooping so low. Do they have any morales." Disgusted in his findings, Aurelius found a Magic seal meant for sucking life force, in exchanged for this, the user would have a increase in your magic capacity.

Hand on the floor, the symbol gradually disappeared. Completely gone without any issues, Aurelius already knowing before committing to his actions that the person that placed this would be notified from his interference.

Explaining his finding and what he had done, Aurelius felt Rin's magic signal radiate her feelings, anger. Thanked because of his information, Rin explained to him the next course of action.

Only time to actually come face to face, both Rin and Aurelius at lunch spoke to one another. Rin enraged of his findings, blown her light bulb and ranted.

"The audacity! I can't believe someone would do such a thing." Exhaled angrily, Rin walked back and forth, gripping her hair. Stopped by a hand on her shoulder, Rin looked up to Aurelius.

"Calm down, we aren't here to get angered by something so little. There will be worst things to happen in the future. Understood?" Shoulders loosening up, Rin came out of her state of anger and started to become relaxed by her servants masculine voice.

"Your right." Admitting, Rin inhaled and turned to smile brightly at the charming man.

"Eep!"

Frozen in her place, the voice of the sound stood dead in her track at what she saw. The role model of the school was with a boy. Not your average boy or student. But, a overly excessive handsome male which topped models in magazines.

When the pair looked at the individual, both of them had different reactions. Aurelius was just casually smiling at her, on the other hand, Rin looked back with her hands up.

Face burning at the possible misunderstanding, their former position looked very SUSpicious. His hand on her shoulder while both gazed at each other with smiles, keep in mind they both was also just centimeters away. To make everything worst was that the person was her younger sister, Sakura Matou.

"I-It isn't what you think Sakura!" Shouting in denial, hands everywhere, Rin tried to persuade her sister.

"U-Umm, a-are you two... Y-You know, together?" Fingers pushing together nervously, Sakura kept her eyes down wards with a blush. Now and than she would glance up at Aurelius.

She couldn't understand why her eyes went to him. It's not like she hasn't seen handsome men before. Maybe he was better looking than every man she has seen before, but that didn't matter.

"Nothing like that, I had to give Lady Tohsaka her lunch that she forgot at the household. As you can see from my attire, only recently has she hired me as her personally butler." Reaching from his back, Aurelius gave the lunch box to her.

"I wonder why I couldn't find it anywhere." Understood what he was doing, Rin went along with his acting.

"If that is all Lady Tohsaka, I'd better be on my way." Hand on his chest, Aurelius bowed and kissed Rin's hand like a gentleman and out the stair case door.

Thankfully not seeing her face, Rin calmed it down and turned around towards Sakura. Bell ringing, Rin immediately strolled to her lesson hoping to lose her sister. Sadly, Sakura's class being in the same corridor, all the way Sakura asked her questions about Aurelius and how she was doing.

"I always was good at pulling miracles behind my back. Literally." Laughing, Aurelius materialized into nothing.

Rest of the day went uneventful. No sign of presence from the master and servant that had planted the magic seal on the roof. Alongside, Rin having to commit to her classes, and Aurelius with his protective duty.

Unable to actually search in broad daylight, Rin and Aurelius waited after the sky was darkening. When it did, they went straight away to the roof where they found the Fluctuation.

"There must be a clue around here somewhere." Crouching near where the seal use to be. Rin's fingers ran around the spot for a trace of the users magic. If she could find it than she might be able to evaluate who the master could be.

"Don't get your hopes up. The person who made this was an expert. It would be highly unlikely that they would commit such a basic error." Stood behind her, Aurelius said to Rin.

"At least it's worth a try." Unconvinced, Rin carried on what she was doing. Unknowing of the upcoming projection heading directly on her position.

*Woosh*

"MASTER!"

*BOOM*

Expecting her own demise, Rin closed her eyes, waiting for her death. But, it never came. Eyes opening slowly, Rin faced upwards to see Aurelius comforting back standing like an impenetrable wall.

Swords in his hands, Rin just from seeing his musclular back, felt a wave of safety from his figure. Off to the distance, she could see a crater near the school building.

"Show your self!" infuriated by the unknown individual attempt of killing his master, Rin felt her whole being shook just from Aurelius's voice.

"That didn't go as planned."

As the new voice said that, directly Infront of them. A tall man around 185cm, spiked up white hair and tan was opposite them. Though smaller than Aurelius in height and muscle mass, not the less the man looked very strong.

"You are the Saber class." Not asking but stating his observations. Aurelius said as well.

"You are correct.... And you are an Archer if I can assume by your scarily accurate archery." No response from his words, neither needing them.

Both mens mana/magic clashing against each other. Two blades came together in both of his hands, one of was black while the other one was white.

"Are you challenging me." Eyes narrowed, Aurelius hands tightened around his sword handles.

"What if I am." Provoking the knight, Aurelius eyes grew a cold glint.

"Then I shall respond to that challenge."

*Boom*

In a blink, Aurelius was gone from his former spot and directly beside the other man without him knowing. Thrown off the building like a doll, before he could think, the tanned individual was in mid air.

Cheek stinging for an unknown reason, he tried to flip in the air to lessen the impact.... However, above him was an all to familiar person. Only given a glance to see him, he was yet again forcefully attacked. An air rippling kick to his chest, the white haired person coughed out blood.

*Bang*

Wind blown violently by the impact of a human against the ground. A small human crater could be seen with a person in it. Barely getting on his legs, the human rag doll's vision was blurry. Only seeing the outline of a person's silver hair, he used his right blade to cover his chest.

When he immediately placed his blade in that location, a unexpected powerful force pushed against his blade to get to his exposed chest. Other blade available, Archer replied back with a slash.

Blocked effortlessly, the pair of Servants clashed against one another. Wind blowing against their Figures and sparks being created from the clashes of their weapons.

Using the arm of his opponent to jump back. Archer brought some distance from Saber to get some air but almost like he didn't need it, he dashed into his opponent so he could resume the battle.

"Do you think someone of your class could match me! You overestimate yourself Archer!"

Because of his voice, Aurelius smirked and saw the slight hesitate of Archer's round house kick and grabbed his leg. Spinning around in lightning fast speed, he threw the faker at the school building.

*BANG*

Literally putted in to one of the school classes. A Massive hole was hand made to replace the complete wall. About to go in to check the status of Archer, Aurelius heard a footstep near one of the entries to the school.

"Who's out there!" Shaken from his voice, the intruder to his battle let off in a run inside of the school for protection.

"*Sigh* Where is Master when you need her. Now I'll have to protect another person." The Bored tone in his voice evident, Aurelius vanished from his opposition. The only sign of him formerly being that spot was the gushing wind blowing.

----------------------

Did you enjoy the Chapter and the Fight scene between Archer and Saber? Because tbh I really don't know if I did a good job. I'm not that very good at writing fights.

Anyway, I seriously need some help with names for an Arthurian Noble Phantasm. As you can guess, both of his blades are one whole Noble Phantasm. All I need is a name and even through my research all I could do was find a Arthurian last and first name which the MC has.

It would be very helpful if you could list some. That's it for the Chapter now, Thanks for reading and please keep supporting. Bye! 👋👋👋
