I looked at the warehouses on the shore, focusing on the muscular red-haired man that stood in the centre, flaunting his presence to call for the rest of the servants.
"He is trying to get us to go there huh." said Diarmuid, looking in the same direction as me.
"Yes." replied Medea. "it appears you were right, master."
"Indeed..." I say. "Now we wait a bit longer."
A few moments later, a blonde woman arrived alongside a white-haired woman.
"So that is the king of knights..." said Medea, a blush covered her cheeks as she felt like she just saw the cutest doll ever.
"Hmm, it's hard to imagine a little girl being as good of a swordsman as you said, master." said Diarmuid, slightly surprised that the king of knights truly was a little girl.
"Yeah, but do remember not to underestimate her. She is King Arthur after all..." I say back, trying to see wether I can find where Kiritsugu or Archibald are hiding.
Saber and Rider looked at each other silently for a moment, measuring each other's strength. Before long however, Rider laughed loudly and began talking.
"I AM ISKANDAR, KING OF CONQUERORS! BROUGHT FORTH TO FIGHT IN THIS HOLY GRAIL THIS WAR AS RIDER!" he screamed loud enough for us to hear despite being relatively far away. "Heroes summoned by the grail, let us gather!" he continued.
"You were right..." said Medea, looking at Iskandar as if he was an idiot. "This guy is crazy."
"Hahahaha, you have seen nothing yet." I reply while listening to the rest of his little speech.
"And to those hiding in the shadows, to paralysed by fear to reveal your faces, know that Iskandar, king of conquerors, holds you in utter contempt!" he finalised.
I could see Diarmuid's eyebrow twitch at Iskandar's words and even Medea became completely silent.
"It seems he has quite the talent to get others riled up huh." I say with an amused smile. "I warned you he would do this and you are still falling for it." I continued while shaking my head in disapproval. "Well, it doesn't actually matter, we were going to go anyway so this might be a good chance to have a nice entrance."
I look at Giorno and nod, indicating him to proceed with the plans. Giorno nods back and stays in his position while I get on Diarmuid's shoulders.
"Let's go then, it is in bad manners to keep royalty waiting after all." I say while looking at Diarmuid, who smiles at my words. Medea shakes her head and dematerialises.
Diarmuid flexes his knees to get impulse and jumps, carrying me in his shoulders until we arrive at Rider's and Saber's location.
"Ahhhhh!" I scream as we land. "That was fun! We should totally do it again later." I say while nodding. It was extremely nice actually, it felt like going in a rollercoaster without a seatbelt.
*Cough* *Cough*
After a couple of fake coughs, which were completely unnecessary since everyone's attention was already on us, I put on a smile on my face and wave my hand. Time to have some fun...
"Hey there! I am Dio Salvatore, heir to house Salvatore and master of Lancer and Caster." I say as Medea materialises at my side, leaving me between my two servants. "Anyway, we came here because it felt like we would have some fun."
Rider looks at us and laughs. "Well, this day truly is full of surprises! Not only do I learn that the king of knights is a little girl, but there is a kid that can actually summon two servants!"
Saber's eyebrow twitched at his words. Lancer was in a similar situation as he pointed his weapons at Rider. "I would suggest you not to insult my master." he said in a serious tone."Otherwise you leave me no choice but to give him your head before we get the chance to talk further."
Rider raised his eyebrow at this. "Hoh, quite the loyalty you have there for your master huh? Well then, will you introduce yourself as well?" he asked.
Diarmuid looked at me for a moment, and once he saw me nod, a smile formed on his face. "I am Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, also known as Diarmuid of the love spot, brought forth to this war as Lancer."
Rider smiled at this, and so did Saber. As people who valued honour, it was nice seeing someone like themselves.
"Very good!" said Rider before looking in Caster's direction. "What about you? No introduction?"
"Hmph." said Medea while looking away. "Introductions between enemies are stupid, the only reason I even came is because my master asked me to."
"Huh, as expected of the Caster class." said Saber while looking at Medea. "Cowards and tricksters. It is bound by honour to give your name upon hearing the name of others, witc-"
*Snap*
A trail of fire left my fingers and went directly in Saber's direction, who grabbed the Irisviel and retreated, successfully avoiding the explosion that followed and gaining some more distance between us.
"I expected better manners from the king of knights to be honest." I say while looking at her with a serious expression. "Or do you perhaps think that there will be no consequences for insulting my servants?"
Saber simply looked in my direction, tightening her grip on her currently invisible sword.
"Well well, calm down. It is not the time to fight yet, after all there is still someone coming." said Rider, diffusing the situation and focusing our attention on the golden dust that was condensing on top of a light post.
As soon as the materialisation finished, a blonde man with red eyes and a golden armour stood, looking down on the rest of us with an annoyed expression.
"To think mere mongrels would refer to themselves as kings in my presence..."
