Not necessarily any spoilers. It's all modernized so Mordred isn't a servant. No mages either so yeah, that's fun... Just be on the lookout in case I did accidentally spoil something.

Security was probably the main issue for anyone looking to attack anyone in the place. Hotel Camelot was known for it's top quality and just as well known for the many important people that came to visit. Famous actors like Rituska Fujimaru, singers like Rin and Sakura Tohsaka, and even royalty like King Gilgamesh showed up at Hotel Camelot. Such was why it had the one of the most dangerous security teams on the planet. Their visitors were targets for many people, more specifically terrorists and assassins. Regardless, every staff member was equipped with a stunning suit, extreme training, combat knowledge, and a standard gun. Other weapons were allowed but had to be obtained through other means.

Tonight was one of their most important days. The hotel had been chosen as the meeting place for a peace treaty between two countries. Princess Scathach was meeting on behalf of her sister the queen to stop a potential war. Lord Nobunaga was already there and had been perfectly safe in the hands of Hotel Camelot, however (y/n) had uncovered serious intel about an assassination attempt. He and his partner were tasked with watching over the princess when she arrived.

"Welcome to Hotel Camelot! Please enjoy yours stay," (y/n) politely greeted the next guest. He was on door duty until Scathach arrived. Someone else would take his place so that he would guide the princess to the meeting and watch over her for the remained of her visit. Mordred, his partner, was on reception duty and would do the same once the princess arrived. "Welcome to Hotel Camelot! Please enjoy your stay," he greeted once more as the celebrity couple passed through the doors. Then, just as the doors closed, he caught sight of that blue hair that he had been told to keep an eye out for in case things changed. The princess wasn't going to show up.

"Welcome to Hotel Camelot. My name is (y/n) and I will be your escort during your stay here," (y/n) spoke with a slight bow when the prince made his way into the building. The man blinked at him before remembering to give a reply.

"Ah, nice to meet you. You seem to already know who I am. And you must know why I'm here too. I'd like to finish up here as soon as possible, so could you show me to the conference room?" Prince Cú spoke.

"Of course. Right this way, sir." They headed past the receptionist desk on purpose so that (y/n) could send Mordred a secret signal to notify her of the change in plans. Prince Cú was to occupied with greeting passing guest to notice the short gesture that (y/n) made to his partner. Once they reached the elevator, it was smooth sailing from there. After passing just two floors, the elevatorbrought them to their destination. The servers opened the doors for them and waited to be given orders. "Here we are, sir. The other guests should be here any moment now. Would you like a drink while you wait?"

"A spritz will be fine, thank you. I'd like to remain sober while the meeting is taking place," Prince Cú answered with a laugh. (Y/n) gestured to the attendant behind him without even facing them,, and they left without hesitation to prepare the requested drink. "And call me Cú. No need for the formalities. I'm no one important." The blue haired male's mood seemed to cloud over with worry upon saying those words.

"Are you anxious about the meeting? I've been told that it will determine whether or not your country goes to war," (y/n) decided to say. Cú quickly shook his head in denial.

"I'm more worried for Lord Nobunaga's safety. The rumors must have been true if Skadi sent me in Scathach's place. If either of us are harmed during the meeting, it could cause civil unrest. I'm not all that great with politics and I hate giving speeches. It would be a pain to clean up after if it doesn't simply start the war we're trying to avoid," Cú explained.
