I took a deep breath as I prepared myself. Standing in front of the grail. Finally... It had come into my hands. I could make the wish that I had so long dreamed of. A pure world had been formed through effort and years of service. 

So I lifted my hand mere centimeters from the grail almost close enough to touch it. 

Y/n: "My wish is to create a pure world." I simply said. That was what all of this had been for. Nothing more nothing less.

And so I felt a large amount of mana begin to build up within the grail. I didn't know quite how to describe how I felt. 

Overjoyed or ecstatic didn't seem to fit just right. It was a feeling different from those... 

It surely wasn't negative either. 

Fulfilled? Would that be the right word? It seemed to be. I had finally finished my goal. I had finally put an end to all the evil. And so it seemed that the mana was building up just a bit more and more. Past what I thought would be needed. 

Even being a ruler class the sheer amount of mana I could feel was... Overwhelming. This was the grail that I was meant to serve. Finally, it would complete its largest goal.

Then suddenly I could hear nothing. And see nothing. I hadn't passed out I hoped. Surely not due to my ability to think currently.

But then everything came into being again. This scenery was much different from a few moments before. 

I could see what was obviously a poor town... One of poverty. One of sickness. One that I had wanted to purify. I thought it was going to show me how it changed this. 

But then everything seemed to stay as it was... Why was I here? Had my journey not stopped? 

But then I noticed a spark of crimson. A fire? Of course, I began running as fast as I could towards it. I don't care if my wish was completed or not. If I saw this in front of me I couldn't stay still. 

I reached the site of the fire in brief moments. And saw the obvious culprits. A number of people in black robes a few brandishing weaponry. 

I see. So I worded myself wrong for my wish... saying that it was my wish was to create a pure world. Not for the grail to do it. So was I supposed to purify a world I had not known of? 

I suppose it was a fitting test of sorts... And right now I had to destroy the evil that stood in front of me. So I lifted both hands branding my black keys three in each hand as I prepared to throw them. 

(Flashback end)

Monk: "Sir. Please wake up." I heard a voice say dragging me out of my unconsciousness. 

I opened my eyes blinking a few times and sat up in my seat nodding. Looks like I had been overworking myself yet again. It was the middle of the day but after a few minutes to close my eyes I fell asleep. But I just nodded standing up. 

Y/n: "Thank you, my child. I apologize for making you see me like that." I said nodding my head. 

Monk: "Do not worry father. We here understand that you are going through much to spread the word of the holy." He said shaking his head quickly.

Y/n: "Thank you. If you wouldn't mind could you go wait for the young miss who is supposed to speak to me today? I'll be taking a walk beforehand to try and clear my head." 

He just nodded as he walked out of my office. I just took a moment to glance out of the window behind me. I could see the many volunteers and actual workers. I couldn't help a small smile tugging at my lips.
