"Saber, after you changed do make us some tea"
Saber noded and went to the another room. I calmly sat at Tohsaka's red furnished sofa while looking at Archer. He lies on the other sofa like he actually lives here.
"Feel free to do as you like, king of heroes" Said he. "If you insisted, there is a stash of wine in the cellar"
I still do not know why he is so respectful of Archer or whatever his 'king of heroes' title means. Maybe they already met at the past. Tohsaka sat besides on a matching lounge chair. Noticing thin strands of hair under his nose, he must be the same age as my brother. I just want to say that he is really rich. I mean his mansion is huge complete with a garden of flowers (which some of them do not bloom here) and five limos. Everything has a touch of the color red, I think that is Tohsaka's family color or something.
"Since you are also here, ____, shall me discus some important matters?" Gesturing to his Command Spells and mine, Tohsaka put on a plastic smile. "Before we talk to mister Kotomine, let me give you a brief explanation"
"First Holy Grail Wars, for a layman description is originally a ritual of three founding families. Usual it's kill or be killed-"
Kill or be killed?
"For the prize, the Grail" He waved his hands above his head and look at the ceiling. "What you desire, you name it and it will be granted!"
"So you are saying that people kill each other just for just a stupid cup?" I arched my eyebrows and look at him with questioning looks.
"Oh but killing Masters are not just the option but it is easier, seven Servants are summoned in the war together with their masters... If their Master is killed, the Servant must found another to sustain them with Mana"
After he spoke, Saber went in with a metal tray full of treats. She is wearing a white satin dress which matches her hair color. "I don't know what the guests likes so I prepared many treats"
"Thank you Saber" He took a biscuit and bit it. "But dear ____ consider yourself lucky, you are not a mage or magi but you entered the ritual. Your Servant here does not need Mana to live, which is an ability of the class Archer. Oh and I almost forgot, do you already know the true name of him?"
"True name? Did you mean Archer is only a nickname?"
"If that is what you think. All Servants are heroes in the past, for example, Saber here. Her true name is King David of Israel"
When Saber heard it, she clenched her fist and look down. "Master, I know that you and that girl is in an alliance but may I ask why did you spoke of my identity? She is still an enemy-"
"Oh and that" Tohsaka waved Saber's comment away from conversation like her opinion does not matter. "You should not throw the name of your Servant to anyone especially to other Masters, hell knows what will happen"
"Then who is Archer really?" I asked. So Servants are humans in their past? The elders never told us about that. Is this chalice is really that powerful to grant any wish and summon forth heroes from the past?
I expected Archer to comment something about his true identity. Maybe he feels safe with Tohsaka? Judging to his carefree posture, he must've met this guy or his family in the past. I can't imagine King David as a girl. I only know that he- I mean she is a king who replaced king Saul in the bible. This ritual or whatever it called is interesting.
"Oh, king of heroes... You never introduced yourself to your Master?" Tohsaka frowned. "May I ask why?"
"Like she knew who am I" Archer replied. He sat straight and grab a wine glass. A wine bottle suddenly materialized in the table. "People now days do not acknowledge me, rarely even study my achievements, so I will only waste my time on her"
