As Arteries sat on her black throne, the Demon King was currently lost in thought about who to send next to kill the forms of Artoria Pendragon next. So far it seemed sending the Berserker class servants and had failed even though they should of taken care of those pests. Then there was the strange perverted Artoria look like who managed to damaged her armor. It seemed like Arteries would have to think about who she would send next.
That's when she got an idea. "Time to fight iron with iron. Time for the knight of the sun to take a swing at his former king."

Leo was exhausted from last night's previous encounter with Arteries. Not from just the fight, but the talk afterwards. First, Nero explained that she branded Leo with a teleportation circle on his left hand so she could come to his side whenever he was in danger. That's why she was able to stop Arteries from killing him and stalled him long enough for the others to join the fight. The rest of the night was trying to figure which version of Artoria to go after next and unlike nights before, the girls wouldn't let the boy go to bed by himself.
So currently, Leo was laying in bed with four beautiful girls surrounding him with smiles on their faces while he couldn't sleep due to how nervous he was. Finally, the boy just got up and went to the kitchen to get some coffee. Once there, Merlin was already sitting at the dining table drinking his own cup of coffee and doing sudoku.
"Good morning, Mr. Castle., " the wizard said before noticing how sleep deprived the boy was. "Let me guess...couldn't sleep?"
"Yeah....," the blonde haired boy stated as he poured himself a cup of coffee before sitting down next to Merlin. "So have you decided which Artoria were going after next?"
"Not yet, but I think we'll decide which one to go after next soon.," The white haired man said before turning to Leo. "In the meantime, we might need to restock the kitchen. Unfortunately, my kings are eating out of a house and home. I'm actually glad Miss Nero has a normal appetite."
"Then I'll just go the grocery store.," Leo said as he got up from his seat. "It's better than doing nothing."
"You're not going alone though...," a voice said as Assassin suddenly appeared behind the boy causing him to jump back. "You never know if Arteries is going to try to kill you again, so I'm coming with."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I can do this by myself and besides, Nero can just teleport to me if I get in trouble.," the boy said with a smile.
The girl just rolled her eyes. "That's normally the cause, but Nero is currently drooling on your pillow. So I'm going whether you like it or not!"
With that, she grabbed his hand and pulled Leo out the door. Merlin just chuckled as he went back to doing his sudoku. As they walked to the store, Assassin and Leo just talked mostly about Leo's life before this business with the Demon King happened.
They were halfway there, when Assassin suddenly stopped and put her arm in front of Leo. "Stop...don't move."
"Why?," the boy asked as he looked around. "Is something coming towards us?"
"Possibly...and I think I know who it is!," the girl said as she summoned her Excalibur as she turned around and blocked a fiery blade from coming down on Leo's head.
The attacker smirked as he jumped back away from the two teens. "Nicely done, my king. As expected from some of the Assassin class, you impossible to sneak attack."
Assassin just growled as she summoned black Excalibur in her free hand as she pointed the other at the man. "Sir Gawain!! How dare you try to attack us while our backs are turned...that's no way for a knight to fight."
The man known as Gawain sighed. "I know.....honestly this way of fighting sickens me, but Arteries's orders were specific to take you down by surprise and take the boy so we can use him to lure the others out. Now...let's get down to business."
