All Hail the King (Harem) [Has A Rewrite]

Prelude to the End Pt.1

Saber Lily was not happy. What was supposed to be a day of fun at the beach before heading off to face Arteries in a final battle had turned into a complete disaster. First, Artoria Archer had gone missing after she left to secure them a spot and then, her boyfriend Leo went to go look for their missing friend only to go missing himself. After an hour of waiting, the Knight Princess got tired of waiting and gathered the others to search for their two missing companions.

However, after three hours of searching, the group realized that two must have been kidnapped by Arteries at some point during the day. The girls then made Merlin take them back to the Castle's residence where they find a way to track their friends down before the Demon King did something horrible to them. Now the group was back in the house in the living room as they watched the wizard try to look for their missing friends.

"Can't you go any faster?!," Assassin exclaimed dressed in her combat attire. "They could be being tortured by Arteries right now or even worse...dead!"

"She's right!!," Nero said with a nod. "Praetor Leo's life is on line. We have to find him for the future of Rome!"

"Umm...I think you mean the of the world and also Archer's live is also on the line.," Lancer said giving the Roman Empress a glare.

"Oh yeah. Her too.," Red Saber said with a sheepish smile. "Sorry. I forgot about her."

Saber Artoria just sighed as she turned to Merlin. "Merlin...have you had any luck finding them?"

The wizard shook his head. "I'm sorry, my kings, but I'm unable to find them. It's like someone of equal skill in magic is shielding them from my sight, but I'll keep trying. Don't worry...we'll find them."

"I hope so...who knows what the monster is doing to my poor Leo...," Saber Lily said with a worried frown. "I should've gone with him...then this wouldn't have happened."

Lancer turned to her younger self and gave her a hug. "It's not your fault. You didn't know and even if you did, you may have been captured yourself."

"She's right!!," Nero exclaimed with a bright smile before pointing to Merlin. "If it's anyone's fault, it's his! It was Merlin's idea to go to the beach and besides...he jinxed us by saying 'what could possibly go wrong?'"

"Why you little --," the wizard began to say as his eyes widened in amazement. "My Kings and Nero, I think I found something! It's not Leo and Archer, but seems to be another version of you, but it seems different somehow. Anyways, I think our best course of action to retrieve this new version before Arteries--hit the deck!!!"

"Huh?," the girls said confused before the house was hit in a violent burst of red lighting causing it split into two as debris rained down on them.

As the dust cleared, the girls slowly rose to their feet as they looked up to see a familiar face.
