As Leo woke up, he didn't remember what happened at first. However, he immediately remembered how he and Assassin had gotten ambushed by Gawain. The last thing he remembered was picking up Assassin's black sword and...that's all he could remember. The boy then finally noticed he was laying on the couch in his living room where all the girls and Merlin watching over him.
"Umm....why are you guys staring at me?," the boy asked as Nero jump on top of him with tears in her eyes.
"You reckless idiot!," she cried as she hugged him tight. "You could have gotten yourself killed!! Never leave my side again!"
Archer nodded. "Nero is right...you could of died today. I still can't believe that you killed Gawain though...."
"Yeah....me too.," Assassin muttered with a bit of shame in her eyes. "I was there and I can still hardly believe it."
That's when Leo raised an eyebrow very confused. "Wait?....I killed Gawain?"
The girls eyes widened as they all turned to Merlin who frowned. "Are you saying you don't remember killing Sir Gawain with Excalibur Morgan, Mr. Castle?"
"No....what's Excalibur Morgan?," the blonde haired boy asked. "Was it the black sword Assassin has? I just picked it up to defend her after Gawain almost killed her, but after that...I don't remember."
"Then that explains it.," the wizard stated with a sigh. "It seems you gained another power besides purifying the corrupted versions of Artoria when you released Arteries. You also gained his fighting styles well as a new personality when you come into contact with Excalibur Morgan which is Excalibur's dark counterpart. We should take precautions if we come into contact with any other Excalibur Morgan users. In the meantime, its best that you rest while the rest of us try to decide on which version of Artoria we'll go after next."
"Ok...," Leo said as he got up from the couch and started to walk towards his bedroom, however he was immediately stopped by Saber Lily.
"Hold on, Leo. You and I have to talk outside...now.," she said obviously mad as she turned to the others. "You guys go on ahead with our strategy. I'll be in shortly once I beat some wisdom into this idiot."
With that said, the knight princess grabbed Leo by the arm as she dragged him outside into the front yard. Once outside she pushed him on the ground causing him to yelp in pain. He looked up and was about to yell at her when he noticed tears in her eyes.
"You idiot!!," she yelled. "Why do you keep going out by yourself? Arteries know you're helping up and he'll definitely try to capture you so he can lure us in to kill us all! So why don't you just stay here where it's safe?!"
Leo just sighed as he got up off the ground and stared into the girl's emerald green eyes. "Because I just want to you guys...I'm the one who caused this mess. Why shouldn't be the one to fix it? I just can't stand by while you guys risk your lives to fix it for me!"
Saber Lily groaned as she walked towards the boy and slapped him on the face. "We're risking our lives because we want to keep you safe!! You're the only way to purify the corrupted Artorias!! If you die, we can't stop Arteries! So just stay here and stop trying to be a hero because you're not one!!! You're just a stupid idiot who pulled Deathcalibur!!!"
Leo's eyes filled with tears as the girl's word broke his heart. The girl, the version of Artoria, he knew he was in love with had just shattered his heart. He immediately just backed up as he started to walk away from her.
"Where are you going?!," the knight princess shouted. "Did you not listen to a single word I just said?!"
"I did, but I just don't care!," the blonde haired boy yelled back. "I don't care if you're suppose to be some great king, but you're not the boss of me! I get that I messed up, but at least I'm trying to help everyone! You know the other girls treat me with respect, but you're always hitting or threatening me!! As far as I'm concerned, you don't deserve to be king of anything and I can't believe that I ever lov--"
Suddenly a demonic black horse came out of nowhere and a woman in black armor swatted Leo across the head knocking him unconscious. Before he could hit the ground, the knight picked him up and threw him over her shoulder as she pointed a mighty spear at Saber Lily who had Caliburn drawn.
"Hello younger version of Artoria Pendragom...," the knight stated with mature woman's voice. "Listen to me carefully because if you ever want to see this boy alive again, you will come Daybreak town docks in the next hour and you will come alone....if you don't, I will kill Leo Castle immediately and you lose all hope of defeating the demon king. Do you understand, little girl?"
Saber Lily clenched her teeth as anger filled her eyes, but she knew that Leo's life was this woman's mercy and she had no other choice right now. "Fine....I'll come to the docks. Just let Leo go."
The woman just laughed. "I will, but only when I see fit. Until then, farewell younger me and I wish you the best of luck because you'll need it."
With that, the female knight rode off with Saber Lily just standing in front of the Castle household angrier than ever.
