Fate/Zero - The Grand Caster And The Forgotten King

4 - The First meeting between servants

Solomon materialises into his masters room to see his master laying face first on his bed, with only a tiny piece of fabric hardly covering him. He cleared his throat with a slight blush on his cheeks.

"My master, the final servant has entered Fuyuki, plus Enkidu is getting restless and wants to challenge Gilgamesh and the others to a fight." Solomon said whilst looking away.

"Hmm, alright. I made him wait long enough. I guess I'll put some clothes on." His master said as he stood up before Solomon and stroked his blushing cheek then went into his walk-in wardrobe.

Ectris sat on a chair at a table he had set up, with Solomon sat beside him. Enkidu is playing with Gilguard whilst projecting his presence as an invitation for servants hoping that Gilgamesh will answer.

Ectris picked up a gold cup, with purple steaming liquid inside, between his sleeves and blowed on it to cool it down.

"It doesn't seem like anyone is coming." Solomon said as he watched Enkidu who seems to be having fun with Gilguard.

"They will, someone is already on their way." Ectris replied before cautiously taking a sip of his drink, only to hiss and put it down due to it burning his tong.

"Is it Gil?" Enkidu asked, suddenly appearing before the table.

"Unfortunately not, it appears to be saber." Ectris answered. "But I'm sure that Gil will come." He reassured seeing Enkidu look down.

"Really? Yay." Enkidu exclaimed jumping up with his arms in the air.

A moment later two women came walking towards them but keeping at a distance, they were looking around searching before their eyes landed on the three men and the lion who were watching them.

"Welcome saber. I've been waiting for ages for someone to come and now finally you have arrived." Enkidu said whilst stepping forwards.

The two women looked at him and the others unsurely, both of them standing tense. "I'm impressed that you know my class, may I ask for yours?" Saber asked as she stood before Irisviel protectively.

"You can relax King if Knights, we mean no harm to your masters wife." Ectris said, making both of the women look at him in shock, as he leaned back into his seat. "Lancer here wanted to challenge the other servants to duel, which is the only reason why we're here, I'm not the kind of man who takes advantage of others for my own gains. If anything I'd like to have a nice chat over a drink so that I can understand why you want the grail." Ectris explained whilst indicating to the seat opposite him with a kind smile.

"So what your saying is that you don't really want to fight us?" Irisviel asked careful, looking over at him and the other servant that is sitting next to him. 'He has two servants?'

"Exactly, though if saber is up for a friendly spar then it will definitely make Lancer happy, or if she doesn't want to then he can go back to playing with Gilguard until someone else arrives." Ectris answered, whilst indicating to Gilguard beside him.

The two looked at the lion in shock before looking at each other.

"Well in that case I'd love to have a cup of tea, if that's ok?" Irisviel said happily.

"Irisviel?" Saber said in shock looking at her.

"It's ok saber, it'll be best if we can settle this peacefully, don't you think?" Irisviel replied whilst smiling to saber.

Enkidu sat back down beside the table and began to play with Gilguard again, making the lion roll on his back so that he can strock his belly.

Saber watched Lancer and let out a sigh. "Alright then." She relented and her and Irisviel walked over to the table. She pulled out the chair for Irisviel and pushed it in a little when she was seated.
