"Down by the hall and take a right."
"Thank you!" He yelled before he dashed towards the hall. He nearly slipped when he turned to the right towards the corridor. 'Please be alright…'
He reached the door before he opened it without thinking. That was where he was met with a sight of Scáthach talking to the President Council, while being surrounded by the entire council. A young girl with violet eyes under a pair of glasses and short black hair cut in a bob style sat in front of Scáthach, who blinked at his appearance. "Liam? What are you doing?" The Lancer asked with a questioning tone.
"Uhhhhh, I got worried?" He dryly chuckled out of embarrassment. "I was worried of you getting caught."
"I just did. I'm trying to dodge every questions now and then." The Witch responded.
"So, you're Liam, Asuka-san's future husband, correct?" The girl asked with the bob cut styled hair.
"That's Sona Sitri. The King of the Sitri Peerage, the rest of the Council are her members." There were others in the room. One had long black hair with a pair of golden eyes placed behind a pair of glasses. Another had shoulder-length white hair that flowed down with a pair of bluish green eyes. The third one had long brown hair, tied into a pair of pigtails and was ornamented with a blue headband with a pair of brown eyes. The fourth had shoulder length reddish brown hair braided into a pair of ponytails with a pair of golden brown eyes. The fifth had shoulder length blue hair and blue eyes, having a more tomboy look than the others. The sixth was a male, having short blonde hair and a pair of silver eyes. The seventh was a short girl with brown hair tied into long twin ponytails, green eyes with a pair of green hair clips. All of them seemingly have big breasts except the boy...another pattern of having a Peerage? Having girls with big boobs as Peerage members is a trend apparently...
"So, Liam-san, do you want to take a seat, while waiting?" Sona asked with a smile. The smile of hers...she's definitely hiding something behind that smile.
"Of course." He put on a smile, forced to be seen as a natural smile. "Assassin. Saber. Get Archer, Rider and Ruler to run shop. I need you both in Kuoh Academy's Student Council's room."
"Got it, Liam." The connection then snapped closed. Liam took a seat besides the wine-haired beauty. Seeing his luck in seeing both Peerages in a matter of a day.
"So, I am sure that you two know what you are up against." Liam and Scáthach sternly narrowed their eyes.
"What do you want?" Lancer asked.
"Well, Asuka-san, how about a peek of who you two work for?" Sona requested.
"That-"
"Simple." Liam interrupted his lover. "No one. We work for no one. Happy?"
"...I'm not convinced. What duty do you have?" Liam looked at the Lancer, who gestured him to tell her.
"...Save lives. That's all that matters now for me. God help us all in that case." The entire Peerage winced. "Ahhh, I see…"
"What do you see?" Liam gave out an amused grin.
"You're all Devils, aren't you?" Liam asked with a playful smile. "No wonder the word of Him, makes you all clearly devils." The Peerage continued to stare at him, a simple glare from Sona was already enough, but he did brought it to himself, the Lancer was already giving him a deadpanned stare.
"Who really are you?" Sona stared at the man.
"A man. No biggie." Liam answered nonchalantly, not taking any of this seriously.
"No...who really are you?"
"...Then...A Fellow Monster in human skin will do for now." Liam said with a smile on his face, a killing intent behind that smile of his. "I could easily kill you all, but I don't want my hands dirty, you see. So, instead."
"Assassin?"
"Got it, Master."
"I got a proposal." Liam proposed. "I wanna bargain, you let Asuka-chama here work in Kuoh Academy, provide us with a guarantee for no harm, while in Kuoh and no exploiting the students in Kuoh."
"In exchange for?" Liam's face darkened.
"Your life." The Sitri King raised an eyebrow before Assassin in his Pilgrimage robes materialized himself behind her and unsheathed his Hidden Blades. The whole Peerage widened their eyes and gaped their mouths as they didn't even sense the man, Arthur revealed himself by the Sitri King with his hood on and his Invisible Air active, keeping Excalibur away from view. "So what shall it be, Sona-san?"
"...I accept." Sona reluctantly agreed, there was a good chance of her Peerage taking them on, but the man behind her was already on her throat and the blade that was placed in front of her neck was enough to kill her with one single swipe.
"Great. Now put your toys away, Assassin." The Assassin smirked before he sheathed both Hidden Blades. "Pleasure doing business with ya. Tell no one about this and if I hear something happening to my dear friend, you know what's coming. Understood?" Sona nodded before the male member of the Peerage had enough of it and tried to punch the Master in anger, only for Scáthach to step in and grab his fist.
"Please refrain from hitting my lover. I hate that." She quickly twisted the male's hand before throwing a punch to his guts, knocking him out.
"Was that necessary?" The Witch of the Shadow Lands shrugged her Master's question. "Anyways, see you around, So-tan." Liam and Scáthach exited the room as the other two Servants merely made sure the Peerage didn't try anything funny before going into their astral form.
"That was a horrible move." Scáthach commented, the Saber and Assassin were heading back to the store in a hurry, while the two were walking.
"Hey, it worked, didn't it?" Liam smiled at the woman. "If it's stupid, but it works. Then it's not stupid unless it didn't work, because we were terrible."
The Lancer merely sighed at her Master yet again. "That is also a terrible quote."
"Well, that sucks…" Liam deflated, that was when a particular sight caught his eyes and attention. "Wait…" The Master looked at the tall plain grass as Scáthach raised an eyebrow.
"What is it, Liam?"
"Shhh…" Liam slowly began to walk in before he lunged into the plain. "Hold still! Itai! Owowowowowowow!" Liam came out of the plains, filled with cuts and bruises. "I got this lil guy." He showed a little lizard with a frilled neck, biting his wrist and somehow managed to hang on to it.
"Really?" Liam was met with a deadpan look from his Lancer-class Servant.
"You got a problem with this lil guy? He seems lonely…" The Master commented as the Frilled Neck then climbed up his arm and ran along to his shoulder. "Echo-chan."
"Echo? Wait, you're using the NATO's phonetic alphabet system, aren't you?"
"I'm not that creative." Liam chuckled nervously. "But how'd you know that?
