Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

"Just kidding. I have no interest in your private affairs with other women. Humph, it annoys me."

Marne breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that Nero was still a little awkward, he quickly went over to coax him.

A barrage of childish, laughable, and cheesy remarks, such as "Your Majesty Nero is the best!", quickly made Nero laugh.

"Excuse me, sorry to bother you."

A slightly awkward voice interrupted the two who were about to get intimate.

Ma'en and Nero turned to look and saw the Lion King with an awkward but polite smile, who had somehow appeared not far away.

Behind them followed Irisviel, who was peeking out from behind the Lion King, looking at the two with curious eyes, as if she was taking notes of some new and interesting knowledge.

"Ahem!"

The two quickly separated, and Ma En coughed lightly, pretending nothing had happened, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The Lion King didn't pay attention to the intimate behavior of others, nor did he intend to inquire about their private affairs. He nodded and said, "Yes, the head of the Tohsaka family has returned. Everyone is preparing to hold a meeting to sort out the current situation."

"Let's go then."

After saying this, Marne gestured to the Lion King, signaling him to lead the way.

The Lion King looked towards the city gate behind him, then at Marne, as if asking why the remaining one hadn't come out.

"She was slightly injured last night and is still resting. It's okay if she doesn't come; we'll tell her later," En said casually.

Not even Irisviel would believe that, let alone the Lion King.

Putting aside how strong Aozaki Touko is, how could she possibly get injured so easily? And even if she did get injured, with her healing magic, minor injuries would heal in an hour or two.

Clearly, there's another engine inside.

Thinking this, the Lion King glanced at Marne in surprise, then at Nero.

These two seemed quite close just now, so what's the situation between Mar and the person inside?

However, she didn't ask anything. She doesn't have the habit of gossiping about other people's privacy, at least she wouldn't ask in person.

Suppressing his curiosity for the moment, he turned and led the way to the conference room.

Well, it's actually another city tower, separated from the resting city tower by one tower. It faces the encampment of Yuanzang Mountain and the blackened army diagonally. It's a location where you can see the whole scene and are not easily affected by the battle, so it can be considered a temporary headquarters.

In the conference room, all the remaining Masters and Servants from the Holy Grail War participants were present, along with some unfamiliar faces.

Three people were sitting, with some attendants standing behind them, who seemed to be important figures in high positions.

The atmosphere was quite subdued before Marx and Engels arrived.

"Marne, you've finally arrived. Come and sit here."

With dark circles under his eyes and looking somewhat tired, Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately invited Maru to sit down when he arrived.

Ma En, who had been pushed to the head seat, raised an eyebrow, sensing that the atmosphere was a bit too cold. Had something unpleasant happened before?

Tokiomi Tohsaka knew that Marne had figured it out, and quickly introduced, "Let me introduce you. These are Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Chris, sent by Japan and the United Nations to make contact and will provide the necessary assistance regarding this 'incident'."

Ma En nodded, not surprised. The Magic Association has always cooperated with high-level officials in various countries, and some branches are even affiliated with the United Nations to facilitate various operations and needs, such as a certain organization that can be described as a world defense organization.

He nodded to the two men as a greeting and then paid them no further attention. After all, they were just extras; he could ask them for help if needed. They were just cleaning up the mess. The important figures who actually had a say in things wouldn't come to this kind of frontline.

Then I looked at the last one, a man dressed in the style of an old-fashioned aristocrat, who looked like a magician.

"This is Mr. Hugh Byrne Barthellello from the Clock Tower Legal Department, who is in charge of overseeing the handling of this 'incident'."

Ma En raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding what was going on. Trouble had come knocking. He chuckled and said, "From the Lorelei family?"

Bah!

"I've been holding back, and this is your attitude! And how can someone like you, a weed, just call the young lady by her name! I..."

Hugh Byrne slammed his fist on the table in anger and stood up, pointing at Marne, ready to give him a dressing down.

Is it no wonder he came from the family of Barthezmello, the head of the aristocracy? His very first words were full of weeds.

This is a derogatory term used to describe magicians from aristocratic families, implying that they are like roadside weeds, meaningless under the glamorous glow of a long-standing magic lineage.

However, before he could continue speaking, four murderous gazes were fixed on him.

There are four Servants: Nero, Gilgamesh, the Lion King, and Mordred.

The intense killing intent made him instinctively shut his mouth in fear.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Would you dare to say it again?" Lu said with a 'kind' smile.

"You scoundrel! What kind of attitude is this before my royal court?! If you wish to die, I will grant your wish!"

Compared to Nero's sudden outburst in defense of her husband, Gilgamesh's anger was purely genuine.

This guy actually dared to slam his fist on the table in front of her? Doesn't she have any dignity? Who gave you the courage?

Of course, there was a tiny bit of defense of Marx and Engels in it, roughly the idea that 'it's not your place to interfere with my people,' but it was really just a tiny bit.

As she spoke, she unfurled the Gate of Babylon, and several golden ripples emerged from the treasure, aimed at Hugh Byrne, poised to shred him into pieces at any moment.

The Lion King and Mordred were simply annoyed by his rude behavior, glaring at each other without saying a word.

Maren smiled with satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted—to seize the initiative!

The fact that the other party came from the Department of Law and Politics already indicates that their intentions were not good.

Of course, the Department of Law and Politics isn't the main focus; the main focus is on his surname and the word "supervisor" mentioned at the end of his introduction.

Barthezmello, the head of the Twelve Lords and one of the three great noble families, has an extremely strong sense of elitism and aristocratic consciousness among his family members, and he has an almost contemptuous attitude towards others.

They are a very troublesome clan in the Mage's Association, and they also hold the power of law and politics that is almost the power of life and death in the Mage's Association. Being targeted by them usually means trouble is coming.

The fact that they are supervising rather than taking action or assisting them in dealing with the problem speaks volumes.

This means that the other party is there to hold someone accountable, that is, to find a suitable person to take the blame for this matter.

So Ma En gave the other party a direct warning, to make them understand that in the territory of Fuyuki, the emperor was far away and the sky was high, so they were not in charge (okay), and even whether they could return safely depended on their mood.

To prevent the other party from taking advantage of their status to boss people around and cause them trouble, and to avoid them coming to bother them afterwards.

"You! You people..."

Startled, Hugh Byrne snapped out of his daze and became furious. Just as he was about to say something, the middle-aged man in a butler's tailcoat behind him put a hand on his shoulder, stopping him from speaking further.

"Hugh Byrne, if you say something like that, you'll only have yourself to blame if you die."

"Butler Gerald?"

Hugh Byrne quickly swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, turned to look at the middle-aged deacon beside him with some confusion, and his face became even more unpleasant. He was so frustrated that he couldn't vent his anger.

Marne raised an eyebrow, looking with interest at the middle-aged man who was clearly of higher status than Hugh Byrne, yet stood behind him.

This guy is a smart one, and his reaction is super quick.

If Hugh Byrne had actually said that, he would definitely be dead by now.

Chapter 93 A Certain Young Lady's Longing, Ma En's Self-Considered Unlucky State, and Fuyuki's Current Situation

What was Hugh Byrne about to say?

Although he was stopped halfway through his sentence, it wasn't hard to guess from the word "使" that he meant to say "familiar".

These noble magicians viewed Servants as mere familiars to be used at will, as tools.

For example, Director Kenneth thinks this way, so he never considers building a relationship with Servants, and even forces Servants to do things that violate their moral principles and their own will when necessary.

A simple master-slave relationship: user and tool.

Therefore, the Servant is likened to a tool, and the magician is the user. These rather arrogant noble magicians do not care about the Servant's will and thoughts, and even look down on them, thinking that the Servant is just a slightly more powerful but lower-level existence.

Hugh Byrne was trying to save face by belittling the four Servants in order to elevate himself again.

However, if he actually tells, he's doomed.

Leaving aside the Lion King, she probably wouldn't care about other people's malicious slander.

However, Nero and Mordred, one a veritable embodiment of self-expression and the other a rebellious brat eager to prove herself, would not tolerate such slander.

Not to mention, there's also the even more dangerous Shining, who's already on the verge of going berserk. She's a tyrant who can't stand the slightest slander or malice.

So if Hugh Baien really continued talking, as long as Marne didn't stop him, he probably wouldn't have enough lives to survive.

Therefore, Marne said that the butler named Gerald reacted quickly enough, nipping the problem in the bud as soon as it started to seem amiss.

At the same time, the fact that he calls Hugh Byrne by his first name, and that he doesn't use a respectful tone when addressing him as a butler, is quite intriguing and makes people curious about his identity.

Skill activated! Ask if you know!

"Who are you?" En asked.

The middle-aged deacon stepped forward, bowed to Ma Enshi, and said with a smile, "I apologize for the late introduction. My name is Geraldton Barthemello, and I am one of the deacons serving Miss Lorelei. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I had the pleasure of hearing about Lord Marx and Eng from Miss, and now that I have met him, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary. He is a talented man whom even Miss praises. His words and his sharpness in handling affairs are truly amazing."

Ma En then realized and nodded: "Really? He's that girl's attendant. No wonder."

For a moment, Ma En couldn't help but recall the past, after he became Tokiomi Tohsaka's disciple and successfully graduated.

To register, he and Tokiomi Tohsaka went to the clock tower together.

While waiting alone to complete the formalities, Ma En encountered the girl on patrol, or rather, the half-expired big loli. (That's roughly it; if anyone knows, please add to this.)

She was a true genius. In terms of magical talent, even Aozaki Touko couldn't compare to her. She was hailed as the pinnacle of contemporary magicians and the person closest to magic.

At first, he thought it was someone's lost child, so he struck up a conversation, and then they started chatting for no apparent reason. Then, for no apparent reason, the two of them started arguing. The other person couldn't win the argument, and it eventually escalated into a physical fight.

Because the damage caused by going all out would be too great, Ma En, not wanting to be held accountable afterward, held back and responded passively, but then realized that if he didn't go all out, his magical abilities wouldn't be enough to defeat his opponent.

In the end, he fled in a panic. In his desperation, he used his still immature space magic to travel directly from the Clock Tower across half the Earth back to Fuyuki. It was after this that his space magic achieved a breakthrough, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, this was an unexpected disaster that left Marx and Engels depressed for quite some time.

It was only afterward that Ma En learned who she was from Tokiomi Tohsaka. After that, he never went to the Clock Tower again, because it was her territory.

If this Gerald was her attendant, then it would make sense.

Although it is unknown what position Hugh Byrne holds within the Bartholomew family, in any case, compared to Lorelei, who is already destined to become the next head of the family at a young age, even her attendants have a higher status than ordinary branch members, especially since this person also shares the Bartholomew surname.

Because these are people cultivated within the family to assist the future head of the family. Although they are subordinates, it depends on whose subordinate they are. The position of the head of the family is not comparable to that of ordinary family members.

This also explains why Gerald was so outstanding; he instantly saw through Marn's plans and also noticed Hugh Byrne's suicidal tendencies. The future head of the family's attendant was none other than the future head butler. It would be strange if such a person wasn't outstanding.
