Viktor was in the bedroom with Alessandro Serpi and Saber and said to them:
« You have to go to face Yukiko, it's time to stop her. »Alessandro got out of bed trying to forget what had just happened with Saber, the kiss the two were about to exchange, and asked Viktor:
« What is the plan? »
« Lombardo had spoken of a blood ritual and the only two descendants of the druids are you and the Master of Archer, which means you have to find a way to prevent that Harumi Fukano from falling into Yukiko's hands. »
« I'll have to fight her. »
« Exactly, do you have any problems with this? »
« No, not really. She is weak enough, I will be able to defeat her. »
« This is the right spirit, Master! » Exclaimed Saber, enthusiastic.
« Well, then I would say that the time has come for me to go. »
Alessandro and Saber started towards the exit but Viktor blocked their way and turned to the boy saying:
« You don't have to kill the girl. »
« Are you talking about Harumi? »
« Exactly, you must not kill her. All right? »
« What if she should force me? »
« I doubt she will succeed, if she is as weak as you say. »
« Why are you so worried about her? »
« I got to meet her, she's a fragile girl, she has the eyes of someone who has had a horrible life, she doesn't deserve to die. »
« Death is part of this war, Viktor, but I promise you I will do my best not to kill her, I can't promise you anything else, I'm sorry. »
Saber was ready for the battle and followed Alessandro along the clock tower corridor until he reached the exit that was on the ground floor. The girl asked him curiously:
« How long do you think the battle against Archer will last? »
« If it goes on for long, you'll use the Noble Phantasm, I don't want to waste time with a magus without talent. We need to conserve energy to face Yukiko and Berserker. »
« It would be much better to make an alliance. »
« It can't be done, Saber. » He replied coldly.
« Maybe you're right. »
Saber noticed that Alessandro's hand was shaking, the boy was obviously frightened but he tried to restrain himself as best he could. She took his hand and reassured him:
« I'll be by your side until the end, Master. »
« Thanks, Saber. »
