Chapter 318 The Seventh Drop of Blood
"Saber."
Shichen brought Esther to Saber's side and looked at her with pity.
"Shichen..." Saber looked at Shichen, and her expression made his heart ache.
Her once delicate face was now filled with such pain; she wanted to cry but couldn't, her face brimming with sorrow.
Although Saber might be a bit too compassionate and not know how to blame Lancelot, the culprit, she wasn't really that wrong.
Ultimately, he couldn't bear to kill his own subordinates.
After all, her true identity was that of a woman, and from her perspective, she did indeed let down Princess Guinevere.
You can't give your partner sexual happiness.
Platonic love is impossible to sustain, let alone for a princess with a normal sexual orientation.
But ultimately, from her perspective, from Shichen's own point of view, it was all someone else's fault. The Queen and Lancelot's adultery was a clear violation of the law, how could it be forgiven?
If he were to do it himself, he would have beheaded Lancelot directly.
Lancelot had disappeared, but Saber remained motionless, still in the position of piercing him.
"Brother, why don't you comfort Sister Artoria?" Esther thoughtfully transformed into an imprint and entered the back of Time's hand.
Seeing Saber's dejected look, Shichen sighed, stepped forward, and hugged her tightly.
"If you want to cry, just cry it out. It will make you feel better."
"I can't cry...:"
Saber shook her head in Shichen's arms, her tone resolute: "This is what I must do. I must achieve final victory."
"I will obtain the Holy Grail and have my wish fulfilled."
"Shichen was starting to think about telling her the truth about the Holy Grail being corrupted."
However, given her current state, she definitely won't believe it. Rather than causing conflict, it's better to let her see "good" with her own eyes in the end.
Shi Chen held her petite body tightly, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly, "I will help you achieve final victory."
The two stayed on the beach for a long time, and Saber did not make any move, letting Shichen hold her like that.
Shichen was worried that Irisviel and the others would worry, so he took Saber back early.
"Shichen, you're back!"
Irisviel and the others were all in the living room, and as soon as they saw Shichen and Saber return, they couldn't help but get up to greet them.
Seeing that the two were unharmed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Daddy! Are you alright?" Ilya ran and jumped into Shichen's arms.
Shi Ying followed closely behind: "Brother."
Shi Chen smiled and picked them both up, saying, "How could anything happen to me?"
"Yes, Daddy is the best!"
"I believe in my brother."
"The way you're acting doesn't seem like you believe me."
Hehe~
"Since everything's alright, I'll go back to my room." Frilian walked towards her room without hesitation.
As Shi Chen watched her walk into the room and close the door, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He decided he would teach her a lesson later.
"Time, Saber?" Irisviel noticed that something was wrong with Saber.
"It's nothing, I just sparred with an old friend."
"An old friend? Could it be that Berserker?"
"Yes, it's Lancelot."
"It's Lancelot!" Irisviel exclaimed in surprise.
After all, given Lancelot's fame, very few people are unaware of him.
"That::
"Yes, Saber took care of it herself."
"I'm going back to my room to rest." Saber, unable to bear it any longer, went back to her own room after hearing this.
After Saber closed the door, Irisviel slapped Shichen in annoyance: "Why are you so blunt?"
"What else can we do? Just keep quiet about it? Saber isn't that weak, and she has to face this fact."
"You can't be so direct."
"That's Lancelot who deserves to die."
"Why?"
"Perfect timing, let me tell you about Saber's real experiences."
Saber's experiences are naturally different from the orthodox legends, but apart from the special ones, they are not much different.
Before long, he finished telling Irisviel and the others the story of Saber.
"I never imagined... Saber had such an experience." After listening, Irisviel leaned against Tokimitsu and sighed.
Ilya and Shi Ying had already gone back to their bedroom to play games. Shi Chen didn't let them listen, since some of the content wasn't suitable for children.
The two of them had already gone astray. They kept saying they'd let him touch them when they grew up. What if they went even further?
"Being a king isn't so easy," Shichen said, putting his arm around Irisviel.
"Yes, but I think Saber is very qualified to be a queen," Irisviel said, speaking up for Saber.
"Is that so? I think Saber is more like a general than a queen."
"A general? What you're saying makes sense."
"Your change of heart is too fast!"
"Um...: I just agree with you." Irisviel was a little embarrassed and buried her head in Shichen's arms.
Shi Chen, inhaling her delicate fragrance, held her close and said, "Saber doesn't need us to worry about her, and that's all in the past."
"So what do you plan to do with her?" Irisviel asked, looking up.
She knew that the Holy Grail had been corrupted.
"I plan to keep her here and tell her the truth later."
"I knew it..." Irisviel pursed her lips.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
"No, I know what kind of person you are." Irisviel shook her head gently.
"Oh? What kind of person am I?" Shi Chen looked down at her.
"Of course it is... um!"
Before Irisviel could finish speaking, Shichen silenced her with a kiss.
Looking at her up close, it was hard not to be moved; her soft, cherry-blossom-like lips made his mouth dry.
Irisviel was only surprised for a moment before grabbing Shichen and responding fiercely.
The two engaged in a heated debate, oblivious to the presence of others, and no one dared to disturb them.
After a long while, the two separated. Irisviel was panting, and her ample bosom undulated beneath her sweater.
Shi Chen's breathing was steady. He stared intently at him and asked in a low voice, "What was the reward you mentioned earlier?"
"Huh?" Irisviel paused for a moment, then remembered.
"Yes...yes..."
Her face grew increasingly red, as if it were dripping blood.
"You haven't thought it through yet?" Shi Chen asked.
"Yes..." Irisviel nodded shyly.
She was just saying it casually, hoping that Shichen and Saber wouldn't get into trouble, and she didn't mean to give them any reward.
"Really? Then you're not lying to me?" Shi Chenban pretended to be angry.
"Um...:.:" Irisviel didn't dare to look at him.
"Does the reward still count?" Shi Chen continued to ask.
"Let's... let's just leave it at that."

"What do you mean by 'count'?"
"Sure, but I don't know what reward I'll give you..."
"In that case, I'll make the decision."
"That works too. What kind of reward would you like?"
"What kind of reward do you think I could possibly ask for at this point?"
"Wrong?" Irisviel blinked, confused.
Without offering any explanation, Shichen picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom.
"Shichen, what are you doing?" Irisviel instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to prevent herself from falling.
"Ping, come with me to take a shower, just the two of us..."
"Now...now?" Irisviel's voice trembled slightly.
Even though she hadn't experienced anything, she knew that when Shichen said they would take a bath together, it definitely wasn't just a simple bath.
She was nervous, scared, and... a strange sense of anticipation.
"Don't miss this opportunity."
Shi Chen carried her into the bathroom, closed the door behind him, and set up a protective barrier.
"Wait... wait... what if Ilya and the others come?"
"I've discovered that I've set up a barrier, and Ilya and Sakura have just fallen asleep."
Hmm:
"You don't need to worry about Saber and Frilian either; they're not coming right now."
"Ugh..." Irisviel was speechless.
Shi Chen carried her to the wardrobe, put her down, and began to help her take off her clothes.
"Let me help you; that's part of the reward."
"Huh?" Irisviel froze on the spot, feeling shy as she watched Shi Chen help her take off her clothes. She wanted to stop Shi Chen, or at least do it herself, but she didn't move, watching Shi Chen seriously help her take off her clothes.
She could clearly hear her own heartbeat, strong and loud.
Even though Shichen helped her remove the clothes little by little, she still took them off all at once, and the bathroom seemed to be coated with a layer of snow.
Irisviel's skin was as white as snow, subtly reflecting light and illuminating the bathroom.
He stared intently at the time.
Irisviel clenched her fists at her sides, feeling a bit awkward. She was used to being seen like that, but now she was unusually shy.
Shi Chen quickly took off his clothes, then picked up Irisviel again and headed towards the bath.
The pool was steaming. Shi Chen tested the water temperature with his foot, then gently carried her into the water.
Irisviel simply held the clock tightly, her skin pressed against his.
After entering the pool, Shichen held Irisviel in his arms and let her sit on the edge of the pool.
Irisviel naturally sensed something was wrong; she twisted slightly and then froze.
Now I can feel it more clearly.
"So mischievous?" Shi Chen teased.
"No way!" Irisviel retorted, her face flushed.
"Alice." Shichen's tone suddenly became serious.
"W-What's wrong?" Irisviel looked at him cautiously.
"Are you willing?"
"If I don't want to... it's no use anyway~"
"Then what did you say!" Irisviel said coquettishly.
"She's so beautiful," Shi Chen exclaimed, staring at her.
"Really?"
These are my heartfelt words.
"Um... I... I do." Irisviel suddenly looked up and leaned closer, taking the initiative to kiss Shichen.
Shichen naturally didn't refuse and hugged her tightly in response.
Irisviel was exceptionally proactive, holding Shichen tightly as if she wanted to melt into his body.
I was so nervous just a moment ago, but now I'm even more excited than Shichen.
Splash~ Splash~
A short while later, the sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom, one after another.
The water splashed continuously, wave after wave, until a splash of red appeared.
"Alice, is that you?"
"Um... don't worry about it for now, I'll explain it to you later..." Irisviel said with difficulty.
"All right:
Then, melodious singing began to fill the bathroom, accompanied by splashing water.
