The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"And for you, if there's no way to see Ian, it would be endless pain, right?"

"I don't want to see this happen - especially when I have the power to do something about it."

"..."

Scathach hesitated.

Although she really didn't want to see Irisviel in pain.

But compared to this, what the Queen of Shadow Kingdom wants to see more is naturally the man who can defeat her in martial arts.

She hesitated.

What followed was the slowly withdrawing hand and the guilt that followed.

"I see."

"Irisviel, you will become a permanent guest of the Kingdom of Shadows."

"Really... That's great."

【The long escape ceremony is finally over.】

[The contract between you and Scathach has finally been signed.]

[The contract with the gifted Shadow Queen has been obtained: You are allowed to act in the Shadow Kingdom, and any undead who intends to disrespect you will be treated with hostility by the Queen.]

【As the price of all this, Irisviel fainted.】

"..."

Scathach could hardly believe what she saw at this moment.

Ian Pendragon, the man who had been fatally struck by Caster in the decisive battle at Mount Enzo, now stood before him.

She couldn't help but pinch her hand, and the pain told the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom that all this was true.

"Ian, I..."

"Shh-"

The knight from Britain made a hushed gesture in front of him.

"Scathach, can we put this aside for now?"

The man looked at Irisviel who had fainted beside him, and he also felt deeply guilty.

"Can we bring Irisviel back to the right place before discussing other matters?"

"..."

The joy of reunion was replaced by calm thinking after hearing Ian's words.

Scathach realized that what she should do now is to ensure Irisviel's safety.

"I see."

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows pointed to the road dyed red by the souls of the dead - that was the path leading to the castle in the distance, conspicuous and accurate.

"Ian, this way."

"it is good."

"Then..." Ian looked at Irisviel who had fainted on the ground.

"Shall I pick her up?"

"Scathach, you don't mind, do you?"

"...No." A slight blush appeared on the face of the Queen of Shadow Kingdom.

"After all, this is indeed my responsibility - and don't think of me as the kind of woman who gets jealous easily. I'm not that kind of person."

"Ok, I know."

While answering Scathach, Ian squatted down and fed Irisviel.

"Let's go."

Ever since——

Everything becomes a new journey again.

Ian, holding Irisviel, followed Scathach towards the castle.

Along the way, curious undead kept looking at the two of them, wanting to find out what was going on.

However, after Scathach conjured up the Gae Bolg Alternative, fewer undead did this.

after all--

If he was really hit by the Gae Bolg Alternative, it would mean that he would be completely exiled from the Shadow Realm by Scathach.

It is hard to imagine where we will end up after that.

"Don't worry about them." Scathach, who was walking in front and acting as a guard, said to Ian who was holding Irisviel behind him without turning her head.

"These undead spirits are just curious for a moment, they don't mean any harm."

"I know." Ian replied with a smile.

"After all, to you, we... no, it should be just Irisviel and I who arrived here for the first time, right?"

"It's normal for them to be curious."

"but--"

"Scathach, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

Not long after Scathach finished saying this, she stopped there.

Because Ian gave an answer that touched her heart.

"Um……"

"I said, what kind of wedding do you want?"

553. Scathach's Queen's Wedding/Irisviel's Teaching/Duel (4k)

"You, are you serious?!"

Scathach turned around and looked at the man behind her, and her tone became a little strange.

"Ian, are you going to have a wedding with me?"

"..."

Looking at Scathach's slightly excited expression, Ian realized that his words seemed to have invisibly touched upon the point that she cared about most.

"Well, of course I'm serious."

The man holding Irisviel nodded, looking quite sincere.

"You summoned me through a marriage contract, right?"

"If there's no wedding—"

"These undead spirits wandering around the Shadow Kingdom will think there's something wrong with you, right?"

"..."

[Scathach was not very satisfied with the answer.]

[Perhaps for her, the answer she wanted to hear should be a more enthusiastic one.]

【Like, you really want to marry her or something.】

【but--】

[The Queen of Shadow Country also seems to know that such a thing is unlikely to happen.]

So in the end, she chose to accept it.

"That's it..."

Scathach suppressed her little emotions and nodded.

"You're right."

"We really should hold a wedding—otherwise, the undead in the kingdom will really feel uncomfortable about it."

"But, Ian, you..."

"Well, what's wrong?" The man looked directly at her, his tone more tender than usual.

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Scathach picked up her Gae Bolg Alternative and continued to lead the way.

"Let's hurry on—try to get back to the castle before sunset."

"it is good."

[As the land of the dead, the Kingdom of Shadows is quite large.]

【At least for you, it's an existence that's no less powerful than Camelot.】

[However, compared to the city where the Knights of the Round Table are located, the Kingdom of Shadows is obviously much more dangerous.]

[The undead on both sides of the road alone are enough to be a threat.]

【Fortunately, with Scathach here, all of this is not a problem. 】

[With the help of the Queen of Shadow Country, you, holding Irisviel, finally reached her castle.]

[Dún Scáith, that's its name.]

As the queen's residence, the area of Shadow City is quite astonishing.

The forest standing in front of Ian extended to both sides, with almost no end in sight.

Standing at the city gate were two undead soldiers—two skeletons to be more precise.

With only bones left on their bodies, they stood there holding silver blades. Although their expressions could not be seen, one could vaguely feel their loyalty.

"My Queen!"

Seeing Scathach coming back, the two undead soldiers immediately saluted properly.

Obviously, they have great respect for the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom.

but--

The undead soldiers' eyes quickly fell on Ian, who was holding Irisviel.

Then, the inevitable doubts arose.

"Your Majesty, may I ask what this is..."

"..."

To be honest, Scathach didn't know how to better explain Ian's identity.

In her heart, she was still somewhat unwilling to accept the man's answer just now.

But when Scathach really wanted to say this unwillingness out loud, she felt a little embarrassed.

The queen's reserve was fully demonstrated at this moment.

But what Scathach didn't expect was that before she could figure out how to answer the soldiers' questions, Ian, who was holding Irisviel, spoke first.

He faced the skeletons calmly, and then spoke as if he was confessing what he had eaten for breakfast today.

"Hello."

"I am Ian Pendragon—your Queen's fiancé."

"..."

Scathach was stunned for a moment.

Although she did tell Ian about her marriage contract, from her tone just now, it was obvious that the other party only regarded this contract as a means to assist in proving his identity.

but now--
