Queen of Lily and Emperor of Rose

All together! Vive La France♪

Fou, foou!

Vive La France!

Vive La France♪

Fou, fou-foou♪

Vive La France! Marie!

...Um, well.

...You too, Senpai...?

？！

When the Doctor said he wanted to summon Marie to Chaldea for somethingimportant,

I thought it might have something to do with repairing the singularities, but...

I never thought that "something important" was telling her he's a big fan.

But...

Ready, go♪ Vive La France♪

Fou, fou-foou♪

Vive La France! Marie, you're the greatest!

They are having so much fun, so I'm going to leave them alone for a while.

Vive La France♪

Fou, fou-foou♪

Vive La France! Marie!

...

Okay, now we're getting excited♪ But it would be better with more people.

Hey, Doctor. Is there a place we can go with more energy and people?

Of course! The Second Singularity, the repairing Rome!

There shouldn't be any enemy Servants, so I can guide you there safely!

Huh? S-Senpai, the Doctor's saying that

R-Really? ...I guess you're right. It can't hurt.

Senpai??

？！

Fooou!!

Okay! I'll get the Rayshift system ready right away!

My, what a wonderful place

So this is the ancient Roman Empire, the land that all the nobles of Europe dreamed of.

The buildings are splendid, and there're so many people! And look at all these smiles!

This is a great place! Thank you for bringing me here, Doctor♪

Not at all. Anything for you, Queen Marie. But there was one mistake I made...

You need an operator to perform the Rayshift, which means I have to stay behind...

...This is the biggest mistake of my life.

Fou, fou-fou♪

The wars have ended and everyone's full of energy. I'm glad

I'm sure she is. Not knowing history, just knowing her.

That's how it seems to me. But I know she's got a lot of trouble ahead...

No. Rome's being restored, so Nero may have no memories of us.

？！

Oh?

Fou?

Oh? Oh? I see a splendid palace over there.

It's different than the ones in my era. The town and palace are both different.

I'd like to see what's inside. Heheh, let's go take a look!

Fooou♪

Come along, Fou. Let's take a tour inside that palace♪

Huh?

...Um, um, Senpai? Marie is heading further and further away. Let's go after her!

Hmm, so this is how it looks. It looks elegant, but it's also sturdy and strong.

I feel strength within the beauty. Perhaps it comes from the trust and pride toward this country's culture.

W-We finally caught up... I can't believe she just walked right inside the palace.

？！

Yes... She passed by the palace guards with just a smile...

She has a noble aura, you could say. Like she belongs in any palace.

Her words, her expression, even her smallest movements, they're all so noble that even I might...

If I were a palace guard, I might let her in too.

She truly is the last queen of France Amazing...just amazing...

I wish I could have seen her walking through the real Versailles Palace, and smiling by the fountains...

If one of the singularities turns out to be 18th century France, maybe I'll get the chance...

But sadly, the Rayshift system won't let us travel to any location except the singularities.

If only all the other eras hadn't been incinerated...sob...

Huh? What's this over here?

Is it a throne? An ancient Roman throne! How wonderful!

Come here, Fou. We'll look at it together!

Fou, foou♪

Oh.

？！

Right, Senpai! We'll follow her! Oh, she's surprisingly fast!

...?

(Grin Grin)

And you are...?

(Grin Grin)

Umu. Are you a foreign royal? I sense an intense royal aura about you, though it does not rival my own.

For you to come before my throne, you must be. Umu, I shall allow it.

But where are you from? Seneca said nothing about an audience...

Nice to meet you, Emperor. I am Marie.

Umu. I am Emperor Nero Claudius.

(Oops! We ran into Nero!)

(Marie the White Lily Queen, and Nero the Rose Emperor! What a picture! Save an image, Mash!)

(R-Right now is not the time!)

Um, I have a favor to ask of you. May I speak?

What royal family are you from, again...? Hmm? What do you wish to ask of me?

That throne

I'd like to sit on the throne of the ancient Roman emperors!

Fou♪

Wha

Y-You say you want my throne? Does that meanyou want to become Emperor?

?

I don't know what family you're from, but you are indeed a bold rebel!

Very well! I see I must show you what I'm capable of!

I shall allow it! Pick up your sword! If you truly want the throne, seize it by force!

We emperors have ruled Rome since the time of Romulus! You who oppose us, behold the might of the Emperor!

W-Wait, Nero Um, we're not here to fight!

(And Nero is a human from this time period! There's no way she can fight a Servant!)

Hmm? Have I met you somewhere before?

HuhOh, right. The era is repairing itself, and she's started to forget about us, maybe.

No, I remember your name at least. Mash and Fujimaru, was it?

Huh? She remembers and forgets? Maybe she'll remember tomorrow?

You're with Marie, then? Very well! I'll fight you too!

Oddly, the headache I've had all day is gone! No one stands a chance against me at full power!

Wait Huh? What...What's this...?

？！

I'm sensing powerful magical energy from Nero! She wasn't a mage in life, though!

H-Huh? I'm picking it up here too! What is this? It's Servant-class!

What's going on!?

Uh...? Huh? What is it?

Ah! Queen Marie has no idea what's happening! We're about to start a duel with Emperor Nero!

Oh, I see Good luck and do your best, Fujimaru.

You're just making us do it?

Let's begin! May the thunderous applause echo here!

There's no stopping her now! Commencing battle!

...S-She's strong. How can the human Nero be so strong?

Where is all this energy coming from? Did something happen to Emperor Nero?

I'm feeling great today! I feel like I could expand our borders tomorrow!

Marie, was it? I can't give you the throne, but that was splendid.

I love your beauty. You have the purity that's lacking in Rome. It would be a shame to pluck such a pretty flower.

You can sit on the throne a little later when no one is here. Tonight, we'll have a banquet!

I'm honored, Emperor! Right, Fou?

Fou, fou♪

Fou really likes her... A-Anyway, I'm glad neither of them died.

That's right.

We did use a ton of magical energy. I want you to fill yourself up, Senpai.

？！

I'm so jealous... You guys get to join a banquet, and all I get to do is watch...

Hehe, we'll bring back presents, so don't be sad Doctor.

Queen Marie! Oh, Vive La France!

Vive La France♪

Fou fou-foou♪

Vive La France! Marie!

Hmm? What's this? I don't know, but I'll join in! Vive La Rome!

Fou fou-foou♪
