After Artoria glimpsed her Pan-Human History counterpart and became dizzy, Riezel carried her to her room to rest, unaware that someone was watching them.

• Riezel and Artoria agreed to leave Aurora alone for now and potentially use the Wind Clan's information network, while taking advantage of Aurora's mistaken assumptions about their plans.

News of Artoria’s escape and the first Pilgrimage Bell stirred Fairy Kingdom of Britain as Morgan’s forces and rival factions prepared to act. After Riezel helped Artoria face memories of her Pan-Human History self, they met Oberon and Aurora, who asked whether they would join forces against Morgan.

Riezel, Artoria, and Oberon set out to find Chaldea, which Oberon believed had arrived in the Fairy Kingdom of Britain near the Nameless Forest. As they approached the dangerous forest, Chaldea’s newly arrived members were shown lost in its fog, and an unexpected disturbance caught Riezel’s attention.

• Riezel used magic to summon a white Eight-Legged Horse and create a carriage, then he, Artoria, and Oberon left Salisbury.

• Three figures from Chaldea landed on a foggy shore, where Tristan appeared and played her harp as Black Shadows crept closer.
• Oberon explained that the Nameless Forest made people forget their identities and said Chaldea had likely landed nearby; as the group neared it, Riezel noticed an unusual disturbance.

Riezel rushed to the coast after sensing a battle and rescued a group attacked by Mors. After destroying the creatures, he plunged into the sea to save someone while Oberon went to search the shore and forest.

• Artoria sulked because Riezel had contacted Oberon instead of her, then agreed to leave the Nameless Forest with him.
• Oberon asked Artoria whether she was close with Riezel Brihaut, and Artoria stopped walking.

Oberon warned Artoria that Riezel’s unknown origins and knowledge made him suspicious, but Artoria challenged Oberon’s own secrecy and defended Riezel. After asking whether Oberon was Merlin and accepting his denial, Artoria left with one of the rescued people while Oberon carried the other two.

• Oberon told Artoria that his investigation suggested Riezel was neither from the Fairy Kingdom of Britain nor someone who had drifted in from Pan-Human History, and warned her to be cautious of him.

• A swarm of Mors attacked Riezel and Mash on the road.
• Mash stepped in front of Riezel and blocked the Mors’ barrage with her shield without being pushed back.
• Mash announced that Fairy Knight Galahad would not let the Mors harm innocent people.

Mashu awakened Galahad’s power and declared herself a Fairy Knight while Riezel tested a new Sun Breathing technique against the Mors.

• Mashu declared the names Galahad and Fairy Knight before the Mors, drawing Riezel’s attention as her power awakened.

As Woodworth marched toward the Nameless Forest and Koyanskaya prepared to test new goods in Gloucester, the pursuit of Riezel and the others began.

• Riezel explained that Da Vinci was likely the only member of the Chaldea group who had kept her memories and was stopping Fujimaru Ritsuka from approaching them too readily.

• Artoria avoided approaching Chaldea because memories of King Arthur made her uneasy about meeting the Knights of the Round Table, and Riezel reassured her that their history was not hers.

• Riezel reported that Bavan Xi, Beryl Gate, several hundred Fairy Soldiers, and a powerful fox-eared woman were closing in on the group.
• Da Vinci and Oberon explained that the group’s routes were blocked, teleportation was sealed, and retreat through the Nameless Forest risked the Curse of Forgetting.

• Oberon decided they had to fight, and Da Vinci told Fujimaru Ritsuka to stay behind the Servants and support them.
• Riezel sensed the enemy had reached the cave, and a massive black Magic Bullet struck it.

Riezel and the Chaldea group survived Bavan Xi’s bombardment, but Bavan Xi appeared in a transformed, far stronger state and attacked Riezel. Their fierce fight ended with her striking him with a wave of crimson light and sending him flying.

• Bavan Xi ignored the others and charged Riezel, whose blade blocked her steel-shod kick before they fought in a rapid exchange of blows.
• Riezel realized Bavan Xi had become far stronger despite regaining her true name, and she sent him flying with a wave of crimson light.
