"Damn it, I'm going to kill him." Saber's teeth ground audibly. Like an enraged lion, her eyes blazed with uncontrollable fury, and even her ahoge stood straight up.
Irisviel was far more important to Saber than Kiritsugu Emiya. Not only were their personalities compatible, but they also worked together seamlessly in battle. To Saber, Irisviel was a princess possessed of noble grace, while she herself was the knight who protected the princess.
