Haru's lips curved into a confident smile. "Just wait, Saber. They'll come to us. We're the strongest. A Devil King simply waits for challengers to arrive."
"But... with our overwhelming advantage, the remaining Masters might join forces against us," Saber said, her brow furrowed.
"Not a chance," Haru replied, shaking his head. "There's only one Grail."
