[When she made her contract with the world to offer her service as a Servant in exchange for a chance to grant her wish, Saber had been prepared to be summoned across time for the purpose of fighting in a war. But his 'summoning' wasn't even a summoning at all, but some terrible accident. Moreover, she was no longer a warrior, but a student? She had stared hard at the letter as she walked through her new surroundings, her expressionless face giving away nothing of her complete confusion. It all made sense... yet it didn't make any sense at all.

Dismissing her battle-armour and Excalibur, she remained in her blue dress, not willing to chance finding out whether or not her more modern attire had somehow come with her. She might have stood out, but at the very least she had no special need to hide that her presence was unnatural.

She paused occasionally to scrutinise her new surroundings through an experienced knight's eyes. It seemed peaceful enough... at least, on the surface. But for all she knew of this alien place, that could change.]

Why's that? I mean, no offense, I don't know much about knights, but they do what their lord tells 'em to, right?

[everdistant_utopia]

The knights in my kingdom serve the people and take orders from the king. The king himself is the head of the knights, yet is a knight himself whose duties are likewise to the people.

Mercenaries are a necessary part of military forces, yet they have no allegiance to the kingdom.

Oh, well... no kingdoms here, so no kings. There's always an army, I guess, but they wouldn't want you, you're not from this world.

[Kinda blunt there, Jecht. Well, whaddya expect when you ask him to explain all the complicated stuff?]
