"It's ugly. ”

In the shadow of the entrance to the altar, Semiramis clasped his hands on his chest, his slender eyebrows furrowed tightly, as if to express his displeasure in this way.

"What a 'shadow servant', it's just some empty and powerful puppet, it's almost the same as being called 'Shadow of the Servant'. ”

I see, it's a more appropriate title. ”

The golden spirit scattered, adding a bit of light to the gloomy space.

Hearing this voice and seeing this brilliance, the empress's face showed obvious mockery.

"It's rare that you'd leave that room. ”

The room that Semiramis refers to is the room where the five former masters of the Red side, Lotville Berzinski, Kim Ram, the Pantier brothers, and Fender Wall Sembellen, rested.

Before the Servant was summoned, they were fed poison and fell into the mad world while maintaining a normal state of mind, being lured and manipulated by Shirou and Semiramis until Shirou took the spell from their hands.

They are all first-class modern magicians, and there is no shortage of mental defenses. However, these methods are no different from papier-mâché armor to the oldest poisoners. As a result, they were not killed, nor were they given freedom, but were kept alive as they are now, no different from waste.

Despite this, Karna watched over them, and when he was not ordered to do so, he stayed in his room and remained silent, silently holding on, as he had promised.

Throughout, he didn't treat Shirou as a master, and following Shirou's orders was the only way to better protect the waste.

Although the outcome was not different, there was a danger that if his lord came to his senses and gave instructions, Karna would undoubtedly betray, no matter what the situation was.

Before depriving the Decree and the Contract, in order to prevent the servants from noticing the anomaly, no direct damage is allowed, and even the amount of poison is reduced again and again. Even Semiramis, the oldest poisoner in the world, failed to get satisfactory results under such harsh conditions. That is, they don't know when they will come to their senses.

It's okay if you wake up after the dust settles, if before that—

In order to put an end to the hidden danger, Semiramis thought more than once about cleaning up the five people. But she had to worry about Karna's feelings, this was the last of her own fierce generals who could charge into battle.

This dilemma made Semiramis very dissatisfied, and naturally he would not have a good face for Karna.

"You'd better give up, Lancer. None of them will wake up during this battle, and you are not obligated to listen to their orders. ”

"The relationship between the master and the servant is not an obligation, but a contract, and you probably didn't assist Shirou Kotomine for the sake of obligation. ”

"Of course, I have a relationship with him through a contract between the master and the servant. But Lancer, your lord should be Shirou, not these guys. ”

It was a provocative smile that was ridiculous and unbearable for ordinary heroes. But in the face of Semiramis's smile, Karna did not show the slightest disgust, but nodded and replied with a serious and serious attitude:

"You're right, Assassin. The master-slave relationship concluded in the most legitimate way is only you in this camp. The Master is using you, and you are using the Master. However, there is a sense of dedication and trust in each other. You can't betray him, at most you just think about it in your heart. ”

“——”

These words left Semiramis speechless.

Didn't this Heroic Spirit just point out "something" hidden in the deepest part of itself in an extremely direct way?

After a period of silence, the empress slowly spoke:

“…… Just now, what did you say, what did you say?"

"Didn't say anything. You can't betray the Master, and because the other party has full trust in you, I'm just complimenting you on being the most ideal master-slave relationship. ”

Semiramis stared at Karna fiercely. Karna looked puzzled.

He was complimenting himself, at least in his own opinion. But such a statement -

"Thou art in ...... What stupid things to say. ”

"I'm not saying anything stupid, as the master and slave, you are the most ideal state. You will not betray him, and neither will he betray you. That's not because you will take revenge on the betrayer with the greatest punishment, but because he understands that not betraying is the most important and proper means. ”

- He will not betray.

This sentence sounds extremely noble.

Ignoring Semiramis' vacillation, Karna continued:

"I'm not going to ask you to be considerate of me for that, but you can at least accept my approach, Assassin. The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle – having said that, we are not beasts. We should have a human shell in addition to our instincts, and that is an ethic that is different for everyone. Now, it's this ethic that doesn't allow me to betray my master—because that's what I'm made of. I'm here to protect them, that's all I can say. ”

“…… That's it...... ? Well, if you like it, it's okay. ”

"Thank you Assassin. ”

Karna bowed his head deeply.

Semiramis snorted and unleashed the magic of spatial transfer.

In the moments before her body was about to disappear, she asked again:

"—Do you really think that I will not betray?"

"Are you the kind of paranoid who wants to kill the object of your love?"

Hearing this answer, Semiramis showed unprecedented panic and disappeared in a desperate posture.

Karna stood alone and exhaled softly.

"Hmm- that way, the Assassin won't be killing the master. ”

Unlike his relieved look, Semiramis returned to the throne with a blank face.

- You can't betray him, at most you just think about it in your heart.

What a ridiculous lie. It was only now that some kind of emotion that bordered on anger began to surge violently in my heart.

The blood was boiling hot.

"I can't betray me? I'm Semiramis, relying on betrayal to poison the empress who controls the Assyrian Empire!"

It's ridiculous. The reason why I didn't betray myself was just because it was fun to be on the same side as him.

If he makes him bored, she can betray at any time.

Lancer, that's ridiculous. Of course I can betray, but there is no need to betray for the time being.

Either I will betray you now, and snatch everything he is attached to and turn it to nothing.

That's right, I don't have to pander to that teenager's wayward thoughts at all. Just take it. As has been done more than once in the past, with words, fingertips, and sweet poisons, turn everything into something of your own.

Imagine his face when he was betrayed. As if in a daze, he was shocked, and as he gradually understood the facts in front of him, his face must have twisted into an angry shape. And then, the next thing must be to cry out in grief—

“…… No, not really. That guy wouldn't show such an expression, and no matter how you think about it, he won't let himself fall into that step. ”

is always at ease, and it seems that there are endless means, as if nothing can be difficult for him, and there is no way to take his own poison.

I haven't used Hydra's poison yet, which even the most powerful heroes can't withstand, but can it really work?

If it doesn't work, then can relying on magic, deception, temptation and other means really be a hindrance to him?

No way.

Probably not.

From the very beginning, when he resisted his own poison, he was vaguely aware that he followed him not only because it was fun, but also because he had no way to take him.

It's really ugly, the dignified Assyrian empress would be helpless against a man.

"But there's one thing you're wrong, lancer. From the time I was taken away by Ninus, no, when I was abandoned by my mother, I would not be tempted, so it was impossible for me to have a crush or something. ”

No way!!

No way.

No way......

The Empress leaned on the throne with her eyes blank, a hint of loneliness as cold as a thin cloud, and repeated the same words over and over again.

"Is that really the case?"

A female voice popped into her head without warning.

"Who !!?"

Semiramis instantly woke up, and the powerful magic power was held in her hand, which could be transformed into a great magic spell at any time.

At the same time, various probing magic tricks spread out within the king, looking for the source of the sound.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have scared you. ”

The voice sounded very sincere, with an inexplicable affinity.

But the owner of the garden, the Empress of Assyria, not only did not relax, but tensed her body as if she were facing a great enemy.

In the time it took for that voice to speak, she had cut off the space where the king was, and scanned it several times with magic, but found nothing unusual.

This means that the enemy either has the ability to break through the blockade of the garden space and transmit sound directly to her head, or they can perfectly avoid her detection and come and go freely in her home field, in her realm.

Either way, it means that this enemy is very scary. Although she is a little reluctant to admit it, this is really not an existence that she can cope with alone, and she needs reinforcements.

Just as she was unleashing the communication technique, the voice rang out again.

"Please don't be so nervous, I'm not hostile, and I don't have the ability to hurt you, I just want to talk to you. ”

"Okay, since you want to talk, at least let me see what you look like, so that you can be considered sincere. ”

Semiramis rolled his eyes, not in a hurry to activate the communication technique. To be honest, she was very curious about the owner of the sound.

"I'm sorry, that, I would love to be in front of you and talk to you face to face. But no, I'm far, far away. What is here is only my thoughts, there is no form, and there is no way to manifest it. I'm really sorry. ”

So what she has is the ability to break through the space blockade from a long distance. No, it's possible that they are lying, creating a false impression that I will let my guard down. To be on the safe side, it's better to inform shirou.

Semiramis replied as he pondered in his mind.

"Yes, then there is no way, I have nothing to talk about with you, please leave. If I do not leave, I will regard you as an enemy. ”

"Please, please wait a minute, I'm really not your enemy. ”

The voice in my head was a little more anxious.

"I won't take much of your time, so please trust me. ”

Semiramis was a little confused. She is good at playing with conspiracies, she has long been accustomed to speculating on others with the greatest malice, but this time she really doesn't feel a little malice - there is more than one way to let her guard down, and there is no need to put her posture so low.

It's not like harming people at all, it's asking for help.

Okay, let me see what you're up to.

Thinking so, Semiramis dissipated the communication technique in his hand.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Tell us about him. ”

"Him?"

"Well...... Shirou Kotomine, your master. ”

"Shirou?" Semiramis chuckled inwardly, "what's wrong with him?"

"What's wrong with him, what's wrong with you - you just said that you wouldn't be tempted by him?"

"Huh, so what?"

"That's not what you mean. ”

"What do you want to express?, I like him?" Semiramis's voice became scathing, "no kidding, all the people in the world are just my playthings, and I can turn them into unintentional puppets at any time." ”

"Including him?"

Her Majesty wanted to answer yes, but she knew she couldn't, so she sat on the throne in a huff.

"It's just that I haven't found his weakness yet, and one day I'll ......"

"Hehe, that's it. ”

The smile in his voice made Semiramis feel a little disagreeable.

"Thou ...... Seems to know him well. ”

"Well, I know very well, there is probably no one in this world who knows him better than I do. ”

Hearing such words, Semiramis's heart became a little more irritated for no reason.

"So, you are his old friend, and I will call him to see if what you say is true—"

"Please don't. ”

"Why, are you deceiving me?"

"I didn't lie to you, it's just that if he knew that I was secretly projecting my thoughts, we might never have had the opportunity to communicate like this again. ”

"Huh?"

"Even if you don't want to trust me, at least let me finish my words, I don't want you to regret it in the future. ”

"Regret, dare to say, you know me very well?"

"I don't know if it's an understanding or not, but I've been watching you, ever since the garden came into view, between the unreal and the real. ”

"Thou ......"

Semiramis was creepy and at the same time had an unquenchable curiosity.

"Who the hell are you? ”

"I'm his ......"

"What !!"

Hearing that faint word, the image of Semiramis as an empress collapsed.
