"You incompetent!

For the head-on scolding, Lancer could only bow his head and endure it silently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"With only such a little time, I can't even protect a woman, hmph, I dare to say what kind of knighthood I am ashamed to say!"

Kenneth scolded, but Kenneth was more anxious and angry than Lancer, who was ashamed of his gaffe. He is triolating at the new spell, but reality once again plunges him into the cold abyss, and Sora disappears, leaving Lancer to return to him with a gloomy face.

"Although it is only a temporary replacement, Sora is still your master! Even the master can't protect it, what's the use of asking you as a servant? You dare to come back alone with a cheeky face!"

“…… It's a shame. ”

Lancer shook his head feebly. His innate beauty was distorted by grief, telling that he also felt remorse for the way things had turned into such a remorseful state.

"Forgive me for being rude, my lord...... I don't have a formal contractual relationship with Lady Sola, so I can't detect each other's breath......"

That's why we should be more cautious. ”

Kenneth let out a merciless shout, interrupting the Servant's defense.

Under normal circumstances, the master and the servant are bound together by a contract, and whenever one of them is in danger, the other party will sense it through the breath.

However, this time, Lancer and Sola did not conclude a formal contract according to the rules of Contract Magic, so they went straight to the battle. Lancer's obsession with Kenneth's allegiance hurts him.

By the time Lancer returned to the Winterwood Center Building from the battle, Sola was gone. The only thing that is certain is that Sora is still alive, and the magic that supports Lancer's presence and activity is still flowing into his body.

If it's another servant, maybe you can sense the general direction of her location through the way of mana supply. Unfortunately, the contract that Lancer has concluded is a special contract that separates the contractor from the mana provider, and the connection with the mana provider is weak. Even if it could be assumed that Sora was still alive, Lancer didn't know where the magic came from. Without any clues, it was in vain to search for Xindu, and in the end, he had to come back alone.

"Ahh......h I really shouldn't have given her the spell...... Magic battles are just too difficult for her..."

"Failure to advise the whole is also responsible in Lower Dilumudo. But Lady Sora's decision is also because she hopes that you, Master Kenneth, will be able to make a comeback. In that case, please must-"

Kenneth looked at Lancer with dim eyes clouded by jealousy.

"You still have the face to say such things. Don't play dumb, Lancer, you must have been the one who egged on Sora, right?"

"What...... It's impossible for a subordinate to do that......"

"It's really the same as the legend, even for the lord's fiancée, it's still difficult to restrain the use of charm. ”

Lancer's shoulders trembled violently as he knelt on the ground with his head bowed.

"-My lord, please take back that sentence-"

"Hmph, did I say yes? Can't hold back your anger? So you're going to show me your true face of ferocity?"

Kenneth continues to sneer at the Heroic Spirit, who is suppressing his agitation.

"You're finally showing your feet. Saying that he swears allegiance and does not ask for anything in return, he is actually just a beast driven by lust. What kind of knightly way do you think you can fool my Kenneth eyes?"

"Master Kenneth...... Why, why don't you just understand?"

Lancer's voice was almost choked.

"I just, I just want to defend my honor! I just want to fight a glorious war with you! Why don't you understand the heart of a knight, my lord?"

"Don't act like it's true, Servant!"

Kenneth coldly and mercilessly reprimanded Lancer, ignoring his confiding. His suspicion and resentment towards Lancer finally crossed the tipping point at this point.

"Servant, recognize who you are! You are only a shadow of a magic trick! Your so-called honor and dignity are only the whispers of the dead. He even dared to preach to his master beyond his measure!"

“！！！”

The humiliating silence of the Heroic Spirit made Kenneth feel the joy of sadism. The magician deliberately shoved the spell he had obtained again in front of Lancer, shouting at the taunt.

"If you feel unwilling, use the glory you have been boasting about against the curse against me. Hmph, you can't do it, right? Because the Servant is such a puppet. ”

“…… Kenneth... Adult ......"

Facing Kenneth, who was laughing maniacally, Lancer didn't refute anything, still hanging his head. The drooping shoulders and the empty eyes looking at the ground have lost the pride of dancing the two guns and resisting the heroes.

Just as Kenneth was enjoying the joy of the change and Lancer's heart was like ashes, a sigh suddenly rang out in the empty factory.

"Ahh ”

Kenneth's face changed suddenly, and Lancer subconsciously manifested two spears, and he wanted to protect the master. But before he could stand up, he found that he had an extra purple sword around his neck.

The Lord of the Shadows, the Queen of the Demon Realm, appeared at Kenneth's side with a sword. Her lord was sitting on the windowsill leisurely, smiling at Lancer and Kenneth.

Lancer clenched his guns, but didn't dare to act rashly, just asked, "Assassin, what do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little regretful, regretting that you saved your lord in the castle of Einzberen. Skaha's cold gaze made Kenneth feel creepy, "If I knew he was such a person, I should have killed him with a knife." ”

"It's my fault. Shinji touched his nose embarrassedly, jumped off the windowsill, and approached step by step, "I took it for granted that he still had the demeanor and conduct that a traditional aristocrat should have, but I didn't expect that he would be reduced to such a waste after being hit by reality. Your Majesty, if I said something like that to you, would you shoot me to death?"

"No, it won't. I'm just going to keep you out of bed for half a year. ”

Skaha's answer put Shinji into the same state as Kenneth.

"Well, then you'd better stab me to death. Now, I said Lancer, why don't I finish this thing here and help you get rid of it?"

"No, never, Assassin Master. Lancer lowered his gun and pleaded, "He's my lord of Dilumudo's allegiance, no matter what happens, I'll only have one lord in this life, and if you really do, I'll see you as an enemy." ”

"Don't be so rigid. Shinji measured out the "Sharpshooter Bow Knife", and the blade condensed by magic power rubbed back and forth on Kenneth's face, "If something like that happened in your life, you should also wake up--there is an old Chinese saying that 'a good bird chooses a tree to perch on', and a person like you should follow a more wise lord, what do you think of Saber? You are a noble knight, she is a noble knight king, isn't she a good lord and minister?"

"Say no more, Master Assassin, that's an insult to me!"

Lancer is determined and unwavering.

"When the lord is at fault, the courtiers can advise and grieve, but they will never turn their backs on the king. ”

"Even if Finn framed you with a conspiracy, he won't regret it?"

"No regrets!"

"Even if your current master orders you to commit suicide?"

"This—" Lancer gritted his teeth, still spitting out two words, "No regrets!"

"Stupid, stupid. ”

Shinji felt a burst of madness, and even sacrificed his ultimate, why is it still like this?

"This is the true way of knighthood, this is the real knight. Skaha winked at Shinji, who still hadn't said the second half of her sentence - that's why they're admirable, and that's why I don't want to see that end.

"Knight, knight way..."Shinji understood, sighed and took Skaha's place, "Although I don't understand, but the times are different, Lancer, people nowadays don't talk about knighthood, this is the biggest difference between you and your master." His allegiance to him means that you are completely under his commands, and must not be disobeyed. You, on the other hand, are holding your lord to the standard of a knightly lord, and it would have been better if you had made it clear at the beginning—no, no, with Lord Almeroi's conceited and paranoid personality, he wouldn't have listened to you, right, Director Ken!"

In the end, Shinji cut Kenneth's skin with a crooked cut, and Kenneth was so frightened that he said, "Yes, yes! That's what I thought." ”

"I said, Director Ken, have you thought about why there are only three spells, and if you follow your thoughts, why not use more spells to erase the subjectivity of the servants and turn them into puppets completely? I think many proud and conceited magicians like you have the same idea. ”

"This—" Kenneth thought, of course, but didn't get an answer.

"I'll tell you. The so-called heroic spirits, no matter whether they are good or evil in their lives, no matter how they are evaluated by later generations, they are all heroes in their lifetimes, their strength, their souls are far higher than ordinary people, such existences, even if they become servants, they are not puppets! They are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side with the master! In history, every master who vainly tries to treat the heroic spirits as puppets, none of them has a good end. From the moment you use them as tools, you're doomed. ”

Shinji's words made Kenneth pale, and he didn't know if he was really touched or frightened. However, Shinji didn't care about Kenneth's attitude, he was only here tonight to complete the agreement with Skaha and give Dilumudo a relatively happy ending.

"I might as well tell you that your fiancée, Sora, was taken from the big top floor in the center of the new capital by me - after Caster's death, of course, I have a good sense of contract. By the way, the Assassin left a mark on you when he saved you, and we know exactly what you've been doing these days. I can say responsibly that Lancer doesn't have the slightest thought about Miss Sora, believe it or not. ”

"Assassin Master, you ......" Lancer paused, not knowing whether to be grateful or resentful.

"It's useless to say that now, Kenneth, I'll give you two choices, either I'll kill you now, and then order my men to kill Miss Sora, and get you out of the game once and for all. Or, you use your Command Spell to order Lancer to fight my Assassin, and as long as Lancer wins, I'll release them. I'll give you ten seconds to choose, and if there's no answer after ten seconds, I'll default to you choosing the first one-"

Without waiting for a second count, Kenneth immediately gave the answer, and there was no choice from the beginning.

"I, I'll choose, I'll choose the second, but if you regret it—"

"Are you stupid?" Shinji looked at Kenneth with disdain, "This battle is destined to have only one person alive, and if the Assassin lives, you won't be able to do it." If Lancer were alive, do you think I would be able to beat the Servant?

With the last glimmer of hope in his arms, Kenneth lamentantly stroked the spell that had only been in his hands for a few hours, and invoked his last authority as the Lord of Lancer.

"Order with the Command, Lancer, Kill the Assassin!"

"Yes, my master!"

The first time, the first time he was summoned, Lancer accepted the spell in its entirety of his own volition.

The red and yellow spears pierced the night sky like two bolts of lightning.
