At Micault's banquet, the nobles of Ireland gathered.

King Commack's daughter is about to get engaged tonight, and the other party is Finn, the leader of the Knights of Fiona.

However, the young Princess Grannie is reluctant to marry the old hero who can be her grandfather.

"Swap my love for your sacred vows, dear one, please stop this ridiculous marriage and take me away!"

The girl's eyes ignited the love of the knight Dilumudo.

He knew it was a fire of purgatory that would consume him, but he couldn't resist it.

A heavy oath and a loyalty to this day...... Which side is the right path? Dilumudo did not find an answer to his death.

What prompted him to make a decision must not be the so-called honor.

In this way, one of the most beautiful tragic love stories in Celtic mythology was staged.

――――――――――――――――――――

Through that wonderful dream, Kenneth awoke from his deep sleep.

Magicians who have signed contracts with the Servant will occasionally glimpse the memories of the Heroic Spirits in this form.

"But why am I here?"

Kenneth looked around and found himself in an abandoned factory.

Think about it carefully......

He followed Caster to the forests of Einzbelen, and after the Heroic Spirits began to fight, he broke into the enemy's castle and faced off against Emiya Kiritsugu......

Kenneth clenched his fists, as if to clench his irrepressible passion, for he woke up with no hands or feet.

"What's going on......"

Kenneth's mind was clouded with doubt and fear, and his body couldn't move.

If you just can't get up, forget it. Kenneth had already found himself bound with a belt around his chest and abdomen, presumably as a means of preventing him from moving around during the treatment. However, it is unsettling to feel nothing in the limbs that are not bound in any way.

"You're awake. Sora's voice came from out of sight.

"Sora?!What the hell is going on...... Y-Why am I?"

"Lancer rescued you from a desperate situation and brought you here. Sora said lightly, "What, don't you remember?"

"I ......"

Kenneth finally realizes the cruelty of reality, and he loses the duel, relying on the Servant to save his life.

He had blocked the enemy's bullets with his magic suit, but he lost consciousness in a sharp pain that had arisen for unknown reasons, and when he woke up, he found himself lying here.

Sora rubbed Kenneth's wrist like a doctor, but he didn't feel touched at all.

"There are signs of violent magic circuits all over the body, internal organs are almost completely ruptured, and even muscles and nerves are damaged to varying degrees, and it is already a miracle that he did not die on the spot. I only have time to repair your internal organs, and the nerves are powerless. Even if I gradually recover later, it is difficult to get out of bed and walk. And ......"

Listening to her bland words, Kenneth's heart gradually became overshadowed by despair.

Self-inflicted injuries caused by a magical rampage are the ultimate disaster for all magicians. Although Kenneth always thought that he would not encounter such a thing, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.

"Moreover, your magic circuit is also reimbursed, and it is impossible to use magic again in this life. ”

"I ...... I ......"

Kenneth, once known as a genius, is now like a helpless child, cowardly holding back tears.

"Don't cry, Kenneth. The Holy Grail War isn't over yet. Sora gently stroked his face and said, "As long as I can still provide Lancer with magic, we can continue to fight." ”

Who and who do we mean by "we"? Kenneth no longer has the energy to think about it.

"If the Holy Grail really grants all wishes, then it can also heal your body. As long as this war is won, everything will be fine. ”

"Sola ......"

Her words gave Kenneth great hope, and his fiancée's encouragement inspired him more than anything else.

However, Kenneth always had an inexplicable uneasiness hovering in his heart, lingering.

Perhaps sensing his misgivings, Sora smiled motherly, took his right wrist and said, "So, let me take your place as Lancer's Master and claim the Holy Grail for you." ”

"No, no!" Kenneth refused Sora's offer without hesitation.

(Now all I have left is the Command Spell, and I must not let go!)

Looking at Kenneth with a frightened face, Sora whispered like a child: "You can't trust me, although there is no magic mark, but I am also a magician of Sophiali's family, is there anything wrong with fighting in place of my fiancé?"

"No, but ......"

Sora was right, Kenneth couldn't even protect himself now, let alone be on the battlefield. If the assassin is encountered, the consequences are unimaginable.

Sora's ability as a magician is far inferior to Kenneth's, but the key to the Holy Grail War is originally in Servant, and if she can use Lancer's power flexibly, she may not be unable to win.

In order for the Servant to obey the command, the Command Charm is indispensable, but ......

Kenneth suddenly remembered that on the night of the first battle, Sora looked at Lancer with the warmth of a young girl, and she had never looked at her fiancé with such eyes.

If Sola is just admiring a beautiful man, that's fine. It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and husbands should not be obsessed with such trivial things.

However, Lancer is more than just a beautiful man.

Kenneth tried to calm his tone and said, "Sora, do you think Lancer will turn his allegiance to you?"

"His goal is the Holy Grail. Sora said without hesitation: "Even if the Master is replaced, it will not affect this pursuit." ”

As she said, the reason why the Heroic Spirits answer the magician's call is to receive the Holy Grail and fulfill their wishes.

Therefore, when the Masters summon the Heroic Spirit, they will first ask what the other person's wish is. Without clarity, there is no way to build trust between the two sides.

Kenneth also questioned Dilumudo about his wishes. The latter, however, said that he did not pursue the Holy Grail, but only wanted to be loyal to the end as a knight.

Kenneth didn't believe Lancer's words, believing that the Servant had other intentions.

(Lancer must not be left alone with Sora, as he did that in his lifetime...... Isn't eloping with the monarch's fiancée a treacherous traitor...... ）

Thinking of this, Kenneth asserted, "I can't give you the spell. ”

"Looks like you don't understand...... Sora sighed meaningfully and said, "Kenneth, you still don't understand why we have to win. ”

Click!

Kenneth's little finger was broken by Sora, but it didn't hurt in any way, which added to his fear.

Next, the girl broke four of her fiancé's fingers, and he had no ability to resist or run away.

"Kenneth, do you know? My psychic healing technique has not yet been cultivated to the point where I can forcibly remove the Command Spell, so I have to ask for your consent. As if teaching a child who has done something wrong, Sora said in a calm tone, "If you still don't want to...... Then I'll have to cut off your right hand, is that okay?"
