Outside the abandoned factory where Kenneth was hiding, a forest grew in the quiet of the night.

Sora took a deep breath to calm her excited brain, and then shouted to Lancer, who was patrolling, "Lancer, come out, I have something to tell you." ”

Heroic Dilumudo immediately responded to Sora's call and materialized in front of her.

This is a pretty good-looking man.

With a high nose, sensual lips, a knife-and-axe facial contour, and a look full of pride and confidence, every part of him exudes a strong masculine charm, and the light leather armor highlights the lean body of a raptor.

Before, Sora could only stare at him secretly and sigh inwardly. And now, there seems to be some kind of emotion in her body that is heating up sharply.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, right?"

"It's safe now. Lancer replied respectfully, "Despite the monsters summoned by Caster wandering around, Master Kenneth's barrier is still strong, and they can't find it." ”

Sola breathed a sigh of relief. Since Lancer was seriously patrolling, he wouldn't have known what had just happened.

"By the way, how is Lord Kenneth?"

"Not so good. Sora shook her head and said, "Although I have taken some measures...... His arm was broken, and his leg was probably gone. ”

"If I had found out about the situation earlier, Master wouldn't have been in that desperate situation......" Lancer hung his head gloomily, Kenneth blaming himself for being hurt like this.

"You can't be blamed for this, Kenneth is completely self-inflicted, he's in too much of a hurry. ”

"But ......"

Seeing Lancer's speechless appearance, Sola made up her mind and said to him, "Dilumudo, he doesn't deserve to be your Master. ”

Lancer was silent, he looked up to meet Sora's gaze, the girl casually taking the harsh gaze, and then raising her right hand.

On the back of Sora's hand, there are three spells that originally belonged to Kenneth.

"Kenneth gave up the fight and gave me the rights of the Master. From now on, you will be my Servant. ”

"......" Lancer lowered his head silently, and after a moment said, "Lord Sora, I can't promise you. I've sworn allegiance to Master Kenneth. ”

"Why?" Hearing this unexpected answer, Sora immediately panicked: "You were originally the Servant I summoned, and I am your true master!"

"It doesn't matter who is called. Lancer hung his head apologetically and said in a solemn tone, "I was a knight before I became a Servant. I will never abandon my lord. Sora-sama, please forgive me. ”

“...... Dilumudo, do you think I'm not qualified to be your master?"

"I don't think so......"

"Look into my eyes and speak!"

Hearing Sora's scream, Lancer finally looked up and looked her straight in the eye. The girl's eyes filled with tears, which reminded the Heroic Spirit of the Throne of Guns of the painful memories that had caused him so much pain.

That year, Dilumudo also met a young girl who was crying to him in such a cold wind.

“...... Lancer, fight with me. ”

"I can't do it. Lancer shook his head and said, "Now that Lord Kenneth has given up the fight, the Holy Grail doesn't mean much to me anymore. ”

Sora was so excited that she almost said something she shouldn't have said, but she held back. When her mood calmed down, the girl continued, "If you are still Kenneth's knight, then you must take the Holy Grail. He is in terrible health right now, and only the miraculous power of the Holy Grail can heal him. ”

“...... Sora-sama, did you want to take the Holy Grail to help Lord Kenneth?"

"Yes, yes. In the face of Lancer's calm gaze, Sora's expression was a little unnatural.

"Will you swear? Swear you don't have two hearts. ”

At this moment, Sora wanted to cry. She longed to throw herself into Dilumudo's arms and confide her heart to him.

(No, I can't tell him yet)

"I swear that after taking the Holy Grail, I will use its miraculous power to heal Kenneth. ”

Lancer's expression finally softened.

His expression wasn't even a smile now, but it made Sora feel supremely happy.

(Finally able to be with him!)

No matter what form it takes, as long as she can establish a bond with this man, she will be satisfied.

He is not human, but a servant summoned by the Holy Grail. However, the girl's mind will not change because of this.

In the past, Sora was raised as a puppet. Born into the Sophia family, a famous demon who already has a son-in-law, this is the beginning of her misfortune.

The girl's only value lies in the demonic bloodline in her body, and she was destined to be used for political marriages when she was born.

Sora has never been given the right to choose, and can only be manipulated like a doll by the being named Parent. In her cold heart, she never felt any emotion about the fact that she wanted to call that man her husband.

The day she met Dilumudo, the girl realized that she was not a puppet. She is a human being of flesh and blood and feelings, and she craves love like all maidens.

Now, a girl named Sola has finally been given a chance to change her fate, and she will not allow anyone to stand in her way.

After the conversation, Lancer continued to make his rounds outside.

Sora's words still echoed in his ears, and it reminded him of another person......

Princess Grannie.

It was she who allowed herself to carry a sacred oath and leave the glorious way of knighthood. Even so, he didn't hate her.

Even if she was only attracted by his appearance and carried away by the so-called love, the choice of running away from the engagement banquet was an extremely big decision for her. Family affection, fame, and predictable prosperity and wealth...... Granny left it all behind and eloped with him. She should have been well aware of what that meant, but she was not afraid to choose this path of no return.

In the eyes of others, Dilumudo may be the real victim, but he never thought of it that way. He felt more heartache about Grannie's situation than his own pain.

The so-called oath is not just a matter of words, it contains endless trials and entanglements. Dilumudo has always regretted that he has not been faithful, and admires Grannie for her steadfast faith.

The road of love between a knight and a princess is full of thorns.

Carried away by anger and jealousy, Finn pursues them like a mad beast. Dilumudo protects the princess, but he is determined not to fight his former companions. However, when Finn's allies recruited more pursuers from abroad, Dilumudo had no choice but to raise his guns.

The man who was once praised for his loyalty is now using his power on the way to escape.

What is loyalty, and what is love?

With each enemy killed, a crack was made in the knight's heart. Even in the midst of such pain, Dilumudo's twin spears did not hesitate to pierce the bodies of every enemy and send them into the realm of the dead.

Finn was the first to realize that these sacrifices were meaningless, and stopped hunting the princess and the knight. Subsequently, the king also recognized the marriage between the two.

Dilumudo got the peace he had always wanted, but it became the trigger for tragedy.

Finn did not forgive Dilumudo, knowing that the latter had been cursed with "being killed by a boar", so he deliberately created an encounter between Dilumudo and the boar.

Eventually, Dilumudo died along with a giant boar, but he didn't hold a grudge against anyone. In addition to suffering and sorrow, there are many precious things in his life. Since he has lived seriously once, there is no need to deny anything, the suffering he has encountered is just a joke played by fate.

When the call of the Holy Grail came, Dimuludo accepted it without hesitation. This time, he wanted to be loyal to the lord as a knight.

However, Kenneth doesn't believe in Lancer's loyalty, and Sora's feelings for the Heroic Spirit make him jealous.

And now, the master, who is in a hurry, has suffered an unprecedented crushing defeat in the enemy castle and has completely lost his ability to fight. As an agent, Sora is bewitched by her own demonic black mole, and the situation has become unbelievably worse.

It was supposed to be a battle of atonement, and he didn't want the tragedy to happen again.

(What should I do?)

Lancer couldn't find an answer, so he could only stare at the moon in silence.
