Sora left contentedly, taking the Command Seals she had desired.
Kenneth fainted again. Compared to a few minutes ago, the red emblem on the back of his right hand was gone, and there were several more bandages on each of his five right fingers.
This time he fell into a coma not because of physical weakness, but because of anger and fear.
Kenneth did not hand over the Command Seals voluntarily, but was threatened by his fiancée.
After Kenneth refused her request to give up her Command Spell, the woman with short red hair broke Kenneth's fingers one by one with an expressionless face.
"With psychic healing of this level, it is impossible to forcibly remove the Command Seals, unless the person himself agrees. If you insist on not agreeing, then I can only cut off your right hand."
Sora's tone was as gentle as before, but her words plunged Kenneth into an abyss of anger and despair, and he finally lost consciousness as if escaping from himself.
After Sora left, Shinji removed the invisibility of his cloak, his face showing a deep look that did not match his age.
"Kenneth, your greatest tragedy is that the person you love doesn't love you back and falls in love with another man. Political marriages are prone to cause such problems."
Sora Nazelai Sophiali, the daughter of the Sophiali family, who have served as the deans of the Department of Spirit Advent in the Clock Tower for many years, is not a legitimate child and is not eligible to inherit the magic mark. Her fate has been determined since birth - to be used as a tool for political marriage.
Fortunately, the person Sora was to marry was Kenneth, who fell in love with her at first sight and was deeply in love with her. Both the Archipelud family and the Sofiali family were happy to see this happen and thought they were a very suitable match.
If Kayneth had not been stigmatized, had not come to Fuyuki City, and had not participated in the Holy Grail War, the fate of the two might have been as many people expected—marrying with countless blessings, having children, and the two families united to move towards new glory. Kayneth would have shocked the magic world again and again with his achievements, and people would be amazed to the point of numbness; Sora would be at ease taking care of her husband and children, and be envied and jealous by countless ladies.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Kayneth summoned Diarmuid, who was known as the "Glorious Face", and Sora fell in love with this handsome knight from the first day he saw Diarmuid. It was not because of the charm of the teardrop mole, but because of the mutual attraction between men and women, just like when Kayneth saw Sora.
The wheel of fate turned a corner on the broad road and headed for a rugged path with abysses on both sides.
"Finn, Grani; Kenneth, Sora. Whether in life or death, Diarmuid cannot escape such a fate. How ironic."
Scathach also sighed, she felt sad for the noble knight.
Finn Markle, the leader of the Fianna Knights to which Diarmuid belongs, a great hero with supreme wisdom and in charge of healing water, is about to be engaged to Granny, the daughter of Cormac Mark Art, King of Ireland.
The two sides held a grand engagement banquet at Tara's palace, and everyone offered their blessings for this marriage.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, except for the young and beautiful Princess Granny who was unhappy. Her fiancé Finn was old enough to be her grandfather, and she didn't want to marry such a man.
At the climax of the banquet, she saw a young knight, Diarmuid, the "Face of Gloriousness" who was given the highest honor and was called "the sweetheart of women in the world", and she fell in love with him.
At the end of the party, when everyone was drunk, she found him.
"In exchange for my love and your sacred vows, my dear, please stop this absurd marriage. Take me away... to the end of the sky, to the other side of the world!"
The girl who spoke to him with tears in her eyes ignited the flame of the hero's love with her eyes.
It was the infernal fire that would consume his body... The hero had already understood it by then.
But he couldn't resist.
The hero held the princess's hand and together they gave up their bright future.
In this way, a tragic love story that inherits Celtic mythology began.
The hero and the princess escaped for sixteen years.
At the end of the story, Diarmuid reconciled with Finn through the mediation of his adoptive father Angus.
But Finn did not really forgive Diarmuid. He knew that Diarmuid had been given a geis that said he would "die at the hands of a wild boar (his half brother)", and he deliberately created an encounter between Diarmuid and the wild boar.
After Diarmuid was seriously injured by the wild boar, Finn knew that his healing water could save Diarmuid, but he deliberately leaked the water in his fingers twice. When he took the water for the third time, Diarmuid had stopped breathing.
Could it be that today, more than a thousand years later, after being promoted to a heroic spirit and summoned from this body, the same story will be repeated again
Scathach walked over to the broken window and looked through the factory fence.
In the cold wind, Sora looked at Diarmuid with tears in his eyes and eager eyes.
"Lancer, fight with me, protect me, support me, and get the Holy Grail with me."
How similar is Sora now to Granny back then
But this time, Diarmuid refused. He would not make the same choice as before, betraying his master.
"I was only a knight before I became a Servant, and I have sworn allegiance to Master Kayneth. If Master Kayneth gives up the Holy Grail, then the Holy Grail will have no meaning to me. Master Sora, I cannot promise you, please forgive me."
"Is he serious?" Yustisa didn't believe or understand what Lancer said. Her understanding of humans was not deep enough and she didn't understand the complexity of human hearts.
There is a reason why Heroic Spirits are summoned as Servants to participate in the Holy Grail War. Like their Masters, they also have wishes they want to fulfill, so they respond to the summons and fight alongside their Masters.
"It is true that without a wish, there will be no response to the call, but the Holy Grail is not necessary to fulfill a wish. Diarmuid is such a special case."
Shinji said as he looked through his memories.
"His wish is to follow his loyal master until death, and to fulfill the glory that he failed to achieve as a knight in his lifetime. Whether he wins in the end, or dies in defeat, as long as he stays with his master, his wish will be fulfilled. Really, he is a simple and pedantic guy."
Because of his naivety, it makes people feel sad, whether it is the legends before his death or his ending in the original world line.
"Shinji—" Scathach turned around and glanced at her Master. She saw his dream and knew a lot, including a world called Type-Moon created by a certain fungus.
"I won't let that happen." Shinji raised his head and gave a childish smile.
You have graduated from this world, and I have not.
If you don't want to interfere, I will.
I'll give Diarmuid a relatively satisfactory ending for you.
PS: geis, also spelled as geas/geiss/ges, plural form geasa, translated as taboo, prohibition or oath. It plays a very important role in Celtic mythology, but it is also the most secret part. It can enhance the strength of heroes, but it can also become their weakness. Please search Baidu for details.
PS2: The reason why Brush and Granny eloped was because Granny put a geis on Brush.
PS3: Scathach is actually a bit tsundere. She says she has graduated from the real world and doesn't care about anything anymore, but when she sees a battle or something related to warriors, she still can't help but get involved. This is well reflected in "Fategrandorder", especially the swimsuit event. Anyone who has played it will fall in love with the master.
PS4: Don't question the horror of the Master's original Runes. The Assassin class is the one who used Runes to modify his own spiritual base. Moreover, at the end of the swimsuit event, the Master directly placed runes on the earth, causing the wild boars, who had acquired a civilization that was no less advanced than that of humans, to forget all technology and civilization and directly regress to the primitive age. Shinji's version is already a weakened version.
PS5: Stop mocking the brush for saying one thing and doing another. The so-called chivalry is such a pitfall. In China, it is natural to use tactics to defeat the strong with the weak, but in the West, especially in the era when chivalry was prevalent, it was dishonorable and not in line with the spirit of chivalry. In that era, chivalry was like a religion, a belief, a bit like the struggle between theocracy and imperial power. It was not surprising to choose either side when the two conflicted. There is no need to question Diarmuid's loyalty, and his actions are in line with the spirit of chivalry. If you really want to say something wrong, just blame that era and chivalry.
PS6: It is a misunderstanding that Westerners do not use strategies in war. Alexander, Hannibal and others all had very classic strategic battles, but they were not rigid knights. Once again, there may not be as many classic strategic battles in the West as in the East, but it does not mean that Westerners are stupid and do not know how to use strategies. They are just trapped by the system and society.
