Undoubtedly, Illya, who was fed up with the bondage and powerlessness in this castle, chose the second option without much consideration.
The experience of the past two years has made this innocent child deeply understand the importance of strength and power. Isn't everything around her taken away because of the flirtatious words of the high-ranking patriarch? If it wasn't for Mei Lu who brought her here today, Illya knew that she might have been kept in the dark until she died, and she had always hated Kiritsugu who abandoned her, turning all the suffering she had suffered into resentment and projecting it onto this place. In the end, the father will accumulate to the point where he wants to kill him before he can vent it.
But now, after learning the truth and discovering that her father did not betray her, dragging his broken body and trying to take her back, the hatred and anger of being deceived in the little girl naturally turned to treating her harshly. on the family.
"Wait!" Just when the master and servant had finished discussing the conclusion of changing the Patriarch of Einzbern on their own, Emiya Kiritsugu had to remind the girls, "If you want to talk to Ahad Ong, I want to take over everything about Einzbern. Apart from mastering the magic mechanism of this castle, how can I deal with the massive army of androids? Under their heavy protection, Ahadeon will not easily Let you assassinate at close quarters?"
Regarding this, Illya directly raised her head and looked at her maid with a questioning look, while the other party bent her lips and smiled when she heard the words, that mysterious and confident smile made Emiya Kiritsugu stunned, recalling the mastery of what the maid said. After over ninety-five percent of the rhetoric of the magic mechanism, a terrible conjecture about artificial humans suddenly came to mind.
A canopy of hot blood splattered on the wall, accompanied by an old but precious figure who fell down, and the scene that could be called the crowd of onlookers was completely silent at this moment.
The eighth-generation patriarch of the Einzbern family, "Ubstakuhaid von Einzbern", was assassinated in full view. Before he died, his eyes were wide open in astonishment, not only because of the The enchantment and mechanism of his body are out of control, and it is because when he summoned his guards, the weapons raised by the guards who swarmed over were not to protect him, but pointed at himself—until he died, he did not understand why the guards in the castle The androids all rebelled overnight.
At this time, the murderer also opened his red eyes, and covered his mouth with a pair of small hands, also with an expression of disbelief. The great-grandfather who was so lofty and irresistible in the impression died like this? Was she killed so easily
"Melu, did we win?" The little girl with blood on her hands and face turned her head to look at the maid not far behind.
"Yes, Miss." The maid nodded, "Now you are the owner of this castle."
"Long live!" After getting an affirmative reply, the silver-haired girl ignored the blood on her body and cheered with her hands raised high, "We won! Ahaha we won!" No one in this narrow and cold castle could Bullying oppresses them!
While Illya was happily circling and cheering, the androids around them knelt down on one knee, bowing their heads to the new ninth-generation patriarch, Ilyasfeld von Einzbern, to show their allegiance.
This scene also fell into the eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu who was sneaked in. After seeing his daughter easily kill a relative with the help of a maid, this man was able to laugh innocently, There was a dead silence.
"Illya, after dealing with the castle, how about going to Japan with Dad?"
Regaining freedom and rights, in the study that only the patriarch is qualified to use, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at his daughter sitting on the gorgeous study chair and swayed her legs, and persuaded him gently. He has already realized that his daughter's mind has obviously undergone a terrible distortion during the two years he left. If she does not give normal ethical teachings, then...
The little girl was holding all kinds of seals or classics that only the patriarch could use on the desk, watching and playing with them very curiously, when she heard her father's words "go to Japan", she immediately showed an angry expression, she clenched her fists and refused loudly: "No! Kiritsugu It's a big liar, I don't want to go with the big liar!"
"Illya..."
"Don't think I'll forgive you if you've been picking me up all the time!" Ilya crossed her arms and crossed her legs, turning her head in an old-fashioned and arrogant manner, her little mouth pouted high, "You're carrying Did I agree to the fact that I adopted a child in Fuyuki? I don’t want to go with you if I always do such wicked things, let alone live with your adopted child, huh!”
Almost forgot about this.
Knowing the source of his daughter's temper, Kiritsugu softened his tone and first apologized softly: "I really have to apologize to you for this matter, Illya. I'm sorry, I adopted a child without discussing it with you. But Illya, There is a reason why Dad did this, you listen to Dad explain... "
The news from Einzbern to Illya was very brief and scattered, especially at the end when it was said that Kiritsugu betrayed the family and settled down in Japan. There was no ins and outs at all, and it was Illya's biggest knot in the past two years. , Now I can listen to my father explaining the reason himself. Although the little girl still acts indifferent, in fact, her ears have been pricked up to listen to the details.
"The Holy Grail has been polluted. During the third Holy Grail War 60 years ago, it absorbed the servant 'Angola Mainyu' summoned by Einzbern, which is 'All the evil in this world' After that, the nature of the Holy Grail's wish power changed. Although the function of "fulfilling the victor's wish" did not change after the Holy Grail was polluted, the way of realizing the wish was added with endless "maliciousness". Forms that bring destruction and catastrophe are realized.”
Emiya Kiritsugu explained very slowly and in detail.
"That is to say, if Dad wishes [world peace] to the Holy Grail, the way the Holy Grail fulfills Dad's wish is likely to be [destroy human beings] or [destroy the world]. Without human beings or all living things, the world is also very peaceful, right? The same is true for other people's wishes. In order to prevent its birth, Dad ordered Saber to destroy the Holy Grail at the end. Unexpectedly, "maliciousness" flowed out of the Holy Grail, triggering the fire in Fuyuki City. There are many people in that city devoured…”
"... Dad has been looking for survivors, and in the end he only saved one child, who is my adopted son. His name is Shirou Emiya, and he is one year younger than Illya. He is a younger brother."
After listening to her father's words, Illya fell silent. Long before her parents participated in the Holy Grail War, Illya had heard the words "save the world" more than once from their mouths. I can understand.
But it's just understanding, she doesn't intend to accept it.
"So what, anyway, I don't want to live with you there!" Thinking of how hard she has suffered in the past two years, while that cheap brother is enjoying the love of her own father, Ilya couldn't be more bitter , "If you want to go, you go, anyway, I still have Mei Lu, I don't need you, a villain!"
Emiya Kiritsugu smiled wryly at this little temper that sounded like angry words, and when he was about to speak, the maid who had been standing in the room without speaking suddenly interrupted.
"Miss, this is not acceptable. Put your husband back in Japan now, you will regret it later." Meilu's words made the father and daughter turn to look at her at the same time. Did you find out? The reason why Mr.'s body is getting more and more dilapidated is that when he chopped up the Holy Grail to prevent the birth of "all the evils in this world", he was also cursed by that strong malice. It will take less than three years for Mr.'s body to collapse Is it okay to be bad and die in the end?"
"How could it be!?" The maid's warning made Ilia, who was still playing with her temper, suddenly turn pale with fright, she jumped off the chair in two or three steps, ran to her father and looked up and down in panic, "Kiritsugu will die!? I don't want it !"
Her mother had already died in the Holy Grail War. Although she hated this villainous father, Illya never thought of killing him. She couldn't afford to lose it long ago!
It was only then that Emiya Kiritsugu realized why he had been getting weaker and weaker all these years, and it became difficult to even perform the most basic small magic tricks. It turned out that... he was cursed.
"So sir, not only can't leave now, but he has to live in the castle for a while, at least the curse must be lifted so that the eldest lady can feel at ease." Looking at Ilya who was still looking worried, the maid's smile was gentle and peaceful, " Miss, have you forgotten? You are now the patriarch of Einzbern, the owner of this ancient man-made man-made house, and you have plenty of methods and resources to lift the curse on Mr.
"That's right!" The little girl who didn't have any sense of patriarch realized that she had successfully seized power, and immediately threw her father into the arms of the maid happily, "Melu, you are the most powerful!"
"You're too much." The maid said with a smile, "Actually, lifting the curse on your husband is just a trivial matter, and the physical transformation of the little Holy Grail on your body is the next focus."
Emiya Kiritsugu, who was originally speechless, immediately became serious when he heard Merru mention Illya's body.
"I have checked the classics in the castle, and the magic circuit on your body is too large and complicated. Although this makes your magic power full and overwhelmingly strong, it also seriously aggravates the burden on your body. Maintaining a nine-year-old appearance has shortened your lifespan extremely, you yourself know about this, right?"
Illya nodded silently upon hearing this, and the maid continued.
"According to my calculations, you can only live until you are eighteen years old at most before you die. It's just right, and it was also the year when the fifth Holy Grail War that Lord Ahad predicted would come ahead of schedule started last year."
This time it was Emiya Kiritsugu's turn to change his expression.
