Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 30 Irisviel's Troubles
Unlike the noisy atmosphere during the day, the forest at night is very quiet. There is almost no noise around the castle and it sounds silent.

"Well……"

Despite being in such a comfortable environment, Irisviel, lying on the bed, tossed and turned many times and could not fall asleep.

She stared blankly at the white ceiling, placed her hand lightly on her soft and upright heart, and felt the throbbing coming from deep in her chest.

Uneasy—even without anyone reminding her, Irisviel knew what this inexplicable emotion in her heart was.

But when she thought about it, this wasn't the first time she had felt "uneasy" since she set foot in Fuyuki City.

Especially after the battle in Warehouse Street a few days ago, Irisviel's deep-seated anxiety and restlessness became even stronger.

Although Ellisviel had prepared herself mentally when she was in Winter City, she couldn't help but worry when she truly witnessed the danger and cruelty of the Holy Grail War - can the Einzbern family really achieve the final victory?
The confusion, uneasiness and worry about the future weighed heavily on the android girl like a nightmare, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Irisviel is not afraid of death.

After becoming the Lesser Holy Grail, she decided to sacrifice her life to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family.

However, this sacrifice may not bring rewards. Even with the help of the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel has no confidence that she can obtain the Holy Grail from other masters and save all mankind.

Because the Holy Grail War is not a game between children, if you are not careful, you will be killed by other enemies.

"If I fail this time, then Illya..."

When she thought of her young daughter, Irisviel subconsciously placed her hand on her collar and clenched it tightly, trying to ease the panic in her heart in this way.

As this year's Lesser Holy Grail, she knew full well that the Einzbern androids were burdened with an unfortunate curse. No matter the cost, she had to completely restore the Third Law through the Greater Holy Grail. This had been the Einzbern family's thousand-year-old wish.

Artificial Holy Grails like Irisviel are merely insignificant sacrifices on the path to recreating the Third Law.

Therefore, Irisviel only hopes that this will be the last Holy Grail War, and that she will be the last android to be sacrificed as the vessel of the Holy Grail.

After all, only in this way can her daughter Illya change her sad fate as an Einzbern android and be liberated from the tragic vortex of the Holy Grail War.

As a human being, she lived her entire life, even without me by her side...

With thoughts of Illya in her heart, Irisviel stood up from the soft velvet bed and stepped lightly on the wooden floor with her bare feet.

"Wow—"

Walking to the window, she pushed open the tightly closed window. A cool breeze instantly rushed into the spacious room, and her soft silver hair swayed.

Looking out from the window, the hazy moonlight cast a layer of silver-white gauze over the earth, and the shadows of the trees were mottled and moved by the wind.

Irisviel leaned gently against the window, quietly listening to the rustling sound of the breeze through the leaves. A rare sense of peace enveloped her. Simply gazing at the scenery calmed her previously uneasy heart. If anyone else were present at this moment, they would surely be filled with admiration at the magnificent view before them.

The Winter Saint with her long silver hair was standing in front of the windowsill. She was wearing a thin pure white dress. Her exquisite beauty like a doll, coupled with her shiny crimson eyes, made her look like an independent elf who was isolated from the world.

Under the clear moonlight, Irisviel's slender and plump legs were slightly together, the upper and lower muscles were evenly distributed and firm, the skin was soft and delicate without losing its luster, and the whole thing was as white and flawless as a jade disk.

"If only that silver-haired Master could help me rescue Illya from the Einzbern family..."

Looking at the silver moon in the deep night, this thought suddenly popped up in Ellisviel's heart. The previous battle between Kamiya Yu and the servant left a deep impression on her.

Compared to their powerful force, the Einzbern family's defense was as vulnerable as the Maginot Line.

Unfortunately, this idea is impossible to realize. The other party has no relationship with me and has no obligation to help me.

Besides, she had nothing of her own and had nothing valuable to use as a reward.

Thinking of this, Irisviel shook her head gently, as if trying to forget this almost hopeless idea, but a small seed was quietly planted in her heart.

As for her nominal husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, even without asking, she knew that her request would definitely be ruthlessly rejected by that cold-blooded man.

"Oh..." With a tired sigh, Ellisviel reached out to close the doors and windows, then turned her graceful and plump body around, ready to go back to bed to rest.

However, just as she stretched out her long legs, a strange feeling suddenly rose from her body, and a burning sensation gradually spread from her flat white belly to her whole body.

"Yeah——"

Irisviel's gaze flickered in the air, her face turned pale, and sweat flowed down her smooth forehead like a waterfall. The sudden accident made her unable to bear it and she let out an alluring moan.

If there were other people in the room at this time, they would find that her originally snow-white and delicate skin had become extremely rosy at this moment, her wet silver hair stuck to her cheeks and neck, and her whole body exuded an endearing and attractive charm.

"..."

As if all her strength had been drained away, Irisviel fell backwards weakly, her tender, white, and soft back sliding down against the cold wall.

Finally, she leaned against the wall and curled up helplessly on the floor like a wounded cub.

Fortunately, this abnormality did not last too long. After a while, Irisviel gradually returned to normal. She breathed softly, an expression of disbelief appeared on her beautiful face, and she murmured in a low voice.

"How could it be... a Servant has left..."
