Saber nodded in deep agreement.

He is a reliable person most of the time, and can be terribly cruel in some ways, but he also retains a relatively naive side.

So~

Irisviel blinked, quietly moved closer to Saber, took her hand, and asked sincerely:

"Can you tell me your story with Kira-kun?"

"W-What story?" Saber's eyes darted around.

"You and Kira-kun have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"

"Irisviel, did you figure it out?"

Saber asked hesitantly.

"Saber, you're not good at lying."

Irisviel gently stroked the girl's cheek. "No matter what's on your mind, it's written all over your face. It's hard not to notice, isn't it?"

"It hasn't gotten to that point, has it?"

Saber offered a small rebuttal, saying that she could hide her thoughts, but she wasn't quite skilled at it yet.

"Then, can you tell me?"

Irisviel asked with a smile.

Saber remained silent for a long time without answering.

"Feel sorry."

Irisviel looked a little apologetic. "If you really don't want to say, that's okay. I won't ask again."

After a pause, the girl earnestly instructed:

"Saber can tell me anything that's on her mind, but please don't run away from home because of this!"

"Am I not a child?"

Saber was speechless. How could someone run away from home over such a small matter?

and……

Saber hesitated for a moment, then explained softly:

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that I can't talk about it for the time being."

Irisviel's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked curiously:

Are there any restrictions?

"Yes, this is part of the contract."

Saber nodded slightly, hesitated for a long time, and then the girl asked softly:

"Alice, tomorrow, no, anytime is fine, can you come to London with me?"

Irisviel smiled and said:

"Sure, let's go tomorrow! I've been wanting to travel to London too!"

-----------------

"Is this the city of Einzbern?"

Sitting in the driverless magic car prepared by the Einzbern family at the entrance of the barrier, Aska Archizorti gazed at the distant castle through the car window, her eyes filled with some fear.

Lord Euryphus had left before entering the barrier, seemingly worried about being 'left' inside, so only he and his daughter entered the barrier.

Not long ago, the Einzbern family was virtually unknown in the magic world. While their artificial human technology was unmatched, in other areas of magic, the Einzbern family could be described as mediocre, but rather as having accomplished nothing.

Yet, this very family suddenly came into the sights of the major families in the magic world—at the cost of the destruction of the El-Melloi school.

The car stopped at the castle gate. Yaska touched the documents in his arms, took a deep breath, opened the car door, and got out with his daughter.

“Mr. Archizolti, please come with me.”

The silver-haired maid gave a slight bow and led the father and daughter into the castle.

In the reception room, they met the owner of the castle.

A silver-haired girl in a red, high-class Western-style dress, with a blonde girl in black men's clothing beside her as a bodyguard.

The silver-haired girl had a beautiful, perfectly sculpted face, like a doll, ruby-red pupils, and snow-white, shimmering silver hair—all of which indicated her identity as an artificial human from the Einzbern family.

The silver-haired girl gave a polite smile:

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Jaska Archizolti. My name is Irisviel von Einzbern, the ninth head of the Einzbern family.”

"Miss Eindzbern,"

Yaska's mind went blank, and not knowing what to do, he simply handed over the documents he was carrying.

Irisviel took the document and asked, puzzled:

"what is this?"

Aska lowered his head in fear and trepidation, his tone incredibly humble:

"This is the entirety of the El-Melloi school's assets, as the price for their foolish actions."

Although he personally handed over all the assets of the El-Melloi school, Asca did not feel any remorse.

Firstly, these things didn't belong to him in the first place; in fact, only a small portion belonged to the Archizorti family. After all, they were a lower-ranking family, so their assets were never much.

Secondly, even if these things are not given to the Einzbern family, the El-Melloi school will not be able to protect them.

With Kenneth dead and all the mid-to-high-level magicians of the El-Melloi School wiped out, the El-Melloi School is now like fish on a chopping block, with no choice but to be slaughtered.

Countless eyes within the Clock Tower are constantly watching the El-Melloi school, eager to seize their vast fortune. The only reason they haven't acted yet is because they fear the Einzbern family's potential annihilation of the El-Melloi school.

Therefore, for Asca, rather than watching his assets be plundered by other families in the Clock Tower, it was better to proactively offer them to the Einzbern family as an apology.

Einzbern glanced at the list of assets. Although he felt some pity for the father and daughter before him, he had no intention of stopping there.

"If this is meant as an apology, Einzbern can let bygones be bygones. But if you want to get back the Magic Crest, this alone won't be enough."

"Of course, of course!"

Yaska, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

He just wanted to move on from the past; he didn't have any expectations for magic crests or anything like that.

What's this child's name?

Irisviel looked at the little girl that Aska had brought and asked curiously.

“This is my daughter, Reines, Reines Archizorti.”

Yaska's heart tightened, and he quickly explained.

He tugged at his daughter, urging her to step forward, and at the same time, he grabbed the girl's hair to make her lift her head so that Irisviel could see more clearly.

Despite being his biological daughter, he treated her as if she were a product being sold to a customer.

She had beautiful short blonde hair and skin as white as a porcelain doll. Her pupils had a strange crimson hue, looking like blazing flames.

Irisviel's eyes lit up when she saw the girl's face, and she immediately declared:

"Then let's keep her here, and let her inherit Kenneth's magic mark!"

"what?"

Aska was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed, her voice trembling, "You...you mean, let her come..."

That's Kenneth's magic mark!

It is a magical crest that has been passed down for thousands of years in the El-Melloi family!

Thousands of years of history have added a rich foundation to this magical imprint.

Anyone, even the least talented magician, who inherits this magic crest will at least reach the rank of Grand Master. His daughter already possesses considerable talent; if she inherits this magic crest, she will definitely have the potential to become a Rank 5 or even a Grand Master in the future!

Although Asuka was the eldest son, that did not mean he did not aspire to a higher level of magic.

If his daughter could become a powerful magician, it would be a great honor for him and for the entire Archizorti family!

"There's a price to pay. The surplus value of the El-Melloi school isn't enough to cover it, so let's assume it as a liability for now. What do you think?"

"Of course, of course!"

Aska nodded hastily; selling one's daughter for personal gain was something magicians were all too familiar with.

Didn't Lord Euryphus also turn a blind eye to his daughter's death?

He can sell his daughter, but I can't?

At worst, we can just pretend we never had this daughter!

"Lenes, what do you think?"

Irisviel ignored Asca and asked the little girl in front of her in a gentle voice.

Reines, with a perfectly timed timid expression, obediently replied:

"I'll listen to my sister."

"So nice."

Irisviel smiled and held the little girl in her arms, while coldly giving the order:

"you can go now."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Aska nodded hastily, but then, remembering something, asked cautiously:

"Does the Einzbern family have any suggestions regarding the selection of the Lord of El-Melloi?"

The clock tower has twelve monarchs, but their positions are not fixed.

The El-Melloi family is no longer qualified to hold the monarchy, and theoretically, the Einzbern family, which destroyed them, should inherit it.

Irisviel thought about it seriously for a moment, then said nonchalantly:

"I haven't decided yet, I'll leave it blank for now."
