The pure love of Cao Zei starts from Fate!

"This is a substitute for the city of Tiforge, do you understand?" Shakespeare explained with a smile on his face.

Joan of Arc suddenly realized and immediately responded: "So this is Gilderley's castle."

She was well aware of Gildred's notoriety - the cruel demon nicknamed Bluebeard, notorious for killing innocent children.

However, what is unexpected is that Gilderley was actually Joan of Arc's former general.

"Are you going to harm these poor children again in front of me?" Joan of Arc's eyes flashed with anger and determination. She could not tolerate such atrocities, and she was also very disdainful of Shakespeare's inferior plan.

After hearing this, Shakespeare was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Joan of Arc to think this way.

This made him laugh, and he said, "No, no, no, there is an actor who is more suitable than me!"

At this time, a third person came in the direction Shakespeare pointed.

When Joan of Arc saw the person coming, her face was filled with shock.

Because the person who came was Gilderley, and his appearance was the same as the one Joan of Arc saw when she was alive, but not the Bluebeard who appeared in the dark fairy tale and the Fourth War.

The general in white armor walked out of the shadows with a smile on his face, like a devil.

He held a mysterious sphere tightly in his hands, and there was a chilling light in his eyes.

"Oh, look who this is? Isn't this Joan of Arc?" Gildre's voice was filled with sarcasm and mockery.

"Enough! What's the point of creating these fake characters and scenes?" Joan of Arc was furious and shouted at Shakespeare.

She was extremely disgusted by this pointless simulation and thought it was just a ridiculous farce.

"You wanted to trap me with your Noble Phantasm, but it seems you have reached your limit, right?"

Jeanne chuckled and began to try to conjure up her own treasure.

The flag was seen looming in the air, as if it would break out of the ground at any time, but it was always suppressed by Shakespeare's treasure.

However, all this is just a matter of time.

"Haha, maybe. But let me correct one of your mistakes!" Shakespeare pointed at Gildred triumphantly, with a playful smile on his face.

"He's not a puppet I created, he's a real Heroic Spirit!"

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc was stunned on the spot, her face full of disbelief.

"What? This is impossible!" She opened her eyes wide and stared at Gildred.

"Yes, I am a Servant, and I came here in response to Caster's call!" Gildre said with a smile, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"Are you really...Jill?" Joan of Arc's voice was full of shock and confusion.

"It's true! The real Marshal Gill is here! Although he is just a servant in name only!" Shakespeare joked.

Gilderoy smiled slightly, not caring about Shakespeare's ridicule, and then said: "Compared to these, Joan of Arc, since I am also a servant, when I came to see you, I brought you a gift."

Then, Gildre uncovered the cloth wrapped around the sphere in his hand, revealing Zhong Xuan's head.

"This is the best material I never got in my lifetime~!" Gildre said expressionlessly.

“.......That won’t work...!” Joan of Arc covered her eyes and squatted down.

That was something that I absolutely couldn't look at. It was something that I couldn't even imagine.

That was the face of the android who had fought alongside him and with whom he had reached a certain level of mutual understanding.

"Please. Don't...see anything like that..."

Facing her shouting, Jill continued: "That's weird. Don't you have to abandon everyone?"

Those were words that were extremely cold and lonely.

Jeanne looked up blankly, and was struck by further shock.

"lucky......"

In front of him was Gildred, still looking majestic, wearing a strange long coat and double armor, exactly the same as before.

But his cold eyes now made Joan of Arc very uneasy.

Gildre said slowly, "You are a saint. No matter what you think, this is an unchanging fact. Therefore, no matter who you face, you will punish them fairly and treat them equally. It is the same whether it is me who is close to you or Shakespeare who is hateful. As a person, you are sincere to me and him."

"What... is going on here?" Joan of Arc retorted.

Jill silently refuted the girl's weak words.

"But there is only one exception, and that is him. You did not treat him normally, but were almost crazy about him...that android——"

No, that's not the case, because this feeling does not belong to me.

"…That's not the case. Zhong Xuan participated in the Holy Grail War out of his own will. He possesses the Command Seals. More importantly, he is both a Master and a Servant. Moreover, in this extremely chaotic Holy Grail War, he is someone I trust from the bottom of my heart."

That's all, that's all.

He is a partner who fights side by side with me, and can even be said to be a junior. It is natural to worry about his future.

"Stop lying~!" Gildre laughed.

"Because he is too pitiful? However, if we are talking about pitiful, Black Assassin is also pitiful, whether in his lifetime or now. Aren't there countless pitiful people around you?"

"Why him--" There was no blame or malice in Jill's voice. He just questioned Joan of Arc with his past enthusiasm and majesty.

"I just believe he's a partner!" Joan of Arc argued.

"No, that's not right! You—"

Don't say any more...

It is a forbidden emotion, an undoubted sin, and also the key to open the door to deeper despair.

"You are in love with this young man. You have feelings for him that a saint should not have. This is not the feeling that a parent has for their children, nor is it the feeling that a friend has for them. Your feelings should undoubtedly be called love."

Love?

I love Jong Hyun...

I……

Joan of Arc couldn't refute it.

She thought back on her life.

She hesitated.

Hesitation means defeat...

Shakespeare and Gilderley saw this and smiled triumphantly.

Chapter 180 Joan of Arc collapsed, and Zhong Xuan started to take advantage of her~!

Joan of Arc was stunned.

But she quickly shook her head vigorously.

No, it is not, that is wrong.

Because the one who harbors these feelings is not me, not Jeanne d’Arc, but Leticia!

——Just because it’s supposed to be that way.

"No! Neither romance nor love has anything to do with me...it has to be like this!" Joan of Arc cried weakly.

...Shakespeare's treasure [The show is about to begin, give this place a thunderous applause] will reveal the life and spirit of the target, whether enemy or friend, and display it for entertainment.

There is no love in Joan of Arc's life, only universal care for all human beings.

Everyone thought this, including herself, but Shakespeare's treasure exposed her subconsciously blocked emotions and analyzed them mercilessly.

Even the emotions of the so-called saint are no exception.

"You don't admit it, then?" Jill asked in a soft voice.

Just when Joan of Arc wanted to confirm, her throat choked.

"...I don't agree, I don't agree with this feeling, this must be Leticia..." Joan of Arc said painfully, covering her chest.

The joy that penetrates the heart, the heart-wrenching love, all of these are what human beings living in this world should enjoy.

——I don’t have that right.

"No, no..." Leticia kept calling out in the sea of ​​​​heart.

But facing Jeanne who blocked her heart in order to hide her emotions, Leticia's cries were so powerless.

Gildred was stunned. It seemed that his attempt to get the truth from the victim had failed. However...

"Oh! You are worthy of being Joan of Arc of Orleans! How could you have such feelings? You shouldn't have such feelings!"

"...Huh?" Joan of Arc was stunned by Gilderley's frank acceptance.

She originally thought that she would be denied, that she would be told that she actually had feelings for Zhong Xuan that she shouldn’t have…

She had gathered all her strength to deny it.

However, this was a trap set by Shakespeare. After arranging two or three layers of foreshadowing, there was a big reversal. For this world-recognized number one writer, this was just a trick.

"Because you - know his fate. No matter how hard he struggles, he will use up all of his Command Seals in this Holy Grail War and die."

"And you have to use him. Because his power as a Servant is necessary to fight against us! That's right, the android came here not based on his own choice, but you made the choice, [you killed him]!" Gildre laughed wildly.

"Because you wanted him to leave this Holy Grail War, you would have cut off his legs, but you didn't!"

This……

Yes...

Why didn't I stop him altogether?

I even miss him...

“Ah————————” Joan of Arc screamed.

She couldn't think of any rebuttal.

No matter how you deny or defend it, Gildre's words are correct.

She used the method of fighting side by side to bring the pure him to the battlefield. Although she denied him from going to the battlefield several times, she did not refuse to fight side by side with him.

If you really want to do it for his own good, even if it will hurt him, you shouldn't be with him -

Gilderley roared in a calm tone: "Joan of Arc, you are indeed a true saint. You are willing to do anything to win, deceiving a poor android and bringing him to this terrible battlefield! You are truly a role model for our generation!"

"You're talking nonsense..."

Jeanne used her authority as Ruler to scan the battlefield again.

Before, because of Siegfried's heart, she could roughly scan the existence of the heart, but now... she couldn't scan it at all.

"he died……"

In fact, this was Zhong Xuan using [Breath Concealment] to hide his own breath.

Joan of Arc's psychological defenses collapsed in an instant.

"I killed him!"

"I chose him with my own hands, and instigated him with these words, which led to his death!"

"I am a murderer. Why didn't I stop him firmly? Even if he hated me and would make me sad, I would stop him, but I didn't... I -"

"Liar, liar, liar! I knew he would die! I knew things would turn out like this, with such an outcome...!"

"I am not worthy of being a saint..."

Joan of Arc collapsed.

Because she felt she was caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, she denied her love for Zhong Xuan, and on the other hand, she brought him into this hell.

In just ten minutes, the invincible her was defeated by Shakespeare.

At this moment in the Sea of ​​Heart, Leticia muttered: "It's not like that..."

"I'm sorry... I should have made it clear to you... what you really feel in your heart..."

But it was too late now, Joan had collapsed.

Shakespeare spread his hands and shouted excitedly: "Perfect, this is such a beautiful stage~!"
