Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

Roland didn't care about the little girl's silence and continued.

"First of all, you need to understand that your grandfather has already given you to me. You need to know your position. I will need your presence for a period of time. I will not ask you to do anything beyond my ability, but you must not cause trouble for me either."

"Finally," Roland turned his head and looked at Matou Sakura, "Although I don't think you would have such delusions, it's better to make it clear in advance. I will not let you leave, whether you return to the Matou family or the Tohsaka family."

Logically speaking, Roland should have said something magnanimous to give Sakura Matou psychological comfort, but he was unwilling to do so.

He risked his life to trade for this channel of magic power in the Holy Grail War.

This is Roland's real contribution. He is not the initiator of Sakura Matou's tragic experience. Why should he feel guilty towards Sakura Matou?

"Well, I kind of understand your situation, and sometimes I do have some sympathy. As an adult, maybe I should say something right, like promise you freedom after the Holy Grail War is over."

"But I don't want it."

Roland stared at Matou Sakura calmly, "I will never give something that belongs to me to anyone else unless I am willing."

Since childhood, perhaps because of his family experience, Roland has always attached great importance to his own things. The same is true when playing games. He hoards a lot of meaningless things that he can't use at all, and is unwilling to throw them away.

"——Perhaps, I still haven't become a proper adult."

Roland laughed at himself and looked at Matou Sakura, "You must be prepared for this, Miss Matou Sakura."

Maybe it was because Roland's words were too off-topic, but Matou Sakura was stunned for a moment. Then, she gave Roland a pleasing smile.

"Yes, Lord Roland, as long as you need me, I will never leave your side."

"Ah..." Perhaps because the answer was too mature, Roland tilted his head helplessly and looked at the little girl.

Compared to the distance of several meters before, Sakura Matou is now following him like a little tail. Does this mean their relationship is closer?

What's going on? Both Kirei and Uryu Ryunosuke are like this. They have suddenly become much closer. I didn't say any profound truths. I just expressed my true feelings.

Roland turned his head in confusion, stopped thinking about this question, and continued walking forward.

After a while, he finally returned to his residence and waited for a while, then sat obediently on the sofa with Sakura Matou.

"After that, we will start summoning heroic spirits. Your grandfather has told you what to do, right?"

After receiving a positive response, Roland nodded and said, "Before that, please wait for me for a while."

After getting the answer, he no longer planned to wait. Today, he would hold the shortcut to eternal peace of mind in his hands!

——The Key of All Souls, give me the Soul of the Contracted Saint.

After giving the order in his mind, Roland's face suddenly turned sickly pale, and the Key of All Spirits in his hand once again emitted silver light, slowly flowing into his body.

Suddenly, his senses were infinitely magnified, as if his soul was entering deep space, his vision began to become blurred, his mind was in a trance, and every blink of an eye was accompanied by a feeling of fatigue and sleepiness.

"It was a mistake. It's different from the time with Kira Yoshikage. He is indeed a red spirit contract..."

Eventually, Roland lost consciousness, his body swayed twice, and he fell on top of Sakura Matou.

"Lord Roland?"

Sakura Matou let out a small cry of surprise and was about to reach out to help Roland, but then stopped.

Because, even though he hadn't woken up yet, Roland's eyelids were still slightly open. At this close distance, Matou Sakura could clearly see that his eyes were different from the dark and deep ones before.

——Now Roland’s entire eye sockets were replaced by scarlet light.

There was no visible dividing line between the white of the eye and the pupil. Instead, there was a flashing red, dark, chaotic light that flickered like breathing, and looked like a flickering flame.

Chapter 35 The Dragon Head in the Mirror

Matou Sakura stared at Roland blankly, and carefully moved his head so that he could lie on her in a more comfortable position.

She didn't understand what was happening to Roland, but since the other party had given her an order to wait, Matou Sakura would obey it.

Thinking about things, doubting, and making your own decisions, this logic has gradually been abandoned in Matou Zouken's education.

However, this cannot be attributed entirely to grandfather, after all, Sakura is an abandoned child.

——No one needs me.

This was the biggest feeling Sakura Matou had in the past year. Before being sent to the Matou family, her father sternly told her not to call herself Toosaka. In order to avoid suspicion, she was not allowed to get close to her sister or mother even if she met them.

Because she is a member of the Matou family.

After arriving at the Matou family, the cruel reality quickly lay before her. Although Matou Zouken promised not to torture her physically, he did everything he could to torture her mentally.

He didn't even need to invent any monsters, he just had to present the reality.

Zouken Matou explained clearly why the Tohsaka family wanted to adopt her, and showed her her future in the Matou family.

And what would happen if she resisted.

No one would come to help her, neither her parents, sister, or anyone else. At that time, Sakura Matou felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff and would completely collapse if she was pushed again.

The person who gave her the final push was actually Matou Kariya, the person she had placed her hopes on before.

That man said he wanted to return her to Toosaka?

Does he really know what he is saying? The existence named Matou Sakura has already come into contact with the secrets of the Matou family's magic. For a family of magicians, exploring the magic that they have inherited is equivalent to a fight to the death.

This is something that even a young child like her understands. The Tohsaka family will never accept it and will send her back immediately. Even if they don't do that, she will not be able to live outside this city in the future and will be closely monitored by the Matou family to prevent leaks.

Become a wandering soul with no future and no place to stay.

But she couldn't even say the words of refusal. This innocent kindness pushed Sakura Matou completely into the abyss.

That day, Grandpa announced a fact to her.

The magical education of the Matou family will stop for her, and if Uncle Kariya wins, she will be free.

Finally, she lost her last shelter.

In the Matou family, Matou Sakura is a transparent person. No one dares to talk to her, no one will get close to her, and no one needs her.

Sakura, she has nothing except this name.

In the first nights, she would feel resentful, resentful of why her father gave her away. Later, she began to resent why her sister was not chosen.

In the end, Sakura Matou began to numb herself.

She is not as strong as her sister, not as kind, and not as frank in character. In fact, she is a bit of a bad kid by nature, but in order to get praise from her parents, she will act well-behaved.

In recent times, Sakura Matou even began to resent herself for not jumping into the wormhole. At least she could have an identity that she could recognize herself, instead of being needed by anyone like she is now.

Suddenly, grandpa said he wanted to send her away.

After being abandoned for the second time, finally, the last trace of her in the Matou family disappeared. However, thinking on the bright side, at least the other party gave her a surname that could be called.

It doesn't matter anymore. No one will need Sakura Matou. It's just that she will live the same life as usual in the new environment, and then be abandoned again.

Until the dawn of light.

The strange young man said: "I need you."

Matou Sakura belongs to him and he will not give it to anyone else.

Such a vile declaration made Sakura Matou tremble. She was finally needed and she finally saw the hope of redemption.

Even if she faced danger or death, it was nothing compared to entering the worm cave. Even if she was simply used, being able to die as Sakura Matou, who belonged to Roland, would be enough to satisfy her.

Sakura Matou leaned against Roland's body, and what she felt and smelled was an extremely unfamiliar masculine scent.

When Roland first approached her, her body reflexively wanted to push him away. This was a child's instinct to be wary in an unfamiliar environment, but soon, her desire overwhelmed it.

Since leaving the Toosaka family, she hasn't had such close contact with other people.

"Lord Roland... is shaking?"

Because their bodies were pressed so closely together, Sakura Matou noticed something wrong with Roland's body.

Even though he had lost consciousness, his body still honestly reflected the drastic changes Roland was experiencing.

This is a miracle that is better than magic, a sublimation of the soul.

Although she knew nothing about this, Matou Sakura understood that Roland was in a weak state.

Clearly, she had been talking to that scary grandfather in a friendly manner before, but until now, when she saw a hint of childishness and helplessness on Roland's face, Matou Sakura realized that the other party was not a mature adult as he claimed.

But he was a person in a weak state who needed her care.

The huge contrast in impressions and the recognition of value, such a shocking impact, completely stimulated Sakura Matou's nature and overturned all her past emotions.

Roland's waiting and approaching were both silent invitations to Matou Sakura.

Looking at Roland's current appearance, Matou Sakura's gratitude, awe, and slight fear all turned into a wonderful emotion.

——Want to take care of him.

"So Lord Roland needs me, too."

Matou Sakura's face was red. Even if it was only a part of Roland's weight, her body still felt sore and numb with her body size, but she remained motionless.

She looked at Roland's face so close to her, stretched out her fingers, and gently played with Roland's hair. Looking at her own strange behavior, for some reason, Matou Sakura laughed softly.

"Lord Roland needs me."

This thought took root in Sakura Matou's mind. Her face was filled with a maternal glow and a gentle desire to protect.

"Sakura?"

Roland slowly opened his eyes and woke up. He looked at the beautiful face of the girl in front of him, which was full of tenderness, and the comfortable feeling from her hair. The back of his head was lying in Matou Sakura's arms.

"I'm sorry, Master Roland, did I wake you up?"

"It doesn't matter. How long have I been unconscious?"

Roland's words interrupted Sakura Matou's apology. He realized what had happened before, so there was some sincerity in his eyes when he looked at Sakura Matou. Although he didn't know what had happened, Roland still realized that the last bit of estrangement between him and Sakura Matou had disappeared.

Although he was confused about how this strange improvement in favorability was achieved, he now had more important things to do.

"cherry?"

Roland propped himself up, but Sakura, who behaved very well, did not answer him immediately. Instead, she looked at his face in a daze.

"Ah," Sakura Matou came back to her senses after Roland's call. As if to confirm, she looked at Roland's face again before answering.

"Probably less than two minutes."

"is it?"

Roland showed a thoughtful expression, stood up from the sofa, and walked to the mirror on the side of the living room. It was a half-height peep show left by the previous owner.

Then, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked inside.

Proper and unobtrusive clothing, pale and beautiful hands. As his eyes gradually moved upwards, Roland saw his own face clearly.

That was no longer his face, and it didn't even belong to a human. Instead, it was a dragon head that stood out, carrying an aura of mystery and simplicity, noble and majestic.

In those slightly darkened eye sockets there was still a burning blood-light like a flame, indifferent yet enchanting.

He was very familiar with this appearance, because the spirit hovering on the scabbard before was exactly the same as it.

Roland turned his head slightly, and the demon with a dragon head and a human body in the mirror was perfectly reproduced. He touched his face, and the touch was the same as before, without any change, but the image in the mirror was completely different.

This obvious fact made Roland realize that the power of the Holy Lord's Soul already belonged to him.

Chapter 36 The Power of the Holy Lord's Soul

Looking at himself in this state, Roland gently reached out his hand and touched the illusory yet real dragon shadow in the mirror.

After being blocked by the cold mirror, he put down his hand with some regret.

The longer Roland looked into the mirror's eyes that were burning like flames, the clearer his face became.

Even though the criteria for judging were broad, he knew that he was no longer human.

Before making the decision, he hesitated, but when it really came to this, those unnecessary emotions disappeared.

No matter what, I am myself and Roland is Roland.
