In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

Just like he said before -

In exchange for the life of his fiancée, he would do anything!

"Don't worry, I have one more condition."

Kira Yoshikage stared at him quietly, his tone very calm, "Withdraw from this Holy Grail War and get Lancer out."

"it is good!"

Kenneth answered without hesitation.

In this Holy Grail War, he is different from other Masters.

Kayneth's participation in the Holy Grail War was not due to any necessity or urgency, but he wanted to add anecdotes that would be evaluated as "war achievements" to his own experience. He had no wishes that could only be fulfilled by the Holy Grail, nor did he have any urgent reason to win.

Compared to Sora, the Holy Grail is nothing!

"Wait! Master!"

Lancer's face slightly changed, and he immediately spoke out to stop it.

"Are you going to disobey me, Lancer?"

Kenneth gritted his teeth and glared at Lancer, then slowly raised his right hand.

He also has a Command Seal that can order Lancer to commit suicide.

Lnacer knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Master! It is a knight's duty to be loyal to his lord, even with his life! However, before I sacrifice my life, I must ensure that you and your mistress are safe. At least before I die, I must make you sign a self-compulsory document that cannot be violated!"

Lancer scanned the two people opposite him with a sharp gaze, his eyes extremely alert:

"Excuse me, Master! But I cannot trust such a despicable person who has no chivalry at all!"

When the knights were away fighting, they took the opportunity to attack their lord's wife, and used the weak woman to threaten the lord to kill the knight who served him. For Lancer, who was a knight, there was no one more despicable than them in the world!

Once he is really killed, who can guarantee that they will not continue to harm the Master who has lost his protection?

"can."

Kirara Yoshikage smiled and nodded, "I can sign it now."

The so-called Self-Geas Scroll is a spell-bound contract used by magicians to make an agreement that cannot be breached. It is the most absolute guarantee made to prevent breach of contract.

Its essence is to use the function of one's own magic seal to impose the curse of "compulsion (Geas)" on the caster himself, and in principle, its effect cannot be removed by any means.

Once the magician signs the certificate and fulfills the oath conditions to make the certificate effective, even if the oath-taker has died, as long as the magic seal is passed on to the next generation, even the soul after death will be bound.

"Lancer, you..."

Kenneth slowly lowered his raised arm and looked at his servant with some disbelief.

Do you accept your own death so calmly?

Kira Yoshikage grabbed Sora's hair and lifted her up, using the woman's screams to attract the gazes of the master and servant, who were gradually filled with gay affection, and asked calmly:

"Do you have a parchment roll?"

"In the closet in the room."

Kenneth looked at the man who was torturing his fiancée with hatred.

Fortunately, contracts between magicians are usually carried in the form of parchment scrolls, so most magicians carry them with them.

As long as you can really sign the self-compulsory certificate,

"Fujino."

Kira Yoshikage shouted, and the purple-haired girl immediately turned and walked towards the remains of the twisted and damaged wooden cabinet in the room, and dug out a still intact parchment scroll from it.

Under the gazes of Kenneth and Lancer, Kira Yoshikage casually wrote the contents of the oath on the parchment, signed at the bottom with psychic power, and threw the written certificate to Kenneth.

"Binding Ritual Target - Joseph Joestar, I swear by the seal of the Joestar family that upon fulfilling the following conditions, the contract will become the target of the commandment binding ritual, without exception.

Oath: Joseph Joestar and his allies will never intend to kill or harm Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald and Sora Nazaire Sophia.

Condition: Death of his Servant Lancer Diarmuid Odin.

Kenneth caught the parchment scroll that was thrown to him and scanned it carefully from top to bottom, his palms trembling slightly.

Theoretically, as long as he signed this contract, Joseph Joestar would never be able to hurt him!

Even if Joseph Joestar is a fake name, it doesn't matter. The contract will only bind the two parties who sign the contract. No matter whose name he uses, as long as it is his signature, it will definitely bind him accurately.

Therefore, as long as this contract is signed, Sora's safety can be guaranteed.

but.

This meant that he would have to hand over the Holy Grail to someone else, abandon the glory of the Archibald family, and Lancer...

Kayneth looked up at his Servant, who must have seen the contract as well.

"I don't see a flaw in this, Master."

Lancer frowned slightly, and when he noticed Kenneth's gaze, he said, "If you think there's no problem with it, you can sign it directly."

"Lancer."

Kenneth couldn't help but ask, "You really don't have any wishes?"

Holy Grail War.

It is a war between the Master and the Servant. The winner can make a wish, regardless of whether he is a Servant or a Master.

Although the truth is not so, at least it appears to be so.

and so.

When Masters summon Servants, they always ask them what their wishes are.

But the answer Kenneth got from Lancer was:

"I'm not after the Holy Grail."

Lancer repeated the answer he had told Kayneth from the beginning, his expression still calm, "If I must name a wish, my wish is to serve a lord as a knight until the end. Although the time was short, my wish has been fulfilled."

Kenneth signed his name on the contract silently, and Lancer's expression remained calm.

Accept your fate calmly and accept your death calmly.

Although he did not die on the battlefield, as long as he was truly loyal to his lord and died for his lord, that was enough.

Kenneth raised his head and called out the Servant's name with a slightly trembling voice:

"Diarmuid, I'm sorry."

To Kayneth, even the existence of a Servant who commands Heroic Spirits is no different from any other ceremonial attire.

Just a useful tool, that's all.

When he got Lacner's answer for the first time, he would only suspect that Lancer had evil intentions.

Because he absolutely does not believe that there are servants who do not pursue the Holy Grail, because servants who do not pursue the Holy Grail cannot be summoned by the Holy Grail at all!

Even from the beginning, Kayneth knew part of the truth about the Holy Grail War.

He knew that even if Lancer didn't betray him, he would definitely betray Lancer -

All Servants are sacrifices, and from the beginning, only the Master can fulfill wishes.

The Master who knows the truth will definitely leave behind one last Command Spell, and the order of this Command Spell must be for the Servant to commit suicide!

But now.

Kayneth finally seemed to understand the loyalty that Lancer desired, although it was too late.

Lancer's eyes flashed with relief, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Please don't grieve for me, Master. A loyal death is the most glorious destination for a knight!"

Lancer threw away the red rose and slowly raised the yellow rose towards his heart.

"and many more!"

Kira Yoshikage spoke out to stop him.

"What do you mean?"

Kenneth glared at him and asked, "Don't you know how to read the atmosphere?"

Kirara Yoshikage smiled:

"I never said I wanted you to kill yourself, did I?"

Lnacer frowned:

"So, you want me to die in a battle with other Servants?"

Do you want to use him to deplete the strength of other servants?

Indeed, this is the choice that maximizes his value.

This is not a bad thing for Lancer.

Although he was willing to die for his lord, suicide was always very depressing.

It is always honorable to die in battle.

"No, he died in battle with me."

Kira Yoshikage pointed at himself and corrected.

"It seems that you are not that despicable." Lnacer's eyes moved slightly, and he seemed eager to try.

Judging from the strength that the other party has previously demonstrated, he is indeed qualified to fight against the Servants!

"Anyway, let's shake hands first."

Kira Yoshikage took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand to Lancer.

Lancer hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook his hand.

When Servants are born into the world, they will be instilled with modern knowledge and will know that shaking hands is a way of expressing etiquette.

But do the Cavaliers have to shake hands before the matchup?

Shouldn't it be a bow?

Lancer looked at his Master, but Kayneth was also confused.

As for why we should shake hands?

When it was confirmed that Lancer had returned, Assassin had self-destructed, and Irisviel was no longer in danger, Kira Yoshikage had already recovered Killer Queen.

The handshake was, of course, to plant the bomb!

Snapped!

Kira Yoshikage pressed his thumb, and Lancer 'disappeared' along with his questions.

Silently and without warning.

Kenneth's pupils shrank sharply, he didn't even realize how Lancer died!

"what have you done?!"

Kenneth demanded angrily.

Kirara Yoshikage glanced at him:

"He's dead, and the contract has taken effect. You should have felt it, right?"

"Despicable person!"

Kayneth glared at him with gritted teeth, deceiving the knight's trust even when he was about to die.

People like you are a disgrace to magicians!

Kira Yoshikage ignored him, grabbed Sora's collar and threw her back to Kenneth.

As the latter hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch his wife to prevent her from falling through the crack in the corridor, Kira Yoshikage suddenly spoke:

"I forgot to tell you, my name is not Joseph Joestar."

"so what?"

Kenneth sneered, "Even if the name is false, the contract will bind you as it is."
