My mother's love song

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced back and forth between Rhode's face and the parchment with a horrified expression as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head.

……impossible.

Why does he even know this!?

Looking at the parchment that he had used to plot against countless lives, he felt his chest dominated by great sorrow and despair.

"Sign this and leave Fuyuki. You don't have a choice."

Patting Kiritsugu Emiya's shoulder gently, Rod leaned close to his ear and whispered like a devil.

"I will take Irisviel and Altria."

Chapter 057 Fast Forward to Sister Shura Field [4K5/Request First Order]

By the time Irisviel and Lancer finally arrived at the scene, everything was over.

The winter frost and moonlight cast a layer of tranquility and mystery over the Einzbern Forest, and the sound of the wind suddenly stopped at a certain moment.

In the devastated battlefield, only the victorious Caster team remained.

Rhodes sat on the broken tree trunk with his legs crossed, one hand around the waist of the witch who was sitting next to him.

This is how they show Irisviel and Altria that Rhodes is the real Master.

Morgan must be in a good mood after defeating Arthur and becoming the winner. The fairy princess in the boy's arms is more beautiful and charming than ever.

The calm blue eyes first gazed at Rhodes' face with love, and then glanced at his sister out of the corner of his eyes as if examining an object.

"Hey, Irisviel, Lancer. Are you finally here?"

When they arrived, Rhodes greeted them frivolously, with a cigarette between his fingers.

This cigarette, called "Yanlong", is the same as the two women who came

These were all spoils of war obtained by Rod after defeating Emiya Kiritsugu.

"……call."

Under the moonlight, Rhodes sat with the beauty, smoking a cigarette, enjoying the afterglow of victory happily.

"I think you should understand that from now on I am the master of this Einzbern city. Thank you for your guidance in the future."

He showed his right hand, on the back of which was clearly engraved the crimson command seal that symbolized ownership of Lancer Altria.

“…Ah…Ahhh.”

Looking at the Command Seal that was taken from her husband, Irisviel's legs went limp and she fell to her knees helplessly.

After a long while, she asked in a hoarse voice.

"Where's Kiritsugu?"

"Because he begged for mercy, I let him go for Ellie's sake."

"...You didn't kill him?"

"Well, I won't do anything to make you sad.

As long as Emiya Kiritsugu behaves himself from now on and doesn't appear in front of you again, I won't harm him."

It would be nice if he could be honest, haha.

"..."

Knowing that her husband was still alive, Irisviel finally regained her breathing and raised her head.

"Can I trust you? Will you let him go as long as I obey you?"

Rhode nodded: "You can trust me on this. I will never lie to you, Ellie."

Blowing out smoke rings, he answered coldly but sincerely.

"..."

The forest returned to silence.

After a few seconds, Irisviel stood up from the ground silently and began to speak calmly.

"Emiya Kiritsugu abandoned his mission as Master tonight and fled from Fuyuki City.

Therefore, Einzbern acknowledges defeat in the Fourth Holy Grail War."

She looked with sorrow in her eyes at the boy who had once been her enemy but now completely controlled her life.

In those deep red eyes, there was only the numbness of accepting reality.

"Caster's Master."

In the dark forest, a pair of noble and bright green eyes stared at Rhodes.

Rhodes shifted his gaze from Ellie to Altria who had been standing silently beside him.

Even with a collar, a lion is still a lion, and a red dragon is still a red dragon.

Altria's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed.

Rhodes asked, “Lancer, what are you dissatisfied with?

If you want to use your chivalry to criticize me, there is no need to do so. I did not use any despicable means in the battle tonight.

Speaking of despicable words, it should be your former Master, right?"

Rhode said sarcastically, "A magician who lets women stand in front and lets his wife take risks to pretend to be the Master while he hides in the jungle and snipes at the enemy.

It’s so high, it’s really high, it’s all surpassed by Emiya Kiritsugu.”

"..."

No one could refute the boy's malicious words.

Irisviel turned away in pain.

Tonight was the first time she saw her husband fight, and it was indeed very different from what she had imagined.

Emiya Kiritsugu's methods were quite despicable, but he still failed miserably.

on the contrary.

Rhodes should have had a better strategy, but he chose the most difficult path

He used himself as bait, at the cost of enduring a sneak attack, to lure out the enemy hiding in the dark.

From the perspective of chivalry, Rhodes's fighting was undoubtedly noble.

Even King Arthur, who was an opponent, couldn't help but admire him secretly.

If it were me, could I do better than him?

"..."

After meeting Rhodes' gaze, Altria's shoulders trembled slightly.

So, that's what happened.

I originally thought that Rhodes was just a frivolous evil boy, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The reason why he chose that chaotic fighting style tonight must be to convince me.

Perhaps, my judgment of this young man's character was a bit too arbitrary.

"I understand."

The graceful face was calm as the Knight King of the Holy Spear made the choice in his heart to become a knight.

For Lancer, she never considered Emiya Kiritsugu as her Master.

Even if I wanted to communicate with him, he never said a word to me.

And the one I decided to protect in this era, Irisviel, has already decided to attach herself to the Caster Group...

Well, there is only one answer!

"Master Caster, I have decided to respond to your Command Spell and acknowledge your status as Master."

Rhodes: “…Huh?”

Morgan: “…………Huh?”

After hearing the knight's oath given by Altria, the two members of Caster's team not only did not feel happy, but instead showed very subtle expressions.

They looked at each other.

"Wait a minute... Master, wait a minute."

Morgan's brows were slightly furrowed and her face was puffed.

"This is different from what you just said."

"Uh... I don't understand! Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?"

Morgan said aggressively: "Master, what did you promise me just now?

You said that Arthur would never accept you as her Master, and would definitely use her high-level magic power to resist the control of the Command Spells.

When that time comes, you will hand her over to me and let me corrupt her with magic."

"Caster, I'll leave Lancer to you.

Just go ahead and do your best to train the noble Knight King into the shape of both of us."

Three minutes ago, Rhodes said this to Morgan with great confidence.

As a result, the enemy not only did not resist to the end, but surrendered directly.

King Arthur's unexpectedly quick shot left Rhodes and Morgan speechless.

Rhode was puzzled. Logically speaking, since he forcefully kissed Irisviel, took away Emiya Kiritsugu's Command Seals, and raped his wife, Lancer should be very hostile to him.

But why

She now gave me a look full of understanding! ?

What Rhodes didn't know was that he might just be following his heart tonight and tormenting Emiya Kiritsugu for fun, but Lancer regarded his behavior as courage and integrity.

It would be great if such a person could protect Irisviel sincerely.

On the other hand, Caster's mood had hit rock bottom.

The [Sister Training Plan] that I had been looking forward to for a long time was ruined, and Arthur was so shameless that he even cast a friendly and passionate look at his master!

All of this made Morgan furious.

The witch's negative emotions quickly turned into actions.

"It hurts...! Tsk! Caster, why are you pinching me?!"

Morgan stared at the Knight King and said with a fake smile, "Master, say something to anger Lancer."

"……ha?"

"Arthur wants to join us, so why don't you humiliate her?

Knights are creatures that can easily get angry out of shame... Master, let me see your manly side and scold her until she cries!"

When it comes to glibness and irritation, Rhodes is the best player Morgan has ever encountered.

Because she herself was one of this guy's biggest victims and was often made to faint by his anger.

Morgan was very sure that Rhodes's mouth could easily turn Altria from a friend into an enemy.

Rhodes was confused: How should I humiliate her?

Altria, we had already obtained the Holy Grail before you joined us... right?

He shook his head and said, "No way. Why should I make her angry? You can do that yourself. Don't you have a bad relationship with her?"

Originally, he was looking forward to letting Morgan stage a big drama of training his sister, but he was unwilling to offend King Arthur.

"Master, you promised me that you would give Lancer to me as a toy. Are you going to break your promise to me?"

"Ugh! This must be force majeure. Who knew she would be so considerate?

...Come to think of it, didn’t I win the battle tonight by myself?

Caster, you didn't help much in this battle."
