Macross Empire

"During the previous three Holy Grail Wars, the 'Little Holy Grail' was destroyed for various reasons, so the rulers and magicians in the Einzbern family proposed to turn the 'Little Holy Grail' into a The living thing in my hand, if it comes here, it will be safe!"

"Accompanied by this thought and action, the Einzbern family selected an artificial human embryo that was most suitable to be the host of the 'Little Holy Grail' from among the artificial humans used for consumables in the past, and then spent ten years or so from childhood Come and cultivate this artificial human in a special amniotic fluid cultivation tank to prepare the most suitable host for the 'Little Holy Grail' to descend, and intend to use it as a top-secret killer in the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"Nine years ago, when the Einzbern family made preparations, they accidentally recruited a magician Emiya Kiritsugu with the title of 'Magician Killer'. Then, for the sake of control and win over, Einzbern The Beren family specially married this android to Emiya Kiritsugu as the princess of the Einzbern family and gave birth to a daughter!

As a promise of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family promised that if Emiya Kiritsugu won, they would let Emiya Kiritsugu take away his daughter, and the person who is the 'Little Holy Grail'..."...

Seeing Arturia whose complexion gradually turned livid and full of anger, Medea's words suddenly stopped.

Li Yuan knew that this was a situation where Medea deliberately teased people at a critical moment, and this could be seen from the hint of playful emotion in Medea's eyes!

"What will happen?"

In the eyes of Li Yuan and others, Artoria's inquiry sounded.

Although it is said that Artoria's appearance of being bound by chains is a bit indecent and embarrassing, but her current tone and posture make people who see her not have the slightest thought of laughing—it is like a powerful force that is about to erupt a volcano. , It is estimated that there are not many people who can laugh out loud, and the few people present have no intention of laughing!

"will die!"

Listening to Artoria's answer that suppressed her anger, Medea gave that cruel answer very simply.

As if she felt that her explanation was not detailed enough, Medea patiently said to Altria, who seemed to be trembling, and Irisviel, who was pale, "As the heroic spirits are eliminated one by one, the 'Little Holy Grail' will absorb those who approach." The soul of the heroic spirit, and then the body will gradually be unable to bear the pressure brought by the powerful soul of the heroic spirit and appear abnormal.

In the beginning, the souls of one or two heroic spirits could at most weaken the physical and mental state of the 'Little Holy Grail', which means that it began to appear unsuitable.But I estimate that with the physique and mental state of a human magician, if more than three heroic spirits are absorbed by the 'Little Holy Grail', the 'Little Holy Grail' will gradually become unbearable and lose itself, and then when the six heroic spirits are absorbed , that is, when the 'Little Holy Grail' is destroyed and the 'Grail of Heaven' appears! "

"Bang!!!"

Hearing Medea's detailed explanation, a string in Artoria's mind called "reason" finally collapsed, and she slammed one hand on the table in front of her, making a loud bang.

——What Artoria and Irisviel didn't notice was that under the hammering of Artoria's powerful force, the table seemed to emit a faint light, except that the plate in front of Artoria was affected Apart from the shattering, the entire wooden table and the dishes in front of the others were not damaged at all!

Of course, neither Artoria, who was in a rage, nor Irisviel, who was trying to get up to stop her, didn't care about such small things anymore.

"Damn! Damn!!! Those guys from the Einzbern family..."

Artoria, who suddenly punched the table, stood up and yelled at the Einzbern family members, and looking at Arturia's eyes that were burning with anger, it was certain that if there was Einzbern at this time, With members of the Zbern family in front of her, Arturia would definitely strike without hesitation.

After all, for Artoria who is known as the "Knight King", this kind of magician method of the Einzbern family is completely unacceptable to Artoria!

Not to mention, even with Artoria's IQ, she understood who the artificial human in Medea's words was raised in the container of the "Little Holy Grail" by the Einzbern family—except for her protection. Can this "Little Holy Grail" be someone else other than the "Princess" Irisviel?

"Saber! Don't be angry! Saber..."

Seeing Artoria's angry gesture as if she was about to go berserk, Irisviel hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

Strange to say, after hearing Irisviel's words, Altria, who was extremely angry, took a few deep breaths, controlled her emotions, and turned her head to look at Irisviel who walked to her side.

"Irisviel, why didn't you tell me?"

Artoria looked at Irisviel's weak expression and red pupils with a hint of sadness, and asked Irisviel very seriously.

"I……"

Facing the inquiry from her "Knight", Irisviel seemed to want to say something, but was immediately interrupted.

"Saber! Or, Ms. Artoria, I think you're blaming Ms. Irisviel a little bit!

As the candidate for the 'Little Holy Grail' of the Einzbern family, Ms. Irisviel is very aware of her physical defects.And for her daughter Illya, she would rather sacrifice her own life to ensure Illya's future situation and not become the next 'Little Holy Grail' of the Einzbern family to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War ! "

Before Irisviel could answer this question, Li Yuan took the initiative to reveal the cruel and dark side of the Holy Grail War.

Behind the Holy Grail War is the cruel and dark side of the magician and the forces behind it!

The artificial man and the "Little Holy Grail" of the Einzbern family are one of the representatives. Irisviel and her daughter Ilya are respectively the containers prepared by the Einzbern family as the "Little Holy Grail". The four Holy Grail Wars and the fifth Holy Grail War in the original plot all ended in tragedy and desolation.

Similarly, except that Rin Tohsaka of the Tohsaka family did not cheat in the Fifth Holy Grail War, the alliance between the Holy Church Church and Tohsaka Tokiomi in the Fourth Holy Grail War was tortured by the old bug that Li Yuan had crushed Matou Sakura, Kotomine Kirei, who is still in a nominal master-student relationship with Tohsaka Tokiomi, uses human souls to maintain Jin Shining... Anyway, behind the Holy Grail War, there are all kinds of cruelty that refresh ordinary human perceptions and morals , can be called outrageous and unlimited!

"How, how do you know?"

"What? Irisviel, even Illya..."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Arturia and Irisviel were both taken aback.

Needless to say, Irisviel looked at Li Yuan with surprise and amazement, but also full of puzzlement.Arturia, on the other hand, did not expect that the Einzbern family would treat her cruelly when she saw the lovely little girl Illya in Einzbern Castle—plan Make it a "Little Holy Grail"? ? ?

But regarding the "Little Holy Grail", Arturia's [intuition] and Irisviel's panicked expression told her that this was not a lie, but the real truth!

"Saber! I have no choice but to participate in the Holy Grail War, whether it's for Kiritsugu or for Illya!

The Einzbern family promised me and Kiritsugu that if we win this Holy Grail War, Illya will not have to suffer the fate of being concocted into a 'Little Holy Grail', and my death will be worth it! ! ! "

Hearing Artoria's question and the doubts in her eyes, Irisviel's hesitant posture disappeared and became firm.

For Irisviel, when she was born, she was instilled in her mind to be loyal to the Einzbern family.

However, after Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu met, Irisviel walked out of the amniotic fluid tank and felt the love in memory for the first time, and then her daughter Illya was born.

Therefore, for Irisviel, an artificial human who shouldn't have feelings, but was created by the Einzbern family for the purpose of "Little Holy Grail" and tried to obtain the "Grail of Heaven" in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, and daughter, Illya, are the only two most important existences in this world to Alice Faier!

When she realized that she had become the "Little Holy Grail", and understood the situation of the Holy Grail War and the coming of the Fourth Holy Grail War, she sincerely hoped that her husband Emiya Kiritsugu could win the Holy Grail War—— Besides, in Irisviel's heart, who has no contact with the outside world, there is a slight longing for the huge ambitions embraced by her husband Emiya Kiritsugu, but more importantly, she hopes that her daughter Illya will not have to repeat her tragedy again!

Because, Irisviel knew that if there is still no result in this Holy Grail War, then before the next Holy Grail War, her daughter Illya will definitely be prepared by the Einzbern family as a container for the "Little Holy Grail" , into the brutal Holy Grail War, trying to use his life to seize the so-called "Grail of Heaven".

Under such circumstances, as soon as Emiya Kiritsugu spoke, Irisviel took the initiative to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War!

It was not simply because of Emiya Kiritsugu's order, but Irisviel herself understood that as the "Little Holy Grail" of the Einzbern family, the Holy Grail War was inevitable for her, and it was also for her daughter Illya will not encounter the same fate as herself, and Irisviel resolutely participated in this Holy Grail War.

However, facing her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, and the "knight" Artoria who protects her, Aliceviel has never chosen to speak out about the "Little Holy Grail" and herself, for fear that they will worry about it ...
