Chapter 305

【Grand Duke: "Did that hero sacrifice himself just to let this homunculus live?"】

【"This is my promise, and also his dying wish."】

【Jeanne raised the long spear in her hand and said: "I swear upon this banner, staking my true name, that I will surely protect him well."】

【The atmosphere between the two sides turned tense once again.】

【Caules asked in a low voice: "Archer, if we mobilize everyone, do we have a chance of winning?"】

【Chiron: "I'm afraid not. Not only is the opponent's Noble Phantasm unknown, but Ruler also possesses decisive abilities against us Servants."】

【After a long silence, the Grand Duke looked at Astolfo and said: "Rider, do you think your actions are a shameful betrayal?"】

【Astolfo: "I don't think so at all, because everything I did was correct."】

【"Is that so..."】

【The Grand Duke immediately made a decision in his heart.】

【"That said, it is impossible not to punish your actions, Caster."】

【Avicebron immediately used magic to control earth and stone to wrap Astolfo into a ball.】

【"There's really no helping it."】

【Astolfo said with a helpless look: "Alright, let's go, let's go."】

【Darnic: "Wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking..."】

【"No matter."】

【The Grand Duke looked at Jeanne again and said: "Ruler, as someone who also believes in God, have you considered joining forces with me?"】

【Jeanne: "No, this is my rule."】

【"Let's go."】

【The Black Faction immediately retreated under the Grand Duke's order.】

Rin Tohsaka: "I didn't expect Vlad III to look so cold, but he's actually quite reasonable."

Waver: "Yeah, it's very different from the legends."

Grand Duke: "Hmph, the world's reputation is nothing but slander against me, truly detestable."

Extra Feng Xi: "You really do care about how the world sees you."

【"This is as far as I can go. Goodbye."】

【Astolfo smiled and said goodbye to the homunculus: "It's okay, you can do anything now. Go live your own life. Only then will his and my efforts have meaning."】

【Homunculus: "I..."】

【"Live on. You have the qualifications now."】

【After the final farewell, Astolfo left with the Black Faction.】

【Celenike gritted her teeth at this scene.】

Watching Astolfo being so kind to the homunculus in the video, Celenike's face began to twist.

"This isn't good..."

Astolfo understood his Master's perverted possessiveness toward him and began to worry about the homunculus he had yet to meet.

The others in the Black Faction also knew about Celenike's situation, but they couldn't say much.

【"Come on, let's go too."】

【After the Black Faction left, Jeanne also pulled the homunculus up and said.】

【Homunculus: "Where to?"】

【Jeanne: "To a place where you can gain freedom. Come with me."】

【Jeanne decided to take the homunculus to Trifas to settle down, and the homunculus did not forget to take the sword Astolfo gave him when he left.】

Gilles de Rais: "Ahhh! Burn! Must burn this guy to death!"

Jeanne: "Gilles, calm down."

Extra Feng Xi: "Congratulations to Bluebeard for joining the FFF Inquisition."

Rin Tohsaka: "What is the FFF Inquisition?"

Extra Feng Xi: "It's a cult of single people, dedicated to burning couples who show off their love."

Rin Tohsaka: "Got it, got it."

Jeanne: "Please don't talk nonsense, we weren't showing off our love in the video."

Gilles de Rais: "Ahhh..."

【"Oh my, it hurts, it hurts..."】

【After returning, Astolfo was directly locked in the dungeon and tortured by Celenike.】

【However, one could tell from his exaggerated screams that Celenike couldn't hurt him at all.】

【Celenike was so angry at Astolfo that she slammed the door and left.】

【Just after she left, Chiron dispelled his spirit form and appeared.】

【"Although I heard your rationality evaporated, you are still very smart."】

【Chiron said helplessly: "Sorry, if I had pleaded for you just now..."】

【Astolfo: "It's okay, this is the punishment I deserve."】

【Chiron: "Grand Duke Vlad is a wise monarch; you should be released soon."】

【And just as he thought, the Grand Duke was discussing releasing Astolfo the next day with Darnic.】

【Darnic praised the Grand Duke's tolerance, while the Grand Duke helplessly indicated that Astolfo was not someone who would reflect.】

Astolfo: "Ah, thank you for your tolerance, Your Majesty."

"Hmph, don't overthink it. I just simply feel that keeping you locked up has no meaning."

The Grand Duke said lightly: "As long as you don't act as foolishly as you did in the video, that is fine."

【On the other side, Jeanne took the homunculus across a meadow.】

【Jeanne: "Speaking of which, you haven't introduced yourself yet."】

【Homunculus: "I have nothing to introduce. I don't even have a name."】

【"Then let's start with a name."】

【Jeanne smiled: "A name is the most important thing a person has; it is proof of existence in this world."】

【"... Sieg."】

【The homunculus was silent for a moment, then said slowly.】

【Jeanne: "Sieg?"】
