~6 min read 1,088 words

【The screen turns; a blonde little girl is sitting on a high chair, and opposite her is Waver with a weathered expression.】

【At this time, Waver already has the initial image of Lord II, his hands are tied behind his back, but he doesn't put up any resistance.】

【"You are Waver Velvet, my brother's disciple."】

【The little girl says plainly: "My brother's death has something to do with you, right?"】

【"Who are you?"】 【Waver clearly doesn't recognize this little girl.】

【Then the little girl begins to talk about her past.】

【It turns out the little girl is named "Reines El-Melloi Archisorte," and is the new Lord of El-Melloi.】

【After the Fourth Holy Grail War, because of Kayneth's sudden death, the El-Melloi faction fell apart.】

【Not only was the family property snatched by external forces, but many branch families also chose to break away after looting; what remained in the end was only the name of El-Melloi and huge debts.】

【The remaining people of the El-Melloi faction, in order to revitalize the name of El-Melloi, went through many twists and turns and finally found a person with high compatibility with the source crest, and that was Reines.】

【Just like that, the six-year-old Reines was pushed to become the new successor.】

【In order to declare the legitimate right of inheritance, the Archibald lineage announced to the outside world that Reines was actually an adopted sister taken in by Kayneth.】

【However, due to Reines' slight resistance, she still kept the surname Archisorte.】

Lord II: "..."

"What's wrong? Your expression is a bit off," Waver offline said strangely seeing Lord II like this.

"Nothing, you'll know later."

Lord II supported his forehead with one hand and covered his stomach with the other, feeling his stomach ache again.

Kayneth: "Reines, so it was her."

Kayneth still had some impression of Reines.

Reines was a rising star of the Archisorte family, only five years old this year.

In the El-Melloi faction, the Archisorte family could only be considered a bottom-tier one.

Kayneth knew Reines because of Reines' talent.

Although Reines didn't have many magic circuits, their quality was very high.

And, she also possessed innate Mystic Eyes.

Mystic Eyes were when a magus turned their own eyeballs into magic circuits, transforming the function originally used to receive external information into the ability to actively influence external things.

Mystic Eyes were generally divided into three types: innate, acquired, and artificial.

Innate was like Reines, born with a type of Mystic Eye, the cause of birth unknown.

Acquired was when a person awakened Mystic Eyes after experiencing or contacting some special situation.

The most representative one was naturally the famous Ryougi Shiki.

Because her consciousness observed "death" in the void for two years, she awakened the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" that could see death after waking up.

Artificial didn't need to be said; it was Mystic Eyes researched and manufactured by the magus themselves.

The most famous ones were the Clairvoyance of Merlin, Solomon, and the Wise King.

Originally the most ordinary Mystic Eyes, they were played into EX-level divine skills by these three big shots.

One could see through the past, one could see through the present, and one could see through the future.

You three should just go and replace the work of the three Fates.

Waver: "Teacher Kayneth, died in the Holy Grail War..."

Conqueror King: "Feels like something expected."

This video could be considered to have completely explained Kayneth's future, dying in the Holy Grail War.

Actually, Kayneth already had mental preparation for this point.

After all, according to the video's development, he was hit by an Origin Bullet, and his magic circuits were all ruined; how could he have the face to go back to the Mage's Association? He would definitely stay and fight to the death.

The only thing that made him care a bit was, if he died, what about his fiancée Sola-Ui?

She should have returned to the Mage's Association, right? After all, she wasn't a participant in the Holy Grail War.

【"Teacher's death indeed has something to do with me."】

【Waver didn't argue and said directly: "If I hadn't stolen the teacher's catalyst, the teacher might have been able to retreat unscathed."】

【Reines: "You're quite frank; do you know what's waiting for you?"】

【"Maybe it's paying with my life; I actually had mental preparation for this long ago."】

【Waver lowered his head and said: "But I still hope you can spare my life, because I have unfinished business I want to do."】

【Reines said with interest: "To make you say such things, what is it?"】

【"Just, a promise with someone."】

【Waver lowered his head, his tone becoming exceptionally heavy.】

Conqueror King: "Haha, little Master, the future you seems to have become much more stable."

Waver: "You're the one who has no right to say that."

【"Since that's the case, you obediently atone for the El-Melloi faction."】

【Reines showed an expression like a little devil.】

【"First is the debt owed by the El-Melloi faction; I'll leave it to you in the future."】

【"And the source crest of the El-Melloi faction; it's indeed a bit difficult to ask you to repair it all, you just need to repair one-tenth."】

【"No problem."】

【Waver agreed without hesitation, without any doubt.】

"Sigh..."

Looking at this scene in the video, Lord II felt his stomach ache even more.

【"Of course, there is one last thing."】

【Reines' expression changed suddenly, looking at Waver with a pitiful look, and said: "Can you help hold the position of Lord of El-Melloi until I grow to a suitable age?"】

【Clearly, the reason she tied Waver up today was mainly for this purpose.】

【"Th-this is naturally possible, but what exactly do you want me to do?"】 【Waver asked blankly.】

【Reines' condition was indeed something he hadn't expected.】

【"Hee hee, it's just that before I become an adult, let someone take on the work of the Lord."】

【Reines said this with a normal smile, directly shocking Waver.】

【Waver: "Wait, that means!"】

【"That's right, that's what it means."】

【Reines showed a devilish smile again and said: "Because dealing with other Lords is extremely boring, I'll have to trouble you, the new Lord of El-Melloi."】

【"Or should I call you that, dear Onii-chan."】

Kayneth: "I see; so that's how you inherited my position, Waver."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It feels like the position of Lord is completely something detestable in this girl's eyes."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "I get the feeling that the position of Lord is, in this girl's eyes, something entirely detestable."
