Chapter 650

Rin Tohsaka: "Why is it called a forbidden emotion?"

Extra Feng Xi: "You forgot, Jeanne is a Heroic Spirit; after the Holy Grail War ends, she returns to the Throne of Heroes."

Rin Tohsaka: "I see, an emotion destined to have no result."

Extra Feng Xi: "Unless Jeanne can be like Amakusa Shirou and obtain the Holy Grail to complete incarnation."

Waver: "That's also hard to handle."

Jeanne: "..."

Sieg: "..."

【Gilles: "You—love this boy, loving this boy with an emotion a Saint shouldn't have. This is not the emotion of a parent for a child, nor is it the emotion for a friend; this emotion of yours should undoubtedly be called love."】

【Jeanne: "No! Whether it's infatuation or love, it has nothing to do with me... it must be like that!"】

【The one holding this emotion is not herself; things must be like that.】

【Jeanne fell into self-denial; this is the true attack of Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm, "First Folio: The Time for the Performance Has Come, Let Us Give Thunderous Applause to This Place."】

【Shakespeare never thought of defeating Jeanne through the past, because he knew how strong Jeanne's will was. So he chose to start from an emotion Jeanne had never had.】

【That is love.】

【There is no romance in Jeanne's life; there is only universal love for all humanity. Everyone thinks so, and even she thinks so herself.】

【Shakespeare impacted Jeanne's heart in a roundabout way, making her subconsciously reveal the locked-away emotion, then immediately followed up with a victory, mercilessly decomposing it.】

Sola: "How shameless, to actually use love as a tool to attack people's hearts."

Sakura Matou: "That's right, that's right."

Brynhildr: "Those who defile love should be killed."

Shakespeare: "Oh, I—"

All women: "Shut up!"

Shakespeare: "..."

【Gilles: "Then, you don't admit it?"】

【"I..."】

【Just as Jeanne wanted to affirm it, her throat choked up.】

【Sieg's deep red eyes flashed in her mind involuntarily.】

【Admitting this emotion or something... is blasphemous to the point of dizziness. Compared to anyone, it is most rude to him, because he—】

【"... I don't admit it, I don't admit this emotion."】

【Jeanne said this resolutely.】

【The palpitation in her heart belongs to Laeticia; it is something that humans who should live in this world should enjoy; she doesn't have that right.】

Laeticia: "..."

Did she really fall in love with Sieg, thereby affecting Miss Jeanne, or is she deceiving herself.

【Gilles: "Oh my, exactly! As expected of Saint Jeanne d'Arc of Orléans! You couldn't possibly have such an emotion, you shouldn't have!"】

【Jeanne: "Hmm?"】

【Gilles applauded, Shakespeare also applauded, and Jeanne just accepted the applause blankly.】

【She thought she would be refuted, but she didn't expect them to readily agree with this answer.】

【But she didn't know, this was just Shakespeare's trap.】

【This guy loves to add two or three layers of foreshadowing before a big reversal.】

【Gilles: "Because you know his fate; no matter how he struggles, he will use up all his Command Spells in this Holy Grail War and die."】

【"It shouldn't be—"】

【Jeanne subconsciously wanted to refute, but she was stunned, then fell into self-doubt.】

【Are you sure? Don't you know? As long as he uses up all his Command Spells in this war, he will indeed die, and he will use all of them in this war; there is no doubt about it.】

【No, it won't be like that; he hopes to live, at least she has that feeling. Ah, but, he is also a Heroic Spirit.】

【More than the will to live, he pursues his dream more strongly. Just like he risked his life to slay the dragon in the past, wouldn't he also risk his life to defeat the Red Faction's servants in this world?】

【Maybe, she actually. No, no, no—】

【"No! It can't be like this! It can't be like this!"】

【Shakespeare: "You had to use him, because his power as a Servant is necessary to fight us! That's right, that homunculus didn't come here based on his choice, but you made the choice."】

【"You killed him!"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Bastard, using this kind of twisted logic to attack again."

Sola: "What kind of great writer Shakespeare, to actually toy with a girl like this; his heart is completely black."

Illya: "That's right, unfollowing."

Jeanne: "Sieg, I—"

Sieg: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Miss Jeanne. My joining the Holy Grail War was entirely my own decision."

Sieg: "From the moment I decided to save my compatriots, it was destined that I couldn't stay out of it."

Sieg: "This was a decision out of my personal will, guided by no one!"

Astolfo: "That's right, that's right!"

Waver: "Shakespeare, this guy created a bunch of stories before, actually just to disturb Jeanne's thoughts, and finally successfully led her thoughts astray."

Rin Tohsaka: "The routines are really layer upon layer, making people unable to defend against them."

Extra Feng Xi: "It's mainly because the person involved is confused; this kind of method, as soon as Sieg comes, it will be broken."

Astolfo: "That's right, it's really a low-class method."

【Shakespeare's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Jeanne's heart.】

【She wanted to refute, but couldn't.】

【No matter how she tried to deny or defend, his words were correct.】
