Chapter 651

【She brought the pure him onto the battlefield by fighting side-by-side, and although she denied him going to the battlefield several times, she didn't refuse to be with him.】

【If it were really for his own good, if she really thought for him, even if it would hurt him, she shouldn't have been with him—】

【"Jeanne, you know, right? No, you're just pretending not to know, and you didn't go to understand."】

【Gilles spoke again, just like he guided Jeanne on the battlefield in the past.】

【"Saint, your revelation ordered you to bring this homunculus to this battlefield, but were you told that if you didn't do so, he wouldn't get a happy ending? That's right, this boy was 'born to die here'; that is his happiness."】

【Jeanne: "No... that's not right..."】

【She still wanted to word a refutation, but at this moment, her ability as a Ruler allowed her to receive a message.】

【Red Faction Lancer, Karna, confirmed eliminated.】

【Black Faction Saber, Siegfried, confirmed eliminated.】

【"... Dead?"】

【Jeanne couldn't believe it for a moment.】

【The effect of Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm is "only allowing people to watch," and it cannot interfere with her abilities.】

【So, this is true.】

【Siegfried eliminated, which also means—Sieg, killed in action!】

【"Ahhhhhhhhh!"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Hmm? Sieg died?"

Waver: "No, Jeanne was completely misled; the other side implanted the statement 'you will die when you use up your Command Spells' into her cognition from the beginning, making her think this is 'certain'."】

Rin Tohsaka: "I see, it's not that Sieg died, but that his Command Spells were used up."

Rin Tohsaka: "It really is a routine, but it just happened to catch up."

【Shakespeare watched this scene, opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Alright, the type of this stage play is decided! It's a comedy! I say Saint! Welcome to the world of murder! I didn't expect that you, who haven't dirtied your hands even once, would choose the boy you admire from the bottom of your heart as your first victim!"】

【"I killed him!"】

【"I killed him, I chose him with these hands, used these words to instigate, and killed him!"】

【"You are a murderer. Why didn't you make up your mind, even if he hated you, even if he would be sad, you should have stopped him at all costs!"】

【"Liar, liar, liar! I should have known he would die! Should have known things would turn out like this, would walk toward this kind of result..."】

【The world collapsed, everything returned to reality, but Jeanne was unable to fight anymore, curled up in a ball and crying bitterly.】

【She relived her life in Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm, but in reality, only ten minutes had passed.】

Sieg: "Miss Jeanne..."

Jeanne: "..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Lost; didn't expect to be defeated by the other side in this way."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Attacking the heart? Didn't expect Heroic Spirits to fight in this way."

Shakespeare: "Thanks for the compliment."

Waver: "That wasn't a compliment to you."

Feng Xi: "This kind of method of yours will be hung on a lamppost."

【At the same time, above, Semiramis's throne room.】

【Sieg and the others finally arrived here and saw Shishigou Kairi's corpse.】

【"... Let's go, there's nothing here anymore."】

【Looking at the mess around them, and not seeing Mordred's figure, they also understood what happened, and could only shake their heads and prepare to leave.】

【The fact that this Hanging Garden was still operating proved that Semiramis was still alive.】

【Astolfo: "Although you said to move forward, where are we going from here—"】

【Suddenly, his "Trap of Argalia" began to operate at high speed, pouncing toward Sieg.】

【Astolfo only then noticed that a black vortex had appeared behind Sieg at some point.】

【"Watch out!"】
