While claiming to be loyal, he openly resisted and refused many of Kenneth's demands, and his behavior in front of outsiders put Kenneth in a difficult position, as either persisting or backing down would cause Kenneth to lose face.

Since it is war, the means are not simply to fight openly and honestly.

War is not a contest.

Diarmuid's acknowledgment of Kenneth as his lord was merely a way to satisfy his regrets and alleviate his guilt.

Before his final exit, he cursed everyone, clearly including Kenneth. Strictly speaking, Kenneth's choice was not wrong. What's wrong with sacrificing a already dead hero to protect his and his fiancée's lives?

Moreover, Diarmuid's original wish was to be loyal to his lord, not to make a wish for the Holy Grail.

So wouldn't sacrificing himself to save his lord's life fit Diarmuid's mindset? In the end, Kenneth just had a bad attitude and distrust towards Diarmuid; he didn't actually do anything excessive to him.

Diarmuid's bad attitude and distrust were also his own fault. Anyone would be upset if their fiancée strayed and tried to kill them.

There is only one reason.

Diarmuid can sacrifice himself, trading his life for Kenneth's. Diarmuid's brilliance cannot be erased, but this must be Diarmuid's own will; he cannot be forced down this path.

The former was his heroic act of demonstrating chivalry and fulfilling his own dying wish, while the latter was him becoming a mere tool for sacrifice.

However, Diarmuid's condition was irrelevant to Aizen; he wasn't there to develop feelings for Diarmuid.

Therefore, he didn't want the title of "lord" either; let Finn keep that unlucky title.

If Finn could reconcile with Diarmuid back then, he can certainly do it now, since they are both "dead men".

He had let go of everything he needed to before he died.

After all, Finn didn't have much affection for Granny. His resentment at having his wife stolen was more about saving face than about saving face itself. The real issue was the various conflicts that arose from this issue of saving face.

Fortunately, although Finn's life was not perfect at the end, he did not leave any stain on his reputation after his death. He is still the greatest hero in Celtic mythology, and discerning people in later generations can understand that Finn did not do anything wrong.

Given this, aside from the lingering rifts and unresolved issues, the two are unlikely to develop into any life-or-death feud.

With Finn's methods, it wouldn't be difficult to get the less-than-ideal brush under control again.

Compared to this matter, Aizen's first priority is to resolve Sora's issues. At the very least, the task of achieving a happy ending for everyone cannot fail at the very first step due to Kenneth himself.

"Kenneth, what exactly do you want?"

Faced with Sora's questioning, which was clearly somewhat irrational yet also guilty, Aizen's eyes immediately turned cold.

Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading

Chapter 448 The Other Side of "Kenneth", Warning Sora 2/3

Why are you looking at me like that?

For some reason, Sora felt a sudden pang of unease looking at Kenneth now.

In the past, she might have found it incredibly unbelievable that a man who only knew how to please her could bring her this kind of pressure.

But today she gradually came to know a side of Kenneth that she had never seen before, and she unconsciously began to believe him.

You should know very well what I'm doing.

"Diarmuid is mine; I can see his abilities."

Aizen raised his right arm, which was covered in Command Seals, and said in a calm and rational voice: "Level 1 Inherent Skill: The Black Mole of Love."

He has the ability to charm the opposite sex, making any woman who faces him unconsciously fall in love with him.

As the person in charge of preparing that relic, you should be very familiar with Diarmuid's mythological history, even if you, Sora, didn't inherit "920".

"With the qualifications for the magic imprint, you should have had the mental preparation and magic skill to break free by now."

"Ha, ha, Kenneth, what are you talking about?"

Sora's smile was forced, revealing her obvious guilt.

The mole of love? Of course it is. In Kenneth's original work, the tragedy was caused by Sora's infidelity, in addition to his own attitude towards the Holy Grail War.

But to say how powerful this inherent skill is, it certainly goes beyond that; just look at Irisviel to see that this ability is not difficult to resist.

Irisviel's magical abilities, which she broke free from in a split second, are not necessarily superior to Sora's. Even though androids have twice the magical resistance of ordinary humans, Sora is still better than ordinary humans in every way.

Even without saying a word, one can resist this alluring curse in a matter of seconds; even if it takes only a little time, one can break free and break free.

After all, Sora was aware of Diarmuid's ability.

Ultimately, in the original story, she simply didn't want to resist. She wanted to indulge herself and fight for free love, and she wasn't willing to submit to Kenneth. Since that was the case, why not immerse herself in her infatuation with Diarmuid?

This is one of the reasons why Aizen believed that Diarmuid, despite his various flaws, still had his merits.

Diarmuid had repeatedly advised Sora to be mindful of the consequences. His unique abilities were his own; if Sora couldn't resist them, would he have advised her? Clearly, he knew perfectly well that Sora could break free from the curse of the beauty mark.

No matter what, this is just a basic ability.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush with you right now, Sora."

"The reason I'm putting aside my pride as the El-Melloi to curry favor with you isn't because of my mentor. You should know very well that even though my mentor is from the same clan, there's still a difference in status between us, both of us being one of the Twelve Lords."

"As long as you don't cross my bottom line, I can tolerate any of your whims, because you, Sora, are my fiancée, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald."

"But a woman's capriciousness is not endless."

"If you insist on testing my patience, then you'd better be prepared that the more I pamper you beforehand, the harsher the punishment will be in the end."

Slowly lowering his head to the other's ear, Aizen uttered his words in a measured and deliberate manner, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

Cold! Fear! Such feelings welled up in her heart. Her icy limbs spoke volumes about her current mood. The instinctive fear of Kenneth completely shattered all the feelings she had just had for Diarmuid.

At this moment, Kenneth felt both strange and natural to her.

Stripped of her beloved status, she and the man before her had never had the right to speak on equal terms; all along, she had only been arrogantly indulging in her favor.

Sora, finally realizing the truth at this moment, couldn't help but give a self-deprecating, bitter smile.

This man, no matter what, is the head of El-Melloi.

But she was still unwilling to accept it, unwilling to become a victim of a family marriage.

Aizen, with his keen insight into people's hearts, clearly understood the other party's mindset, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

This kind of woman is just self-righteous.

Born into a prestigious family, Sora is luckier than many others, possessing the lineage of a magician and the heritage of a noble family.

She was born enjoying privileges that countless others did not have, and wielding power that countless others lacked. All of this was given to her by her family. She accepted the family's gifts but was unwilling to pay the price for them.

Aizen didn't necessarily believe that being born into a prestigious family meant sacrificing one's happiness for the sake of the family.

If someone is born into a prestigious family but doesn't receive the treatment they deserve, then there's no need to repay any kindness received.

If she receives all the treatment she deserves, she can't just accept this gift without a clear conscience. She should strive to become a strong or useful person to repay her family. If she discusses it reasonably, no one will force her. After all, Sora is an adult, not a child like Sakura Tohsaka who needs a guardian to make all the decisions. In the end, she has enjoyed everything but has no ability to give back. It is really normal for her happiness to be sacrificed.

Perhaps it's easier to understand from a different perspective.

Aizen's Espada, Gin Ichimaru, and other powerful figures all possess formidable fighting strength, so Aizen would naturally grant them the rights and status they deserve, provided they do not betray him.

Conversely, the weaklings he wasted resources cultivating couldn't even beat a vice-captain, so it was only right that he used them as cannon fodder.

The absence of a magic mark to inherit does not mean the absence of other family resources.

Having accepted resources but unable to create value for themselves, what gives them the audacity to speak so arrogantly and self-righteously about being unwilling to accept that their fate is not in their own hands?

Fortunately, after his "threats"

Sora finally came to her senses.

This experience left a deep impression. As long as Sora doesn't lose her mind, she shouldn't become obsessed with Diarmuid again, regardless of whether he accepts the marriage arrangement willingly or not.

After all, without the Holy Grail War, she would never have had the ability or the right to resist change.

Therefore, Aizen did not dwell on the topic, and his tone became gentle and confident again.

"I didn't expect to summon two of them this time due to the violation. I can provide enough magic power for two people, but maintaining three people at the same time is still a bit difficult, which is not conducive to my own combat."

You mean 2?

"I will transfer the magical energy supply of one of them to you."

"I see."

Having calmed down, Sora didn't refuse, "Kenneth."

What he said makes perfect sense. If three Servants of the third rank were to unleash their full power together, and all of that power were supplied by one person, even Kenneth, a Rank 3 Servant, would likely be drained dry.

"who is it"

Sora asked a casual question before the transfer ceremony.

However, she didn't care about that answer.

In her view, Diarmuid was impossible, and Finn seemed to be getting along well with Kenneth, whose strength and background were also the strongest. In order to bring out Finn's best strength, Kenneth would not change his identity.

But the answer is often unexpected.

"Dirumdo".

"Um!"

After her initial shock, Sora gave Kenneth a long look, wondering what he was thinking.

Chapter 449 The War Begins, A Visit to the Matou Family (3/3)

"Gaia-chan, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"There's something wrong with Kenneth in this world. As long as he doesn't intentionally die, he can't possibly die when he summons Finn. According to every timeline, Kenneth shouldn't have a chance of survival."

""

Loli Alaya quietly moved a few steps away from Gaia.

As a collective of human consciousness, Alaya doesn't care about who lives or dies. It's normal for the same person in different parallel worlds to have some subtle changes. It wouldn't be a bad thing for Kenneth to be able to live in one world.

Strictly speaking, whether Kenneth lives or dies has no impact on Earth, so why does Gaia necessarily want to kill him?

This puzzled Alaya, who couldn't help but ask, "But he's already summoned Finn, so even if you give him Diarmuid, it won't do any good, right?"

"No, Finn and Diarmuid have a conflict, as does Kenneth, and Finn is also cursed with the curse of a femme fatale. The conflict between the three might deepen further."

Gaia thought for a moment, but her attitude remained stubborn.

Alaya didn't take this seriously.

Both are curses, but compared to the beauty mark on the brush, Finn's femme fatale is on a much higher level.

However, Finn's skill does not have the ability to forcibly charm; on the contrary, it reduces his resistance to beautiful women by 16, but it only reduces resistance, not eliminates it.

Finn has seen all kinds of beautiful women; he wouldn't turn against his Master for an ordinary woman he's already engaged to.

"Moreover, Hattori Hanzo's clone has also inexplicably appeared. With three Servants under his command, Kenneth is likely to win this Holy Grail War."

""

Gaia instantly became withdrawn.

Yes, the opponent not only has two Servants who are at odds with each other, but also Hattori Hanzo who can gain a local faith bonus.

The two Counter Forces themselves were also somewhat baffled as to why Hattori Hanzo had sent out a clone. Investigating Hattori Hanzo himself yielded no results, but it was a fact that his power had indeed descended. They couldn't find the reason, nor could they forcibly take it back.

With three Heroic Spirits at his disposal, and a god-slayer like Finn, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Kenneth to declare victory already.

For example, if we win, the victory in this Holy Grail War belongs to us... *cough cough*, I digress.

"Since there's been an illegal summoning, it wouldn't be unreasonable for us to send one down as well."

"Gaia had a brilliant idea in mind," Gaia suggested, her eyes lighting up.

"No, you can't."

After thinking about it for a while, Alaya realized it made sense and didn't stop it.

Thus, another invisible variable quietly emerged in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

All seven Masters in the seven groups have been summoned.

Having resolved the internal conflicts, Aizen, who possessed three Heroic Spirits, decisively decided to continue using Diarmuid as the nominal leader. Hattori and Finn remained in hiding for the time being, as the banquet for the Three Kings was none of their concern, even those addressed as "Lord."

Finn's situation is essentially the same as Aizen's.

Rather than a true king, he can be used as a hidden killing move when unnecessary.

Because of the strong desire of the three members and the Master to make a wish using the Holy Grail, the internal relationships were relatively pleasant despite the somewhat large number of members.

At the beginning, Aizen pulling Zyra away made Diarmuid somewhat embarrassed.
