"This time... the long-cherished wish will definitely come to our Einzbern's side!"
Jubstacheit von Einzbern said this with certainty.
He had been preparing for this day for far too long, and this time, he had personally prepared the strongest trump card.
There was absolutely no way he could fail again.
With those two children's terrifying magical power, if they could summon that trump card, then they would definitely be assured of victory in this Holy Grail War.
Jubstacheit von Einzbern thought this, and then moved his aging body and left the room.
As soon as he walked out of the room, the homunculus maid standing outside came over to support the old man.
"How are Illya and Sakura's preparations going?" Jubstacheit asked softly.
"Everything is ready. We can summon the Heroic Spirits at any time."
The homunculus maid said this in an emotionless voice, and Jubstacheit nodded with satisfaction.
Since one Heroic Spirit couldn't guarantee victory, then they would summon two.
With Illya and Yozakura's qualifications, the two of them working together would definitely be assured of victory!
"Take me there."
The old man said this, and then the maid supported him and walked outside. For this old man, who had been alive for who knew how long, something like family affection didn't exist.
After all, even Irisviel, this so-called granddaughter, was just a homunculus that he had created. And Illya and Sakura were just tools for him to obtain the Holy Grail.
But recently, these two tools had become more and more disobedient. It seemed necessary to put shackles on them to make them understand who their master really was.
Outside the Einzbern family's castle was a forest covered in snow. The seemingly beautiful forest was full of killing intent everywhere.
There were countless magical barriers set up by the Einzbern family.
Without a dedicated person to lead them, no one should even think about entering or leaving this snow-covered city.
Following the maid's support, they stepped onto a small slope. Going down the slope, the view was very wide.
Jubstacheit quietly looked at the two girls standing back-to-back in the snow below.
One had long black hair. Although she still looked somewhat immature, her body had already begun to develop, full of the charm of a mature woman.
The other was a girl who looked to be only about ten years old, with long snow-white hair and bright red eyes. She looked just like a copy of Irisviel.
Surrounding the two girls were strangely shaped beasts. These were all magical beasts that the Einzbern had researched, used to train and stimulate the two girls' magical power.
"Very good. As children of the Einzbern, only in this kind of battle can they stimulate the magical power in their bodies more quickly and become stronger. Do your best. Grandpa is looking forward to your performance."
Looking at the girls surrounded by beasts below, Jubstacheit narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just as these beasts were about to swarm forward, a terrifying power descended from the sky, instantly freezing all of these strangely shaped beasts into ice blocks.
"Wh-What's going on?!"
Jubstacheit looked at everything that was happening before him with a look of incomprehension. This terrifying power could definitely not be done by an ordinary mage!
Could it be a Heroic Spirit? But how was that possible... Whether it was the catalyst or the summoning circle, nothing had been prepared. How could a Heroic Spirit descend?
Just as Jubstacheit was looking unsettled, the owner of that terrifying power finally appeared before him.
And after seeing the man's appearance, Jubstacheit couldn't say a word.
"How is this possible... How is it possible, Arthas? Aren't you already dead?"
"Father... Father?!"
Ignoring Jubstacheit's surprised appearance, both Yozakura and Illya widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at Arthas, who had suddenly appeared before them.
"Father!"
The feeling in her blood wouldn't be wrong. While Yozakura still looked somewhat at a loss, Illya had already rushed into Arthas's arms, crying.
"Sorry, Illya, Yozakura. I've kept you waiting," Arthas said slowly, showing a gentle expression. Yozakura on the side couldn't help but shed tears as well.
"Father... Is it really you?"
"It's me... I'm back. Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"Father!"
Yozakura couldn't help but rush into Arthas's arms as well, and the latter gently stroked the girl's head, saying with some emotion.
"Yozakura, you've grown up. You're a big girl now."
"Arthas... You didn't die after all."
Just as the father and daughters were enjoying their rare reunion, a somewhat jarring voice rang out from above. Jubstacheit looked down with an ugly expression.
If Arthas had returned, then his plan would inevitably be unable to continue. These two girls were already geniuses in magic.
Adding their father to that, he would definitely have no chance of winning.
"Thank you for taking care of Illya and Yozakura all these years, old man."
"Hmph... You traitor. What right do you have to appear before me? If it weren't for you, our Einzbern wouldn't have lost the Holy Grail War!"
"Even now, you still refuse to give up on that pathetic thing, the Holy Grail?"
"What do you know? The Holy Grail is the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish. I must obtain it for the family!"
"Very well... Since you want it, I'll give it to you."
What Jubstacheit hadn't expected was that he had thought that Arthas was going to take his life, but the other party had said these words instead.
"What... do you mean?"
Naturally stunned for a moment, Jubstacheit asked this with incomprehension.
"I said... I'm going to give you the Holy Grail. Don't you understand?"
Chuckling lightly, Arthas slowly raised his palm, and then a golden cup slowly floated up from the palm of his hand.
"The Holy Grail... This is the Holy Grail!"
He had originally thought that Arthas was just playing with him, but after seeing the true appearance of the object that had appeared before his eyes, Jubstacheit's breathing couldn't help but become rapid.
Although he didn't know how the other party had done it, this appearance, this aura, the thing that had appeared before his eyes was undoubtedly the Holy Grail!
