Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice II

Chapter 398

Chloe squatted by the riverbank, hugging her knees with one hand, while the other idly picked up a small pebble and tossed it towards the water.

"Drip, drip, drip..."

The pebble danced across the water's surface, skipping three times before finally sinking beneath the gentle ripples.

Her thoughts were in chaos.

"What am I supposed to do?"

This question kept echoing in her mind.

She was the one who had been abandoned, destined to fade away.

Her presence outside of Illya's body owed itself to Astraea.

As an entity, she lacked a true physical form; her existence was nothing more than magical energy. Yet, once her magical energy was entirely spent, she would vanish again.

Ironically, her original intention had been to end Illya's life. But without the means to possess her body, she hesitated. If she killed her and couldn't preserve the body, it would quickly decay.

But now, what could she do?

Jealousy and resentment had driven her to attack Irisviel.

There was no turning back for her now.

In truth, there was never a place she could return to. Everything she had was taken away by someone else, leaving her with nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Except for these memories that nobody acknowledged.

Deep within her mind, she held onto the bittersweet memories, silently savoring them in the darkness.

"The day I arrived in Fuyuki City, I received the first and second gifts. The next day, Kiritsugu took me to a cafe. The third day, he took me to have a parent-child meal. On the fourth day, onii-chan took me to Ryuudou Temple to make a wish. And on the fifth day, I received the third gift..."

"The wish I made to that green-haired uncle was not to forget anything."

"Because... all of these moments are my precious memories."

"But now, I wish I could forget these memories."

Because... the more she cherished these beautiful memories, the more her heart ached.

Chloe grabbed a small stone from beside her and flung it into the river.

But right then...

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

A sudden rush of air filled the surroundings, and dazzling weapon glows tore through the sky, hurtling straight towards her.

Reacting swiftly, Chloe transformed and summoned her shield to block the relentless onslaught of these weapons.

However, her shield was easily torn apart by the onslaught of these weapons, forcing her to retreat hastily from the scene. Her eyes focused on the source of the attack, where a golden-haired boy dressed in Sumerian style, stood with a smile adorning his face.

He greeted her, "Hello there, onee-san. I finally found you."

"Who are you? And why did you suddenly attack me?" she shouted.

"To answer why, it's quite simple. I want to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me," Gil smiled, extending his hand towards her. "Can you give my other half back to me, onee-san?"

"What other half? I have no idea what you're talking about!" she yelled in response.

"The card that created your body,"
