...

Leaning on her sword, which was plunged into the ground, Artoria hung her head, her face hidden in the shadows.

"Sir Lancelot!"

Whispering Lancelot's name, Artoria appeared incredibly vulnerable.

Opposite her, the holy sword, Arondight, gleamed under the moonlight, its blade radiating a sharp brilliance.

Whoosh!

With the sound of a sword being drawn, the white-haired incubus, clad in mage robes, pulled the holy sword from the ground and held it before his face, admiring its sharpness.

It was Merlin.

Having witnessed the conclusion of the battle between Artoria and Lancelot, Merlin, who only appeared before her at the end of their story, couldn't help but sigh.

"Artoria, can you still not accept the past?"

"I cannot accept it!"

Slightly raising her head, Artoria's eyes shone with unwavering determination.

"Such stubbornness..." Merlin muttered, a troubled expression on his face.

Just who instilled such a stubborn personality in her?

Oh, it was me?

Never mind then.

Merlin threw his hands up in exasperation. He had no way to deal with Artoria's stubbornness.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed her to wallow in the pain of the past for so long.

Just as Merlin was about to continue his persuasion, a sharp gasp escaped Artoria's lips.

"What's happening?!"

A shiver ran through her body as her eyes widened in disbelief.

Her Master had just been changed.

"Oh, I didn't expect Mika to do that. It's quite surprising," Merlin chuckled, instantly understanding Artoria's situation. "I thought he would simply remain a spectator."

He grasped Mika's intentions.

In truth, he had considered doing the same, but such an act required the other party's willingness, not a hidden agenda.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless.

"It seems my journey in reality will be longer than I anticipated," Merlin mused, gazing towards the distant altar, a smile playing on his lips.

"Mika...?"

Hearing Merlin's words, Artoria realized the identity of her new Master.

Fury flashed in her eyes as she dashed towards the altar, where a powerful magical energy was emanating.

"Is she angry?"

Watching Artoria vanish swiftly, propelled by her Invisible Air boundary field, Merlin paused for a moment before comprehending her thoughts.

"Does she think Mika killed her Master?"

"Hold on, that's a misunderstanding!"

Merlin hurriedly chased after her.

...

As Merlin had suspected, Artoria believed her Master was in danger.

Based on her understanding of Kiritsugu Emiya, a typical threat wouldn't compel him to relinquish his Command Spells.
