Therefore, on this timeline, Kirei Kotomine's Magic Circuits had not been damaged.
Moreover, Kirei Kotomine's fiancée, Sola, had not died. As for whether she had been cursed by Diarmuid's "Mole of Love," Ailin did not know.
However, even if Sola had been cursed and fallen in love with Diarmuid, Kirei Kotomine could not possibly abandon her.
And Sola's father could not possibly give up the opportunity to win over Kirei Kotomine by having Sola break off the engagement.
Thus, Kirei Kotomine and Sola were destined to be together in the future.
Once he had children of his own, no matter how highly Kirei Kotomine regarded Waver, it was highly unlikely that he would pass his Magic Crest down to him.
In the world of magi, family inheritance was extraordinarily important.
Though a first-generation magus might sound impressive, in the world of magi, they were no different from "paupers" or "weaklings."
Every powerful magus relied on the accumulations of their family's predecessors over generations, steadily improving the family's magecraft generation after generation, to attain their current might.
Waver's family had inherited its Magic Crest for only three generations, and was scorned and ridiculed by the other long-established magi within the Clock Tower.
With Kirei Kotomine's Magic Crest, Waver could grow into the Clock Tower's "Lord El-Melloi II." Without Kirei Kotomine's Magic Crest, Waver's ultimate achievements would at most be comparable to those of a fourth-generation magus.
Do not underestimate four generations. It meant that through his own efforts alone, Waver could rival nearly two generations of accumulation by other magus families.
If several geniuses like Waver emerged among his descendants, perhaps the Clock Tower might one day gain another "Velvet Xth."
In the end, what made Ailin spare Waver was Waver's own wish.
He wanted to continue serving Iskandar, the King
