She heard her fiancé declare that he was giving up the Holy Grail War for her sake.
What... what the hell is this man doing?! Don't accept the enemy's conditions so easily!
Aren't you a member of the El-Melloi Family? Why are you giving up the Holy Grail War? Kill this brat!
You idiot! You good-for-nothing coward! You useless man!
As Sola cursed Kenshinnes for his weakness, something subtle quietly shifted within her as well.
She had seen a side of her fiancé that no one else knew.
So even the proud and arrogant Lord El-Melloi had a side that could compromise and submit.
Not for anyone else, nor for himself, but precisely for Sola Naizare Sophia-li.
Suddenly, a feeling she had never experienced before began to sprout in Sola's heart.
It wasn't that she had been deeply moved by Kenshinnes's limitless devotion and fallen in love with him. Rather—
Sola had developed a feeling toward him akin to motherly love: This guy is so useless. I can't just leave him alone...
At this point, even Kenshinnes's sharp-tongued expression seemed to have become somewhat adorable.
"Sola..."
Kenshinnes looked at Sola as she approached him, his lips trembling uncontrollably. "You're really all right... I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"You're not dreaming, you idiot..."
Sola spoke softly as she bent down and embraced Kenshinnes.
"Huh?"
Kenshinnes's eyes widened.
Come to think of it, although they had been engaged for many years, this was their first physical contact.
"Er, Sola..."
Kenshinnes was at a loss, his hands suspended awkwardly in midair.
At that moment, Sola, nestled in his arms, murmured:
"Kenshinnes, can't you even hold your own woman tightly?"
Shirou withdrew his gaze from the embracing couple and walked to the side with a sigh.
"You can stop crying now."
