"The Holy Grail... My Holy Grail, the Einzbern's destiny."
Having traced the Holy Grail for centuries, Jubstacheit would naturally not mistake this thing.
Although he wasn't very clear why the Holy Grail would appear in Arthas's hands, he couldn't care about that now.
The old man nearly went crazy and snatched the Holy Grail into his hands, greedily embracing it.
However, what Jubstacheit didn't notice was that within the glittering golden Holy Grail, a turbid, pitch-black liquid was slowly flowing out.
Before long, a pool of it had accumulated at his feet.
The old man didn't notice, but both Sakura and Illya noticed the filthy substance flowing out of the Holy Grail.
"What's that... Is that really the Holy Grail?"
Sakura asked this with some confusion.
Ever since Arthas had failed in the Holy Grail War ten years ago, Jubstacheit had brainwashed her and Illya, telling them to obtain the Holy Grail, this omnipotent cauldron, at all costs.
Actually, they didn't need Jubstacheit's coaxing.
Sakura and Illya also very much wanted to win back the Holy Grail, so that they could make a wish to bring Arthas and their mother, Irisviel, back.
The two girls had never believed that their parents were really dead, and now, Arthas had indeed returned before them.
"Mom... Mom? Father, since you're alright, then Mom must be alright too, right?"
Illya said this expectantly, and Arthas showed a gentle smile.
"Of course. I'm alright, so how could anything happen to Irisviel? Don't worry. You'll be able to meet Mom soon."
Arthas said this, and then took Sakura and Illya away from this snowy place, leaving only Jubstacheit, who was hugging the Holy Grail and shouting madly.
Soon, his body was completely covered and devoured by the black mud flowing from the Holy Grail, disappearing without a trace.
Irisviel was indeed not dead, but back then, her body had been devoured by the Sin of this World.
In order to protect her soul from being contaminated, Arthas had had to abandon her body.
And now, Arthas, having regained his power, was able to easily create a new body for Irisviel.
Returning to the Einzbern's castle, Arthas helped Irisviel condense a new body and then guided her soul into it.
"Wh-Where is this?"
Having just woken up, Irisviel still seemed somewhat at a loss. Before she had a chance to observe her surroundings, she was hugged by two people.
"Mom, Mom! It's so good that you're alright too!"
Sakura and Illya, having reunited after a long separation, cried very sadly, while Arthas on the side showed a warm smile.
"It's alright... Everything's alright. Now, our family is reunited."
Showing an incredibly gentle expression, Irisviel tightly hugged the two girls who were crying in her arms.
And watching their touching reunion, Arthas turned and left the room, temporarily leaving the time to them.
Not long after, Arthas heard a sound coming from behind him. It was Yozakura who had come out.
"What's wrong... Aren't you going to spend more time with your mother?"
"It's alright. Let Illya spend more time with Mom. After all, Illya is..."
Sakura was just about to say something, but Arthas reached out his finger and pressed it against her lips.
"Don't think nonsense. Whether it's you or Illya, I treat you equally. You're both my lovely daughters."
Arthas said this gently, and Sakura nodded with a red face. Then, she gently hugged Arthas from behind.
No longer a naive child, but a girl who had already developed into a shapely woman.
The moment Sakura hugged him from behind, Arthas felt a wonderful sensation.
"Sakura... Don't mess around."
His voice became somewhat flustered.
Arthas said this somewhat awkwardly, seeming to hope that Sakura would let go of him.
"After learning the Einzbern family's magic from Grandpa, I finally understood what kind of existence the Matou family was."
However, Sakura didn't listen to Arthas's orders, but hugged his body even tighter.
I know everything about the past of the Matou family, and the Matou family's magic.
It's really hard for Sakura to imagine what kind of result would have awaited her if she had gone to the Matou family back then.
Sakura said this, trembling involuntarily, her voice full of fear and dread.
Thank you so much... Thank you so much, Father.
If Father hadn't appeared at that time and risked offending the head of the Matou family to snatch me away, perhaps the Sakura of today wouldn't be Sakura anymore.
"Silly child..."
Arthas shook his head with some amusement. What else could he say?
He could only let Sakura hug him so tightly, touching the taboo that the two of them shouldn't touch.
"Father, Sakura has grown up. She's a big girl now, and she can repay your kindness too."
"What nonsense are you talking about... What kindness or ungratefulness?"
Arthas said this somewhat awkwardly, and Sakura gently cupped his head, turning it around so that he was facing her face to face.
"Please don't refuse, Father. If Father doesn't want Sakura either, Sakura doesn't know what she should do."
The girl's gentle words made Arthas somewhat at a loss for what to do. He wanted to refuse the other party, but he didn't know what he should do.
So he could only watch as the girl's beautiful face got closer and closer to him, and then a gentle kiss landed on his lips.
This kiss seemed to ignite a certain flame in Arthas's heart.
He had used the Holy Grail and the Sin of this World not long ago, and with the forbidden status and title between the two, Arthas erupted in an instant, pinning Sakura down almost frantically.
"That's great. Sakura can also do something for Father."
As for Arthas, he had originally been somewhat hesitant, but since Sakura herself was already like this, then what was there to hesitate about?
He had already pushed Kurumi, so he didn't care about adding another one.
The current him was no longer the Arthas who had been somewhat confused about the future.
The current him was the unruly Lich King, so he naturally didn't have any scruples when doing things.
