Huh? Are they all real?.

Her gaze returned to her left hand, which was still resting in Moen's palm.

"Shouldn't this hand also be hiding a piece of candy?"

Moen released her, but it was his own hand that fell down.

"Yes, she was afraid I would guess wrong and be disappointed, so she would hide a piece of candy she made herself in both hands."

She nodded and then held her left hand in front of her eyes:

"As I thought, otherwise I would have had no reason to be discovered by you."

“I absolutely shouldn’t have made a mistake, so she kept some of her memories to herself.”

She is not merely a childish copy of the Shadow Assassins in appearance.

It is a deeper kind of 'replacement' that can even fool the world.

Or rather, she really was Queen Seresera.

Her memories, appearance, behavior, and soul were all exactly as Queen Seresera should be.

This is a gift from the primordial beginnings, a miracle of the Holy Grail!

Therefore, throughout countless ages, no one in the entire Twilight Kingdom or even the entire world has ever discovered that she is not Queen Seresera.

Except for him, who went home.

The reason for this flaw is simply that the real queen still kept a little bit of her last memory hidden away.

Otherwise, God would never recognize that his king is not his king.

"So what are you going to do?"

She lowered her hand and waited for Moen's answer with an extremely dignified yet lifeless, stiff posture.

Instead of answering her, Moen asked another question:

"Why is this happening?"

Still maintaining that inhuman appearance, she calmly said:

"Because this is Queen Seresera's wish."

Please be patient, but the Queen cannot bear to live without him.

So the Queen picked up the Holy Grail.

He made a wish upon the Holy Grail.

"She not only couldn't bear the terrible days of losing you, but also wanted you to be able to return to this beautiful world, but strangely enough."

"I can't even do that."

Even when she used a question, her tone and expression remained unchanged.

She was simply stating a point of confusion she had encountered.

“I am the Holy Grail, I am the original divine creation. There should be no miracles in this world that I cannot perform, only prices that cannot be paid. This was decided long ago in the beginning.”

“But I cannot bring you back, not because the Queen cannot afford such a price, but because I simply cannot do it.”

That was the first mistake I made.

As she spoke, she pointed to herself and Moen:

"This is the second one today. But I can understand this one."

Moen, who had lowered his head, asked in confusion:

"If it can't be done, then why did it turn out this way?"

Moen's question brought a hint of confusion to her eyes.

She realized that she had used a lengthy explanation, which was also a mistake that should not have been made.

She should have given a precise answer from the beginning.

why?

Another question arose in her mind.

But she didn't stop there; instead, she continued to answer Moen's questions.

“I can’t bring you back, but she hasn’t given up. And she believes it’s not that I can’t do it, but that she can’t pay the price.”

"After all, in our understanding, you are just an ordinary, powerful deity. You should not exceed the original gift."

The Holy Grail can do anything, as long as you can afford the price to use it.

But what the cost will be remains unknown.

Because each time is different, and always exceptionally heavy.

This is common sense, like the ironclad law of the God-King.

"So, she changed her approach."

Having guessed the answer, Moen said with a bitter expression:

"To become the Holy Grail?"

The sorrow contained in that voice did not dissipate into the gradually darkening mansion.

They invaded another person's body in another form.

She deliberately broke her dignified, inhuman posture, raising her hand to touch her heart.

She felt that something was wrong with her body.

It's very congested here, and it's very uncomfortable.

She had confirmed that everything in her body was normal, but the feeling was very real, and she couldn't even accurately describe what it felt like.

First the mind, then the body?

why?

She discovered that ever since she met this strange supreme being, she, who had never made a mistake before, began to malfunction one after another.

After confirming several times that she could not find the root of the problem, she lowered her hand and resumed her inhumanly dignified posture.

It does not affect the body's continued use, so it is judged that the answer should continue to the hermit.

“Yes, the Holy Lance Rungomminiad is a sacred relic that wields power through its own will, as is the Holy Tree Yggdrasil. So she thinks the Holy Grail can too, but she can’t guarantee that a Holy Grail that has gained its own will will obey her expectations.”

"Therefore, she chose to become the Holy Grail herself. In this way, she can call you back and allow you to use the Holy Grail at will without any worries."

It can both bring back her lover and allow her lover to wield the powerful Holy Grail at will.

For Seresera at that time, this was a completely unthinkable issue.

"But the only problem is that she finds herself having to consider your feelings if she really succeeds. She loves you deeply and knows everything about you."

"She knows you can't accept this ending. What you want isn't the Holy Grail that you can use at will, but her whole self."

"So, she turned me back into her!"

“I will stay by your side in her place, so that you will have the perfect Holy Grail without losing ‘me’. She will find you again!”

"This is the perfect answer for Queen Ceresera."

Please be patient, but the Queen cannot be patient.

Therefore, the queen who possessed the Holy Grail replaced both the Holy Grail and herself.

The Holy Grail cannot bring back Moen, but it can fulfill the Queen's sacrifice.

"That's why I was able to maintain the Twilight Kingdom, which you and she both cared about so much, and easily send Sirius and your sword there."

"The price for using the Holy Grail has already been paid."

Because of love, the Queen paid everything for the Holy Grail for Morne.

That concluded her story.

Instead, she waited quietly in place. The Queen's wish was for her to accompany Moen as 'her'.

Therefore, she will fulfill the Queen's wish.

However, an error occurred once again.

Moen has already discovered that she is not the queen.

This discovery made her touch her heart once again.

It's a completely new feeling.

Is this feeling a mix of fear and anger?

Why should I be afraid? And why should I be angry?

A machine without emotions wouldn't have such a question, but a person who doesn't know what emotions are would be perplexed by it.

After hearing the whole thing, Moen fell into an even deeper silence.

After a long while, he suddenly grabbed her shoulders, made her look into his eyes, and said:

Tell me everything!

Such questioning did not stir any ripples in her calm eyes.

She simply said without any emotional fluctuation:

"this is all."

"No, that's not all. She should know that she has another path. She can replace herself with the Holy Grail, but she should also know that she can walk in the world in a human body, just like the Holy Tree and the Holy Lance."

"So why did you show up? Why did she bet I wouldn't recognize her?"

To this, she, with Moen gripping her shoulders, gave only a cold response:

"Because the Queen couldn't afford that price, this is all she could pay and the best result she could get."

As she raised her hands forward, the golden Holy Grail appeared out of thin air in her palms.

The luxurious and exquisite Holy Grail remained unchanged, just as it had been when he first saw it.

Nothing changed with the built-in replacement.

It remains merely a tool used to achieve miracles.

"Queen Seresera did indeed make herself the Holy Grail, but she could not be like the Holy Tree and the Holy Lance, because such miracles came from the primordial and from the combined power of the eldest sons."

“This is something you absolutely cannot accept, so she needs me to take her place.”

He summoned back the gods, and then replaced himself with the Holy Grail.

Each wish is more extravagant than the last.

The cost required is naturally becoming increasingly terrifying.

Given this, it is quite reasonable that the queen, having lost her divine authority, could only achieve this result.

But this did not convince Moen.

Moen looked at her very seriously and said:

"No, she still hasn't paid for something extremely valuable, and that's the sword!"

“I told her what was hidden in that sword. The greatsword made from the remains of a god might be nothing compared to the Holy Grail, but the fire that destroys the world will not!”

She shook her head and said:

“That’s your sword, and she doesn’t want to touch it.”

Upon hearing this, Moen looked at her with an extremely terrifying expression and said:

"She's my wife, she knows better than I do that that sword is no match for her!"

In his rage, Moen roared at the Holy Grail before him:

"Tell me the truth, or I'll show you what you've messed with! Believe me, there's nothing more terrifying in this world!"

"You should know I wasn't lying!"

That anger and terror was beyond words.

She knew it was absolutely true, because he was the only miracle the Holy Grail could not touch.
