Begin the Holy Grail War with the Sombra Legion

This headband is a prop made by Roland with the magic power of the Shadow Kingdom. It has part of his authority. Simply put, it is a low-profile version of the mask, similar to Tara's mark. The person who holds it can control the The Black Shadow Corps that Roland took the initiative to give.

Anyway, this Matou Sakura's mind has been distorted a lot, as long as her meaning exists for herself, it doesn't matter if she is distorted at all.

For the things he loves, Roland has always held an unimaginable tolerance.

Matou Sakura looked at Roland's outstretched hand, and was stunned for a moment.

She raised her head and looked at Roland in front of her. He only showed half of his face from the shadows, but his blood-colored pupils seemed to be burning.

Ever since she became unable to cry or howl, and even her grandpa commented, "It's such a boring rag doll", Matou Sakura can no longer hear her inner voice. She seems to be separated by a layer of glass. Looking at the outside world, looking at the words and expressions of those people, but I can't make waves in my heart.

Because she is afraid of pain, she escapes, because she can't resist, so she accepts it, and being a well-behaved puppet swallows all the pain by herself. This is Matou Sakura's way of life.

Now, this layer of glass seems to be shattered suddenly. Through Roland's pupils, she seems to clearly see Roland's thoughts at this moment. The other party's words are all true. He needs her ability. This is a bit absurd, yes Roland thought from the bottom of his heart.

Rather than saying it was pity or malice, it was more like a simple transaction.

Matou Sakura needs a place to survive, and Roland needs an ignorant relative who will not betray. This is a contract that is clearly priced, but cannot be broken, and is bound by life.

Roland introduced to Matou Sakura in a serious manner: "In this world, following the pace of fate, people live to pursue their own meaning."

"The meaning of a courtier, the meaning of family, the meaning of wealth, and the meaning of life. Only when you have meaning can you be called a human being. Sakura Matou, you are a meaningless prop."

Roland approached Matou Sakura step by step, and stopped when he could clearly feel the girl's rapid and warm breathing. With his blood-colored eyes shining like jewels, Eyes, fixed on Matou Sakura.

"I won't say anything that makes you pursue yourself, something that sounds illusory. You just need to know that Roland needs Matou Sakura. For me, you are my meaning."

A long time ago, Roland knew that he lacked the empathy of ordinary people, but his understanding of human nature enabled him to handle daily relationships well during the journey.

For the precocious Tohsaka Rin, this kind of persuasion may be just a meaningless speech, because she has everything, and it is not yet time to pursue this concept of nothingness.

But for Matou Sakura, it's completely different. A little girl who can't return to her daily life, has no destination, and can't do anything, what is she most yearning for?

--Needed.

Whether it is a good person or a wicked person, as long as she can attract Matou Sakura when she is most vulnerable and give her a reason to need her, she will ignite everything in herself and swarm towards her like moths to a flame.

Think carefully about Matou Ying's current situation, Matou Zouken is dead, she is no longer a worthy heir, where can she go?

Can she return to the daily life of the Tohsaka family now? Will Tohsaka Tokiomi send her out again?

Doubt trickles away at the slightest crack and eats away at all trust until it's washed away.

Matou Sakura, who has received Matou family's magic education, knows the answer to this matter, she just doesn't want to think about it.

Matou Sakura raised her head in confusion. To her, every word Roland said was full of temptation.

Onimai Tsuji looked at Matou Sakura who was still hesitating,

I feel a little tasted in my heart.

With Roland's personality, he had never been so patient with Goldfinger and the Keeper of Secrets, but he turned out to be just a callous little girl, and he was so gentle!

It's so rare to comfort a child with a gentle tone like coaxing a child!

No, I have never seen Roland like this at all. With the strongest posture, he can't help but pull her to his side, which is the style of this guy.

Could it be that he is not good at dealing with girls?

Oni Wu Tsuji thought to himself, and decided to face Roland next time as a woman to see his reaction.

"Why, can't you make up your mind?"

Matou Sakura's hesitation made Roland smile, "It's okay, I have enough time to wait for your answer, anyway, fate has already been written like this, Matou Sakura belongs to Roland."

"Then, before that, you follow me first, as if your parents asked Matou Kariya to entrust me to take care of you."

Before, he talked honestly and kindly about how he killed Jiantong Zouyan and obtained the great achievements of the Jiantong family, but then he said without hesitation that Jiantong Yanye entrusted him to gain trust.

Such clumsy words that were clearly lying made Matou Sakura whisper in an ethereal voice: "Liar."

"That's right, I'm trying to use sweet words to turn Sakura into mine, so, do you want to trust the parents who sent you here, the dead grandpa, or are you deceived by me?"

The corner of Roland's mouth curled into a slight smile, and he responded skillfully.

Matou Sakura put a small hand on her heart, feeling the constant beating, just standing beside Roland, her troubles seemed to disappear.

The emotions in my heart stopped fluctuating, and my consciousness only followed Roland.

The feeling of being recognized and needed made her cold heart feel extremely warm.

Matou Sakura's eyes were lowered, and her slender eyelashes trembled slightly because of anxiety, like a budding flower bud.

She asked herself silently in her heart.

If, if I can really decide for myself, without being influenced by my parents or other people, her choice is...

Under Roland's gaze, Matou Sakura stretched out that small, boneless hand that could be held with one hand, and placed it in Roland's palm.

And the young girl finally raised her head and stared at Roland, her dead eyes lit up.

She has been able to find a new and the only important person she cherishes. The long-term endurance, pain, and suppressed emotions turned into tears of saying goodbye to the past and welcoming the new life, together with those useless memories.

In Matou Sakura's raised eyes, only Roland was reflected, and then, with her new will, she spoke.

"Lord Roland."

Roland laughed loudly, gently hugged Matou Sakura, and wiped away her tears.

"Yes, this is my good boy."
