Chapter 103 - 103: War Invitation
"Eek~"Intimidated by this killing intent, Waver stumbled and fell onto his backside.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
"I apologize for my kid's rudeness."
Iskandar pretty much had an idea of Rin's identity.
He didn't know who Rin was.
But one thing he could be sure of.
That was that Rin was definitely not King Solomon.
"Are you disappointed?"
Rin did not directly state his origin, but his denial of being King Solomon had already been clearly conveyed to Iskandar.
"No!"
Iskandar lowered his head, a hearty smile appearing on his face. "Rather, that kind of thing doesn't matter at all!"
Whether he was King Solomon or not did not affect his judgment of Rin.
The other party was a King.
This was beyond doubt.
Subjects loyal unto death, soldiers willing to shed their blood and sacrifice their lives for him.
A person who possesses these, as long as he claims to be a King, then he is a true King.
"Tonight, I plan to hold a banquet of kings for a Holy Grail discussion!"
Iskandar: "Here, in the name of Conqueror King Iskandar, I officially invite you, unknown King, please be sure to attend!"

One day later, many facilities within the castle had not yet been repaired.
Under the silent dark night, the scars of fierce battles left everywhere were still shocking to behold.
Irisviel sighed, trying hard not to mind, as she walked through this dilapidated corridor, almost a ruin.
"Kiritsugu..."
And just as Irisviel was worrying about her husband's future, a deafening rumble shattered the night's silence.
"Ah!!"
Not only that, Irisviel's magic circuits were subjected to intense pressure, almost causing her to faint in the corridor.
The rumbling sound came from thunder not far away.
The feedback that accompanied the thunder indicated that the barrier in the forest outside the castle had been broken.
And it wasn't just a matter of breaking through the barrier, this feedback, as literally described, was caused by the complete dismantling of the barrier spell itself.
"They actually intend to break through head-on?"
Irisviel felt incredibly frustrated, as if anyone could freely enter and exit Einzbern's castle at will, time and time again.
"Are you alright, Irisviel?"
Suddenly, a slender yet strong hand supported the swaying Irisviel.
Artoria, upon sensing the anomaly, immediately transformed into a gust of wind and rushed to her side at the first instant.
"I'm fine, it's just a bit unexpected."
Irisviel had recovered her breath, but she was still filled with vigilance and anger towards the intruder's recklessness. "I didn't expect to welcome such a rude guest."
