Saber took a deep breath, her expression serious.
"Haru, now that Illyasviel is safe, I wish to conclude my business with Diarmuid."
"Conclude? What do you mean?" Haru asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"I must die by his hand," Saber replied, her voice firm.
"Why, Saber? Why would you want to do that?" Illyasviel asked, her voice laced with concern. Saber's suicidal request was baffling.
"If not for Haru's intervention, I would have died by Diarmuid's hand," Saber explained.
"That's true, but—so what? Isn't it better to be alive?" Haru was even more confused now.
Illyasviel and Kiyohime nodded in agreement. Being saved from certain death—wasn't that a good thing?
"It was a fair fight, a duel between knights. I lost. Death was the expected outcome. I only survived to ensure Illyasviel's safety," Saber said, her voice resolute.
