Sola-Ui, walking behind Illyasviel, her eyes filled with a touch of envy, watched the silver-haired woman's graceful movements, her gentle smile, the very picture of a gracious noblewoman.
How could she, Sola-Ui, a product of a strict, pragmatic upbringing, ever compare to Illyasviel's innocent, childlike charm?
With just a few simple social cues, Illyasviel had embraced her as a confidante, revealing everything but the most sensitive secrets.
And it was precisely because she knew Illyasviel's story that Sola-Ui envied her. Despite being a political tool, a pawn in her family's games, Illyasviel had found a loving husband, adorable children, and a carefree life.
They were both victims of arranged marriages, sacrifices to their families' ambitions, yet their fates were so different.
Despite her inner turmoil, Sola-Ui maintained a cheerful facade, chatting amiably with Illyasviel.
"Oh, we're here already." Illyasviel, noticing the dining room doors, stopped, her hand covering her mouth in surprise.
"Let's have some breakfast, Sola-Ui. Afterward, I'll have Haru arrange for your return to London. Being dragged into this war because of your—fiancé—must have your family worried."
Sola-Ui, having concealed her role in supporting Diarmuid with her magical energy, was seen by Illyasviel as an innocent bystander, caught in the crossfire of the Holy Grail War. Naturally, Illyasviel wanted to send her friend away from the impending conflict.
