Actually, before that, Sola had taken control of Diarmud from Kenneth. That is, the Command Spell was on Sola.
Sola was Kenneth’s fiancée, but because of the Black Spot of Love on Diarmud, she developed feelings for him and then forcibly took Diarmud from Kenneth. At the beginning, Sola was only a magic supply.
But because of the influence of the Black Spot of Love, she wanted to fully possess Diarmud, and then launched a seizure. She took the Command Spell from Kenneth. But because of Diarmud’s adherence to chivalry, he did not completely betray Kenneth.
And Kenneth also forgave Sola, so he simply let Sola be Diarmud’s Master. As for himself, because of the previous battle against the Sea Monster, he got a Command Spell from the supervisor of this Holy Grail War.
However, the most crucial thing is that when Kenneth went to find the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, or rather, when Diarmud and most of the Servants were fighting the Sea Monster, Shirou Emiya actually sent Waver to directly capture Sola.
Thus, this scene came about.
Shirou Emiya’s actions were witnessed by Yuma Emoto, who was standing high up. Gudako didn't notice, she was still focused on the fight between the two knights.
She had interacted with Artoria, so she was still more supportive of Artoria.
But unfortunately, the focus of this war was not here.
“Don't look, come with me!”
“Ah, I haven’t finished watching yet!” Gudako obviously wanted to see this fight reach a conclusion, but she felt that Yuma Emoto must have something to do, so she went with him. Yuma Emoto took Gudako to a more secluded location, where they could see Shirou Emiya’s direction.
At this time, Gudako finally discovered that there was also a battle going on between the Masters on this side.
Soon, Shirou Emiya, armed with a gun and carrying Sola, appeared in front of Kenneth, which shocked Kenneth greatly. At the same time, there was also fear.
However, Shirou Emiya gave Kenneth two choices: either he killed Sola, or Kenneth signed the contract prepared by Shirou Emiya. The content of the contract included withdrawing from this Holy Grail War and using the remaining Command Spells to make Diarmud commit suicide. Of course, this contract also had a condition, which was that Shirou Emiya could not kill the two after the war.
When Gudako saw this scene, she exclaimed that it was insidious.
“How can you do this?”
Yuma Emoto was calm: “Why not, Ritsuka, if you were in this situation, humanity was in imminent danger, but you couldn't defeat the enemy. Only by using underhanded tactics and dirty tricks would you have a chance to defeat the opponent. Then, what would you choose?”
This question directly threw Gudako into a dilemma.
Actually, there was a misdirection here. The options Yuma Emoto gave Gudako were for an enemy that truly couldn't be defeated. But in Shirou Emiya's case, King Arthur was not at all weaker than Diarmud. So, these were different conditions. However, there's also a saying: Shirou Emiya's enemy was the entire magical world. That way, it's closer to the truth.
He knew very well the danger that the magician group posed to humanity. If they got the Holy Grail, then Shirou Emiya’s dream of world peace would never be realized.
Gudako’s dilemma did not affect Shirou Emiya’s actions.
Faced with the safety of his fiancée, Kenneth was also in a dilemma. Although Kenneth was the lord of the Clock Tower, he was ultimately just an academician. In such a cruel war, he never expected that the enemy would use such despicable means.
With no choice, Kenneth could only choose to sign the contract prepared by Shirou Emiya.
“Yuma, this means Lancer loses. But it's good this way, this couple can go back home and get married peacefully!” Gudako felt in her heart that encountering such a despicable enemy, returning home now was not bad.
Yuma Emoto looked at Gudako strangely.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Gudako was puzzled.
“Do you really think they can leave safely?”
“Ah? Is that not the case?”
Yuma Emoto smiled: “Look over there.”
Gudako looked in the direction Yuma Emoto pointed, and sure enough, she saw a sniper lying there: “Ah… but, isn’t it said that they can't be killed?”
“The contract should only say that he himself cannot kill the two, not that no one else can!”
This loophole in the wording was still easy to figure out.
Gudako also realized it immediately, her face full of disbelief: “How could this be!”
This fact was quite a shock to Gudako’s worldview. Before entering Chaldea, Gudako was just an ordinary girl. She hadn't been exposed to such inhumane things in the magical world, let alone such despicable acts.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have let Kenneth and Sola leave, but Shirou Emiya was different. He truly felt that the existence of the magician group was an obstacle to the justice in his heart, so he would kill them.
After realizing such despicable behavior, Gudako's first reaction was to expose them.
But unfortunately, it was too late. Kenneth had already signed his name, and then Diarmud’s state completely went wrong. In the fight with Artoria, he suddenly launched a reverse assassination, directly stabbing the spear in his hand into his own chest.
This scene undoubtedly shocked Artoria greatly.
However, she understood the situation soon after. Because at this moment, her true Master, Shirou Emiya, walked out with Lancer’s Master, Kenneth. And Shirou Emiya’s assault rifle was pointed at the other side. Clearly, this was the work of her Master.
Understanding this, Artoria felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, which was a manifestation of a conflict with her own Master’s worldview.
