Don was the son of Ua Duibhne of the Fiona Knights and was naturally a member of the order. However, he was banished for arguing with other members of the order, so Diarmuid was taken away and raised by the god of love, Angus.

This is a general overview of Diarmuid's interpersonal relationships.

Diarmuid's mother had a second son with Lochte'o Cain, the steward of the god of love, who was Diarmuid's half-brother.

So Locke took his son to Don and asked him to adopt his son just as Angus had adopted Diarmuid. However, he was met with ridicule and refused on the grounds that he would not allow a commoner's son into his home.

At this point in the story, we can roughly get a general idea of ​​what kind of person Brush's father, Don, was.

He was not a good person to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't have been exiled, and he was very harsh towards Locke.

His harshness is understandable; after all, being cheated on and then forced to become a father is something no man could accept.

However, it is absolutely true that Dong En has character flaws.

Since Locke asked Don to adopt his son and was refused by the latter for that… reason, it shows that even though Don was exiled by the Knights, his social status was still higher than that of a commoner.

He could have easily taken care of his wife and son himself, but the fact that they were taken away and raised by the god of love, Angus, already shows that he was irresponsible as the head of the family. So it's normal that his wife fell in love with someone else. The key point is that Locke did not treat Diarmuid any badly.

So far, none of these people have been officially linked to Finn.

However, something that led to their connection soon happened when the Fiona Knights, at Don's suggestion, arrived at Angus's residence, Brunabon.

Diarmuid was greatly favored by Angus, and the local people treated him very well. Similarly, Locke's son received similar treatment, and was loved by the people even though he did not have Angus's status as his adopted son.

This displeased Dong En.

Why should I like my son? It's only right that he likes me; he's Angus's adopted son.

Why is the son of a commoner butler also liked? At this moment, Finn's two dogs started fighting over a piece of meat. Taking advantage of the chaos, Donn secretly killed Locke's son and threw him into the dogs' paws to escape punishment and frame him.

Unaware of the situation, Locke wailed in anguish, demanding compensation from Finn. The innocent Finn, in turn, very politely stated that if it was indeed the work of his hound, he would compensate the other party until they were satisfied.

At this point, Finn used the chessboard and the golden basin filled with water to recall the truth. Even after learning what Don had done, he still intended to keep it a secret and make his own judgment, which can be considered as loyalty and righteousness.

Locke remained dissatisfied and forced Finn to reveal the real culprit.

Upon learning the truth, Locke was consumed by hatred and planned to kill Diarmuid in retaliation. Had Finn not intervened, Diarmuid would have been dead.

After learning the whole story, Angus was also furious; he threatened to smash Don's head if they didn't stop him.

It could be said that Diarmuid and his son were born with two lives.

After being persuaded, Locke used a druid's staff to transform his son into a boar without mane, ears, or a tail, intending for his son to be his future brother. However, he said, "I grant you this restriction: You will lead Diarmuid, grandson of Ua Duibhne, to the path of death, and your own life will not be longer than his."

Instead of killing Diarmuid on the spot, he allowed Diarmuid to live until he became famous throughout the world. He also decided to place the restriction with the attitude of exchanging one life for another. He did not say that killing Diarmuid would restore his son or allow him to continue living.

For Locke, a father, to go to such lengths was not solely due to the god of love, Angus; could one say that giving Finn face wasn't also an factor?

Because they felt indebted to him, both Angus and Finn tacitly approved of this behavior.

Many people believe that Diarmuid's final death was caused by Finn's actions, but in reality, Diarmuid's death was already established in his childhood, witnessed by two powerful figures.

However, Finn chose to give up when he finally had the ability to save Diarmuid, and then Finn was ridiculously despised and scorned by all the knights.

Why should Finn save the brothers? It wasn't Diarmuid who killed them, but their fate was already sealed. Finn merely gave them a push and stood by and watched them die.

Moreover, Diarmuid knew that the Boar was his brother. Even if the son had to pay for the father's debts, he still owed his brother something, but he showed no mercy in his attack.

Now let's talk about Finn.

Finn's beauty is well-known; if it weren't for Diarmuid's beauty mark, he would actually be less handsome than Finn.

Princess Granny initially agreed to the marriage not only for political reasons but also because she felt that marrying Finn was a good deal. However, she secretly regretted it after discovering that the aging Finn had lost his beauty, and thus she turned her attention to Diarmuid.

If Finn hadn't been renowned for his good looks from the start, his age probably wouldn't have convinced Granny to agree to the marriage in the first place, and naturally, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

After Granny expressed her feelings for Diarmuid, even before the ban was placed on him, this supposedly loyal player was already "both surprised and delighted."

"Inner struggle"

His first reaction wasn't to decisively refuse! The whitewashing he was coerced into by Granny was completely unfounded; he had been wavering from the very beginning.

Otherwise, the prohibition cannot be refused, but that doesn't mean suicide is forbidden. If you're truly that loyal, you can commit suicide to prove your loyalty, since you and your son both owe Finn your lives anyway.

For Finn, or rather for any man, refusing an arranged marriage from the start is nothing unusual, but agreeing to an arranged marriage and then eloping on the wedding day is a disgrace.

Was Finn wrong to hate Diarmuid? During the pursuit, the members of the Knights of Favonius openly and secretly helped Diarmuid, as if they weren't the ones who initially proposed the marriage.

It's understandable that Finn's son and grandson wouldn't want another young stepmother and grandmother, but let's not forget that they were the ones who proposed the marriage in the first place. What's the point of turning against them and supporting Diarmuid's elopement now?

Without their suggestion, there might not have been the humiliation of the fiancée eloping after their wedding; in fact, they became accomplices in this disgrace.

Whether these subordinates were plotting against Finn from the beginning, or whether Diarmuid's status as chief knight had unknowingly surpassed Finn's, either way, Diarmuid's actions were utterly despicable for a leader.

Was Finn wrong to hate Diarmuid? During the pursuit in August 823, even Finn's wet nurse was killed by Diarmuid.

Was it wrong for Finn to hate Diarmuid? He tacitly allowed the Boar to seek revenge on Diarmuid, even to the point of mutual destruction. Was it because you, Angus, wanted everything to end now that things were about to happen, and that Finn and Diarmuid could shake hands and make peace? So, the humiliation wasn't yours to bear?

Back then, Diarmuid and another child held roughly the same place in Angus's heart, but after many years, death eventually extinguished all feelings, and naturally, Angus's affection for his adopted son Diarmuid faded.

So you want to stop what you agreed to back then? Is that how you handle things?

Finn hated Diarmuid, which was wrong. When Diarmuid was dying, he begged Finn to save him, saying that the princess had forced him to do it under a spell.

So who struggled and hesitated before the restriction was placed, and who confessed their love during the escape, claiming they dared not reveal their feelings because of their lord?

Do you really think Finn is a fool just because he's old? The wisdom derived from salmon doesn't change with age.

How could Finn not hate Diarmuid's hypocrisy? In the end, he was even forced and threatened by his subordinates and grandson to save this thing. The man who defeated gods and even the god-ancestor, the God of War, and accomplished the great feat of killing gods, was made to look extremely humiliated and without dignity by his subordinates. It all stemmed from Diarmuid.

In this situation, why shouldn't Finn hate Diarmuid? And why shouldn't he stand by and watch him die?

It cannot be said that Diarmuid lacked loyalty; rather, it can be said that Diarmuid was not as loyal as he appeared.

Getting back to the point, this isn't the first or second time that foreign mythology has presented flawed values. Finn, a hero who is intelligent, brave, loyal, and slightly narcissistic, has inexplicably been portrayed as a dark and villainous character.

This is similar to the saying "King Arthur didn't understand human nature."

Equally absurd and illogical, if the aging Finn still had the strength to challenge the gods, let alone those traitorous underlings, even a mere god of love like Angus would be nothing in front of Finn.

Chapter 445 Kenneth's True Character 2/3

What is that wish?

After saying that, Finn also looked forward to Aizen's answer with curiosity.

If the answer meets his requirements, he wouldn't mind giving up his right to make a wish.

With both strength and wisdom, Finn felt confident that he could easily win the Holy Grail War, a mere seven-person, seven-player conflict. While relatively relaxed, Finn was more concerned about his Master's situation compared to the other Servants.

"Victory will simply add another achievement to my resume, both in civil and military affairs."

Aizen glanced at Sora, but didn't reveal Kenneth's main purpose, his expression arrogant: "The Holy Grail, a mere product of magical energy, even with its reputation as an omnipotent wish-granting machine, is beyond my ability to fulfill my wishes without external assistance."

"Wow, that's really interesting."

Finn, his smile growing wider, looked thoughtfully at Aizen, without doubting the truthfulness of his words.

Even without using his Noble Phantasm, he could tell the truth in those words.

That's just how it is.

Neither Kenneth nor Aizen had any wishes that required the Holy Grail to fulfill. The former genuinely looked down on the Holy Grail, while the latter knew the truth about it and understood that it wasn't actually that useful.

Speaking of this, Aizen also had to complain about Kenneth.

With Kenneth's mentality, it's no wonder he died in the Holy Grail War.

Tokiomi, Kiritsugu, and Kariya were so determined in their ideals and goals that they were willing to risk their lives.

Ryunosuke Uryu and Kirei Kotomine are not normal people, and Waver also has enough conviction to participate in this war. Only Kenneth viewed the Holy Grail War as "an insignificant achievement" from the beginning.

It's perfectly normal to lose if you have a bad hand and hold onto that mindset.

However, Finn now seems to agree with Aizen's idea.

He could see Kenneth's excellence as a Master; as long as he didn't hold them back, and with him being the greatest knight and leader of the Fiona Knights, wasn't victory already assured? "Since you don't have any particular wishes, would you mind if I summoned another Heroic Spirit?"

Aizen suddenly spoke.

"Um"

Finn narrowed his eyes, not angry at all: "Do you think having me isn't enough? No, I'm not bragging, but even if I were to count all the Heroic Spirits in the entire Valhalla, there might be quite a few that I can take seriously, but I probably can't find many that I can't defeat at all."

In other words, you already know that there might be some troublesome guys in this Holy Grail War.

Indeed, clever.

Aizen silently praised him.

At this moment, Aizen realized that Finn and he himself might actually be quite a good match.

Finn undoubtedly possessed the strongest power and intelligence in his time, which is similar to Aizen's situation.

Moreover, like Aizen, he was not a true king, but they were both leaders of special groups, and both eventually fell from their pedestals for special reasons.

The biggest difference between the two is that Aizen can be patient, but he is fundamentally unwilling to be second to anyone, while Finn is willing to serve others, whether it is a king or a Master.

This was also something that pleased Aizen.

Strictly speaking, Finn could be considered an unconventional feudal lord, but compared to the Conqueror King and the Hero King, who were clearly impossible to subdue, Finn was someone who could be won over.

"That's right. Although I think our combination is unlikely to lose, several of our opponents this time are not simple."

I am full of confidence, and I will not allow any unexpected events to affect my victory. The Einzbern family found King Arthur's sword sheath, the Tohsaka family obtained the serpent molt related to that ancient king, and the Matou family, though less successful, still obtained the relics of the Knights of the Round Table.

Even though my incompetent disciple is far from being a magician, that... relic concerning Alexander the Great is enough to make him somewhat competitive.”

Aizen's confident words contained both reason and arrogance.

Finn was immediately impressed by this attitude; this kind of personality was right up his alley.

Moreover, the information about some Heroic Spirits made Finn slightly more alert. The Holy Grail War, which wasn't a complete rout, was still quite challenging for him, and even though he believed he was no weaker than anyone else, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

While the two of them were having a pleasant conversation, Sora, who had been listening quietly the whole time, couldn't sit still any longer.

This elegant young lady stared wide-eyed at "Kenneth" in disbelief.

"You, you're trying to break the rules to summon someone? With your personality, you're actually willing to abandon your pride and do something so despicable that violates the rules for a mere Holy Grail War."

This seemed very illogical to her, as Kenneth's reputation was extremely important to him.

Therefore, Sora still doesn't really understand Kenneth.

Aizen thought to himself.

In the original story, Kenneth's magic circuits were destroyed by the Origin Bullet, and Sora took away his Command Seals. However, after the Great Sea Demon incident, he immediately used them as a reward after receiving the Command Seals.

Kill Kotomine Risei.

At that time, Kenneth, who didn't know that Kotomine Ryou was the side guard, killed the Overseer without hesitation just to increase his chances of winning, which shows that he is not a person who follows the rules.

Otherwise, Aizen wouldn't have done something so out of character just for the sake of the mission.

These attitudes actually reflected Kenneth's true mindset; it's just that Sora never truly understood Kenneth. Kenneth's defeat was due to a flawed mindset in participating in the war and underestimating Kiritsugu Emiya. But a true prodigy would never be a pedantic idiot.

"rule"

"Only the strong can set the rules. If I'm strong enough, I can win this Holy Grail War even if it's one against six."

"Don't forget, even if the Holy Grail War involves a small number of people, it's still war."

"There are no rules or regulations in war!"

Aizen's resolute and confident words caused Sora to momentarily lose her composure.

She felt as if she had come to know another side of Kenneth today. Perhaps it was because Kenneth's past attempts to please her had made her prejudiced against this man and her understanding of him very one-sided.

Clap clap clap! Finn clapped lightly, his face showing appreciation; he liked this kind of personality.

There are no rules in war; it's a matter of life or death. If you don't know how to adapt, you'll be the first to die.

Since he himself doesn't particularly crave wishes, he doesn't really care about having another Heroic Spirit.

If someone truly needs the Holy Grail more than him, and he doesn't dislike them, he wouldn't care even if he gave up the Holy Grail he eventually obtained.

"But I'm a little curious, how exactly do you plan to summon it against the rules?"

Finn mentioned it with great interest.
