[center][u]This was the mental message from the network that had brought Sophia's attention in the first place, to her servant and such things. And it was also the end of her chances to help her husband get the Grail. Maybe even to survive at this rate. She wasn't even sure if her husband's servant could stop this threat, or if agitating him more might bode worse for all of them.[/u][/center]

Dietrich was now dead, gone, her hard work into this war vanished in a heartbeat. Well, perhaps not all if things worked out. Maybe, even if it was a small chance. 

The maids had begun to get to work before she had even acted to her command seals. All of the maids sent here from Germany, at least, had been retreated away, sent at their top speeds with the best resources she could use to ensure this to flee beyond the border of Fuyuki and survive until after the war.....unless otherwise contacted by Sophia personally. If she never contacted them or brought them back, then up to 6 months later after this order they would kill themselves as per their standing orders. They even had a personally-connected familiar of hers with them for contacting purposes if she wanted them to come back early. 

The network had really been doing a good job.

And the familiars in the city, they were safe too......right? It was a gamble regardless, and she had stopped all other evacuations beyond that for reasons.

Rebuilding a home, and protection for her and her husband after this war. She wanted that much, to keep those maids for this much and to ensure her new family's survival. Fuyuki was in shambles, the note she had gotten from the Einzbern headquarters in Germany was......heart-dropping to say the very least. But being wanted dead by the Association in regards to both her old and new family was not the largest of her worries right now. Survive, live, continue. They had to survive, herself and Hideyoshi, even as servants wanted them dead and the city had gone to hell. This was hell. And no cup of tea was fixing this, though this primal desire outshone her usual hedonistic tendencies in the end, the light of a [b][u]human[/u][/b] will to live coming through for this....former puppet whose body was still one. 

But Leave the lesser Grail, all of the tens upon tens upon tens of homunculi she had created here. The Guards dogs, even, and her familiar army that was in the forest. All her current resources and such things. Be friendly, seek to appease the enemy servant. It was low, but if it meant survival then this could work out nicely. If not it at least meant she tried, tried to do anything to help them survive at this rate. 

Those red marks on the back of her hand, they almost felt numb to her as she looked at them. It was useless to think of running, that one large contingent of only the imported maids would at least suffice. She had made far more than their numbers here anywho, far more than she had imported. They could be of use, right? At least as tribute, or perhaps sacrifice? Ah. Her hand with the command seals came down to her stomach, however, as she realized the gravity of her position and new light dawned on her. She was going to become pregnant.....to become a real mother. For her and Hideyoshi's future children's sake she had to live as well, right?

So standing at the front doorway, bathrobe still on and a large overcoat thrown over her to cover her more by a remaining created maid, Sophia looked out into the woods. She knew where the enemy servant was. She felt it in her bones at this point, though her network had helped as well

[color=crimson]".....Keep Hideyoshi safe, please. Tell him what we're doing, but....please keep him safe. Don't let him try to fight this, tell him to keep his servant back.....please,[/color] the female Einzbern said, her voice weak, the trembling and trepidation held back as much as she could. It was terrifying, thinking of the situation, but she had to be brave. For her husband, for herself, for the future if she could manage to have one. Her hair was a mess, her skin covered in sweat.....she looked to not be feeling rather well, though not without reason. 

She then took a sip of offered tea, as another maid tapped her shoulder.....ha. 

It was her favorite Japanese blend. How thoughtful....
