[ Irisviel is silent for a minute, before nodding her head and beginning to explain.]
Your father and I were in negotiations to form alliance to deal with Rider and Berserker. While we did not form an alliance, he consented to a truce until the defeat of those Servants upon my conditions.
[ She felt proud of herself as she thought she was finally able to protect Kiritsugu, but at the same time, she knew that these events would mark the end of her life. ]
One of those conditions was Kirei Kotomine leaving Japan and having no further involvement with the Holy Grail War. Tokiomi consented. Kirei Kotomine would leave the country. However...
[ Irisviel looks down, looking at her hands with a downcast expression. She sighs with all the heaviness in the world and in that moment, she felt more like the Vessel for the Grail than Irisviel von Einzbern. But for Rin Tohsaka's sake, she continued. She looked the girl straight in the eye. ]
I was kidnapped by Kirei Kotomine, who had been manipulating Berserker and his master, Kariya Matou.
[ She hated that room that he had brought her to in Fuyuki City Hall. She hated Kirei Kotomine more than she had hated anyone in her entire life. ]
He was obsessed with my husband. He asked me what my husband would wish from the Grail if he were the victor.
[ Irisviel's voice becomes more uncertain, wavering despite her best efforts. ]
The answer displeased him... so he considered it fit to kill me...
[ She wasn't sure what had happened after that, for it was all dreams of black ichor and homunculus failures in that space that was her merging with the Grail. ]
I do not know what happened to your father. But I believe something happened between him and that priest before I was kidnapped.
