"You're such an interesting fellow, not to mention being called the Emperor of the Dao, you're a great guy fighting the Heroic Spirit just by being the Master! If it's not impossible, I'd love to take you under my command!" Rider laughed.

"Get out of the way, let's honestly tease your princess~"

"Princess?"

"No~ nothing, when I didn't say ......"

Karn and Rider were arguing like very good friends, and Archer drank as a matter of course, without any objections.

But at this time, there was another person, although he participated in the banquet, he still did not show a smile.

Saber, who attended the party, couldn't find room to interject in the conversation between Archer and Rider and his master. The way of kingship that these three people talked about was so far from what she believed in that she couldn't talk to them at all.

Just follow your own will -

This is not what the king should think. In Saber's opinion, Archer and Rider were nothing more than tyrants, and Karn was not even a king.

No matter how strong the other party is, Saber is burning with unyielding fighting spirit in his heart.

Only these two are opponents who can't lose. The Holy Grail must not be given to them. Archer's words don't make sense at all, and Rider's wish can only be seen as a warrior's wish. And that was only the beginning of all human desires. Compared to their wishes, Saber's wishes cannot but be said to be more noble than theirs.

"Hey, I said Saber, tell me your wishes too. Rider finally turned to Saber.

Archer's gaze turned to Saber as well.

Karn, on the other hand, quietly bowed his head and drank his wine, as if he had not heard anything.

Saber looked up at the two Heroes and said, "I want to save my hometown...... Change the fate of Britain's demise. ”

““……””

After Saber resolutely finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a long time.

The first to wonder in silence was Saber himself.

Even if her words are full of momentum, the other party is not a person who will bow his head easily. Even if it was unexpected, it was a very easy thing to understand.

Clear and clear, there is nothing strange about it, this is her way of kingship. Whether it's praise or rebuttal, someone should bring it up right away. But—no one spoke.

"I say, Knight King, I can't be misheard. ”

Rider finally broke the silence, and for some reason, his face was full of doubt. "You mean to 'change fate'? that is, to turn history upside down?"

"Exactly! Even if it is something that can only be achieved by a miracle, if the Holy Grail is really omnipotent, it will definitely be able to ......"

"Shh......h

An annoyed Saber was about to speak.

"Hey, the Knight King...... You...... Do you want to deny the history you've made?" said Rider, with a look of displeasure.

"That's right, what's so surprising, what's so funny? I'm sad that the country for which I gave my sword and my life has perished, what's so funny about that?!!" Saber's face was full of anger, her most cherished thing actually caused Archer to sneer, and her will to save her homeland was questioned by Rider, and the only one among the kings present who didn't express any opinion was her own master, who didn't take his royal way seriously.

Answer her ...... It's another burst of laughter from Archer. "Hey, did you hear me, Rider! the little girl who called herself the Knight King...... What do you say, 'dedicate yourself to the country'!"

Archer replied to Rider's deepening silence. For Saber, this is the same insult as being ridiculed.

"What's so funny about this?!!! as a king, you should naturally stand up and work for the prosperity of your country!"

"You're wrong. Rider firmly and solemnly dismissed her words. "It is not the king who gives himself, but the state and the people who give everything they have to the king. Make no mistake about that. ”

"What are you talking about?!!" Saber couldn't hold back her anger any longer, she cried out, "Isn't that a tyrant?!"

"Indeed...... But because we are tyrants, we are heroes. Rider replied calmly, not even moving an eyebrow. "But Ah Saber, if the king is not satisfied with the results of his governance, it only means that he is a dumb king, worse than a tyrant!" Unlike Archer, who constantly mocks Saber, Rider denies her at all.

Saber furrowed his eyebrows and retorted in a sharp tone, "Iskander, you...... Aren't you also the heir who was killed, and the empire you created was finally split into four parts, are you really not a little unwilling to such a result?"

"I don't want to. The King of Conquest replied at once, his chest held high, and he looked directly into the stern gaze of the Knight King. "If my decisions and the way of life of my courtiers who follow me lead to this result, then destruction is inevitable. You can mourn, you can shed tears, but you must not regret it! Let alone overturn this history! Such a foolish act is an insult to those who founded the era with this king!"

In response to Rider's proud words, Saber denied:

"Only a warrior can sing the praises of perdition. If you can't protect the weak...... What's the use?! Correct rule, correct governance, this is what a king should do!"

"So...... As a king, you ...... Is it also the 'right' slave?"

"If you want to say that, you can do it, dedication to ideals is the king. Without a hint of doubt, the young Knight King nodded.

Rider picks up the wine glass. "That way of life...... Not human at all. ”

"As a king, you can't expect the way of life of ordinary people. ”

In order to become a perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of ideals, she gave up her body and threw away her personal feelings.

The life of a young girl named Artoria changed forever the moment she pulled the sword out of the rock. Since then, she has become synonymous with undefeated legends, hymns, and dreams.

There have been pains, there have been troubles, but there is the glory of victory. Her unchanging belief still supports her sword-holding arm.

"King of Conquest, a man like you who cares only about yourself will not understand my faith. You're just a bully who gets carried away by lust!" Saber snapped.

Rider's eyes immediately widened as he was scolded. "A king without desire is better than an ornament!! Rider's angry shout, combined with his massive body, makes him even more terrifying.

"Saber, you just said 'dedicate yourself to your ideals,' right? Indeed...... In the past, you were an incorruptible and white and flawless saint......, right? Who would dream of sacrificing that thorny path for the sake of ideals? Who would think day and night about the so-called saints? They can only comfort the people, but they cannot guide them. Only by showing desire and eulogizing the ultimate glory can we lead the country and the people to the right path. ”

Rider drank the wine in his hand.

"The so-called king must have stronger desires than anyone else, be more fierce than anyone else, and be more irritable than anyone else. He should be a ...... that contains both good and evil A human being more real than anyone else. Therefore...... The subjects will be impressed by the king, envious of the king, and attracted by the king. The people will say, 'I want to be king, too!'"

Perhaps the banner of justice and ideals you hold high can save the country and the people. But ah...... You don't know what happened to those who were saved. ”

"You say...... What?" The sight of the blood-stained hills came to Saber's mind again.

"You're just trying to save your subjects, but you're not guiding them. He never declared the 'king's desire', abandoning the lost courtiers, and indulging in his own small and beautiful ideals. So you're an unqualified king, not for yourself, but for others, you're just a little girl bound by the image of 'king'!"

"I ......"

There are many things I want to refute, but every time I want to speak, the sight of the hill of the sword fence comes to mind.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

There lay her courtiers, her friends, and her relatives.

A dangerous thought took over Saber's mind.

If you don't protect Britain as a savior. but as an overlord ravaged the words of the British......

Troubled times will only become more chaotic because of the scourge of war. First of all, this is not the path of kingship she pursues. And no matter what angle she stands, she named Artoria will not choose this option.

But if he did do that, which would be more tragic than the Battle of the Sword Fence......

Subconsciously...... Saber looked at his master.

She was surprised why she had behaved like this, but ......

"What are you thinking? Saber? Are you thinking about subverting your own royal ways?"

Karn's words rang through Saber's mind like a morning bell and a dusk drum.

- Am I thinking about such a ridiculous thing?

That's when ......

A biting chill spread through the air.

The murderous aura that condenses on the skin like dew drops is terrifying.

Strange white objects emerged from the moonlit courtyard. One after the other, in the darkness of ominous magic, pale faces appeared in the atrium like flowers blooming. The pale was the color of cold, dry bones.

With skull masks and black robes, the kings' feast was gradually surrounded by this strange group.

Assassin……

It's not just one person, it's an unusually large number. They all wore masks and black robes, and their physiques were different. There are giant men, there are emaciated types, there are short childlike people, and there are women's figures.

Dozens of heroic spirits surrounded this courtyard.

The piercing murderous intent of the Assassins enveloped the courtyard......

"Woo......" Illya and Sakura, awakened by the discomfort enveloped by this biting, incomprehensible killing intent, let out a wail.

At this time......

The sound of the vessel breaking came ....... Then......

“““！”””

The people present, except for Alice Phil and Little Q, Illya and Sakura, who have been awakened by the murderous intent...... The others all felt a sense of depression that was several times stronger than the killing intent of the Assassin.

The chill in the air was dispelled, and Illya and Sakura breathed a sigh of relief as they were held in Alice Phil's arms.

And for others, what they feel...... It's like you're being pressed down on your body by a boulder.

With an angry, furious aura swept through the courtyard.

Kahn!

The crystal wine glass in his hand was crushed in anger.

"Hey, Rider shouldn't have invited you, did hey?" Karn, who had been very playful all along, showed a ghost-like expression, and his astonishing killing intent and coercion spread. "Inexplicably intruded into my territory and ruined Rider's feast...... Even more unforgivable is ......"

The Assassins were overwhelmed by the pressure that was even more terrifying than the chill of the Heroic Spirit's sword, and they all broke out in a cold sweat, as if they were being choked by a large hand.

"How dare you...... How dare you ...... woke up such a cute sleeping Lori...... You ......" (what's wrong?)

Karn looked up, his golden pupils glinting with a blood-clotting chill in the night.

The coercion of the creatures at the top of the biological chain silenced everyone.

"Sin deserves death!!
