Chapter 250: Lancelot, the Twisted King's Chef
At the end of June, six of the seven character novels of "Fate/Zero" had been completed, and Yu Kamiya deliberately put Lancelot's Gaiden novel "The Knight's Tragedy" at the end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The last character gaidan is Lancelot of the Berserker rank, and the tangled plot between the Knight King and the Knight King can be regarded as adding dramatic elements to the feature film, whether "Fate/Zero" can fulfill the last wishes of the two most famous knights of that era."
"Lancelot, speaking of which, it seems that the Gundam piloted by Suzaku in "Lelouch the Rebellious" is also named after that, so this name is really meaningful when you think about it."
"One of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, with the titles of [Knight of the Lake] and [Knight of the Knight], the title of [Knight of the Lake] seems to be because he was abandoned by the lake when he was a baby, raised by the fairy of the lake and given the weapon Aroundight (Lake Light without Regrets), it is a treasure of the same level as Excalibur [Sword of Oath of Victory], there is a restraint attribute, and because of the existence of this treasure Phantasm, Lancelot's combat power is theoretically superior to Saber. I remember that when I didn't find out the background of the story, I often thought that caliburn (sword in stone) was the sword of victory of the oath, and it turned out that the sword of victory of the oath was also a weapon given to King Arthur by the fairy of the lake. ”
"Character stories and endings aside, Lancelot is properly burdened with the protagonist template."
"Whether it is historical legends or "Fate/Zero", Lancelot and Queen Gnavelle had a platonic love, after the love affair was exposed, King Arthur was forced to send Gnavel to be burned at the stake due to domestic pressure, Lancelot came to rob the court and successfully rescued Queen Gnavelle and eloped to France, causing the Knight King to declare war on France and causing Mordred to find a chance to rebel, and the whole country collapsed. Saber's unqualified royal way is also reflected here, she chooses her royal way according to everyone's ideal king, the subjects choose the king instead of the king guiding the subjects, and most importantly, the choice made by the subjects is against her own wishes, but she chooses to accept it silently. ”
"Different from the original legend, Queen Gnavelle fell in love with Lancelot's heroic appearance in a knightly duel before Artoria became King Arthur, and as a political marriage, she learned the identity of an Altorian woman, and the two changed from husband and wife to best friends, so her relationship with Lancelot can be said to be recognized and blessed by King Arthur's heart."
The anime does not mention what happened after King Arthur's death, which was originally said to have killed Mordred with a spear after the Battle of Sword Railing Hill, and he himself suffered a fatal blow from Mordred, and King Arthur's death shattered prosperous England in a very short time. The forgiven queen Gnavel did not wait for King Arthur to return to fulfill her promise [After this war is over, I will make you queen again. 】。 Upon learning of King Arthur's death, Gnavel decided to enter the monastery to become a nun to atone for his crimes, and no matter how much Lancelot pleaded with him, he would not be seen. ”
"Lancelot, who lost everything, spent his life in remorse as a monk, receiving too much honor and remorse, an inexcisable affection for Queen Gnevel, and a complex anger against the king, which led him to be imprisoned forever by madness, which is why he matched the rank of berserker."
Kamiya Yu looked at the computer screen with a deep groan, wanting to type but didn't do it for a long time, recalling the information about Lancelot he found in the consciousness space last night, in addition to the historical record, the background story of the characters in the animation itself, the most revealed by the animated characters is probably the bonus animation "Einzberren Talk Room" of the original "fate/zero". Interviewed by Mrs. Alice Phil von Einzbelen with all the Fate/Zero Heroes, there are funny elements but also complements the characters' personalities, and Lancelot's confession is given in the sixth episode of "The Einzberen Talking Room".

Lancelot turned his face as ashamed as if he were afraid to face anyone, and at the same time began to pour out the real reason for his betrayal of King Arthur: "In spite of this, the king did not punish me once. ”
"Until now, what my king said has been in my heart [Lancelot, you have done nothing wrong, you are the most ideal knight I have ever known, since you are in love with Gnavel, there must be a reason for you]"
Lancelot: "My king's series of words has caused guilt to eat away at me. ”
"I respect the king so much."
"If I can, I hope to be by her side all the time."
"To be honest, it's not Gnevere that I like, it's my ・・・・・・"

Alice Phil's eyes were serious: "His thoughts are the same as Rider, he is sighing for Saber who suppresses his feelings in order to govern the country and become the ideal king in people's hearts." ”
"I don't think that's supposed to be a human being, it's not the life that a girl should live."
Lancelot suppressed his anger and said, "I do feel anger, my king loves his people and even his own country. ”
"She sealed her feelings and life for this."
"However, the king's heart was not conveyed to the knights and the people."
"Before leaving the castle, a knight left a message: "My king does not understand the human heart. 】”
"I didn't go crazy when I heard that."

"Your circle is really messy, the twelve Knights of the Round Table are all kings, and Lancelot and Mordred are probably the two most twisted." Yu Kamiya thought about all the relationships between the characters and had a ridiculous thought in his mind, so how should the Arthurian legend "The Knight's Tragedy" with Lancelot as the main visual be written? This character biography novel is directly related to whether King Arthur's royal way is recognized by others, and it is probably the character biography novel that has the most profound impact on the main novel.
As a revision of the Arthurian legend, Kamiya Yu needs to think about the relationship between Lancelot and Gnevel, and it is indeed said in the background setting that he likes Queen Gnevel, but this statement is contrary to Lancelot's statement in "The Einzberren Talking Room".
"If you speculate, historical legend says that Queen Gnavel had a platonic relationship with Lancelot because she saw King Arthur and her sister Morgan have something indescribable, and after the revision, Gnavel's opportunity to fall in love with Lancelot has always existed, that is, she herself and King Arthur are best friends, and she has always longed for the best knight Lancelot, and the platonic love affair can be understood as Lancelor's unrequited love."
"Hmm~ Lancelot has always longed for King Arthur but doesn't know King Arthur's true gender, he felt puzzled about this and negotiated with Queen Gnavel, in a sense, this is also a match made in heaven, and after a lot of talking, Queen Lancelot knew Lancelot's true heart, so she wanted to secretly date Lancelot to tell King Arthur's true gender, but this time the secret date was caught by other Knights of the Round Table, which led to a tragedy, and Gawain, who is also the Twelve Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur's nephew, was mistakenly killed by Lancelot in the chaos."
"Through a secret tryst with Queen Gnevel, Lancelot learned King Arthur's true gender and heart, but the relationship between him and Queen Gnevelle has been completely misunderstood, he didn't want Queen Gnevelle to be executed because of this, and he didn't want to see King Arthur's remorse in the future, so he went to hurriedly rescue the queen who was burned at the stake, combined with the statement of "Einzbellen's Talking Room", his behavior has always been to redeem King Arthur and defend Queen Gnevel's reputation."
"In this way, it is as if the royal way that the knight king Artoria has always insisted on led to this tragedy."
"With this story as a premise, at least the opposition to Saber in the feature film of "Fate/Zero" doesn't seem so superficial." Kamiya Yu frowned and thought for a long time, combed through the context of King Arthur's story, and felt that this idea was indeed feasible, "Knight Twilight" and "Knight Tragedy" both look at the same story from different angles, but they make up for each other, "Knight Twilight" is about King Arthur's dedication to the country and the royal road, "Knight Twilight" is to make up for this tragic story that has been appearing in poetry, novels, and movies since ancient times, and show readers the mistakes of King Arthur's insistence on the royal road.
Yuu Kamiya, who was sitting at the computer desk, stretched his waist, closed the typing file on the computer desktop and sighed: "I won't use my pen today, and I will go back to the consciousness space at night to sort out my thoughts, whether the novel "Knight Tragedy" is well written or not, not only improves the story of "Knight Twilight", but also explains the royal choice as the core of Saber's character in the feature film of "Fate/Zero". It seems that the content of the novel "Knight's Tragedy" will be expanded a lot, so I will draw the illustrations today. ”
Yu Kamiya painted Gnavel's character as similar to that of Alice Phil von Einzbelen, especially the elegant and mature and childish feeling. (To be continued.) )
