Chapter 15: The King of Conquest: "Don't Speak with Your Small Breasts!" ”
"Hahaha, it's hard to understand, isn't it?" Looking at the silent crowd, Rider couldn't help but laugh again.
"Have a body, march to heaven and earth, and carry out my conquest—that is the way of my king. But now I don't have a body, it's not going to work. Nothing can begin without this. I'm not afraid of anything, I just feel like I have to have a body. ”
"Rider, you are really a very interesting person, if you follow the thoughts of those princes and generals in my memory, I am afraid that you will directly make a wish to dominate the world." Shiro, who had been drinking silently since answering Saber's challenge, looked at Rider again, revealing his unsparing appreciation.
"You're really interesting."
Archer seemed to be listening intently to what the two of them were saying, and since that conversation with Rider, he had only been silently drinking. After careful observation, it can be found that he showed a strange expression at this time, which may be a bit far-fetched to describe it as a smile, but compared with his usual laughing expression before, the smile at this time contains a layer of cruelty.
"It's decided...... Rider, I'll kill you with my own hands. ”
"Hehe, I'm still saying that. You should also come to your senses as soon as possible, not only the Holy Grail, but I also plan to loot your treasure trove. You are so careless that the King of Conquest drank such good wine. ”
A gruff smile that was a little harsh in the eyes of Saber, who had attended the banquet but had not shown a smile so far.
Saber, who attended the party, couldn't find a way to interject in the conversation between Archer and Rider. The way of kingship that these two men talked about was so far from what she believed in that she couldn't talk to them at all. Except for Caster, who didn't speak much, but it was also revealed from his words that he was also an out-and-out tyrant!
Just follow your own will......
This is not what the king should think. Saber, who believes in incorruptibility, sees archer, Rider and creator as nothing more than tyrants.
No matter how strong the other party is, Saber is burning with unyielding fighting spirit in his heart.
Only these three are opponents who cannot afford to 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 as for the caster's wishes, it is not clear at all. And that was just the beginning of all the desires and desires of being human. Compared with their desires, the desires of the saber cannot but be said to be nobler than theirs.
"Speaking of which, only the two of us have said our desire to pursue the Holy Grail, Saber and Caster, can you also tell us about your pursuit of the Holy Grail?"
"Caster, tell me about it first, I'm curious about what kind of wishes you have." Rider turned his gaze to the teenager.
"My wish......" The boy pondered slightly, and his mind couldn't help but think of his past peaceful life again, that unusual crossing, that unfathomable person.
"I, I really want to be stronger, for my current self, I feel too weak, and I can't even control my own fate." The memory lasted for a moment, and the boy said slowly.
"Are you weak...... Rider looked at the boy, "it's really hard to imagine that a strong man like you would say such a thing." ”
"-Hey, I said Saber, you can also tell me about your wishes."
Rider finally turned to Saber. At any time, the desire in her heart has never wavered.
My way of kingship is my pride and pride. Still raising his head, the Knight King looked directly at the two Heroic Spirits.
"I want to save my hometown. I want to 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.
Clearly, 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, it can't be that I heard it wrong." The first to break this silence was Rider, the king of conquest, whose original smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a serious face.
"Are you saying that you are going to change your fate, that is to say, to change history?"
"Yes. No matter how difficult a wish may be, it will come true as long as you have the Almighty Holy Grail. ”
Saber asserted proudly. By now, Saber finally knew why the atmosphere was so strange that the scene suddenly cooled down.
"Ah, Saber? I'd like to confirm...... That destruction of Britain must have been a matter of your time, a time of your reign? ”
"Yes! So I can't forgive myself. ”
Saber's tone became more determined when he heard this.
"So I'm very unwilling and want to change that ending! That's why I ended up like that......"
Unexpectedly, someone burst out laughing. It was a vulgar laughter that defied any understanding, and it came from the mouth of the archer, who radiated a golden glow, and the "white creatures" who fell to the ground.
If Archer still cares about the image of the king, the boy is already rolling on the ground with laughter.
In the face of this great humiliation, Saber's face was full of anger. Her most cherished things were ridiculed by Archer and Caster.
“…… Archer, Caster, what's so funny. ”
Not minding Saber's anger, the Golden Hero replied intermittently with a smile:
"Claiming to be the king...... Blessed by all nations...... Such a person would still be 'unwilling'? Ha! How can this not make people laugh? What a masterpiece! Saber, you're the best clown! ”
Beside Archer, who was laughing incessantly, Rider also frowned, and looked at Saber with some displeasure.
"Wait...... Wait, Knight King, do you want to deny the history you have created? ”
Saber, who has never had any doubts about his ideals, will naturally not be asked by him at this moment.
"Exactly. Surprised? Isn't it ridiculous? The country for which I gave my life as a king was destroyed. I mourn, what's wrong? ”
She was answered by another burst of laughter from Archer.
"Hey, did you hear me, Rider! This little girl who calls herself the Knight King...... What do you say'Dedication to the country'! ”
"Haha... Hahahaha, the king who sacrificed his life for the country, what kind of third-rate novel is this, what a three-rate heroism, did you sit in this position by telling Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales to your subordinates? Clams, clams! Girl~ I welcome you to the Great Gong Xism! ”
Rider fell silent in response. This is the same insult to Saber as being ridiculed.
"I don't know what's funny. 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 did you say—"
Saber couldn't hold back her anger any longer, and she shouted.
"—Isn't that a tyrant! Rider, archer, caster, you are the king, you are a big mistake! ”
"Definitely. But we're not just tyrants, we're heroes. ”
Rider replied calmly, not even moving an eyebrow.
"So 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 archers and casters, who constantly mock Saber, Rider denies her at all. Saber furrowed his eyebrows and retorted in a sharp tone:
"Iskander, you...... Isn't there really any resentment that the empire you created was eventually split into four parts? Don't you want to do it all over again and save the country? ”
"I don't want to." Rider didn't even think about it, he gave a direct answer, he held his chest up, and looked directly at the Knight King's stern gaze.
"If my decision, and that of my courtiers, leads to such an outcome, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and I will shed tears, but I will not regret it. ”
"How could it be ......?"
"Not to mention an attempt to turn history upside down! This stupidity is an insult to all the human beings of the era I have constructed! ”
In response to Rider's proud words, Saber denied:
"You say this only based on the glory of the warrior. The people don't think so, what they need is salvation. ”
"You mean they want the king's salvation?"
Rider shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"I don't understand! Does this stuff make any sense? ”
"This is the duty of a king!"
This time it was Saber's turn to speak proudly:
"The right rule, the right order, that's what all subjects expect."
"Are you the 'right' slave then?"
"If you want to say that, you can do that. Only by dedicating oneself to one's ideals is worthy of being a king. ”
Without a hint of doubt, the young Knight King nodded.
"Through the king, people are able to understand law and order. The king should not embody something that will disappear with the death of the king, but something more honorable. ”
Looking at Saber, who was still resolute, Rider on the side shook his head as if he was pitying her.
"It's not a path of survival that people would choose."
"Yes. If you are born as a king, you can't expect to live the life of ordinary people. ”
In order to become a perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of ideals, she is willing to give up her body and throw 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 and hope! ”
