"Speaking of imps, did Lily tell you about the so-called Fourth Holy Grail War that happened ten years ago in your era?" Glancing at me, Skaha continued.

"She never mentions it unless I ask." I thought for a moment and replied, "And every time I talk about the last Holy Grail War, Artoria's eyes tend to become strange, as if she was running away from something. That's why I rarely ask later. In this way, is it true that there is a heart knot that has not been opened? ”

"Alas...... It's not just a knot, it's a nightmare for Lily. Skaha sighed, "If you want to blame it, this world is too cruel to blame, and even an ordinary girl's dream is not willing to come true." ”

…………

"Senior Skaha, please tell me what happened in the first place, and what does it have to do with the current situation in Britain?" I looked straight at Skaha and asked earnestly.

"The commander of the enemy army that invaded Britain this time was one of Lily's opponents in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and the heroic spirit who came to Fuyuki with the rank of cavalry and participated in the battle, Iskandar, the king of conquest." Skaha said dryly.

"Iskandar...... Could it be Alexander the Great? Shock instantly filled his chest, "I remember that he was not a historical figure in BC, why did he appear in Britain nearly a thousand years later?" ”

"Little ghost, I told you, it's not strange that anything is happening in British land in this era." Skaha just smiled at me, "And by any means, this Heroic Spirit has come to Britain." And it should be a genuine and complete state, not a simple servant. ”

…………

"If it's true, then this level of Heroic Spirit is already in the top category!" I can only smile bitterly.

"Strength itself is not the key." Skaha shook his head and said, "The important thing is that Lily's own will and belief are completely overwhelmed in front of him. ”

"How so? How can Artoria, who fought to protect her land and people, still stand proudly and proudly until the end, even if it is Alexander? "I immediately questioned it.

…………

"Little ghost, didn't I just tell you that there is no difference between a Guardian type king and a Conqueror type king?" Skaha raised his hand and motioned for me to calm down, "Iskandar, as the most prestigious conqueror of the Macedonian Empire, is completely incomprehensible about dedicating himself to his ideals. And Lily, as the guardian of Britain who prays for peace, is completely unable to admit that her aggression and expansion have caused war. ”

"Why bother, everyone's situation is different, and it makes no sense to insist on judging each other from your own standpoint." I couldn't help but interject, "What's more, I am also a heroic spirit, and there is no difference in status and status. ”

"There's no way, these two people are the type who are extremely confident in the path they are taking, and they must not be able to move forward if they don't try their best to refute the general." Skaha shrugged and said helplessly.

…………

Even so, why did Artoria suppress it? If anything, Iskander's final outcome is not much better. After thinking about it, I asked puzzled, "But at the age of thirty, he died violently, his heir was killed, and the Macedonian Empire he established collapsed in an instant." ”

"Oh, Iskander has fully accepted his fate, and he has become a true Heroic Spirit." "And Lily still regrets and laments her powerlessness to save the country completely. That's why she joined the Holy Grail War, didn't she? Hopefully get a second chance. ”

"......" I was silent for a moment.

Moreover, Iskandar always had countless followers around him, and even after his death, he became an immortal king's army. I think that's the most difficult thing about Lily. "She doesn't understand why such an out-and-out tyrant can be embraced by so many people. ”

"There are definitely not a few followers of my king!" Bediwell, who was on the side, suddenly said in a loud voice, "I can guarantee my life in the next place, and every knight at the round table wholeheartedly supports my king until the last moment of his life!" ”

…………

"I can't see it." Skaha just shook his head, "The phrase 'the king does not understand people's hearts' has spread from inside your round table!" ”

"That'...... That's just a misunderstanding on the part of a few people! Bedwell gritted her teeth, "Our Round Table is loyal to the king, and no outsider will be allowed to blaspheme!" ”

"Calm down, Bedwell, that's not what Skaha-senpai meant." I hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Bediwell, and motioned with my eyes for Skaha not to continue.

Skaha spread his hands and lay back in his seat.

…………

"I'm sorry...... Emiya-sama. Under my persuasion, Bedwell's expression quickly calmed down, bowed his head and apologized again and again, "Because my king ...... The subordinates ...... again"

"It's okay, I've already felt your mood completely. I'm really happy for Artoria that she has a dear friend who really thinks about her. I patted Bedwell on the shoulder and smiled.

"No...... No, his subordinates are only a mere knight, how can they be qualified to be kings......" Bedwell suddenly panicked, twisting his body and instinctively resisting my statement.

"Give me all the information about the front." I said directly to Bedwell, "I'll take care of Iskandar's affairs. ”

…………

“……！ Emiya-sama, you ......! Bedwell's eyes widened, and even Skaha, who was watching the show, raised an eyebrow.

"Camelot can't be left without an owner for a day, this is the only way to do it now." I looked into Bedwell's eyes, "Artoria is not in good shape, and I'll take her place in the meantime." ”

"Lord Emiya personally presides over Camelot's affairs, and I don't think there is anything uneasy about my subordinates." With my promise, Bedwell's eyes were slightly relieved, but her pupils still wavered a little, "But how do you plan to deal with Iskander?" That's the man who is known as the greatest military leader! ”

"It's simple, break it from the front!" With a wave of my hand, I said firmly, "Even the most famous conquering kings in history were just ordinary human beings in their lifetimes. There is no need to deify. ”

…………

Yes, so far I finally understand the real reason why Skaha taught me the ability to command the legion.

This time, we must do our best to meet the past!
