What is the saddest thing in the world in this world?

When you finally brushed up the other party's favorability, she said that she was going to destroy you. What a sad story.

Artoria's meaning seems to others to be similar to what she said above.

To change the fate of Britain's demise, the rebellious knight Mordred is a hurdle that has to be boasted of. It is quite possible that Artoria's desire is to eliminate Mordred's existence at all. This is simply unacceptable to Mordred.

Imagine your dad telling you he's going back in time to shoot you on a wall as a tadpole. How confused you must have been.

"Bang!" Mordred's glass fell to the ground. Father, won't your conscience hurt? 】

Everyone present was shocked by Artoria's words, and then looked at Artoria and Mordred with gossipy eyes. Everyone wondered what else could come out of Artoria's mouth.

The boat of friendship is overturned, so there is no hair at all to play together.

After Artoria resolutely finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a long time. But she still couldn't figure out what she was wrong from the strange looks of everyone.

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 straightforward, nothing strange about it. This is her way of kingship. Whether it's praise or rebuttal, someone should bring it up right away. She thought so herself, but no one commented on her royal ways.

"I say, Knight King, it can't be that I heard it wrong." The Emperor finally broke the silence and pointed at Mordred, his face full of confusion as he could have said such a thing.

"You mean to 'change fate'? that is, to turn history upside down? Or even to eliminate 'her'? "As long as you are not a fool, you should understand what the emperor means.

"I'm not trying to destroy Mordred!" Artoria hurriedly defended: "It is not to eradicate Mordred as a means to achieve the goal, the Holy Grail must have a way to do it." Artoria still has fantasies about the so-called universal wishing machine.

"Ah, Saber? I'd like to confirm...... That destruction of England must have been a matter of your time, when you ruled?" The Emperor asked suspiciously.

"Yes! So I can't forgive myself. It's not about Mordred, it's because I'm not good enough to cause this result. Artoria's tone became more determined when she heard this. So I'm very unwilling and want to change that ending! That's why I ended up like that. If only I had experienced Mordred's mood sooner....."

Unexpectedly, someone burst out laughing. It was a vulgar laughter that disregarded any understanding, and this laughter came from the mouth of a golden flash with the air of a local tyrant.

Artoria's face was filled with anger in the face of this great humiliation. Her most cherished thing was ridiculed by Jin Shishi.

"Glitter, what's so funny." As a knight, Mordred rightfully stepped up when Artoria was laughed at.

Not minding Mordred's anger, Kim Flash replied intermittently with a smile:

"Claiming to be a king .... Blessed by all nations.... Such a person would still be 'unwilling'? How can this not make people laugh? What a masterpiece! Saber, you're the best clown! And the puppy, the knight who is disgusted by the king? Ridiculous! ”

Beside Jin Shanshan, who was laughing non-stop, the Emperor also frowned, and looked at Artoria with some displeasure. "Wait, you wait for the Knight King first. Do you want to deny the history you've made?"

"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 the golden glitter.

"Hey, did you hear me, Rider! the little girl who called herself the Knight King...... What do you say, 'dedicate yourself to the country'!"

"Even so, she is my king, the king for whom I can give my life, the king whom I follow!" Mordred interjected at the right time.

Artoria couldn't stand the insult anymore. "I don't know what's funny. As a king, you should naturally stand up. Work for the prosperity of your country!"

"You're wrong." The Emperor resolutely and solemnly rejected 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. If you don't believe me, you can ask the knights around you. ”

"What did you say?!" Artoria couldn't hold back her anger any longer, and she shouted. "Isn't that a tyrant! Rider, Archer, you are making a big mistake to be the king!"

"Indeed, she is also the best king in my heart anyway." Mordred said firmly: "It is undeniable that each of you has your own royal path to adhere to. The way of conquest of the Emperor, the way of the law of golden glitter. But I don't think any of you living in Britain could have done better than your father. There is no doubt about the royal road! War-torn Britain will never need a tyrant! ”

"Even though you say so. Indeed, there is no doubt about the royal way, and I agree with that. I didn't expect you to be able to say such incisive words. The Emperor said in admiration, "But I still want to say something. We are not only tyrants, but heroes! The Emperor replied calmly, without even moving an eyebrow.

"So Saber, if a king is not satisfied with the results of his governance, it only means that he is a dumb king, worse than a tyrant."

Unlike the Golden Sparkle, who constantly mocked Artoria, the Emperor fundamentally denied her. Artoria furrowed her 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. Save the country?"

"I don't want to." The Emperor replied immediately, his chest held out, and he stared directly into the stern gaze of the Knight King. "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 ......" Artoria was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Emperor.

"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!"

Artoria denied the Emperor's words, "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?" The Emperor shrugged his shoulders and laughed. "I don't understand! Does this stuff make any sense? Look at the black knights who participated in the battle on the harbor that day. Looks like a former subordinate of yours, do you think he needs your salvation? It's almost the same to have a grudge against you. ”

"This is the duty of a king!" This time it was Artoria's turn to speak proudly, although the Emperor's mention of Lancelot just now made her a little sad: "Right rule, right order, this is what all subjects expect." Lancelot is the way it is, and I have a part of the reason why it's like this. If we had done it again, all tragedies could have been avoided! ”

"Are you the 'right' slave then?" The Emperor said angrily.

"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, Artoria nodded. Through the king, people were able to learn about law and order. The king should not embody something that will disappear with the death of the king, but something more honorable. ”

Looking at Artoria, who was still resolute, the Emperor 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 the 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!"

Artoria shouted. The reprimanded Emperor immediately widened his eyes. "A king without desire is better than a vase! Isn't the right slave, the knights around you enough to prove you wrong? The Emperor's shouts of rage, combined with his massive body, made him even more terrifying.

"Saber, you just said 'dedicate yourself to your ideals.'" Indeed, you used to be an incorruptible saint, holy to the point that no one else could match. But who wants to expect to be martyred for their ideals? Who would think day and night about the so-called saints, who can only comfort the people, but cannot guide the people. Only by showing desire and eulogizing the ultimate glory can we lead the country and the people to the right path. Isn't it precisely because you don't have human feelings that the Round Table will fall apart and Mordred will start a rebellion? ”

After drinking the wine in the cup, the conqueror king corrected.

"To be a king is to have stronger desires than anyone else, to be more bold than anyone else, and to be more irritable than anyone else. He should be a human being who is pure and turbid, more real than anyone else. Only in this way can the courtiers be convinced by the king, and the people will have such a longing in their hearts, 'It would be nice if I were the king'!"

"Such governance...... So where is the justice?" Artoria asked, her heart already shaken.

"Nope. There is no such thing as justice in the way of kings, so there is no remorse. ”

"......" Artoria was speechless for a moment.

The Emperor smiled and said heartily. "O king who bears the name of a knight; Your righteousness and ideals may have saved the country and the people for a while, so your name will be praised to this day. However, you don't know what happened to those who were saved. ”

"What did you say?!"

Bloodstained Hill of the Sunset. The sight rejuvenated Artoria's mind again.

"You have been trying to 'save' your subjects, but you have never 'guided' them. They don't know what the 'king's desire' is. Thou hast left behind your lost subjects, and thou hast left behind a sacred gesture to revel in thy own petty ideals. So you're not a good king. You just want to be a 'king' for the sake of the people, a little girl who cocoons herself in order to be that kind of idol. ”

"I ......"

There are many words that I want to refute, but every time I open my mouth, the scene I once saw in the sword column will appear in front of me. Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers. There lay her courtiers, her friends, her relatives, and Mordred, who had been stabbed to death with her own hands.

She had learned of the prophecy the moment she drew her sword from the rock. She knew it meant ruin, and she had already come to her senses. But why was she so surprised when she saw this tragic scene with her own eyes, she felt that there was nothing she could do but pray?

Merlin had predicted that it would be almost impossible to subvert it. But she still thought if a miracle could happen......

A dangerous thought took over Artoria'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. Mordred was right when she said, "War-torn Britain doesn't need a tyrant!" "If I did that, the result would be more tragic than the Battle of the Sword Fence.

Inadvertently, Artoria felt the chill pressing, and she felt uncomfortable as she brought reality back from her thoughts.

It was the sight of the golden glitter. From the very beginning, Artoria was handed over to the Emperor. He himself sat on the side and drank leisurely. His crimson eyes. I don't know when I looked at her and Mordred carefully.

He didn't speak, and I couldn't see from his eyes that he had any intentions, but there was a taste of ** in that gaze, like a snake crawling up the body, which made people feel humiliated and unhappy.

“…… Archer, why are you looking at us?"

"Ah, I'm just appreciating your distressed expressions." The golden smile was unexpectedly gentle, but it was incomparably frightening. "I like the expression of a virgin who is scattering flowers on a couch. Why don't you put down the sword in your hand and be my princess? The so-called knight kings also have rebellious knights. ”

"You ......" This is an unforgivable fool. Without hesitation, she smashed the cup to the ground, her face filled with uncontrollable anger. But what changed everyone's faces in the next second was not her anger.

A moment later, Alice Phil and Webb also noticed something strange in the air around them. Although I can't see it, I can feel a very strong killing intent on my skin. Strange white objects emerged from the moonlit atrium. One after the other, pale faces appeared in the atrium like flowers blooming. The pale was the color of cold, dry bones.

Skull mask and black robes. The deserted atrium gradually surrounded by this strange group. Assassin！ Uninvited!
