Artoria's words made Lily a little unsure of what to say, she seemed to have such thoughts in the original, what qualifications did she have to stay by his side after killing Lei Zhe?

"To be honest, I wanted to ask you this question when I saw you and my other self, because I found that the two of you had the same wishes, only I was confused, and my wish was very simple to see him again, and then say sorry and thank you to him, but when I actually saw him last night, I found that I could not say it, because when I saw the smile he showed to others, a voice sounded in my heart, and that voice told me, 'Ah, that's fine, let me watch him quietly, Just like he did to me, and then let me leave quietly and never be in front of him again, that's enough...'"

Artoria said quietly, a black broken sword appeared in her hand, this tarnished broken sword Lily is no stranger, because she also has the same broken sword, this sword is not only his original sword, but also the only thing he left in this world at the beginning...

Looking at the broken sword in her hand, Artoria noticed that her vision had become blurry, perhaps because her eyes were full of tears. There were many words She lowered her head and didn't make a sound and cried silently, she was afraid that the cry would make the other self look down on her, so she bit her lip and her shoulders trembled slightly, even the hand holding the broken sword was trembling slightly, tears slid down her cheeks and fell on the broken sword, Artoria suddenly found herself really weak, and only after Lei Zhe disappeared did she know how much she relied on him in the original

"Maybe it's better to cry..."Lily said as she looked at Artoria, she could understand the other person's feelings, because the two of them had experienced the same thing, and she had also behaved like each other, even more intensely than her...

"No, nothing." Artoria wiped her eyes, then looked up and smiled, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, and there were traces of water around her sockets, and she said to Lily, "For a long time after I pulled out the sword in the stone, I wondered what the relationship between myself and Ray was, like between a student and a teacher?" After all, he used to instruct me a lot of things, like a friend? But he is always hiding something from me, and he never even talks to me about topics outside of work, even if he doesn't even disagree with him because of some things, he always chooses to be silent and stop talking after saying his opinion. It's like that, because he's always standing behind me, always silently guarding himself, always stepping away."

"These questions have bothered me for a long time, and then I suddenly realized that our relationship is not as complicated as I imagined, he is a sword spirit, and I am the master, everything he gives is due, and I am entitled to enjoy the convenience and benefits he brings, since then the distance between me and him has become more distant, although he is still standing by my side but I know, but in the end I didn't say anything but thought that what he paid was necessary..."

Artoria's words were very soft, and Lily listened carefully, didn't the other party's words say about herself? Didn't you look at Lei Zhe with such a mentality in the past?

The master is the master and the servant, and he is the master, and he is the servant, and he should give these things for himself, and he is entitled to receive what he gives

"I used to hate him, even though he was my own sword spirit, but I still hated him, because he kept it from me and made me feel uneasy. At first, there was no one else around him, but I don't know when my knights began to appear around him often to ask all kinds of questions, military, martial arts, magic, and even philosophy and art, no matter who it was, he would patiently answer them one by one to make the other party satisfied, and it was at this time that I was no longer the only one around him, Lancelot, Gawain, Bedwell, and even Kaye and Mordred became very close to him, and he would even take off his helmet in front of others, which I had never gotten, That's when I'm really jealous of other people, I feel like they're snatching Ray away from themselves"...,

"So I became more distant from him than before, but Ray was still there for me to help me without complaint. Until that evening, when I killed him with my own hands," the corners of Artoria's mouth twitched slightly, her expression looked very strange, and all kinds of emotions were entangled in her beautiful face, and then she continued: "Can you tell me your way of governing the country?" ”。

"To rule Britain as a woman... That's what I chose after he left, and after Ray disappeared I kept asking myself whether what I had done was right or wrong, and finally I threw away my ideals and reverted to Artoria to rule the land, and then built an empire until I handed over the throne to Mordred and fought in the Holy Grail War..."Lily said that she was white of the three, representing the perfect and holy light, and she did it, becoming the most perfect king as a woman

"Have you ever regained the feelings you gave up?" Artoria asked.

"Of course, Ray once said that an 'idealized king without feelings' cannot rule his country well, and after he is gone, I do find my feelings, and then guide all the people forward, not just to save... Could it be you? Halfway through Lily's words, she noticed a bitter smile on Artoria's face, and she immediately guessed what the other party was thinking.

"'King Arthur, I don't know the feelings of man,' a knight left the royal city and disappeared with him, along with my queen Gnavel, who you should know? "A lot of words," Artoria asked self-deprecatingly, and Lily nodded, although she had never experienced such a thing, she did know who the other party was, because in Lily's world, in the end, Gnavier and Lancelot came together in her blessing, and finally although they also left the royal city, the two still lived in the land of Britain and became one lord.

"I don't understand human feelings... After the thunder disappeared, I still stubbornly fought for my fantasies, I did save all the people of Britain, but I did not guide them, and gradually my subjects fell into confusion, and my knights began to turn away from me, and then I finally realized how childish and ridiculous what I insisted on, and I had been clinging to this childish ideal for so many years, was I really stupid? ”

Artoria asked with a low chuckle, pointing at herself, her face not looking good, or her smile full of complexity and remorse.

"......" Lily was silent and didn't speak, she could understand the other party's mood now, if she was still sticking to her ideals, maybe the end would be the same as the girl in front of her, right? Not a lot of words

"I was once said to be a naïve little girl by three people, the first was Ray, not long after the two of us met, when I told me about my ideals, he told me that if I insisted like this, my result would only be destruction, not to mention myself, even Britain would be buried by me, I did not understand the meaning of his words at that time, and continued to insist on my own ideas. The second was Mordred, and she said the same thing, and then I gave her the throne and left the royal city in search of the Holy Grail, because I believed that she was better suited to be a king than I was, and as a result she propagated Britain to glory. The third is the conquering king Iskandar, at that reception, he used his royal way to tell me what is the real king, maybe among the three kings at that time, only I was the most useless one, right? "A lot of words," Artoria said, and then she fell silent, as if she was beginning to remember something, and the room became quiet again.

Lily doesn't know what to say, in this Holy Grail battle she met two of herself, whether it is Artoria in front of her or Dark Arthur, they both have different stories from themselves, Arthur should take the path completely opposite to herself, incarnate the Demon King? She did call herself so, ravaging the hegemon of Europe with her sword and boots, but no one knows why she did it, maybe it had something to do with someone who disappeared? Quite a few words...,

"Do you regret it? Because of your ideals, because of what you have done and regret, have you ever thought about winning the Holy Grail to change these things that have happened? Including changing history, changing oneself" Lily didn't know why she would ask such a question, maybe it was to see Artoria's blank face mixed with remorse? Change, maybe the Holy Grail can really change everything

"Regrets?" In a daze, Artoria raised her head, her eyes full of incredulity and slight anger, and she continued, "If it were you, would you regret it after doing all this? I don't regret it, even if I make a decision to destroy the empire and plunge my people into chaos, because when I regret it, I would be negating the person with whom I co-founded this country, denying myself, and if I hadn't drawn the holy sword, how could I have met him? If it were you, would you regret it? You, who also have the name Artoria, give you another choice: will you draw the holy sword? ”。

“… I will. Lily said with a smile, then she stood up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside, her smile reflected in the glass: "Like you said, if I hadn't drawn the Holy Sword, would I still be able to meet him?" Do you, who also own the name Artoria, still at a loss for your path? 'Do what you want, and maybe you'll get unexpected results,' wasn't that what he told us? ”

"That's right, it will make me a lot more comfortable to say everything, I will stay by his side and walk with him, this time I will be his sword and his sheath........."
