The rattling of the iron chains wrapped around her body kept disappearing, and Artoria's slightly dazed eyes regained their look, and her gaze shifted to see the long sword that shimmered with cold light, and at this time the long sword pierced the opponent's chest, and she was hugged by the other party and leaned against his cold armor.

"It's all over." His voice was still as calm as ever, without any fluctuations.

But his heart can't be calm, just now he saw the other party's past in a very special way, quickly and clearly, everything was imprinted in his mind, at this moment Artoria really understood how much the other party paid for himself, and his feelings for himself.

Behind him there was a broken space, black chains emerged from the space and wrapped around his body that kept turning into dust and disappeared, in that 'thank you' he was pulled into the black space by the chains, his hand pulled off his hairband, holding the blue ribbon and disappearing in front of him little by little.

"I really want to see you in a long dress again... The maiden named Artoria... And not King Arthur—" He disappeared from his sight as he saw it, a severed black sword falling to the ground, nothing else, and the sword seemed to have lost its soul and became dull.

Picking up the severed black sword, Artoria's tears slid down her cheeks, and the cry of remorse, dazedness, and overwhelm echoed through the hills for a long time.

The Black Knight, who had been with the king all along, disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone, and King Arthur returned to the castle alone, locking himself in his room for a week.

She wouldn't open the door no matter who it was, and just as everyone tried to break in, the closed door opened, and the knights who were guarding outside were dumbfounded, because it was not King Arthur who came out of the room, but a girl in a long white dress with a golden ponytail.

She was indeed King Arthur, but many knights did not expect that their king was actually a woman, and such a beautiful woman!

"Aren't the noble lords still waiting? Let's go. King Arthur said this to the knight beside her, and she clutched the sword hanging from her waist that had been broken, and walked towards the main hall with the sword in stone that had previously represented the sword of kings, without any hesitation or hesitation.

Pushing open the door of the main hall, the originally noisy space immediately quieted down, and everyone's eyes fell on the smiling girl in a long white dress, full of shock.

The eyes followed her, and when she walked to the throne and sat down, everyone woke up, and the hall was like a lit explosive, and everyone was asking a question loudly.

That's 'King Arthur turned out to be a woman'!

"Surprised? I am King Arthur, and my real name is Artoria. Pan Dagang—" said the king.

She looked at the noble lords below, and said to the knights who were still loyal to her: "I was originally a woman, now I just restore my true identity, I am still the king of Arthur, the prophesied king, if you can't accept it, you can leave and return to Britain with your own army, I will lead those who are willing to follow me to continue to advance, I will conquer all of Europe!" ”

A third of the nobles left, who laughed at King Arthur and others as they left ... Artoria did not hold back on the departure of these people, she still said with a smile: "Your name will be left in the history of Britain, and you will be the heroes of the 'Holy Britain' Empire..."

It took five years for Britain to defeat the Nordic Empire under the leadership of Artoria, and she was crowned the first emperor of 'Holy Britain' in Rome, when she was only in her twenties.

Because of the broken relationship between the sword in the stone, Artoria received the 'sword in the lake' from the goddess of the lake under Merlin's guidance, and Merlin asked her, 'Which is more important?'

"Sheath, of course, because I've already lost it once." Artoria replied that she became the master of the Sword of the Lake, and with the help of this sword, she defeated the powerful enemies of the Norse Empire.

"My mission is accomplished, isn't it?" In the twilight, Artoria said to her teacher Merlin, who stood on the castle and looked down on the city, looked at her subjects and said, "I'm glad to see their smiles, so that it can be over, right?" ”

"You've decided?" Merlin asked, standing behind the girl.

"Because of his relationship, my future has changed, this time it should be up to me to do something for him, he doesn't really want to see what I look like in a long dress again." The breeze blew Artoria's white dress, and she turned to look at her teacher and said with a smile, "This time I will be by his side, becoming his sheath, his sword, and his light..."

In these words, Artoria's body slowly blurred, and her gaze fell on the girl who had the same appearance as herself in the distance: "When I leave you, you are the second emperor of the British Empire, my daughter Mordred, this country will be handed over to you, I hope that under your leadership the empire will become more prosperous...!" ”

"My father, I hope you will be able to grant your wish..."Mordred grabbed the corner of her skirt and saluted Artoria, who had disappeared, "I hope your dream will continue until you wake up..."

In the deserted Valhalla, Artoria held a long sword with a golden scabbard in her arms, and the black broken sword was placed beside her, and after thousands of years of waiting for the door to the present world to finally be opened, the gentle smile on her face remained unchanged.

Looking down at the black broken sword, she clenched it, what she didn't hold back then would never let go this time, and she swore that she would fulfill her wish.

"I know you're alive, and we'll see you again, as Artoria, not King Arthur..."The pure white knight smiled as he walked through the door to another world..."Sevant, Saber has complied with the call, and may I ask if you are my master?" Standing in the auditorium, the White Knight asked with a smile......... Divider...... Seeing the pure white knight who suddenly rushed into the golden capital, everyone present was stunned, her appearance was exactly the same as Artoria, but she gave people a different feeling, as warm as the sun, as if it could cleanse people's souls, and her smile could even make Gilgamesh, who had been a little blackened, feel that her emotions were constantly being soothed.

"Hey, what's going on? Two sabers? Sisters? Rin looked down in disbelief and said, she knew that the hermit would find someone to help Artoria, but she didn't expect that it would be another Saber who came to the rescue.

"They're the same person, but they're from different worlds..."The hermit smiled, the pure white knight with Avalon should be able to help Artoria, otherwise he would have to make a move, he didn't want to see Artoria die in front of him.

"Are you really not going out? Those people have a deep relationship with you, right? Rin asked, although they had been together for a short time, she had already guessed the identity of the hermit from the conversation, he would often involuntarily show his feelings, and his words would not hide anything, but Rin really couldn't imagine how such a bad person could get so much love!

What is this, a winner in life?

When others have a headache for emotional problems, there are already several excellent women around him who are fighting for him. What's even more hateful is that he still sits next to the play with a faint and natural look, is there anyone more shameless and bastard than this person?

"I'm not shameless and a bastard..."The hermit seemed to guess Rin's thoughts, he smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "There are many things that I know how to cherish after loss, I am the kind of person who knows later, I have never cherished the people around me in the past, until they are all gone from me, I will wake up, regret, want to change, from a certain point of view I am indeed a bastard..."

After going through many hermits, he discovered his true self, and for thousands of years, he has constantly examined and questioned himself, what is his feelings for them?

He loved them, but when he realized it was too late, he lost his name because of his thirst for power, and was lured by the consciousness born by the root to degenerate, and became crazy and delirious, and when he was able to suppress the root, he found that no matter what he did, he could not save anyone.

In the final analysis, such things are caused by his own hands, so he is constantly planning, trying to change, so with this Holy Grail War that has been distorted, this is his last effort, he wants to completely change here, help his past before his power is completely gone, and change everything!

"It is my wish to change the tragedy of my own creation," the hermit said softly, taking something out of the pocket of his clothes, a blue ribbon.

"What is this?" Rin asked curiously.

The hermit pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "Memories..."

…… Divider...... In the dark room, Ray sat on the bed, and in his arms lay the sleeping Sakura, at this time she was curled up on the bed, her head was on Ray's lap, her expression was a little sad, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes and dripped on Lei Zhe's legs... Raising his hand, he wiped the tears from the corners of Sakura's eyes, the eyes under the mask looked at his master calmly, Ray gently brushed the other party's soft hair, and when his fingertips touched Sakura's knot, his movements stopped.

Reaching into the cloak, Ray took out a blue ribbon and held it in his hand, he quietly watched this ribbon fall into confusion, what the hell is this...?

"Big brother?" Sakura, who was sleeping, opened her eyes and rubbed her slightly hazy sleepy eyes, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her cute little face when she looked at Lei: "Big brother, are you crying?" ”

Cry... Me?

Ray tried to touch his eyes, but was stopped by the mask, he smiled and stroked Sakura's hair and said, "How can I cry, Master." ”

"But, Sakura-chan saw you crying..."Sakura said and got up, then sat down next to Ray, rested her head on his arm, closed her eyes, and said, "Big brother, don't cry, Sakura will be by your side..."

The black cloak floated around Sakura's body, and Ray tied the blue ribbon around Sakura's right wrist and whispered, "I'll be by your side too, Master." ”
