Chapter 279: The Way of the King
"-Cut, what a rude hawd!
The Hero King said that he was very unhappy with Nero's style, but he didn't have too much of a seizure.
"Haha, I really didn't expect it! The fact that the famous benevolent monarch and the famous tyrant in history are both women, which makes us men ashamed. Hmm~ haha, the famous Roman tyrant is qualified to talk to us!
"Sure enough, the guess is right, it is a faint monarch and tyrant with no morality!"
The King of Conquest and the Knight King reacted very differently after being shocked, and the King of Conquest also happily accepted the existence of this powerful opponent, while the Knight King on the other side mercilessly despised him.
"Hehe, I'm just ridiculous, cruel and unkind, but I'm also the only great emperor in the world, you little lord of Britain should forget it, haha!"
In the face of the ridicule of the opposite Knight King, Nero was not ashamed at all, and he was not embarrassed by his bad reputation at all.
Although a new guest had been added, the King of Conquest happily picked up the topic and continued to ask the arrogant Archer sitting next to him:
"But archer, it doesn't matter if you have a Holy Grail or not, you don't want to compete for the Holy Grail to fulfill any wishes."
"Of course. But I can't spare the guy who took my treasure, it's a matter of principle. β
"That isβ"
The king of conquest drained the wine in his cup.
What does that mean? Is there any reason for this? β
"It's the law."
Archer replied immediately.
"The laws which I have made as king."
"Hmm."
The King of Conquerors seemed to understand his words and sighed deeply.
"What a perfect king, able to carry out the laws he has set. But ah, I still want the Holy Grail, and I just grab it if I want it, because I'm the king of conquest. β
"Not necessarily. As long as you come to commit it, I can sanction it, and there is no room for negotiation. β
"Then we'll only see you on the battlefield."
Archer nodded at the same time as Rider with a serious expression.
"--But Archer, let's have a drink anyway, and we'll talk about the fight later."
"Unless, of course, you don't like the wine I brought with you at all."
"What are you kidding, how can I be reluctant not to drink the wine."
At this moment, Archer and Rider had made Saber unable to tell whether they were friend or foe, so she had to sit silently and watch the two of them. After a few moments, she finally spoke to Rider.
"King of Conquest, since you have acknowledged that the Holy Grail is someone else's property, do you still want to take it by force?"
"-Huh? Of course, my belief is 'conquest'...... That is, 'seizure' and 'invasion'. β
Saber suppressed the anger in his heart and asked:
"Then why do you want to get the Holy Grail?"
Rider actually smiled a little embarrassedly, and he took a sip of wine and replied:
"I want to be human."
It was a surprising answer, and even Webb shouted "ah" in an almost frantic tone.
"Oh oh, you! Do you want to conquer the world - wow! β
After flicking his fingers to force the master to be quiet, Rider shrugged.
"Stupid, how can you conquer the world in this life? Conquest is your own dream, and you can only entrust this first step to the Holy Grail to achieve it. β
"Hybrid...... Challenging me for such a boring thing? β
Even Archer was helpless, but Rider said with a serious face:
"I said, even if we appear in the present world with magical powers, we are only servants in the end, and we don't exist in this world in the first place-although it feels a little ridiculous, but are you really satisfied?"
"I'm not satisfied. I want to be reborn in this world and live as a human being. β
ββ¦β¦β
Recall that Webb originally thought that disliking spirits and insisting on materializing was the Rider's quirk. Indeed, while servants can talk, dress, eat, and drink like humans, they are no more than ghosts in nature.
"Why...... So want to **? β
"Because that's the basis of 'conquest.'"
Iskandar muttered as he stared at his clenched fists.
"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**. β
As if listening carefully to Rider's words, Archer just drank silently the whole time. 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. β
Rider laughed wildly. But at this time, there was another person, although he participated in the banquet, he still did not show a smile.
Saber, who attended the party, couldn't find room 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.
Just follow your own will-
This is not what the king should think. Saber, who believes in incorruptibility, sees Archer and Rider 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 two are opponents who can't 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. Moreover, that was just the beginning of being a human being. Compared with their desires, the desires of the saber cannot but be said to be nobler than theirs.
"Hey, I said Saber, tell me your wishes too."
Rider finally turned to Saber. At any time, the desire in her heart has never wavered.
My way of king is my 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. (To be continued.) )
