In the silence of the abrupt visit, Saber's hand could clearly feel Berserker's vanishing heartbeat. The hilt of the sword was clenched in his hand, and the blade of the sword pierced through the black armor.

This result is so ironic that who could have predicted it?

In this short moment, the victory and defeat were decided, and Saber was ashamed of her shallow greed, and she couldn't help but cry.

Knowing that she shouldn't have killed him, but still killing someone who shouldn't have been killed, Saber is now just an obsessive captive - just like Dilumudo's rebuke to him at the last moments, she wants nothing more than a miracle of the wish machine after stepping through many corpses. That's the real side of Saber at this moment.

"Even so, I'm going to get the Holy Grail."

Tears dripped down the trembling handarmor, mixed with the blood of the Berserker as it slid down the blade.

"If you don't, my friend...... If you don't, I can't make any compensation to you at all. ”

"It's really sad. It's all now, are you still looking for excuses for your own fighting? ”

A nostalgic voice.

Looking up, the knight was looking at the tearful king with his usual calm gaze, as calm as the surface of a lake. Scrapping his contract with the Master, he freed himself from the spell of madness while he was still gone.

"Lancelot ......"

"Yes, much appreciated. Perhaps, I can only convey my thoughts in this way......"

Looking at the sword that pierced his body with a compassionate gaze, Lancelot continued with a wry smile.

"Actually...... I wanted you to punish me personally. O king...... I wished you had asked me for your anger ......"

The rebellious knight, known as Lancelot, the culprit of the flaws of the Round Table. He spoke sadly to the only friend who had never reproached him until the end.

"If you can sanction it...... If you can ask me for compensation...... Then I will also believe in the atonement...... I will definitely believe that one day I will find a way to forgive myself. …… The princess must be the same......"

This is the regret of a man and a woman. They had the same ideals as the king. But he was too weak to implement this ideal.

And these two men were not redeemed until they died. Deep self-reproach for betraying the most important person, this self-reproach. They carried it all their lives.

To whom should such suffering be addressed, and who should be blamed in order to be liberated?

With a deep sigh, Lancelot relaxed and collapsed into the arms of the Knight King. The body in his arms was light, and Saber couldn't help but feel his throat clogged. The Servant's body, which was fading away, had almost no weight.

"Even though it's in this form, I ended up borrowing your chest......"

As if in a nap, the Knight of the Lake murmured and sighed calmly.

"In the bosom of the king, before the king's eyes died...... Ha ha. I'm just ...... like this Like a loyal knight......"

"You-don't say that-"

Saber replied anxiously. Before he disappears, he has something to tell him. She hoped he understood.

Not "it's just like", but "it simply is".

She wanted to tell him that you were a loyal knight. No one knows better than I am how sincere you are to your country and to the king.

So there's no need to blame yourself anymore. Even if it's a fault that can't be made. Your qualities cannot be subverted by such a mistake.

I don't want to humiliate you, I don't want to lose you. It is precisely because of this desire that I can truly deny the so-called sins you have committed.

That's what Artoria really thinks, but - it can't be the knight's salvation.

The knight closed his eyes as if he were asleep, and his body was dissolving. Seeing that he was going to disappear soon. But Saber still didn't know what to say.

"Lancelot, you ......!"

You're not a sinner -- what does that mean to him?

Even if someone denies his sin, it is none other than himself who is most entangled in this sin.

Why didn't I notice his lonely thoughts at the time? Why didn't you bring this knight's noble soul? Liberation from almost crazy self-blame.

-- The king will not understand the mood of others --

I heard this sentence as I left the round table - who said it.

The knight's dead body didn't say anything more, and with the last remnants of light, he vanished.

"--Wait...... Wait a minute...... Lance—"

Watching lose weight. With the empty arm crooked, Saber whimpered.

I can't even make a sound. She didn't allow herself to make even a little noise. Face the last moments of a loyal knight. I hadn't even been able to say a word of comfort to him, so what right did I have to cry now.

The king can only be lonely and haughty.

Say this to yourself. While looking for a way to save the country, how many people's thoughts and troubles did he ignore?

Gawain, who died heroically and heroically, Galahad who died in his mission, what were they thinking at the last moment. Are they equally remorseful and unwilling to die? Why can you say that this is not the case?

Saber wept silently, as if a myriad of thorns had cut through her heart.

Could it be that as a king, you shouldn't be on top of it at all?

If so, wouldn't it bring about a ruined ending? Can all be saved?

“…… It's not over yet. ”

From the whimpering throat - the persistent voice of the victorious king.

"And compensate...... It's still too late...... I still have the Holy Grail. I still have miracles that can turn fate upside down......"

Saber stood up, sword of victory.

Even if you can't listen to people's hearts, even if you are reprimanded for being the king of solitude, it doesn't matter at all.

Even so, if she could win for her homeland and her subjects with her own hands, this was what she asked for. What you have to do as a "king".

As long as you can get the Holy Grail, you can make up for everything. It is possible to correct all faults.

Now, this belief. It is all of Saber who chose the way of the king.

Scarred, Saber stepped along.

……

"This fearlessness that still moves forward in the midst of grief and mistakes really makes you want to stop." Archer exclaimed.

"What? You're not ready to play yet? Li Amen wondered.

The current situation is a deviation from the original book, and the hero king under normal circumstances, shouldn't he rush out at this time, and then have a final conversation with Saber, or even fight?

"No, tasting Saber's sadness, I still need to reminisce about it. If you face Saber now. How does this pleasure culminate? Archer said.

Amen was silent, and he seemed to sense something from what Archer had done.

Why did Archer pursue such extraordinary pleasure?

And why did Archer lead Qili down the same path, was it just to appreciate the depravity of others?

No, it's neither.

Amen suddenly sensed Archer's thoughts, a feeling of loneliness.

In Archer's setting as the king of heroes, he is the king who owns everything in this world, and he is already at the top, saying that he has everything, but in fact he has nothing in another sense.

The King of Heroes has been unable to find what he is looking for. It's not that he still wants to be a disincentive or a source, that's not what he cares about as a king.

If you don't pursue extra pleasure, perhaps a supreme heroic spirit like the Hero King no longer knows what he wants to do.

Therefore, people like Qili will attract the hero king. Because in a way, they're actually very similar.

That is to say, in a sense, the Hero King is also a person similar to Li Amen.

The so-called elegance is vulgarity. The Hero King's approach is almost not much different from Li Amen's in a way.

Li Amen wants to become a god and guide all beings to die together, no matter how noble. But in reality, it's just a lonely person looking for fun, and then looking for someone who is on the same road.

Amen Lee, who is completely aware of this. The spiritual realm seems to have improved again.

He felt that his spirit was no longer completely empty, and the power of his own spirit derived from the Heroic Spirit no longer seemed to be completely dependent on the world, as if a new force had been injected into it, and even if he lost the Moon World, he was no longer completely without sustenance.

Li Amen's consciousness was completely consistent with his own world, completing the unity of heaven and man in the true sense, and this spiritual sublimation made his spiritual personality half pulled out of the moon world, and then completely integrated into the heavenly kingdom.

The spiritual sublimation helped to complete his final plan, but it did not really move Li Amen.

Because Li Amen has thoroughly realized that he is fundamentally different from the Hero King.

The hero king has all the condescending loneliness, and this loneliness should be the loneliness of course. However, when Li Amen looks up at the sky from the underground, he is able to take everything in the heavens and the earth completely in his heart, and look for novelty in this state of mind, which is a more transcendent loneliness than the hero king.

Therefore, the hero king is just having fun, while Li Amen is dying, which is the fundamental reason why it is fundamentally different.

As for Qili, this kind of person with congenital personality defects is just to make up for his emotions at a level, he is a person who is dazed and needs guidance, and he can't compare with the state of mind of the hero king or Li Amen.

Ryunosuke is a person with ideals and pursuits, although he is not understood by normal people, and he finds the meaning of death by hurting others, but this is also his highlight.

This person is even higher than the Hero King's state of mind, at least he knows what he is doing and what he wants to pursue.

Therefore, after Qili has made up for his personality defects, he can be compared with Ryunosuke.

Thinking of this, Li Amen once again looked down on the Hero King, this is just a guy with great strength and enough strength, but only that. I believe that there are many real heroes who may not be much worse than him if they stand in the same position as the hero king.

So, Amen Lee has already made the final decision.

After achieving his goal, Li Amen no longer considered summoning the Hero King in the other world, and completely cut off this idea.

Otherwise, if it is not controlled and not to mention, the key is that the consciousness of this hero king is not enough at all, just his identity and strength are not enough to make Li Amen move this person.

Anyway, Li Amen completely lost interest in the essence of the Hero King.

"Anyway, it's already at the end, and no matter what happens to the hero king, it has nothing to do with me." He thought to himself. (To be continued......)
