ps: ps: This chapter just says some of the author's own opinions, don't spray.

"Fallen? Perhaps, for you, who are kings in the name of knights, incorruptible saints, and holy to the point that no one can match, we are just filthy tyrants with their own selfish desires. But even if we are tyrants, we are kings! Your undeniable king! Saber, as I said before, this contest of 'kings' is meaningless. The reason why Iskandar is the king of conquest and Artoria is the king of knights is because your royal path is completely different! ”

Saber and Rider, who was drinking with their heads bored, were slightly stunned, as if they understood what the night star said, and they fell silent.

It was Archer, the golden servant who had been sitting alone and drinking a drink since the beginning. Those crimson eyes looked at him carefully at some point.

The meaningless gaze made Night Sky Star uncomfortable, as if he was being entangled in a snake, which was very unpleasant.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, it's just a sudden thought, if only you were a woman."

“”

It's so cold, I should have put on a few extra clothes when I went out today.

I couldn't help but distance myself from Archer, and the Night Star selectively ignored it.

"Saber, I do not deny your royal way any more than I approve of the royal way of conquering kings. No matter what kind of ideas and ideas you have, no matter how you govern the country, you standing in front of me today are the legendary King Arthur who has left a name for eternity! About that. Rider, what do you think? ”

"This" suddenly led the topic to himself. Unprepared, Iskandar stopped the wine he was pouring into his glass and groaned as he looked at Saber, who had stood up in anger earlier. "Okay, I'll admit that what I said before was a bit extreme. ”

Saber is already very satisfied with being able to make Rider not deny himself.

"No, rider, I was a little impulsive just now, sorry."

"But I still believe in my own ideas. 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 one that contains clarity and turbidity. A human being more real than anyone else. Only in this way can the courtiers be impressed by the king, and the people will have such a longing in their hearts, 'If only I were the king'! ”

For the addition of rider, Saber did not give in.

In order to become a 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 in it. Her unchanging belief still supports her sword-holding arm.

"In the same way, I will stand firm in my own royal way! Only the king of Guò was able to understand law and order. The king should not embody something that will disappear with the death of the king, but something more honorable. ”

All of them are based on the basic criterion of making the people happy. But the two have very different philosophies.

On one side is praying for peace.

On the one hand, there is hope for prosperity.

The king who suppressed the troubled times and the king who was involved in the war, naturally the two could not have the same philosophy.

Saber and Rider, who were in a-for-tat relationship, suddenly laughed and raised their glasses. Drain the wine from the glass.

Compared to the previous gunpowder-filled conversations, the atmosphere is much more harmonious. It's like a king-to-king reception.

"Speaking of which, you're the only one who hasn't told me why you want to get the Holy Grail. The King of Swords. ”

An invisible battle was resolved by Nightstar's words, and Archer looked at him playfully as he shook the liquid in his glass.

Rider and Saber also have their eyes on Nightstar.

Xiao Xiao took a sip of wine, and Night Sky Star shook his head, "I guess you all know that there are eight masters involved in the Holy Grail War this time, right?" ”

"That's right, I thought your servant was a caster, but the caster has already appeared. Then your servant is again," Saber looked at him puzzled.

"Avenger - The people of Einzberen should know this, after all, Einzberen summoned this servant who broke away from the basic seventh rank during the Third Holy Grail War."

"Does this have anything to do with your pursuit of the Holy Grail?" Rider was keenly aware of something.

"Well, there must be a relationship, and I can't say what it has to do with it. In short, my purpose, to say something simple, is to make the Holy Grail disappear. ”

"Do you want to destroy the Holy Grail?!"

Saber and Rider were shocked. The Holy Grail carries their wishes, and the purpose of the Night Star is to put an end to the wishes of all of them.

"Pretty much."

Nightstar was unimpressed by their reaction.

"Why are you doing that?"

Shocked, Archer, Rider, and Saber couldn't help but be curious.

"Why? Hehe, is the Holy Grail you are looking for really what you imagined to be that good? Does it really grant any wish? The Holy Grail is nothing more than an aggregate of vast energies that can grant wishes in a certain way, but in the end there is still a limit. Of course, even this is enough to make people flock to it. If that's all there is to it, there's no need to destroy it, but—"

Speaking of which, Night Sky Star suddenly changed the subject.

"Saber, you said before that you were going to save your homeland Britain as a result of the fall, how do you want to save it?"

Although I don't know why the topic suddenly shifted to me, as a king, Saber didn't avoid answering.

"If it weren't for Britain that it was because of me that it would perish. Then I hope that the Holy Grail can turn back the clock before I pull out the sword in the stone and re-elect the king! ”

"Wait, Saber. Are you trying to say that you chose to give up being a king? ”

"Yes, the right rule, the right order. This is what all subjects expect. What they need is salvation. If I can't save them, then I'll be king with someone who can save them! ”

Looking at Saber, who was still resolute, the rider on the side showed a completely disappointed expression. If the two of them were just different in their philosophy of being kings before, Rider would still be able to accept it.

But now

"Saber, I take back my previous words, you who have even given up your royal way, Iskander do not recognize you as a king!"

"Me"

Looking at Saber, who was about to say something, Nightstar interrupted her by shaking her head.

"I'm curious, Saber. Why do you think that others can do what you can't do? Why would you think that there would be someone better than you as a king in that situation? Why did King Arthur appear as a man and you were a woman? Why didn't you think of using your foreknowledge to make up for some of the mistakes you had made and save your own people and your country with your own hands? Answer me, why is that! ”

In the past, when watching anime, Night Sky Star has always disliked the character of Saber, even if her popularity is the first place, Night Sky Star is still loveless, and even he himself can't figure out why this is. It can only be interpreted as "it's not my thing".

But now, he's finally found the crux of the problem.

Looking at Saber, who seemed to be cornered by his own problems, a nameless anger burned in his heart.

Can't answer? Let me explain it to you! ”

"You're just a coward who is strict with yourself and others while constantly choosing to escape!"

Without giving Saber a chance to refute, Night Sky Star said clearly word by word.

"You're afraid that people will look down on you because you're a woman. So you pretend to be a man and become a king of Britain. In fact, it should be you who looks down on women! If you think that women are no worse than men, then you should use the identity of a woman to prove that you are right! But you don't. You chose to escape! You coward! ”

Saber, who had been hit hard, shook his body twice, and his face was very ugly.

"And that's not all. You also shirk your responsibilities. It is also called "the king should live as a sage", but in fact, he just wants to unload the heavy burden on his body. So even if Britain perishes again, it has nothing to do with you, right? If Britain escaped the end of destruction. You're relieved that you made the right choice, right? ”

Taking two steps back, Saber could barely use his sword to support himself from falling, "No, no, no"

"Not? If you think that Britain perished because you didn't have the right leadership, you should regret it, and it's not incomprehensible to want to use the power of the Holy Grail to start over, but why would you choose a new king?! If you don't want to evade responsibility, you should take the initiative to take the initiative, change your past mistakes, and change the outcome of the blood-stained sunset hill in the sword fence! ”

"Me"

There are many words that I want to refute, but every time I open my mouth, the scene I once witnessed in Cam Ranh Bay comes to mind.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers. There lay her courtiers, her friends, and her relatives.

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

She was so surprised when she saw this tragedy with her own eyes, and she felt that there was nothing she could do but pray.

It was because of this that she came up with the idea of a different king to rule.

"Is it possible to change the future or something?"

"Hmph, the future does not belong to you alone, but to all the people of Britain in your time! Even you, the king, don't believe that you can change, why do you believe that others can change?! Even if the Holy Grail is given to you, it will be a waste! Rider is right, you don't deserve to be the king, you're just a little girl who wants to be a 'king' for the sake of the people, and a cocoon to become that kind of idol! ”

Saber smiled bitterly miserably, then spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes went black and fell. (To be continued......)
