The banquet continued.

Neither Artoria nor Mordred interjected during the conversation between the King of Conquest and the King of Heroes, and the two of them believed in the way of kings far from them.

Just following your own will is not the idea that a king should have!

In the eyes of Artoria and Mordred, who believed in incorruptibility, the king of conquest and the king of heroes were nothing more than tyrants. Even if you speak, you can't talk about going together.

But it would be rude to remain silent at the banquet, so Artoria took aim at Mordred, who also didn't speak, and asked, "Avenger, why do you want to get the Holy Grail?" ”

Mordred was slightly surprised, then looked at her deeply, and said, "My wish can be fulfilled without the Holy Grail, so I don't care about the final belonging of the Holy Grail!" ”

"Huh!?"

Hearing this, the King of Conquest put down his glass and said with a smile: "That's good news!" ”

Since the King of Conquest interjected, the topic was naturally directed to him by Artoria: "And what about you, King of Conquest, why do you want to get the Holy Grail?" ”

The King of Conquest actually smiled a little embarrassedly, and he took a sip of wine and replied, "I want to be human." ”

This unexpected answer immediately silenced the atrium.

Webber, who knew him best, jumped up on the spot and shouted in an almost frantic tone, "Oh, you, you ...... Do you want to conquer the world!? ”

Worthy of being the lord of the conquering king, Webb was the first to understand his thoughts.

"Hybrid...... Challenging me for such a boring thing? ”

Ignoring the reactions of others, the King of Conquest said with a serious face: "Even if we appear in the present world with magical power, we are only heroic spirits in the end, and we originally did not exist in this world. Although it feels a little ridiculous, I am not satisfied! I want to be reborn in this world. Live as a human being and continue your unfinished conquest. ”

"......" the Heroic Spirits were silent.

The King of Conquest is right, even if they can materialize. Dress, food, and so on are no different from human beings, but their essence is just like that of ghosts. Different from humans.

The King of Conquest continued: "The body is the foundation of 'conquest,' and to have the body, to go to heaven and earth, to 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. Without this, you can't even start. I'm not afraid of anything, I just feel that I have to have. ”

The Hero King listened attentively to his words, and only drank in silence from beginning to end. But if you look closely. At this time, he was showing a strange expression that was different from the past, and it may be a bit far-fetched to describe it as a smile, but compared with his usual sneering expression before, the smile at this time contained more fun and ...... Spicy!

"It's decided—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. "Even if you already know the real name of the Hero King, and understand the meaning of that name. The King of Conquest laughed unfearlessly.

After laughing, the King of Conquest turned to Artoria and asked, "Hey, I said Saber." Tell us about your wishes. ”

My way of king is my pride!

Firmly believing in this creed, Artoria said solemnly: "I want to save my hometown. I want to change the fate of Britain at hand. ”

"What!?" Mordred had a fierce glint in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up.

After a while, the King of Conquest broke his silence and said in confusion: "I said, Knight King, it can't be that I heard it wrong. You mean to 'change your fate'? That is, to turn history upside down? ”

Artoria proudly asserted, "Yes. No matter how difficult it may be, if you have the Almighty Holy Grail, you will be able to do it—"

Before they could finish speaking, two people burst out laughing. One condescending, full of sarcasm. One is faintly angry, and it is really from the hero king and Mordred.

“…… What's so funny?! ”

"My Lord has already told you about the limits of the Holy Grail. Shouldn't I laugh if you still have such ridiculous wishes? Mordred asked rhetorically.

And the hero king said directly and unceremoniously: "The king who is praised by all the people." Will you deny what you do? Ha! How can this not make people laugh? What a masterpiece! Saber, you're the best clown! ”

At the same time, the King of Conquest also frowned, and looked at Artoria with some displeasure, "As a king, he is not satisfied with the results of his country, which only means that he is a faint king, worse than a tyrant!" The stupidity of trying to subvert history is an insult to all the humanity of the era you have constructed!! ”

In the face of the bitter accusations of the three kings, Artoria locked her eyebrows and retorted in a sharp tone: "As a king, you should rule correctly, establish the correct order, and save your subjects." Isn't that a matter of course? ”

"Are you the 'right' slave then?" Mordred sarcastically.

"If you want to say that, you can only be worthy of being a king if you have the courage to dedicate yourself to your ideals." Artoria said proudly without a trace of doubt.

This sentence is a portrayal of her life, in order to become the perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of ideals, the girl named Artoria has already given up her body and personal feelings the moment she pulls out the sword of the king-electing stone. Since then, she has been synonymous with undefeated legends, hymns and dreams, though she has been given pain and trouble.

"You're still the same. You will only say 'salvation' and never guide your subjects. Even if you had to do it all over again, you would still fail! Looking at Artoria, who was still resolute, Mordred shook her head as if she were pitiful.

"That...... You know me, who are you? ”

"You don't need to know who I am now!" Mordred smiled happily, as if accusing the other party of making her very proud, "'Dedicated to ideals' is an incorruptible saint, but not a king!" As a king, what you have to do is to lead the people by example, and your holiness can only be unapproachable and misunderstood! ”

If Artoria's accusations of the King of Heroes and Conquests had reason to object, the accusations of Mordred, who knew her best, were like sharp knives that threw away all her defenses, making it impossible for her to avoid and defend. Then, she remembered the scene in her memory that was questioned by the people and soldiers, and the scene that made her the most painful -

Bloodstained Hill of the Sunset......

Corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood are flowing......

On the ground lay her courtiers, her friends, and her relatives......

The brutal poignant scenery revived in Artoria's mind once again.

Naturally, a dangerous thought came to her mind: if I were to ravage Britain as an overlord, what would be more tragic than the Battle of the Sword Fence...... (To be continued)
