"If my decision, and that of my courtiers, leads to such an outcome, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and I will shed tears, but I will not regret it. ”

"How could it be ......?"

"Not to mention an attempt to turn history upside down! This stupidity is an insult to all the human beings of the era I have constructed!"

Saber denied Rider's arrogant words, "You're only saying this based on the glory of the warriors. The people don't think so, what they need is salvation. ”

"You mean they want the king's salvation?"

Rider shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

"I don't understand! Does this stuff make any sense?"

"This is the duty of a king!"

This time it was Saber's turn to speak proudly:

"The right rule, the right order, that's what all subjects expect."

"Are you the 'right' slave then?"

"If you want to say that, you can do that. Only by dedicating oneself to one's ideals is worthy of being a king. ”

Without a hint of doubt, the young Knight King nodded.

"Through the king, people are 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. Looking at Saber, who was still resolute, Rider on the side shook his head as if he was pitying her. This is not the path of survival that one would choose. ”

"Yes. If you are born as a king, you can't expect to live the life of ordinary people. ”

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. Her unchanging belief still supports her sword-holding arm.

"King of Conquest, a man like you who cares only about yourself will not understand my faith. You're just a bully who gets carried away by lust!"

Saber shouted. Rider's eyes immediately widened as he was scolded.

"A king without desire is better than a vase."

Rider's shouts of rage, combined with his massive size, made him even more terrifying.

"Saber, you just said 'dedicate yourself to your ideals.'" Indeed, you used to be an incorruptible saint, holy to the point that no one else could match. But who wants to expect to be martyred for their ideals? Who would think day and night about the so-called saints, who can only comfort the people, but cannot guide the people. Only by showing desire and eulogizing the ultimate glory can we lead the country and the people to the right path. ”

After drinking the wine in the cup, the conqueror king corrected.

"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 human being who is pure and turbid, more real than anyone else. Only in this way can the courtiers be convinced by the king, and the people will have such a longing in their hearts, 'It would be nice if I were the king'!"

"Such governance...... So where is the justice?"

"Nope. There is no such thing as justice in the way of kings, so there is no remorse. ”

“……”

He asserted it too harshly, and Saber was furious.

Both take making the people happy as the basic criterion, but the two have very different ideas.

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.

Rider smiled and spoke heartily.

"O king who bears the name of a knight; Your righteousness and ideals may have saved the country and the people for a while, so your name will be praised to this day. However, you don't know what happened to those who were saved. ”

"You say—what?"

Bloodstained Hill of the Sunset.

The sight revived Saber's mind again.

"You have been trying to 'save' your subjects, but you have never 'guided' them. They don't know what the 'king's desire' is. Thou hast left behind your lost subjects, and thou hast left behind a sacred gesture to revel in thy own petty ideals. So you're not a good king. You just want to be a 'king' for the sake of the people, a little girl who cocoons herself in order to be that kind of idol. ”

"I ......"

There are many words that I want to refute, but every time I speak, I am reminded of the scene I had witnessed in the last battle.

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.

There are also magicians who predict that it is almost impossible to subvert it. But she still thought if a miracle could happen......

A dangerous thought took over Saber's mind.

If you don't protect Britain as a savior. But what if he ravaged Britain as an overlord?

Troubled times will only become more chaotic because of the scourge of war. First of all, this is not the path of kingship she pursues. And no matter what angle she stands, she named Artoria will not choose this option.

But if he did do that, which would be more tragic than the Battle of the Sword Fence......

“?”

Suddenly, Saber felt a wide gaze lock on her, and it brought her back to reality from her thoughts.

That was Mo Huai's sight.

Mo Huai had left Saber in the hands of Rider from just now. I sat on the side and drank leisurely. His crimson eyes. I don't know when I looked at Saber carefully.

He did not speak, and it was not clear from his gaze that he had any intentions, but there was a warmth in his gaze, as if he were looking at a poor man.

“…… Mo Huai, why are you looking at me?" Saber asked, confused

"Ah, I was just wondering how you could be a Heroic Spirit."

Mo Huai's smile was unexpectedly gentle, but it made people feel a little surprised.

"It stands to reason that Heroic Spirits are heroes, but you're different."

"You ......"

For Saber, this is an unforgivable fool. She didn't hesitate to smash the cup to the ground, her face filled with uncontrollable anger, although she respected Mo Huai, it didn't mean that she could endure the insult.

"O foolish people."

Mo Huai muttered to himself casually, draining the rest of the wine from his cup. Saber didn't answer, and Rider looked at Mo Huai with some curiosity.

"Why do you lead them? Just for the king's false name? ”

"The king's false name? No, no, no, I just want to conquer! Rider stood up with a smile unreservedly. Conquest is the most wonderful thing in the world! ”

But Saber is still haunted by Rider's words, and she doesn't want to let him go.

"Rider, how can the name of the king be a conquest? It should be bootstrapping! ”

"The king's name is so important?!"

Mo Huai stopped Saber's words in a strong tone.

"Have you kings ever enjoyed the feeling of loving and being loved? Have you enjoyed the feeling of living a carefree and happy life? Is it fun for you to take the ignorant people to war every day? ”

"Do you still want to continue to fool me? Mohuai master. Saber's tone was impatient.

"Mo Huai, although I admire you, you can't defile my king's way!" The rider was loud and thunderous, and his face was hideous.

Mo Huai just looked at them with pity, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of pitch-black wings appeared behind him. Although it is not as powerful as the "Holy Oasis", it is enough to attract attention.

"Gilgamesh, go."

“……”

"Hey, Mohuai, where are you going? I'm going too. Poison Island said.

"--Well, come with me......"

Ever since he saw the appearance of the Poison Island Lady, Mo Huai wanted to take her away, but after all, the Poison Island Lady has a master, and her strength is very strong, so it is the same to take her away in the end, but now that the Poison Island Lady has spoken, there is no need for him not to agree.

After Gilgamesh got on the boat, he glanced at the poison island and said in a sincere tone, "Well, you can sit on it too." ”

"No, I-"

Ignoring the last refutation of the poisonous island boy, he hugged the cherry blossom on the boat, and had no choice but to get off the poison island boy and get into the car, and finally, Mo Huai spread his wings and flew into the distance, and the ark followed Mo Huai and disappeared into the eastern sky.

“……”

Facing Mo Huai, who flashed after speaking, Alice Fell and Webb stared at each other, which was too irresponsible, but they were silent at the same time, and indeed the ignorant people entrusted this kind of big responsibility to the 15-year-old flower girl, who was supposed to enjoy life, was forced to go to the battlefield.

This is the sadness of the times, and no one can say anything about it.

But Saber couldn't just forget Mo Huai's words as a joke. There was a reluctance to let him take these words back—it was these words that made Saber angry, but did she want Mo Huai to take them back, or did she want to know what that feeling of love was?

"You don't have to pay attention, Saber, you just have to stick to the path you believe in."

It was Alice Phil who interjected from the side, although she couldn't fight back against Mo Huai's words, but this was not the time to be disheartened, and she had to cheer Saber up.

"When I finally called out to Mo Huai, if he was willing to stop and listen to me, what would I say?"

Asking Alice Phil, Saber turned around with a wry smile, perhaps self-deprecating.

"I remembered - 'King Arthur didn't understand other people's feelings'. One of the knights who left me said so. ”

“……”

"Maybe that's the idea of one of the Knights of the Round Table."

Alice Fell shook her head and said to Saber:

"Saber, you are the ideal king, and your Noble Phantasm proves it."

Just like Rider has the Noble Phantasm "King's Army". Saber also possesses the "Sword of Victory of the Oath". If the Noble Phantasm of the King of Conquest embodies the commanding qualities of the Conquest King, then the Noble Phantasm of the Knight King is also the embodiment of her supreme faith. No one can deny the brilliance of this pride.

"Indeed. I want to make myself the king of my dreams. In order not to make mistakes, I never worry about personal feelings, and I never confide in my heart. ”

But can I, like Rider, puff up my chest and boast about my beliefs?"

At this moment, Alice Phil finally understood why Saber hesitated.

King Arthur ended up with a tragic end of rebellion. Because he was not able to be loved by his courtiers like Iskander, the result was tragic.

"--Saber, even though fate is inescapable, it doesn't say that it is a foregone conclusion." After a moment of silence, Alice Fell suddenly said.

"How?"

"You have more than one life in your life, so why not try a life that is not a knight king. So, live a normal life, so you have to fight for the Holy Grail. ”

“…… Is it a normal human life? ”

Once, the king's magician had told her if she drew the sword of fate. Then she will go to inevitable perdition.

But even so, she did not hesitate.

Although she was enlightened, she didn't really realize what that meant. Even though she couldn't believe in hope, she believed that her wish was right.

So, when she saw the results of the prophecy with her own eyes, she could not accept this fact.

If you are an ordinary person, maybe it will be better for the UK.

"Thank you Alice Phil, I know what to do."

Saber nodded, her eyes still as clear and serene as ever. But it has begun to flicker inexplicably.
