Chapter 300: The Redemption of Artoria
Is this a mockery, the king of conquest. Artoria frowned.
"Not bad!" Alexander looked her squarely.
"As a king, you question the merits of your own deeds, and you regard your existence as a glorious subject! Not to mention wanting to deny them, it is even more disqualified by the king! ”
"Britain shouldn't end like that, I know she'll come to an end someday, but it should be as peaceful as falling asleep, not in a field full of corpses!"
Artoria snapped, "The king exists for the people, but if the king leads the people to destruction, then what is the value of such a king!" Regret such a result, what's wrong!! ”
Perhaps the two were arguing too loudly, and everyone's eyes turned to it, and the courtyard was quiet for a while.
In the silent air, Alexander spoke
"You say the king exists for the people? No, it's not. The king is not a tool for the happiness of the people, on the contrary, the state and the people should die for the king. ”
"Such a king is only a tyrant!"
"Exactly!" Alexander said, "It is because we are tyrants that we are heroes!" ”
"The king should guard the weak, not be a terrible oppressor! Tyranny breeds nothing but hatred and rebellion! ”
"Wrong! Tyranny can give birth to a united nation! The king served as a guiding lamp, and the people followed the king, overcoming obstacles for the king, expanding the territory, casting splendid palaces, and propagating the king's majesty. And the king returned to the hope of the people, and a more and more prosperous country! That's what the king is all about! ”
"So Ber, if there is a king who regrets his rule and regrets the end of his kingdom, then he is just a faint king! Not even a tyrant! ”
Artoria retorted angrily, "Alexander, you are not the same, the generals who once followed you coveted your throne after your death, all because of your ruling methods. You are good at inciting people and guiding them to follow you to expand their territory, but too strong will eventually devour themselves! ”
"Relying on the empire that was formed, because of the death of you as a tyrant, the civil strife continued, and the country you established was eventually divided into three, and the subjects fell apart, do you not regret this ending in the slightest?!"
"Nope."
"If this is the result of my way of ruling and the way of life of my courtiers, then the destruction of my country is inevitable." Alexander silently picked up the wine glass, but did not touch his mouth, "I will mourn and cry, but I will never do it with regret." Because of these, it is the me in front of me, the conquering king of the world, Alexander! This is my history, my past! Whether it's a story that has been sung for generations or spurned by others, it's all part of me. ”
"Ber, if you stubbornly want to deny yourself, one day, you will lose even the value of the Heroic Spirit itself. Even if you want to change the past, then I tell you. Alexander closed his eyes, "The Holy Grail does not choose a madman." ”
Artoria was momentarily speechless.
The crowd was silent.
Enkidu silently poured wine for Gilgamesh, who remained motionless.
After a long time.
"Do you like that country called Britain?" Alexander's tone slowed.
Artoria nodded as a matter of course.
"Well, you should understand, that your country has grown into something you are proud of. Her beauty is more important to you than any other country, because it is your homeland. I understand your pain, but it is not just your own fault that she will perish, because no nation cannot be destroyed, and no king cannot make mistakes. ”
"We may have been able to find a way to save a country from extinction in the past, but now we have lost this opportunity."
"No, even so, I don't admit it." Artoria stood up, "If I don't have the qualifications to be king, then another king can rule." If I hadn't drawn that sword, maybe someone wiser would have had it! ”
"Recognize the reality, that's not going to happen."
Ber came to Artoria's side at some point, sat down quietly, and picked up a wine glass, "If there is a sage like you say, he would have been famous for a long time, but as far as I know, Camelot, no, there is no decent leader in all of Britain. Do you still want to give the crown to Merlin? Don't forget that the sword in the stone was the one he instigated us to draw it. ”
"You"
Artoria stared at her alter self incredulously.
People who thought they were absolutely the same, but they had a disagreement on a certain path.
"No way, you should regret the fall of Britain!"
"You're right, I regret it."
Ber raised his glass, and Matthew poured him a drink.
"Then why-"
"But I don't have any dreams of changing the past, the past can't be changed, and it's meaningless. I don't want to insult the round table, and the knights who fought with me, their glory remains in Camelot, and my glory remains in the past. ”
"You"
No matter how much you are said by outsiders, it is not as good as your own
It must have shaken Artoria's heart.
The other self has given up.
Are you wrong?
No, but
"Artoria."
At this time, Liu Yuan spoke.
"Don't question yourself, follow your own royal path. Other people's royal road is the truth of outsiders, they are kings who are far away from you, and it is natural that there are differences in thinking between them. Just like in this era, I am afraid that you will not agree with the bearing of the ruler of the country. ”
"Artoria, you are not following the way of the dictatorship of the ancient kings, nor the way of the modern rulers, but the way of a saint who dedicates himself to becoming the king who is always right. It's been a tough road, but you've made it this far. ”
"Don't be influenced by others, stick to your heart, you are no inferior to anyone else, you are a symbol of knighthood, the pride of Britain, King Arthur who drew the holy sword."
"Moreover, you are a little mistaken, Britain was not destroyed, although the human race is no longer the Celts of your time, but the country of Britain still exists. It has endured numerous wars, numerous booms and falls, and is now one of the largest countries in the world. ”
Liu Yuan opened the map on his phone and showed her.
A very small island compared to the continental plate.
"To this day, Britain still sings your name, and Britain has not forgotten King Arthur for a moment."
Liu Yuan smiled, "You can rest assured, you have lived up to this country." ”
"Hmm"
Artoria nodded vigorously.
I don't know when I burst into tears.
