21 King
King Arthur, I believe that even people who have no involvement in history will know the name of this legendary king. There are even some biographies and films about his legendary life. It is said that the Knights of the Round Table under his command were known as the "Knights of the Round Table" in the British Empire at that time. The most powerful knights, this legendary knights finally collapsed after one of the knights, Lancelot, had an affair with King Arthur's queen Guinevere.
The Battle of the Fence - Known as King Arthur's last battle, in which King Arthur killed the rebellious Mordred, but was mortally wounded and died shortly afterwards. Of course, this war Whether it exists is still questionable.
'Black Swordsman' - Kiritani Kazuto can fully affirm this period of history, because Lancelot, the first knight of the Knights of the Round Table, 'told' him so in his memory.
What is inconsistent with history is that in the memory given by Lancelot, King Arthur did not execute him and Queen Guinevere in the end, but forgave them because King Arthur felt guilty about Guinevere. Since Lancelot If Lot can give the queen comfort and love, then he can probably make up for his guilt towards the queen.
Because here, the true identity of King Arthur in history is actually a woman.
Finally, after a seemingly endless silence, Rider spoke first: "I said...King of Knights, could I have heard wrongly? Do you mean to 'change destiny'? In other words, to overturn history?"
"Yes. No matter how unattainable the wish is, as long as you have the almighty Holy Grail, it will definitely come true." Saber proudly asserted, and now Saber finally knows why the atmosphere between the two people is so wonderful - the scene suddenly became cold. Come down.
"Ah, Saber? I want to confirm... the destruction of Britain should have happened in your time, when you ruled?" Rider suppressed the displeasure in his heart, trying not to express his inner emotions, and his tone sounded urgent. asked.
"Yes! That's why I can't forgive myself, so I'm very unwilling and want to change the ending! Because I caused that ending..." Saber's tone became firmer after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, someone burst out laughing. It was a vulgar laughter that did not care about any understanding, and this laughter came from the mouth of Mei Lin, who was exuding golden light, with a mocking tone that was completely inconsistent with her beauty. Voice.
"...archer, what's so funny?" Faced with this great humiliation, Saber's face was full of anger. The thing she cherished the most was actually laughed at by Archer.
"You claim to be a king... and you are praised by all the people... How can such a person still be 'unwilling'? Ha! How can this make people not laugh? What a masterpiece! Saber, you are the best clown!" I don't mind at all! Saber's anger, Meilin answered intermittently while laughing.
Next to Mei Lin who was laughing non-stop, Rider also frowned and stared at Saber with some displeasure. The 'Black Swordsman' suppressed the murderous intention that had arisen in his heart and stood quietly beside him. Watching and listening to the conversation between the three kings.
"Wait... wait for the King of Knights first. Do you want to deny the history you created?"
"Exactly. Is it surprising? Is it ridiculous? As a king, the country I dedicated my life to has been destroyed. What's wrong with me mourning?" Saber, who has never had any doubts about her ideals, naturally does not do so at this moment.
He asked.
"Hey, hey, did you hear that, Rider! This little girl who claims to be the King of Knights... actually said something about 'sacrifice one's life for the country'!" Her answer was another burst of laughter from Mei Lin, and Archer's answer was Rider's gradually deepening silence.
To Saber, this is the same insult as being laughed at.
"I don't understand what's so funny. As a king, you should naturally stand up and work hard for the prosperity of your country!"
"You are wrong. It was not the king who dedicated himself, but the country and the people who dedicated everything to the king. Don't make a mistake about this." Rider denied her words resolutely and solemnly.
"What are you talking about... isn't that a tyrant! Rider, Archer, it's a big mistake for you to be kings like this!" Saber could no longer suppress her anger and shouted loudly.
"Indeed. But we are not only tyrants, but also heroes. So Saber, if a king is dissatisfied with the results of his governance of the country, it can only mean that he is a foolish king, worse than a tyrant."
Unlike Archer who kept laughing at Saber, Rider fundamentally denied her. Saber frowned and retorted in a sharp tone: "Iskandar, you... the empire you created was eventually split into
Four people, are you really not at all unwilling to do this? Don’t you want to do it again to save the country?”
"No! If my decision and my ministers lead to such a result, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and shed tears, but I will never regret it." The conquering king immediately replied, holding out his chest.
Looking directly into the stern eyes of the King of Knights.
"How could..." Saber said in disbelief, because is this really what a king should say?
"You only say this based on the glory of warriors. The people don't think so. What they need is salvation." Regarding Rider's proud words, Saber denied.
"You mean they want the king's rescue? I don't understand! What's the point of this kind of thing?" Rider shrugged and laughed.
"This is the duty of a king! Correct rule and correct order are what all subjects expect." This time it was Saber's turn to speak proudly.
"Then are you the 'right' slave?" Rider finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and roared.
"You can say so. Only those who devote themselves to their ideals deserve to be kings. People can understand law and order through kings. What the king embodies should not be something that will disappear with the death of the king, but a kind of
Something more noble." Without a trace of doubt, the young knight king nodded.
"This is not the path of survival that people would choose." Looking at Saber who was still determined, Rider on one side shook his head as if he pitied her.
"Yes. Since you are born a king, you cannot expect to live like an ordinary person." 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 love, named Artoria.
The girl's life completely changed the moment she pulled the sword out of the rock. Since then, she has become an undefeated legend, a synonym for hymns and dreams. She has had pains and worries, but that
It contains the glory of victory and the unchanging faith that supports her arm holding the sword to this day.
"King of Conquerors, someone like you who only cares about yourself will not understand my beliefs. You are just a bully who is blinded by desire!" Saber shouted sharply. Rider immediately opened his eyes after being scolded.
"A king without hope is worse than a vase, Saber, you just said 'sacrifice yourself for your ideals'. Indeed, you used to be an incorruptible saint, so holy that no one can match it. But who is willing to expect to be martyred for their ideals? And there are
Who would think day and night longing for the so-called saint, who can only comfort the people, but cannot guide them. Only by showing hope and singing the ultimate glory can the country and the people be led to the right path." Rider's angry shouts added to his huge voice.
His body makes him feel even more terrifying.
After draining the glass of wine, the Conqueror King continued to correct him: "As a king, you must have stronger desires than anyone else, be bolder than anyone else, and be more irritable than anyone else. He should be a person who contains the purity of mind."
He is a human being who is more real than anyone else. Only in this way can the ministers be convinced by the king, and the people will have the longing of 'It would be great if I were the king' in the hearts of the people!"
"With this kind of governance...then where is the justice?!" Saber couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, and her tone also seemed a little excited.
"No. There is no so-called justice in the way of a king, so there is no regret." He asserted too simply, and Saber was already extremely angry.
In the end, for some reason, Rider smiled and said cheerfully: "O king who bears the name of a knight. Your justice and ideals may have saved the country and the people for a while, so your name will be praised to this day. However, those
You don’t know what will happen to the saved guy.”
"What did you say?" The blood-stained hillock, and that scene revived in Saber's mind again.
"You blindly 'save' your subjects, but never 'guide' them. They don't know what the 'king's desire' is. You leave your lost subjects, but you use a sacred attitude to save yourself.
That kind of petty ideal is intoxicated, so you are not a qualified king. You just want to be a 'king' who cares for the people, and you are just a little girl who has tied yourself up in order to become that kind of idol." There are many words to refute, but every time
Every time I open my mouth, the scene I once witnessed in Cam Ranh Bay will appear before my eyes.
Corpses were strewn across the field, and rivers of blood were lying there. Her courtiers, her friends, and her relatives lay there. She learned about the prophecy before she pulled out the sword from the rock. She knew that this meant destruction, and she had already
There is awareness.
But, why...she felt so surprised when she saw this tragic scene with her own eyes. She felt that there was nothing she could do except pray. Some magicians also predicted that it would be almost impossible to subvert, but she still thought, if a miracle can really
If it appears...
A dangerous thought occupies Saber's mind. If she does not protect Britain as a savior, but ravages Britain as an overlord - the troubled times will only become more chaotic due to the disaster of war. First of all, this is not the path of king she pursues. And regardless of
No matter what angle you stand on, Arturia would never choose this option, but if she did, which one would be more tragic than the Battle of the Sword Fence...
Finally, for some unknown reason, Saber looked at the 'black swordsman' - Kiritani Kazuto, who had lowered his head from the beginning and blocked his sight with the bangs on his forehead, and couldn't help but think of the same thing.
Since he is in the same Saber class as him, can he understand himself?
Finally, Saber couldn't help but murmured: "Kirito, did I...really do something wrong? I just wanted to change Britain's fate of eventual destruction. Is this wrong?"
However, just after Saber finished saying this, Kirito suddenly made a move that shocked everyone present. The black one-handed heavy sword materialized behind him at some point, and everyone just listened.
There was a clear "clang" sound of the sharp blade being unsheathed, and the black poisonous tongue that the sword turned into suddenly swung down. The sudden action of the 'Black Swordsman' made everyone present unresponsive, even the intuitive ability with level A
Saber did not expect that the other party would do such a thing in front of everyone. However, just when everyone thought that Saber would die, the 'Black Swordsman' just put the interpreter in his hand on the opponent's shoulder.
It wasn't completely chopped down.
"Tong...ren." Saber muttered in an incredibly low voice. The two kings beside him looked at this dramatic scene in astonishment.
Kirito was seen using the bangs on his forehead to cover up his cold eyes full of murderous intent, and said coldly: "Stop talking...saber, or even I will use my weapons against you.
"
"Tong...man, can't you even understand me?" Saber ignored the long sword on her shoulder and looked at the 'black swordsman' in front of her in disbelief.
As if unable to conceal his anger, Kirito let out an angry 'hum', and then actually put away the interpreter and put it back into the scabbard behind him. At the same time, he held his right hand in the air, and a black light shone in the air.
Gathered in his hand, it finally turned into a black sword with strange crimson patterns. It was a holy sword that had killed a friend and became a demon sword. The sword was surrounded by black killing intent, as if it was constantly flowing.
Eroding the sword body.
Kirito held the hilt of the sword with both hands and thrust it hard into the ground. The blade of the sword penetrated the ground. Under the moonlight, the blade of the sword seemed to be shining like a lake. It deeply caught King Arthur's eyes. The appearance of this sword immediately made him appear in the ground.
Saber's pupils unnaturally expanded several times.
At this moment, Kirito shouted loudly: "Saber! How dare you say what you just said to this sword again!"
Chapter completed!
