Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"Berserker, did you just say that you once obtained the Holy Grail?"

"That's right... After all, there is more to the Holy Grail War than just this one, and it doesn't just take place in this place..."

"So the Holy Grail is really a wish-granting machine that can fulfill wishes?"

Everyone held their breath and listened to Shinji's next words, because to be honest, no one had ever seen the Holy Grail, and Gilgamesh didn't even remember that he had such a thing.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Shinji finally spoke:

"...You could say that... the essence of the Holy Grail is still a product of magic. It can accomplish many things that go against common sense, but the premise is that they can only be accomplished by magic..."

"For example, Rider, if you wish to conquer the world, such a vague wish will not come true, but if you want to obtain a body, it will be very easy."

"So it is essentially just a huge container of magic power..."

"That's why magicians pursue the Holy Grail, because its enormous magic power can reach the root."

The other Heroic Spirits standing by didn't feel too much, thinking it didn't sound like a big deal, but Irisviel and Waver were sweating profusely...

Are these things they can listen to?

Especially since Waver had only a limited knowledge of the Holy Grail War when he came to participate in it, he was shocked when he heard about the root cause.

“…I see. I didn’t expect I had such a treasure. I guess I’ll have to look through my treasures when I have free time!”

Hearing this, Shinji immediately put on a dead fish eye. This guy started showing off his wealth again...

However, although the Holy Grail that Gilgamesh can take out in this state is definitely not as good as this version, it might cause some trouble if he really finds it.

"I didn't realize you've won a Holy Grail War, Berserker... Now that I think about it, I'm kind of looking forward to fighting you!"

"Hey! Zaxiu, I want to take this bastard's life with my own hands. If you interfere, don't blame me for killing you first."

"Don't be so stingy. It's a rare opportunity to come here and fight with strong men from different eras. How can you keep such a good thing to yourself?"

The two kings exchanged glances, both sides were full of momentum, neither of them gave in, and there were faint sparks flashing where their eyes met... As if it was the legendary Shura Field!

"…Come on Saber, let's clink glasses."

"Hmm? Oh..."

The real guy at this time just ignored the two people's nonsense... What a joke, it would be nice if two beautiful girls were really competing for his favor.

But these two men were vying to kill him, which made it hard for him to get interested...

After a moment's stalemate, the two men simultaneously looked away. After all, now was not the time to fight. It was a rare opportunity to drink wine and talk about heroes, and it couldn't be ruined like this.

The emperor took another gulp of wine and turned his gaze to Saber again:

"So, Knight King...what is your ideal?"

Saber put down the wine glass, her face full of seriousness, and a hint of loneliness was revealed in her serious expression.

"I...want to save my hometown."

"Use the power of the Holy Grail to change the fate of Camelot's destruction."

"…The changes you're talking about don't mean to overturn history, do you?"

"Yes, my country was destroyed by my hands, so I regret it... But if it is the Holy Grail, it can definitely change the fate of Britain!"

“Hehe…hahahahaha!”

"Hey! Archer! What's so funny?"

“…You call yourself the king, and the world acknowledges you as the king, but in the end you regret becoming the king. How can I not laugh…hahahaha!”

The King of Conquerors had a serious look on his face:

"Saber, are you denying the history you wrote..."

"…Isn't that right? Why are you laughing? Why are you shocked?"

"Isn't it the duty of a king to sacrifice his life for his country? I failed to protect Britain. This is my dereliction of duty..."

"Hahahaha! How can a guy like you become king? Don't make me laugh!"

"What the hell are you laughing at!"

“… Saber, it is not the king who sacrifices himself for the country, but the country and the people who sacrifice themselves for the king. This cannot be confused…”

"What are you talking about... If that happens, wouldn't that make you a tyrant?"

"That's right!"

"But we became heroes precisely because of the rule of a tyrant. If a king regrets his own rule and the outcome of his country, he is a tyrant...even worse than a tyrant!"

"… King of Conquerors Iskandar… Didn't you also lose your country in your own hands? Don't you regret it?"

"Of course I don't regret it! Because that is the history that my subjects and I created together. Even if we fail, it is understandable."

"Therefore, I will never regret it, let alone think about overthrowing him, otherwise it will be an insult to me and my subjects!"

"…It is clear that the people can be made happy through correct governance and guidance, and the king should protect the weak…"

"King of Conquerors... You who only want to obtain a body through the Holy Grail will not understand me..."

"…You may have achieved something, but so what? A king without ambition will only lead the country to ruin…"

"A so-called king is one who has greater ambitions than anyone else, laughs more readily than anyone else, and gets angry more easily than anyone else. He has reached the highest point in both good and evil. Only then will the ministers envy and be attracted to the king."

"My king who takes pride in being a knight, the justice and ideals you speak of may save the country and the people in the short term. However, you know what the end will be for those who are just waiting for help, without me telling you..."

"You have only been saving your subjects, but you have not been leading them. You have not shown the desire that a king should have, and you have not abandoned your subjects who have lost themselves."

"So you are not a real king, but a little girl who is obsessed with the image of a king and not for herself but for others!"

"..."

Under the Emperor's barrage of attacks, Artoria's heart became unstable...

His eyes trembled violently, and his mind once again recalled the ruined royal city, the bloody battlefield, and the lonely king.

"Actually, there's no need to be so absolute..."

Shinji, who was sitting nearby drinking and watching the show, finally couldn't help but interrupt. Although he was not the king and didn't have much say on this topic, he felt a little distressed when he saw Saber's pitiful appearance.

Facing the gazes of the three kings, Shinji remained calm, put down his wine glass and said seriously:

"No matter how reasonable your words are, King of Conquerors, they are only your personal opinions. Everyone is different, so naturally there will be different solutions."

"And Saber, you were wrong from the beginning."

"…What's the meaning?"

"You hope to become a wise ruler, but the two rulers in front of you are both tyrants. Their ideas are not suitable for you..."

Saber's dim eyes lit up again after hearing this. Her own actions and beliefs were denigrated, but at least... there were still people willing to support her...

“…I would like to hear more details.”
