I, Who Saved Xingyue, Became the Master of Xingyue

The Master who dominates Berserker has exhausted a lot of power, Caster is facing threats from all sides and even the workshop has been destroyed.These two groups of people, just wait for them to fend for themselves.

Gilgamesh will not lose to the injured Arturia, Diarmuid is still unscathed, but his original Master withdrew due to serious injuries.He is no longer afraid of being commanded by a low-ranking magician.

In other words, there was no need for Assassin to monitor the four groups of people other than Rider.

No, in fact, Tosaka Tokiomi is still very worried about SA-VER, as well as Rin's Servant.These two Servants gave Tohsaka Tokiomi an extremely dangerous feeling, but Gilgamesh had already warned himself, so Tohsaka Tokiomi has not made any outrageous actions against SA-VER so far.

But unexpectedly, Einzbern actually hid two Servants.

"...Now, we still need to try that."

"I see. I see."

Needless to say, Kirei on the communicator had already understood Tokiomi's intentions.

In order to grasp the precious information, Assassin can now be sent to test.

Now that Iskandar and his Master were having a banquet unsuspectingly, it was a good opportunity to make a surprise attack.At this time, what matters is not victory, but the difference in combat power between the enemy and ourselves.It would be best if Iskandar could be dealt with smoothly, even if he couldn't, it would be enough if he could be cornered and forced to use his strongest trick.

"I'm afraid it will take about 10 minutes to gather all the Assassins."

"Very well, order. Although this is a big gamble, luckily we have nothing to lose even if we fail."

To Tokiomi, the Assassin was just one of the means used to capture the Holy Grail, a tool that was thrown away after it was used.This understanding was also fully reflected in his disciple Kotomine Kirei.

After Tokiomi finished speaking, he changed his sitting position and poured another cup of tea into the cup at the same time.He sniffed the black tea happily and waited for the results of the actions he had ordered.

After Artoria finished speaking resolutely, everyone was silent for a long time.

It was Artoria herself who was the first to feel puzzled in the silence.

Even if her words were full of momentum, the other party was not someone who would bow his head easily.Even if these words are unexpected, they are very easy to understand.

It's clear and there's nothing weird about it.This is her royal way.Whether it is a compliment or a rebuttal, someone should raise it immediately.But—no one spoke.

"—I said, Knight King, I must have heard it wrong."

Iskandar finally broke the silence, and for some reason, his face was full of doubts.

"You mean to 'change fate'? That is to overturn history?"

"Yes. No matter how elusive a wish may be, as long as you have the almighty Holy Grail, it will definitely come true—"

Arturia asserted proudly.Until now, Arturia finally understood why the atmosphere between the two was so strange——the scene suddenly turned cold.

"Ah, Saber? I want to make sure... the destruction of Britain should have happened in your era, right? When you ruled?"

"Yes! So I can't forgive myself."

Artoria heard the words, her tone became firmer.

"So I'm not reconciled and want to change that ending! It's because of me that I led to that ending..."

Suddenly, someone burst out laughing.It was a vulgar laughter that disregarded any understanding, and this laughter came from the mouth of Gilgamesh, who radiated golden light.

Facing this great humiliation, Artoria's face was full of anger.Her most cherished thing was actually laughed at by Gilgamesh.

"...Archer, what's so funny."

Not minding Artoria's anger, the Golden Heroic Spirit replied intermittently while laughing:

"—Professing to be a king—being praised by all people—such a person, how can he still be 'unreconciled'? Ha! How can this make people not laugh? A masterpiece! Saber, you are the best clown!"

Beside the smiling Gilgamesh, Iskandar also frowned and looked at Artoria with some displeasure.

"Wait—wait for the King of Knights first, do you want to deny the history you created?"

Arturia, who had never had any doubts about her ideals, would naturally not be overwhelmed by him at this moment.

"Exactly. Is it surprising? Is it ridiculous? As a king, the country I dedicated my life to has been destroyed. I mourn, what's wrong?"

What answered her was another burst of laughter from Gilgamesh.

"Hey, did you hear Rider! This little girl who claims to be the King of Knights... actually said 'dedicate her life to the country'!"

The answer to Gilgamesh was Iskandar's gradually deepening silence.This is for Artoria.It's the same insult as being laughed at. "I don't know what's so funny. As a king, you should stand up and work hard for the prosperity of your country!"

"you are wrong."

Rider firmly and solemnly denied her words.

"It is not the king who sacrifices himself, but the country and the people who dedicate everything to the king. Don't get this wrong."

"What did you say--"

Artoria couldn't hold back her anger anymore, she shouted loudly.

"—Isn't that a tyrant! Rider, Archer, it's a big mistake for you to be such a king!"

"Indeed. But we're not just tyrants, we're heroes."

Iskandar replied calmly, without even moving an eyebrow.

"So Saber, if there is a king who is dissatisfied with the results of his governance of the country, it can only mean that he is a fool, worse than a tyrant."

Tianyang pursed his lips. Tianyang didn't want to say anything more about this kingly debate. After all, Tianyang thought that he was more suitable to be a warrior than to be a king, and the king was really not suitable for him. Secondly, the different Kings have different ways of kingship, Tianyang is not qualified to comment on other people's ways of kingship, nor does he have this qualification, and it is simply absurd to want different ways of kingship to coexist, the noble way of kingship of the Knight King is absolutely impossible and conquer The domineering kingly way of the king and the hero king coexist, since they can't coexist, then how can you let the other party recognize your kingly way?

This debate was doomed from the start.

Unlike Gilgamesh who kept mocking Arturia, the King of Conquerors fundamentally denied her.Artoria furrowed her eyebrows and retorted in a sharp tone:

"Iskandar, you... the empire you created was finally split into four parts. Are you really not unwilling to do this? Don't you want to do it all over again and save the country?"

"Do not want to."

The King of Conquerors replied immediately, holding his chest out, looking directly into the stern gaze of the King of Knights.

"If my decision and my courtiers lead to this, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and cry, but I will never regret it."

"how come……"

"Not to mention trying to subvert history! This stupid behavior is an insult to all the human beings in the era I built!"

Regarding Iskandar's proud words, Arturia denied:

"You're just saying this based on the glory of the warrior. The people don't think so, what they need is salvation."

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

Iskandar shrugged and laughed.

"I don't understand! What's the point of this kind of thing?"

"This is the duty of a king!"

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

"Right rule, right order, this is what all subjects expect."

"So you're the 'right' slave?"

"You can say that. Dedicating your life to your ideals is worthy of being a king."

Without a trace of doubt, the young knight king nodded.

"Through the king, people can understand law and order. The king should not embody something that goes away with the king's death, but something more noble."

Looking at Artoria who was still determined, Iskandar shook his head as if pitying her.

"It's not a path of survival that a man would choose."

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

In order to become the perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of ideals, she is willing to give up her body and throw away her personal relationships.The life of a girl named Arturia changed completely the moment she pulled that sword out of the rock.Since then, she has become synonymous with undefeated legends, hymns and dreams.

There has been pain, there has been trouble, but it contains the glory of victory.The belief that will never change supports her sword-holding arm to this day.

"Conqueror, a self-absorbed person like you will not understand my beliefs. You are just a bully driven by desire!"

Arturia snapped.Iskandar who was scolded immediately opened his eyes wide.

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

Iskandar's yelling and his huge size made him even more terrifying.

"Saber, you just said 'dedicate yourself to your ideals'. Indeed, you used to be a clean saint, unparalleled in holiness. But who would expect to be martyred for an ideal? Who would think day and night for the so-called saint , can only comfort the people, but cannot guide the people. Only by showing desire and sing-along the most glorious glory, can the country and the people be led to the right path.”

After drinking the wine in the cup, the Conqueror King then corrected.

"As a king, you must have stronger desires than anyone, be bolder than anyone, and be more irritable than anyone. He should be a human who contains purity and turbidity, and is more real than anyone. Only in this way , Only the ministers can be convinced by the king, and the people will have the longing of 'If only I were the king'!"

Chapter 60 The King's Banquet ([-])

"As a king, you must have stronger desires than anyone, be bolder than anyone, and be more irritable than anyone. He should be a human who contains purity and turbidity, and is more real than anyone. Only in this way , Only the ministers can be convinced by the king, and the people will have the longing of 'If only I were the king'!"

"Such governance... so where's the justice?"

"No. There is no justice in the way of kings, so there is no remorse."

"..."

He asserted too bluntly, and Arturia was beyond angry.

Both are based on making the people happy, but their ideas are far from one another.

On one side is praying for peace.

On one side is hope for prosperity.

The king who suppressed the chaotic world and the king who caused the chaos of war naturally couldn't have the same philosophy.

Iskandar smiled and spoke heartily.

"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 passed down to this day. However, what happened to those who were saved? You don't know it, do you."

"What did you say?"

Bloody Sunset Hill.

That scene revived in Artoria's mind again.

"You keep 'saving' your subjects, but you never 'guidance' them. They don't know what the 'king's desire' is. You leave your lost subjects behind, and you stand alone in a holy gesture for your own So you are not qualified to be a king. You just want to be a 'king' who thinks about the people, a little girl who is bound in a cocoon in order to become that kind of idol."

"I……"
