Intruders of the Moon World

Rider asked suspiciously, "Is your wish to 'change history'?"

"Yes, if it is the omnipotent Holy Grail, then even subverting the past can certainly do it!"

"No, no, it's not a question of whether you can do it, but why you should do it. Let me ask first, your hometown was destroyed in your era, right?"

"Yes! Because of this, I can't forgive myself even more! If I could be a more perfect king, maybe not..."

"Pfft...hahahahahahaha!"

The golden-yellow king couldn't help laughing, his long golden hair as soft as silk swayed freely, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.

"...Archer, what are you laughing at?" Saber looked bad.

That was the most cherished thing in her heart, and of course she couldn't stand anyone's wanton ridicule.

"—If only you were a man, little girl! The oldest queen teased so.

"What—" This is a dark history of Saber.

"If you are a man, you are undoubtedly an idiot, and this king can give it up mercilessly. But you are such a lovable beauty...

Well, sure enough, you should be included in the harem!Your honesty will surely shine brightly in the time of destruction! "

Niang licked her lips coquettishly: "I must taste this brilliance!"

"You know that I am the king of a country and still say that?!" The air around Saber twisted, and the magic power on her body was almost condensed into substance!

"Since you are the king of a country, why should you regret what you have done?"

Niang Twinkle suddenly said indifferently: "Saber, you are not suitable to be a 'king'!"

Saber retorted: "Does it mean that you are tyrannical and worthy of being a king?"

The King of Conqueror looked Saber in the eyes: "She was right, Saber..."

"King of Conqueror, even you...why don't you understand me? I just want to save my country and people, is this also wrong?"

"Are you trying to deny everything you've ever done?"

"So what? I failed, the country I gave my life for doesn't exist anymore, so unwilling, mourning... What's wrong with trying to save this?"

"Hey, King of Conquerors, what this little girl is talking about 'dedicated to the country'... Hahaha, it's really... sad and cute."

"Listen, Saber!" The oldest king stood up and looked down at her. "The king is the supreme being, and there is nothing in this world to dedicate his life to. On the contrary, everything must serve the king's selfish desires. !"

"What did you say—" Saber couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

She shouted angrily: "This is a tyrant, Archer! This kind of king is the greatest misfortune of the people!"

"Indeed, we are tyrants." The emperor admitted this fact calmly, "but we did not feel any unwillingness or remorse in the process of governing the country, so Saber, if anyone regrets their era, then she You can only be a fool—worse than a tyrant!"

PS: The twinkle here is young Niang Flash, which is the state of Lolita. It can be called Niang Flash or Young Flash, but everyone seems to have doubts, so they will be called Niang Flash in the future.

Chapter 12 The King's Banquet: The King's Original Heart

Saber frowned and retorted sharply: "Rider, in history, after your death, your empire was divided up by your subordinates, and finally divided into four countries...Aren't you unhappy about this? Don't you have the desire to save the country in your heart?"

"No!" The Conqueror said solemnly.

Standing up his strong physique, he said without hesitation, "Never!"

"This king will never regret his decision, and he has no doubts about his life. If my subjects destroy my empire, it will be their own choice. I will regret it, but I will never stop it!"

"Saber yo...you didn't realize it yet."

The King of Conqueror said sternly: "Subverting your own era is equivalent to denying everything you have created and following your subjects! This is an insult to everyone!"

"...Can't agree, I can't agree with you, Rider!"

Saber sternly said: "The era is not built only by heroes, there are also many civilians, they are weak and powerless, it is the duty of the king to save them."

After a pause, she showed a proud expression: "No, it is precisely because he can save the people that the king is born!"

"Stable rule, good order, sufficient food, strict laws, these are the demands of the people. And I, King Arthur, have created such an ideal city (Gameloh), so I can be sure: I am correct!"

Rider was stunned, and his eyes suddenly became pitiful for Saber: "In other words, you fought so hard to become the 'perfect king' in the hearts of the people...

Abandoning selfish desires, dedicating oneself to the country, never resting... This is not the path that 'people' should choose. "

"Yes... But since I was born to be a king, I gave up my 'human' identity as early as the moment I drew the sword in the stone."

A girl named Artoria, her life ended when the sword in the stone was pulled out of the rock, and since then there has been only the eternal king named "King Arthur".

"The king is an aloof existence. I have experienced the pain and trouble of defeat, and I have tasted the glory of victory, but my belief has not changed. Rider, Archer, you will not understand me, you are just overwhelmed by desire. Just a tyrant of the mind!"

"What nonsense!!!"

Rider hit the ground with a punch, and everyone felt the ground tremble.

He shouted angrily: "The king is not a vase! You don't need anyone's approval, you don't need anyone's appreciation, and you don't need anyone's understanding! The king just needs to show his most stalwart figure, let his subordinates fall, and let the people admire, Let the enemy shudder!"

"Praise life, plunder the richest city in the world, possess the most beautiful woman, lead the most valiant warrior, and see the widest world!"

"King - who else will leave me!"

"Hahaha, it's good to say that the King of Conqueror is just a bastard, but I will admit that you are the king who stands at the top of the times." Gilgamesh raised his glass, and for the first time in this banquet, there was a The act of toasting.

"How is it possible... how can such a king be followed by the people? If he can't promise even the most basic guarantees, why should the people support such a king?" Saber was shaken.

"What the king has to do is to blaze a path ahead, and whether it is correct or not, it is enough to point the way for the people under him.

The king is to live more wonderfully than anyone, more greedy than anyone, more extravagant than anyone - that's why someone wants to be 'like a king', doesn't it? "

The King of Conqueror looked at Saber and said: "Knight King, I admit that you are a perfect and virtuous king. But is there any existence among your subordinates who wants to be you? Your words and deeds are just setting up an unreachable Ideal, let everyone stay away, and finally stay away from you!"

Rider's words sank Saber's strong heart, and when she swayed, it was as if someone had hit her head on.

"I...did I do something wrong?"

Recalling the disintegration of the Knights of the Round Table, as the King of Conqueror said, everyone gradually moved away from themselves. Saber couldn't help but doubt himself, had his own path been wrong all along, did his loneliness lead to the destruction of Britain?

Seeing this scene, Ye Qing frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with the words of the King of Heroes and King of Conquerors.

After all, from his (civilian) point of view, the paths of the three kings have their own greatness, but only Saber truly puts the interests of the country and the people above himself - he is the "people", naturally More respect and more agree with Saber's beliefs.

It is undeniable that the King of Conquerors and the King of Heroes have heart-wrenching personalities, but the idea of ​​the King of Knights is more in line with the image of a perfect ruler.

The simplest multiple choice question: Put the interests of the people above yourself, or put the will of the self above the people?

Saber chose the former, while archer and rider chose the latter, that's all.

Ye Qing was just a citizen who had nothing to do with [rights], and had no say in the king's idea of ​​governing the country.

But precisely because he is a "people", he believes that Saber's path is not wrong.Although it ultimately failed, it was not wrong.

- She shouldn't be treated like this.

After all, Saber at this time was not so much a king, but a collection of seekers, knights, and saints.Although shining, but far away from the world.

Sighing secretly, Ye Qing continued pouring wine for the archer, but in his heart he meditated: "Stargate, I will exchange these 'sacred wine' with you... It's nothing, just asking you to help reproduce a sound. ."

If you pour two more drops of wine, and two less drops, who can notice...even if it's not Ye Qing's own.

Just as Saber was feeling down and doubting herself, a familiar magnetic voice sounded in her mind.

"Artoria..."

She will never forget this voice, because he is not only the person who educated and cultivated himself, but also the prophet and mentor who helped him become a monarch and find the sword of victory.

"Merlin...why?"

She was still wondering why she heard this voice - obviously this man had already left on the eve of the destruction of the round table.

"...Let's think about it again, as long as you draw the sword in front of you, in the end, you will no longer be human..."

Familiar dialogue, that was the last choice she made as a "human" in her life before she became a king, on the day she was about to become a king, before a certain trial.

In a trance, Saber seemed to have returned to that sunny afternoon, that piece of grassland, that stone platform.

How did I answer then?

Oh, right......

"No, there are a lot of people laughing..."

What I saw at that time, their smiles, were really very happy.

"I thought, this must not be wrong."

That's right... I, I was enlightened back then, and I came up with the answer!

It doesn't matter if she is denied or slandered by others, what she seeks is the eternal light that will not be eroded by these filth, and the ideal end will be that these people will never see the splendor.

What if he is not understood, will the king change his beliefs because he is not understood by others! ?

Saber was shocked, the confusion in his eyes faded, and then he became firm again.

Then, she turned to the King of Conqueror and Niang Twink and said proudly: "I am the King of Britain, the Lord of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur - Arturia Pendragon! This Holy Grail War is called by Saber's office, Rider, Archer—"

"—May I ask, do you want to compete with me for the Holy Grail? If so, I will definitely show you the style of the 'King of Eternal Victory'!"

Her awe-inspiring gesture made the other two kings startled, and a strange look appeared in Archer's eyes.

"—Yes, yes, hahaha... The expression has become more like a king, Saber." archer said excitedly, "In the name of the oldest hero, I must make you surrender willingly."

When he came back to his senses, the Conqueror King laughed: "Hahaha, this is worthy of the world-renowned King of Knights. Well, since you are going to compete with me for the Holy Grail, then of course this King will accompany me to the end!"

Chapter 13 The King's Banquet: A Killer of Inhibition

When she was reading the original book in her previous life, Ye Qing felt extremely distressed for Saber, who was denied by the other two kings, and always wanted to do something for her.Today finally got his wish, and he couldn't help feeling gratified.

"Speaking of which, although you are a miscellaneous practitioner, your miscellaneous practitioner didn't flinch on such occasions, and your hand for pouring wine is also very steady... It's quite in line with this king's appetite. Why, just go straight to the future. Serve me, you are barely qualified to serve as a valet." Niang Twinkle smiled at Ye Qing.

Being stared at by her scarlet eyes, Ye Qing only felt her scalp tingle and reluctantly refused: "Sorry, I'm not interested in this."

"Hmph, it is a supreme honor to serve as this king's valet. To give up such a good thing is really just a miscellaneous repair." The Queen said angrily.

But with her arrogant personality, she was not so angry with Ye Qing.

Irisviel, Weber, Ye Qing, the three servants filled the wine glass again.The three kings raised their cups together, and Rider took the lead to say: "After drinking this cup, when we meet again in the future, we will be on the battlefield. We can be merciless, fight as much as possible, and show our own kingship!"
