“Well, I’ll answer any question that’s not a special one.”

Artoria was also relieved to hear Arthur’s words, after all, she could answer just some questions, but she didn’t know that Arthur was asking exactly what she didn’t want to touch.

“Then, I started asking, I only have three questions, please answer them seriously.”

Arthur’s smile disappeared, and he said to Artoria in a serious and majestic tone, now he is asking questions in the capacity of King Arthur, and the majesty of the king is naturally indispensable.

Looking at the serious Arthur, Artoria also knew his seriousness, and Artoria straightened her waist and looked at Arthur with the same majestic and spiritual gaze.

“So, first question, where is your Knights of the Round Table!”

Arthur used the height advantage of his height to look at Artoria condescendingly, in order to increase his oppressive force.

“All extinguished…”

Artoria’s answer was slow, her tone filled with a sense of decline, but Arthur didn’t stop his inquiry, and he continued with his second question.

“So, what’s going on with Lancelot, and what about your sword in the stone?”

“Lancelot was the beginning of the fall of my Knights… And my sword in the stone… Broken. ”

Artoria’s tone became even lowered, and every question Arthur asked was like a knife, peeling open her wounds one by one, and she even felt that the pain was far more painful now than when she fought Lancer and Lancelot.

“…… Last question, what wish do you want to make to the Holy Grail!! ”

Arthur also hesitated a little when asking the last question, he knew that he had hurt the girl in front of him, but he would not stop asking, although this behavior was not in line with the virtues of a knight, but before being a knight he was king, King Arthur of Great Britain, so he had to ask his question to the girl who was also king before.

“I want to change the fate of Britain!!!”

After hearing Arthur’s last question, Artoria’s boredom was swept away, and she said to Arthur in a confident and high-spirited tone, that Artoria thought that her dream would be recognized, that she thought that her dream was simply great.

But Arthur didn’t do what she had imagined, but instead sighed in disappointment.

“Artoria, we are really different, you were a knight before you became a king, and I was a king before I became a knight, this is our biggest difference and your biggest mistake… And, Artoria, give up your wish… History cannot be tampered with, do you know what will happen if you change it? ”

“Your actions will change the way this world works, not to mention whether the Grail will allow you to go to the past, even if you go back to Alaya will stop your actions, because your actions may make countless people who originally existed in this world disappear, so give up… Alas”

Arthur sighed helplessly after saying these words, he originally thought that he and Artoria should be very similar, but he didn’t expect that he thought wrong, he and this girl named Artoria were completely two people, except for the clothing, there were not even more similarities between them.

And after listening to Arthur’s words, Artoria’s hands clenched, her eyes were full of unwillingness, she didn’t expect how fragile her wishes were, and she couldn’t refute them at all under Arthur’s words, because she knew… Arthur would not lie to her, because Arthur was a true knight, and the most basic requirement of a knight was honesty, and Arthur, as a king, had no reason to deceive her.

“Artoria, let me ask you a few more questions, if you can answer these questions accurately, I think you should also know what you have to do, then, do you accept the answer?”

Looking at Artoria like this, Arthur couldn’t bear it anymore, and he decided to act as a counselor to enlighten the little girl in front of him.

“Yes, but Arthur, can you let me ask you a few questions first?”

Artoria calmed down and asked Arthur, wondering how Arthur would solve these problems.

“Then I asked. Arthur, have you ever regretted becoming King Arthur? ”

“Never.”

“What would happen to you if your knight betrayed you?”

“Kill.”

“What would you do if your knight fornicated with your queen?”

“Hang two people in the largest square, and hang their bodies on the walls.”

“If you had a child with your sister, you would treat him like this.”

“Raise him as my heir.”

Arthur did not hesitate in the slightest for Artoria’s question, and he directly said his answer.

“Why…”

“For I am king, and I am king of Britain.”

Arthur’s answer silenced Artoria… Because Arthur answered the exact opposite of what she did, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was doing the right thing or wrong, and if she did the same thing Arthur answered, could she be a king like him?

“Artoria, I ask you, are you a knight, or a king?”

Looking at the low Artoria, Arthur knew that it was time to enlighten her… Even Arthur didn’t expect that he would actually have an enlightening day, these things were done by Belvede, who was the confidant sister of the Knights of the Round Table before.

“Me? Of course I’m a knight! ”

Artoria was stunned by the sudden question, but she still subconsciously answered Arthur’s question.

“Artoria, you are the king, and you are the king above all nations. But in your heart, you always think that you are a knight, and even when you were king, you still used the rules of knighthood to bind yourself. ”

“Yes, isn’t that right?”

“So, Artoria, being is the biggest difference between you and the king, what is a king? There are too many answers to this question, each king has his own royal way, and all the king has to do is to go down his own royal road without regrets, even if it is an abyss in front of him, then jump. And you, you don’t have your own royal way, you just use yourself as a knight, and you just want to protect your country like a knight, not rule your country like a king. ”

“What is the royal way?”

“Wang Dao is simply the goal you set for yourself in your heart, and you are because you don’t have your own goal, you only have protection, you don’t know what you can do besides guarding, so you will ask me those questions just now, because you are afraid that you have done something wrong that will cause the things you protect to be destroyed, but you don’t know that you are more likely to destroy what you are guarding.”

Arthur answered Artoria’s questions carefully, and if Artoria had asked about Shining and the King of Conquer, they might have glanced at Artoria with disdain and ignored her.

As Arthur’s answer brightened Artoria’s eyes, she found in Arthur’s answer what she didn’t have, and she was really happy now. But the question had to continue, because she still didn’t know what her path was.

“And what is Arthur, your kingly way?”

“Oh my… My royal way is…”
