Chapter 0079 – Blood Stained Sunset Hill, King Does Not Understand People’s Hearts!!

“I decide, Rider!”

Suddenly, Gilgamesh raised his head and looked at each other with his own dark eyes.

“-I will kill you with my own hands.”

“Hahaha, it’s a little too arrogant to say such things now, right?”

Iskandar grinned, undaunted by Gilgamesh’s threat, but took a leisurely sip of the wine in his glass.

“You should also become enlightened as soon as possible, not only the Holy Grail, but I also plan to loot the treasures in your treasury.”

Such a delicious wine actually made him drink it by the king of conquest, Gilgamesh this guy is really too careless…

“You guys…”

But at this time, although there was another person who participated in the wine banquet, he had not shown a smile ~ so far.

Artoria, who attended the banquet, never found room to interject in the conversation between Gilgamesh and Iskander.

The [Way of Kings] that these two people talked about was far from the [Way of Kings] that she believed in.

So, she couldn’t talk to them at all. – Only at your own will!

This is not an idea that a king should have.

In Artoria’s view, who believes in ‘incorruptibility’, Gilgamesh and Iskandar are just a ‘tyrant’.

No matter how strong the other party is, there is an unyielding fighting spirit burning in Artoria’s heart.

Only these two are opponents who cannot lose on their own.

The Grail must not be given to them.

Gilgamesh’s words made no sense at all, and Iskander’s wishes could only be seen as the wishes of a ‘warrior’.

Moreover, the desire they have is only the beginning of [desire] as ‘human beings’.

Compared with their wishes, Artoria’s heart’s wishes seem to be more ‘great’ and ‘holy’…

“By the way, Knight King, what is your wish?”

At this time, Iskandar finally set her eyes on Artoria, and no matter when, the desire in her heart never wavered.

Because……

That was the past she had to carry!

“My way of kings is my pride…”

Artoria raised her head, looked directly at the two followers in front of her and said, “I want to save my homeland and change the fate of the fall of the British Empire!” ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence.

Even Gilgamesh, who originally planned to ridicule Artoria, subconsciously fell silent.

Save your homeland?

It doesn’t sound like there’s anything wrong.

But the problem lies in Artoria’s desire to change [the fate of the fall of the British Empire].

You know, Artoria is not mortal.

But a hero who is admired by everyone!

From ancient times to the present, Artoria, who has connected the identity of countless people, connected to the appreciation of countless people, and watched the aspirations of countless people have been sublimated into heroic spirits.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, it is said that he wants to change the fate of the demise of the British Empire? This kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, seems very weird.

As for the people present, the main reason why they sat silent.

It’s not that Artoria made such an earth-shattering statement.

It is because Artoria’s statement is really stupid in the eyes of Gilgamesh and others.

I don’t know how long it took, and finally someone spoke up to break the silent atmosphere.

“I said… Knight King, it can’t be that I heard it wrong, right? ”

I don’t know why, when he said this, Iskander’s face was full of doubt.

“Are you trying to ‘change your destiny’? In other words, you want to subvert history and keep the British Empire alive? ”

“Yes!”

Hearing this, Artoria proudly asserted and said with a smile: “No matter how difficult the wish is, as long as you have the almighty Holy Grail, you will definitely be able to achieve it——”

So far, Artoria finally knew.

Why is the atmosphere between Gilgamesh and Iskandar so wonderful?

It was precisely because the two had exchanged their own principles as kings before that the atmosphere between the two of them became so wonderful.

At this time, Artoria also made the same move, but did not expect that the distance between the two and the two became more distant.

“That, Saber, I want to confirm…”

In the next second when Artoria said this, the scene instantly became cold.

“That period of the destruction of the British Empire should have been a matter of your time, right? The reigning monarch at that time should also be you, right? ”

“Yes, that’s why I can’t forgive myself!”

Hearing this, Artoria’s tone became more firm.

“So I’m very unwilling, I want to change that ending!”

“The tragic end that came because of me…”

Just as Artoria was saying this, someone suddenly burst into laughter.

“Huhahaha——!”

It was a kind of laughter that was so vulgar that it didn’t care about any understanding.

Artoria was also very annoyed by this laughter.

However, the source of this laughter came from the mouth of Gilgamesh, who exuded a golden brilliance.

“Archer……”

Faced with this great humiliation, Artoria’s face was full of anger.

Because……

The thing she cherished the most was actually ridiculed by Gilgamesh, which was absolutely intolerable for Artoria!

“I don’t understand, what the hell is so funny about this…”

Artoria asked as she looked angrily at Gilgamesh.

Feeling Artoria’s anger, Gilgamesh covered his stomach without care, laughing while replying intermittently: “Hahaha, claiming to be a king – praised by all the people – such a person actually feels ‘unworthy’?” ”

“Hah! How can this not make people laugh? What a masterpiece! Saber, you’re the best clown! ”

While Gilgamesh was laughing, Iskandar, who was sitting on the other side of her, also frowned, looked at Artoria with some displeasure and said: “Wait, you wait for the knight king first, do you want to deny the history you have created?” ”

Iskandar really can’t understand Artoria’s statement.

No!

Perhaps more accurately, as long as it is a king, he cannot understand Artoria’s thoughts at this time!

As a king praised by thousands of people, he wants to deny his past? Leaving aside his and Gilgamesh’s opinions, let’s not mention them for the time being.

Just since the beginning, Yi Cheng and his group, who had been frantically showing affection, also glanced at Artoria with some sympathy.

This extremely ignorant statement actually came from the mouth of the famous ‘Knight King’ Artoria.

This made Iskandar himself, who was the ‘conqueror king’, also couldn’t help but feel a burst of annoyance.

“Exactly.”

Artoria held her head high and said a little sadly: “Surprised? Is it ridiculous? ”

“As king, the nation for which I gave my life was destroyed.”

“I mourn, what’s wrong?”

However, this time the object of answering Artoria’s question was Gilgamesh, who was laughing maniacally.

“Hey, hey, do you hear that, Rider!”

“This little girl who claims to be the Knight King… What do you say about ‘dedication to the country’? ”

“Isn’t that ridiculous!?”

Unlike Gilgamesh’s ridicule of Artoria, Iskandar fell into a long-lost silence.

However, this is the same insult to Artoria as being ridiculed.

“I don’t understand what’s funny about that.”

Artoria clenched her hands, her tone slightly agitated.

“As a king, you should naturally stand up and work for the prosperity of your country!”

“You’re wrong!”

Iskandar firmly and solemnly rejected Artoria’s statement.

“It is not the king who sacrifices his life for the country, but the country and the people who give everything they have to the king, don’t be mistaken…”

“What do you say——!?

At this moment, Artoria could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

She shouted loudly, “Isn’t that a tyrant!? Rider, Archer, it’s a big mistake for you to be king! ”

“Indeed.”

Iskandar replied calmly.

“But we are not just tyrants, but heroes.”

“So Saber, if there is a king who is not satisfied with the results of his own governance of the country.”

“That only shows that he is a king who is worse than a tyrant than a comatose king.”

Unlike Gilgamesh, who constantly laughs at Artoria.

Iskandar fundamentally rejected her royal ways.

Hearing this, Artoria frowned and retorted in a sharp tone.

“Iskander, you… The empire you created was eventually split into four parts. ”

“Don’t you really have a little bad heart for this?”

“Don’t you want to save your country again?”

Artoria looked at Iskandar with some hatred, hoping to get an affirmative answer from his mouth.

“Don’t want to.”

Iskandar answered Artoria without thinking.

“If my decision and my courtiers had led to such a result, then destruction was inevitable.”

“I will mourn and I will shed tears, but I will definitely not regret it.”

Because only in this way is he the most famous conqueror Alexander Iskandar in history!

“How could it be…”

Artoria’s shoulders trembled subconsciously.

“Not to mention attempts to subvert history!”

“This foolish act is the greatest insult to all human beings in the era I have constructed!”

For Iskandar’s proud words, Artoria forcibly endured the oppression in her heart and denied it.

“You say this just based on the glory of the warrior.”

“The people don’t think that, what they need is salvation.”

Iskandar: “? ”

Faced with Artoria pressing closer, Iskandar just wanted to put a question mark and scold her.

“Are you saying they want the king’s salvation?”

Iskandar shrugged his shoulders and shook his head dumbly: “I don’t understand, is there any point in this kind of thing?” ”

“This is the duty of a king!”

This time it was Artoria’s turn to speak proudly: “Right rule, right order, this is what all subjects expect.” ”

“So are you a slave named ‘Right’?”

Iskandar smiled back without anger.

“You can say so, those who dedicate their lives to ideals deserve to be called kings.”

Without the slightest doubt, the young knight king nodded indifferently.

“Through the king, people were able to learn about law and order.”

“The king should not embody something that will disappear with the king’s death, but a spirit that is more noble.”

Looking at Artoria, who was still resolute, Iskandar, who was sitting on the side, shook his head as if he was pitying her.

“This is not a path of survival that people will choose.”

“Yes.”

Artoria nodded and did not deny Iskandar’s statement.

“Since you were born king, you can’t expect to live the life of an ordinary person.”

In order to become the perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of ideals, she is willing to give up her body, throw away her personal affairs, and become a ruthless king who serves only the people and the country.

The life of the girl named ‘Artoria’ was completely changed the moment she pulled the sword out of the rock.

Since then, she has become an ‘undefeated legend’! The spokesperson for words such as ‘hymn’ ‘dreamy’.

There have been pains, there have been troubles…

But what is contained in it is the glory of victory.

A belief that never changes.

and the arm that still supports her sword to this day.

“King of Conquer, people like you who care only about themselves will not understand my beliefs.”

“You’re just a tyrant carried away by desire!”

Artoria scolded the other sharply.

However, Iskander, who was reprimanded by Artoria, immediately opened his eyes and said with displeasure: “A king without desire is better than a vase.” ”

Iskander’s roar, combined with his huge body, made him feel even more terrifying.

“O king in 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…”

Iskandar said, taking another sip of the wine in his hand, looking at Artoria and asking rhetorically.

“However, you must not know what kind of ending those guys who were saved by you in the end, right?”

“You said… What the? ”

In an instant, the scene of blood staining the Sunset Hill also appeared in Artoria’s mind.

Once again, she fell into a memory called ‘pain’.

“I… I…… I…”

Artoria covered her head with her hands while going back in time…

Go back in time to the day of [The Day of King’s Chosen].

“Naw, Artoria.”

“Before you pick up that thing, it’s better to think about it carefully. Face the sword of the king’s choice in front of her, which will determine her fate. ”

In Artoria’s mind, Merlin’s exhortation sounded again.

“Once you pick up that sword, you won’t be human until the end.”

“You will be hated by all humans and usher in a tragic death at the end, Artoria knows very well once the sword in the stone is drawn.”

She will no longer be the little girl who used to study, train and fight hard to become king.

But a true king!

In order to protect the people, his sword will be stained with blood.

Even if abandoned, betrayed, and cursed, she will have no turning back.

However……

Even so, he still did not hesitate at the beginning, as if everything was so taken for granted, he pulled out the ‘golden sword of victory’.

From now on, the river of time freezes for king.

Wang’s body and face stopped growing and aging, and stayed forever at the moment of fifteen.

But at the same time, the girl named ‘Artoria’ also lost her right to live for herself.

Whenever she thinks of this, Artoria’s first emotion is either sadness or confusion.

If, if he hadn’t pulled out this ‘sword of king’s choice’ in front of him.

So is she still the same lively little girl as before?

Or a virtuous wife who is a wife and mother?

Or a people who witnessed the most glorious moments of the British Empire?

Look at the sword of King’s Choice in front of him, which seems to have been created for himself.

Artoria did not hesitate to pull it out of the rock, as she had done at the beginning.

Instead, he fell into deep thought for a long time.

Pull out?

Or don’t pull it out?

For a while, such thoughts kept surrounding Artoria’s mind.

The disturbing noise also loops infinitely at this moment.

As if trying to completely destroy Artoria’s entire will, it continued to circulate.

That sword…

It is both the beginning and the harbinger of its own end.

However, at such a time, if he did not draw the sword.

How will the British Empire change?

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying thought also surfaced in Artoria’s mind.

The final result of not drawing the sword of King’s Choice is the early demise of the British Empire.

And all the people will become slaves of other nations!

Thinking of this, Artoria couldn’t help but clench her teeth and squeeze the hilt of the sword in front of her hard.

“Do you really want to pull out that sword?”

Suddenly, from Artoria’s mind, Merlin’s voice reappeared.

“Once you draw that sword, you can no longer be called human.”

However, the voice that emerged this time was much more excited than before.

“Hehe, is it no longer human…”

King!

No need for feelings!

This is the way of ‘king’ that Merlin taught her!

This is also the main reason why Tristan later evaluated her as a “king who does not understand people’s hearts”.

“When I touched this sword, I saw the happy smiles of countless people.”

“I thought, if only everything I saw could become a reality.”

“Then the decision I made must not be a bad thing… Artoria clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand and slowly pulled it upwards. ”

“Are you really ready to enlighten?”

“Even if your final fate is a very tragic ending, are you determined to draw this sword?”

With the sound of Merlin’s voice, the scene of blood staining the sunset hill resurfaced in front of Artoria’s eyes.

Countless spears, swords and the corpses of knights are paved with blood-stained hills.

It’s so desperate, and it’s so painful.

The culprit for all this is none other than someone else.

It is the child of himself and his sister Morgan Le Fay, a rebellious knight Mordred!
