“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 wine and looking at Artoria and asking.

“However, you don’t know what kind of ending those guys who were saved will eventually usher in, right?”

“You said… What the? ”

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

“I… I… I…”

Artoria covered her head while going back in time…

……

“Naw, Artoria.”

“It’s better for you to think carefully before picking up that thing.”

Face the sword of the king’s choice in front of her, which will determine her fate.

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

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

“You will be hated by all human beings and eventually meet a tragic death.”

Artoria knew very well that once she drew her sword in the stone.

She will no longer be the little girl who studied and trained hard to become a king in the past, but a true king!

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

Even if she is abandoned, betrayed, and scolded, she has no way back.

But 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 is frozen for king.

Wang’s body and appearance 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 he hadn’t pulled out the “sword of king’s choice” in front of him.

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

Or is it a virtuous wife who is a wife and mother?

Or perhaps the people who witnessed the most glorious period 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, it was lost in thought for a long time.

Pull out?

Or don’t pull it out?

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

Disturbing noise, looping infinitely from this moment.

As if he wanted to destroy Artoria’s entire will, it echoed back and forth.

That sword is the beginning of oneself and a harbinger of one’s 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 appeared 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 gritting her teeth and holding it the hilt of the sword in front of her.

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

“Once you pull it out, you can no longer be called a human!”

Suddenly, Merlin’s voice reappeared in his mind.

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

“Hehe, is it no longer human…”

King!

No need for feelings!

This is the way Merlin taught her to be a king!

It 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 think if I could really see that scene, it would not be a bad thing…”

Artoria clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand and slowly pulled it upwards.

“Did you really make a decision?”

“Even if your final fate will be 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 for a while 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.

“…… You are? ”

Suddenly, a voice slowly sounded from behind Artoria.

When I heard the sound, I saw a fifteen-year-old knight girl holding a golden holy sword and covered in blood, looking at herself blankly.

“This ——!?”

Seeing this, Artoria also stepped back in a slight panic for a while.

Because, the knight girl in front of her is none other than Artoria herself, who is “King Arthur”!

“What are you afraid of?”

The blood-stained knight girl walked towards Artoria step by step.

“Obviously I am you, but why should you be afraid of me?”

The blood-stained knight girl said as she raised the holy sword in her hand and aimed it at Artoria’s neck and said, “Go and fight, that’s your accusation.” ”

The next second, the screen turns.

Countless enemies rushed towards their side with hideous faces.

“If you don’t fight, you will die!”

The voice of the blood-stained knight girl sounded in her ears, so that Artoria, who was holding the holy sword, did not know when she had automatically begun to fight.

“Scared?” The knight girl asked.

“Don’t be afraid.” Artoria replied.

“Fear?” The knight girl asked again.

“No fear.” Artoria replied again.

“So, let’s take a look at the next scene…”

With the voice of the knight girl, the surrounding enemies dissipated and turned into ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the scene that appeared before Artoria’s eyes was also near the grassland where she had practiced.

“Naw, do you want bread?”

Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a blue and yellow dress looked at her with a gentle face.
