Chapter 68 The Overbearing King ([-]rd update)
Until now, Saber finally understood why the atmosphere between the two was so strange, and the scene fell silent for a while.
"Ah, Saber, I want to confirm... the destruction of Britain should have happened in your era, right? When you ruled?"
"Yes! So I can't forgive myself."
When Saber heard the words, her tone became firmer.
"So I'm not reconciled, I want to change that ending! It's because of me that led to that ending..."
Inadvertently, someone laughed, it was a vulgar laughter that ignored any understanding, and this continuous laughter came from Archer's mouth that exuded golden brilliance.
Facing the great humiliation, Saber's face was full of anger, and Archer laughed at her most cherished thing.
The King of Knights has established an enemy.
"...Archer, what's so funny!?"
Not minding Saber's anger, the golden hero replied intermittently while laughing.
"Calling himself a king, and being called a king by everyone, this kind of person actually said that he "regrets"? How can this not make me laugh?"
Beside Archer who kept laughing, Rider also frowned, looking at Saber with some displeasure.
"Wait...you wait for the Knight King first, do you want to deny the history you created?"
Saber, who has never had any doubts about his ideals, will naturally not be questioned by him at this moment.
"Exactly, are you surprised? Is it ridiculous? As a king, the country I dedicated my life to has been destroyed. I mourn, what's wrong? Why are you laughing?"
"Hey, did you hear that? Rider, this little girl who claims to be the Knight King just said something about dedicating herself to the country!"
Archer was laughing all the time, he didn't stop.
The answer to Archer was Rider's gradually deepening silence, to Saber, it was 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."
"No, you are wrong."
Rider resolutely and seriously denied her words.
"It is not the king who sacrifices himself, but the country and the people who dedicate their everything to the king. Make no mistake about this."
"What did you say?!"
Saber couldn't hold back her anger any longer, she shouted.
"Isn't that a tyrant! Rider, Archer, it's a big mistake for you to be king like this!"
"True, but we're not just tyrants, we're heroes."
Rider replied calmly, without even moving his eyebrows.
"So Saber, if there is a king who is not satisfied with the results of his own governance of the country, it can only mean that he is a stupid king, worse than a tyrant."
Unlike Archer who kept laughing, Rider fundamentally denied her. Saber frowned and retorted in a sharp tone.
"Iskandar, you... the empire you created was finally divided into four parts. Are you really not unhappy about this? Don't you want to do it all over again and save the country?"
"Do not want to."
The King of Conquerors replied without hesitation.
"If my decision and my courtiers lead to such a result, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and shed tears, but I will never regret it."
"how come……"
"Not to mention the attempt to subvert history! This kind of stupid behavior is an insult to all the human beings in the era I built!"
Saber denied Rider's arrogant words.
"You say that only based on the glory of warriors. The people don't think so. What they need is salvation."
"You mean they want the king's salvation?"
The King of Conquerors 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 Saber's turn to speak proudly.
"Right rule, right order, this is what all subjects look forward to."
"So you're making the 'right' effort?"
"You can say that as much as you want. Only by dedicating yourself to your ideals can you be worthy of being a king."
Rider shook his head, glanced at Archer who had stopped laughing but still maintained a mocking smile, and then turned his gaze to Xia Qing's side.
