"Lancer, this king wants to dedicate himself to the so-called ideal, what do you think?"
Cu Chulainn replied seriously after hearing the words.
"People can understand law and order through the king. What the king embodies is not something that will disappear with the death of the king, but something more noble. Such a king is really a blessing for the subjects!"
Rider was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
"It is true that such a king is indeed an ideal king for his subjects, but... this is not the way of life that people would choose."
Saber replied immediately.
"Yes, since you were born to be a king, you can't expect to live the life of an ordinary person."
In order to become a perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of ideals, he is willing to give up the life of a girl named Artoria.
That changed the moment she pulled that sword from the stone, and she's been synonymous with undefeated legend, hymn and fantasy ever since.
There have been pains and troubles, but it contains the glory of victory, and the belief that will never change has supported her to hold the sword.
"King of Conquerors, people like you who only care about themselves will not understand my beliefs, you are just an overlord who is blinded by desire!"
Saber shouted sharply, and Rider immediately opened his eyes wide after being scolded.
"A king without desire is better than a vase."
Rider's angry shouts and his huge body made him very intimidating at the moment, but it only scared Weber and Irisviel.
"Saber, you said just now that you "dedicate yourself to your ideals". Indeed, you used to be a clean and honest saint, so holy that no one can match, but who would expect to be martyred for your ideals? And who would yearn for the so-called saint day and night, just It can comfort the people, but it cannot guide them. Only by displaying desires and eulogizing the ultimate glory can the country and the people be led on the right path.”
After drinking the wine in the glass, the King of Conquerors continued to pick up Gilgamesh's fine wine and poured himself another glass, and then added.
"As a king, one must have stronger desires than anyone else, be bolder than anyone else, and be more irritable than anyone else. He should be a human being that contains both purity and turbidity, and is more real than anyone else. Only In this way, the courtiers can be convinced by the king, and the subjects will have such longings in their hearts as "it would be great if I were the king!"

"Such governance... so where's the justice?"
"No, there is no so-called justice in the way of the king, so there is no remorse"
"..."
He asserted too simply, Saber's lips trembled in anger.
Both of them take the people's happiness as the basic criterion, but the ideas between the two are far from each other.
On one side is praying for peace.
On one side is hope for prosperity.
The king who suppressed the chaotic world and the king who caused the chaos of war naturally couldn't have the same philosophy.
Rider smiled, and said heartily.
"King who bears 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. However, what kind of results will those guys who are saved usher in? I don't know."
"What did you say?"
Bloody Sunset Hill.
That scene resurfaced in Saber's mind again.
"You blindly "save" your subjects, but you never "guide" them. They don't know what the "king's desire" is. You leave the lost subjects, but you are alone in a sacred posture, for your own sake. Kind of intoxicated with petty ideals."
"So you are not a qualified king, you just want to be a "king" who cares about the people, and you are just a little girl who binds herself in a cocoon in order to become that kind of idol."
"I……"
There are many words that she wants to refute, but every time she opens her mouth, the scene of corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing into rivers will appear in front of her eyes.
Ever since she pulled out the sword in the stone, she had learned the prophecy. She knew it meant destruction, and she had realized it.
but why……
She was so surprised to see such a horrible sight that she felt powerless to do anything but pray.
Some magicians also predicted that it would be almost impossible to subvert, but she still thought, if miracles can really happen...
At this time, a dangerous idea occupied Saber's mind.
If I don't protect Britain as a savior, but ravage everything as an overlord...
The chaotic world will only become more chaotic because of the war. First of all, this is not the way of the king she pursues.
And no matter what angle she stood at, the girl named Arturia would never choose this option.
But if they did that, which would be more tragic than the Battle of Jianlan...?
Suddenly, a voice that shouldn't have sounded pulled Saber's thoughts back to reality.
"So... Rider, do you want to make her abandon the reason for fighting, and then go back and drown it in history?"
Saber looked at the young man who said this with some surprise, even though the other party was facing the famous king in history, he didn't have the slightest timidity.
Even, from Saber's perspective, there seems to be a faint light on the boy's body...
After blinking, the layer of light that suddenly appeared disappeared.
Is it a hallucination...?
