The Godslayer in the Sky of Fate

Saber asserted proudly. By now Saber finally knew why the atmosphere between these two was so wonderful - the scene went cold.

"Ah, Saber?I wanted to confirm ...... that the destruction of England would have been in your time, when you ruled?"

"Yes! So I can't forgive myself." Saber sounded more determined "So I'm resigned to changing that ending! It's because of me that it ended that way ......"

Unintentionally, someone coaxed out a laugh. It was a vulgar kind of laughter that defied any understanding, and it came from the mouth of the golden glitter that was emitting a golden yellow glow. Faced with this great humiliation, Saber's face was filled with anger. The thing she treasured most was being mocked by Golden Flash.

"......archer, what's so funny."

Not minding Saber's anger, the Golden Inglourious Basterds replied intermittently as they laughed.

"- claiming to be a king - praised by all the people - such a man would still be 'unhappy' '? Ha! How can that not make you laugh? A masterpiece!Saber, you're the best clown ever!"

Beside the laughing Gold Flash, Rider also frowned, gazing at Saber with some displeasure.

"Wait a minute - wait a minute Rider King, do you want to deny the history you've made?"

Saber, who had never had any doubts about his ideals, would naturally not be put down by his question at the moment.

"Exactly. Is it surprising? Ridiculous? As king, the country I gave my life for is destroyed. What's wrong with me mourning?"

She was answered with another burst of laughter from Golden Glitter.

"Hey, hey, did you hear that Rider! this little girl who calls herself the King of Knights ...... actually said something about 'giving her life for her country'!"

The answer to Golden Glitter was Rider's deepening silence. It was to Saber． It's the same insult as being laughed at. "I don't see what's so funny. As a king, you should stand up. Work for the prosperity of your country!"

"You're wrong."

Rider dismissed her words firmly and gravely.

"It is not the king who dedicates himself to the king, but the country and its people who give their all to the king. Don't get me wrong about that."

"What did you say-"

Saber could no longer contain her anger and she shouted loudly.

Chapter Twelve The Assassin of the Banquet Attacks

CHAPTER XII

"-isn't that a tyrant!Rider"-so said Saber. "It is only a great mistake for you to be so king!"

"Indeed. But we're not just tyrants, we're heroes."

Rider replied calmly, not even moving an eyebrow.

"So Saber, if any king is unhappy with the results of his rule of the country, that only means he's a faint-hearted king, worse than a tyrant."

Unlike the golden glitter that kept mocking Saber, Rider fundamentally dismissed her.Saber locked her eyebrows and retorted in a sharp tone.

"Iskandar, are you ...... really not a little bit upset that the empire you created was finally split into four parts? Don't you want to do it all over again. To save the country?"

"Don't want to."

The Conquering King replied at once, puffing out his chest and looking directly into the stern eyes of the Knight King.

"If my decisions and my vassals lead to such an outcome, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn, and I will weep, but I will never regret it."

"How ......"

"Not to mention the attempt to subvert history! Such folly is an insult to all humans in the era I have constructed!"

To Rider's arrogant words, Saber denied.

"You're only saying that based on the glory of the warrior. The people don't think that way; what they need is salvation."

"You mean they want the king's salvation?" Yohiran lost his voice "You bastard."

"I don't understand! What's the point of such things?"

"That's what kings are for!"

This time it was Saber's turn to speak proudly.

"Right rule, right order, that's what all my subjects expect."

"So you're a slave to 'right'?"

"If you want to call it that, fine. It is only worthy of a king if you die for your ideals."

Without a hint of doubt, the young knight-king nodded.

"People can understand law and order through a king. What the king embodies should not be the kind of thing that will fade away with the king's death, but something more noble."

"Then you tell me what is right." Yoru was furious "Is what you think is right, answer me, saber."

Silence.

The young knight-king did not answer.

Because she didn't know how to answer either.

"This is not the path one would choose to survive."

"Yes. Since I was born as a king, I can't expect to live the life of an ordinary person."

In order to become the perfect monarch and the embodiment of her ideals, she was willing to give up her body to throw away her illicit love. The life of the maiden named Altoria changed completely the moment she pulled that sword out of the rock. Since then, she has become synonymous with undefeated legends, hymns, and dreams.

There had been pain, there had been trouble, but it had contained the glory of victory. The belief that it would never change supported her sword-holding arm to this day.

"Baal, you demon will not understand my words!"

"A king without desire might as well be a vase," Rider said.

Rider's angry shout combined with his huge body made him seem even more terrifying.

"Saber, you just said 'die for your ideals'. Indeed, you used to be a clean-cut saint, so holy that no one else could be. But who would look forward to martyrdom for an ideal? And who will look forward day and night to a so-called saint who can only soothe the people, but cannot guide them. Only the display of desire and the eulogy of the utmost glory can lead the nation and the people to the right path."

Having drained his cup of wine, the conquering king then corrected himself.

"As a king, he must possess stronger desires than anyone else, be more heroic than anyone else, and be more prone to anger than anyone else. He should be a human who contains both the clear and the cloudy, more true to himself than anyone else. Only then will the subjects be convinced by the king, and the people's hearts will be filled with the longing, 'If only I were a king!'"

"Where is the justice in such governance ...... then?"

"None. There is no such thing as justice in the way of a king, and so there is no remorse."

"......"
