Chapter XIV
The powerful army swept through everything.
Wherever the King's Military Force went, there was no trace of Assassin, only a faint smell of blood and dust.
"Woo!"
The cheers of victory rang out. As they presented victory to the king and praised the king's prestige, the heroic spirits who had completed the mission returned to their spirit forms and disappeared into the distance.
Then, the barrier that was maintained by their magic power was also lifted. The white moonlight revealed silence, and there was not a single speck of dust in the air.
The four servants and two magicians returned to their original seats and raised their glasses again. The Assassins had already disappeared, and only the remains of the spoon that had been cut off by a short knife confirmed what had just happened.
"-what a killjoy,"
Rider muttered to himself as if nothing had happened and finished the rest of the wine in his glass. Saber didn't answer. Nero seemed to be thinking about something. He didn't say anything. Golden Sparkle sneered with a dissatisfied expression.
"Indeed, no matter how weak the bastards are, it must have taken a lot of effort even for the king to come up with so many of them.”
"Let me say this first. No matter what, I have to compete with you.”
Rider stood up with a smile.
"Let's all say what we want to say. Let's call it a day.”
However, Saber was still upset about Rider's words. She was not willing to let him go just like that.
" Wait Rider, I haven't-"
"Shut up."
Rider stopped Saber with a firm tone.
"Tonight is the banquet of kings, but Saber, I don't acknowledge you as the king.”
"Do you still want to continue fooling me? Rider。”
Rider wanted to ride the chariot and fly away, but Yu said," Would you like to hear my evaluation of your King's Path?"”Rider stopped and sat on the ground. He looked at You and said," Then I'll listen."”
You said. "I can't deny you from your kingly way.”
"However, none of your ways are wrong.”
“？”Everyone was curious.
"The path of a king is different. A true king is unique. Since he is praised by people, there must be a reason for his existence.”
"Saber is a king who makes the people happy and honest, but your kingly way only focuses on saving the people's bodies and ignores their spirits. She was high and mighty, dazzling, and aloof, making people unable to catch up with her, making people not confident that they could do what she did. The people relied on her because of her ability. When she lost her ability, they naturally abandoned her.”
"Rider is the way to make the people happy. Your kingly way is to instill faith in the people, stimulate their enthusiasm, and lead the people to implement this faith. Even if Alexander lost his power one day, his spirit would live on.”
"Archer is a king who has the same way of king as Rider, but he has abandoned all laws and regards the king as the absolute king.”
"No one has ever been able to possess a complete King Dao.”You said," As the times change, so does the kingly way. A kingly way may be able to rule for a while, but it will never be able to rule an era.”
"So, you are not wrong, but you are also not right.”
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
After a while.
Golden Flash laughed loudly. "Is that what you said, Barr?”He no longer called her a bastard. This was a recognition, a recognition that came from the bottom of his heart.
" That's right." You nodded. "I've seen countless kings, from the ancient Solomon, to the Egyptian Ramses, to the later Roman Emperor Octavian. I've seen countless kings, and they all have different ways of governing, but none of them are the same.”
"A king does not depend on how big your territory is or how strong your army is. It depends on whether you have established your own king path.”
(Yes, the people hope to have such a king, to protect their weak self, so that they can enjoy an ordinary life. There was no need for such great ambition, no need for such great wealth, no need for such grand dreams. An ordinary life needed such a king to protect it. Archer's disdain and Rider's firm denial only meant that they were too extraordinary, so much so that they were too far away from the wishes and interests of ordinary people. Unlike the Hero King and the Conqueror King, the Knight King was a king of the weak, a king of the ordinary people.
Please don't comment on my personal opinion. I'm just sending it to you for you to take a look.）
"En, en," Rider nodded. "You're indeed brilliant.。。”
" This was the best way of the king at that time," You said." A way of the king with the goal of saving. Only in this way could we save the country of Saber at that time.”
"But…After the country was stabilized, it was no longer suitable for the country. What the people needed at this time was not salvation, but the strength to guide them forward.”
"Saber's arrogance has caused his people to lose their way. The people didn't know what their king wanted to do, so the country that was confused by Saber also perished because of it.”
" Archer is destined to be the perfect embodiment of the epic, while Rider's great achievements are only in words and pictures. However, Saber's contribution to the people will not be erased just because of his final failure or the destruction of his country. The Knight King's illustrious reputation can be passed down to this day. With his identity as the monarch of the British Isles, the reason why he can drink and discuss with the oldest Hero King, the Conqueror King who built a huge empire, is none other than the affirmation and reminiscence of the people.”
You stopped talking and looked at everyone.
" I see," Rider said. "To exist for the people... What about him? Has it lost the meaning of its existence?”
Saber looked at You and said," Thank you.。。”She didn't know how to address Barr. The Demon King that people feared the most had recognized her, but the most evil existence understood her the most.。。
You stood up and said," Nero, let's go.”
Riding the Hell Chariot, You left the castle and said to the other three Heroic Spirits. "After this banquet, I'm afraid we won't be able to chat so happily again.”
Rider laughed. I'm afraid you'll be defeated by me next time, Demon King.”
"Accept this king's judgement, demon: "I will defeat you with my own hands."”
" It's been a long time since we had such a good chat," Yu said." I'm afraid the last time was when I was still a mortal named Kasugano Yu."
"I will send all of you to hell.”You said," My army still lacks a few generals, so don't die in the hands of others!”
The Hellwarhorse flew away in flames, leaving a trail of flames in the sky.
You and Nero left, so did Rider and Wilbur. The golden light turned into golden light and disappeared from the courtyard.
Only Ariel and Saber were left in the courtyard.
