" What did you say…" Saber could no longer suppress her anger and shouted. "Isn't that a tyrant? Rider, Archer, it's a huge mistake for you to be kings!”
"Indeed. But we are not only tyrants, but also heroes.”" Saber," Rider replied calmly," if a king is not satisfied with the results of his governance, it can only mean that he is an incompetent ruler, worse than a tyrant.”
Compared to Lance's uneven denial, Rider denied her completely. Saber frowned and retorted sharply,""Iskandar, you…the empire that you created was eventually split into four parts. Are you really not dissatisfied with this? Don't you want to do it all over again and save the country?”
"I don't want to." The Conqueror King immediately replied. He straightened his chest and looked straight into the Knight King's stern eyes. "If my decision and my subjects led to such an outcome, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and cry, but I will never regret it.”
"How could this be…"
"Not to mention attempting to overturn history! Such foolish behavior is an insult to all humans in the era I created!”
Saber refuted Rider's arrogant words,""You're only saying this because of the glory of martial artists. The people didn't think that way. What they needed was salvation.”
"You mean they want the king to save them?”Rider shrugged and laughed." I don't understand! Is there any meaning to this?"
"This is the duty of a king!" This time, Saber said proudly,""Correct rule, correct order. This is what all subjects hope for.”
"Then are you the slave of the 'right'?”
"If you want to put it that way. Only by sacrificing yourself for your ideals are you worthy of being a king." Without any doubt, the young Knight King nodded. "People can understand law and order through the king. What the king represented should not be something that would disappear with the king's death, but something more noble.”
Rider shook his head as if he pitied Saber.
"This isn't the path of survival that humans would choose.”
"Yes, I am. Since he was born as a king, he could not expect to live the life of an ordinary person.”In order to become a perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of her ideals, she was willing to give up her body and throw away her personal feelings. The life of the girl named Altoria changed completely the moment she pulled the sword out of the rock. From then on, she became a legend, a hymn, and a synonym for dreams.
There had been pain and troubles, but there was also the glory of victory. Her unchanging faith supported her sword.
"Conqueror King, a person like you who only cares about yourself will not understand my beliefs. You're just a tyrant who's blinded by desire!”Saber shouted. Rider's eyes widened.
"A king without desire is worse than a vase.”" Saber!" Rider shouted angrily, and his huge body made him look even more terrifying." You just said that you would sacrifice yourself for your ideals. Indeed, you used to be an incorruptible saint, so pure that no one could compare to you. But who would be willing to die for their ideals? Who would think of the so-called saints day and night? They could only comfort the people, but they could not guide them. Only by displaying their desires and praising the ultimate glory could they lead the country and its people to the right path.”
After drinking the wine in his glass, the Conqueror King corrected him,"As a king, you must have stronger desires than anyone else, be more unrestrained than anyone else, and be more irritable than anyone else. He should be a human that contained both clear and turbid, and was more real than anyone else. Only in this way could the officials be convinced by the king, and the people would have the longing of 'if only I were the king'!”
Lance was not idle either. The Conqueror King's words were not only directed at Altoria, but also the rest of them. His words were a manifestation of his kingly way, which benefited Lance a lot. Even Gilgamesh listened quietly without refuting.
"Such governance…Where is the justice?”
"No, I haven't. There was no such thing as justice in the path of a king, so there was no regret.”
"..." He was too direct. Saber was furious.
Both of them took the happiness of the people as their basic principle, but their ideals were very different.
"Alright, that's it!" Silently putting the wine glass aside, Lance glanced at the people who were looking at her in surprise.
In fact, he was quite disappointed at this banquet. He had forced his thoughts on others without considering the other party's situation at all. It was as if a bunch of children were competing to see who was more outstanding! Or perhaps he was too naive. Lance sighed silently and said arrogantly.
"So this is the so-called King's banquet!”
It had to be said that Lance was really good at pulling aggro. With one sentence, he pulled the attention of the three kings over.
"Berserker, what do you mean?？”Rider looked at Lance with a frown." Is this a contempt for the way of the king that we uphold?!”
In fact, Lance's extremely rude words had already angered everyone. Fortunately, the three of them were all famous kings, so they did not do anything bad, such as smashing cups and scolding. However, Gilgamesh looked very unhappy.
"No, how could it be!" Lance slowly stood up from the ground with a fake smile. His expression was even respectful, so respectful that it was a little flattering. He slightly bowed to the three kings and said.
" The Hero King, the most ancient king. As the most outstanding king, he obtained all the treasures on earth and won the praise of the people. Even the gods fell for him. Stop the worthy and mighty king." Lance praised, which surprised Gilgamesh.
Lance's performance surprised everyone present, but before they could finish, he continued. This time, his opponent was Rider.
"The Conqueror King, the great military genius, the most famous conqueror of the Macedonian Empire. He had great talent and strategy, was brave and good at fighting, and led his troops to travel across Europe, Asia, and Africa. He was the Lord of the Tyrannical Army, who had an invincible army that could defeat gods and devils!”The same action, the same expression.
'This is a compliment to the three kings,' everyone thought to themselves. Then, they turned their attention to Saber…
This strange situation put a lot of pressure on Saber, who was under everyone's attention. Seeing that Lance had already turned his gaze to her, Saber felt that she should do something to change Lance's target. However, before she could think of how to change the topic, Lance's praise swept over her.
" King, you are the Eternal King, you are the Undefeated King. You are humble, honorable, sacrificed, brave, compassionate, spirited, honest, and just. You are the most perfect knight spirit. You have dedicated everything to your motherland. You are the well-deserved Knight King!”Compared to the Hero King and the Conqueror King, Lance was 100% sincere when he praised the Knight King. However, this obvious bias did not make the other two kings feel any resentment. Because the three of them knew that Lance had something to say.
" The three kings have their own unique kingly way. They are also praised by their own people, and they also shine with the most brilliant brilliance in history. Great kings were born to meet the needs of the country. The Hero King had set up a unique and inviolable law. The Conqueror King led the declining Macedonian Empire to prosperity. The Knight King united the divided England while resisting the invasion of foreign enemies and protecting his people.”Lance said with a mocking smile." But at this moment, the great kings are actually discussing whose kingly way is better, whose kingly way is worthy of recognition, or whose kingly way is simply too wrong?! Don't laugh to death."
Pausing for a moment, ignoring the three kings 'different expressions, Lance continued,""Rule, conquer, protect. Let me ask you, who dares to say that they can do better in the other party's era and situation!”
At this moment, Lance's arrogance was beyond imagination. Compared to the slightly submissive Berserker from before, everyone felt that he should be the main body at this moment. At the same time, everyone felt that this was very illogical. He was clearly a Berserker, so what was with this clear analysis? Due to his emotional agitation, his eyes unconsciously turned golden as he arrogantly swept his gaze across the three people at the banquet. Lance's image in everyone's mind was promoted from a powerful knight to a superior…
"Hey…it seems like a new friend is coming. Did you invite him too, Rider?”Lance asked Rider, who was sitting on the ground like a primary school student.
Although they couldn't see it, the extraordinary heroic spirits could feel a very dense killing intent.
In the next moment, a strange white object appeared in the courtyard illuminated by the moonlight. One after another, pale faces appeared in the courtyard like flowers blooming. The paleness was the color of the cold and dry bones. A skeleton mask and a black robe. The empty courtyard was gradually surrounded by this strange group.
