Chapter 496 King of Knights, what’s wrong with you! (Part 2)

Rider was the first to break the silence. There seemed to be confusion on his face.

"You mean to 'change destiny'? That means subverting history."

"Yes. No matter how difficult it is, I will do it and it will definitely come true——"

Arturia proudly asserted.

"Let me confirm first, that... the destruction of ancient Britain happened in your time, right? Was it when you ruled?"

"Yes. So I am unwilling to change that ending."

Arturia spoke firmly, but someone inadvertently laughed.

This laughter came from the mouth of the golden heroic spirit.

Arturia grimaced and looked directly at Archer angrily.

"What's so funny?"

Not caring about the anger coming from the investment, the golden heroic spirit continued to smile without looking at Saber, "Calling himself a king - being praised by all people, such a person can actually be 'willing'! Haha, how can this not make people laugh? A masterpiece, Saber, you are the best clown."

Rider frowned: "Wait a minute - wait a minute, King of Knights, do you want to deny the history you created?"

"That's right. Is it surprising? Is it ridiculous? The country I dedicated my life to as king has been destroyed. I mourn. Why not?"

"Hey, hey." Archer mocked, "Did you hear, Rider, she actually said she would sacrifice herself for her country?! Haha."

"I don't understand what's so funny about this. As a king, isn't it natural to work hard for the prosperity of your country and devote yourself to your ideals?"

"You are wrong!" the conquering king denied solemnly and firmly, "It is not the king who sacrifices himself, but the country and people who sacrifice themselves to the king."

"How is this different from a tyrant?"

"Indeed, he is a tyrant, but he is also a hero."

Rider spoke calmly, without even frowning.

"Saber, if a king is dissatisfied with his own governance, it only means that he is a coward, an incompetent person worse than a tyrant."

Unlike Gilgamesh's ridicule, Iskander fundamentally rejected Arturia.

"What's more, he wants to subvert history and destroy the history he created in one fell swoop. This kind of stupid behavior is an insult to all human beings in the era I built!"

Faced with the proud words of the King of Conquerors, the King of Knights denied: "You are only based on personal glory. The people will not think so. My people are suffering from war, displacement, hunger, and the spread of plague. They need a stable life. They need Be saved.”

"You mean they need the king's rescue?"

The conquering king shrugged,

"I don't understand, what's the point of this kind of thing?"

"This is the duty of a king."

Saber spoke slowly,

"Correct order, correct governance, this is what the people long for."

"Are you the 'right' slave then?"

"That's okay if you want to say so."

The King of Knights raised his head and said, "People like you who only care about your own selfishness cannot understand my beliefs. How can you be a king if you are carried away by desire?"

"A king without desire is worse than a vase."

"Saber."

He no longer calls him the King of Knights, but calls him by rank and title.

"You just said 'sacrifice yourself for your ideals'. Indeed, you used to be an upright saint, but who would think about it day and night? The so-called saint can only comfort the people, but cannot guide them. You can only show desire and sing praises Extreme prosperity can lead the people to the right path.”

"Singing prosperity? Is it the right path? If there is war and chaos, and the people are living in dire straits, where can prosperity come from and how can we guide it?"

The Conqueror King seemed disdainful to answer this question. He drank all the wine in his mouth and continued,

"As a king, you must have stronger desires than anyone else, be more irritable than anyone else, and be bolder than anyone else. He should be a human being who is full of purity and turbidity and is more real than anyone else. Only in this way , only then will the people be convinced, and only then will the people have the vision of 'It would be great if I were the king'."

"Such a governance... where is the justice? Shouldn't the king enlighten the people's wisdom, improve their livelihood, and promote their skills? If he doesn't do well, he will be upset and regretful. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"No, there is no so-called justice in the way of a king, so there is no regret."

His assertion was too straightforward, making Arturia's face full of anger.

Praying for the stability of the country amid the war,

In the cruelty, I hope that the people can have enough food and clothing,

Such a prayer must have justice in mind. Even if both of them hope that the country will prosper, their paths are in opposite directions.

It is an existence that is incompatible with fire and water.

The conquering king smiled and said cheerfully:

"O king who bears the name of the King of Knights, your justice may have won the country and the people for a while, so your name can be praised to this day. However, what happened to those who were saved later? ?”

"--What?"

The sunset reaches the hills stained with blood.

Holding a sword and standing on the mountain of corpses.

That scene appeared in Artoria's mind again.

"You just 'save' without 'guiding'. They don't know what the king's desire is, so they lose their way, but you are alone in the ideals as a saint. So, you are not A qualified king finally became a little girl trapped in a cocoon."

"I......"

There are many things I want to say to refute, but whenever I open my mouth, the scene I once witnessed in Cam Ranh Bay will appear before my eyes.

"Saber, you are wrong. Your justice, as a king, is wrong."

After the King of Conqueror finished speaking, the atrium fell into a deadly silence under the night sky.

The white flowers in the flowerbed fall against the moonlight, just like the withering of death on the battlefield.

"Hehe, hehe, that's really interesting."

The sudden laughter cut through the silent air, gentle and elegant, but like a sharp sword.

"A slave owner and a local mayor actually come together to point fingers at a noble knight. It's really a wonderful sight, and it's not worth my while to come here."

In the eyes of the King of Knights, Mu Ran raised his head,

In the slow frown of the conquering king,

Under the cold gaze of the oldest king,

A figure walked leisurely on the stone road filled with moonlight.

"When oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges; when they grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges. What is justice? What is the royal way? Let me tell you.

Iskandar, you are a man of great talent and talent. You unified Greece, swept through the Middle East, pacified Persia, occupied Egypt without any blood, marched your army to the Indus River Basin, and occupied three of the four ancient civilizations in the world. You are here In just 13 years, it has achieved unprecedented brilliant results. Is it all your fault? No, you studied under Aristotle. The country is prosperous, the people are sympathetic, and the products are rich. The ancient Greek civilization where you live is in its most glorious period. You can have desires and you can be willful as a king. This is the privilege given to you by the times.

In the past, ancient Britain was at the point of mysterious decline and the beginning of civilization. There were endless wars, a barren land, and children who lost their lives due to hunger. People were deep in hell, unable to see tomorrow, unable to hold on to hope, and they just needed to survive. Go and try your best, but the scene in front of you is blood and frozen bones on the roadside. This——where is there no time to distinguish between right and wrong, and where is the energy to pursue the king’s selfish desires?

Times are different, the environment is different, and people's sentiments are different. Where does it come from and who must set universal standards? Where does absolute right and wrong come from?

Do you understand now? What justice? What is the royal way? "

Ye You turned his gaze to Arturia, injecting those holy blue eyes that never gave in until death.

“Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul.

In the face of a powerful enemy, it is not against the law of nature to be fearless, resolute and loyal, to be loyal and upright, to rather die than to surrender, and to protect the weak.

I hope the people live and work in peace and contentment, and pray that the motherland will prosper.

King of Knights - What's wrong with you? "
