He laughed so hard that he couldn't control himself. The person next to him was watching with frowning eyebrows and an expression of displeasure that was not usually seen on his face.

Wait a minute - King of Knights, please wait for me. Do you actually want to deny your words and deeds that you have left in history?

She had never had any doubts about her ideals, and of course she never expected that someone would question her like this now.

Exactly! What's so surprising? What's so funny? Is there anything wrong in feeling sad that the country I raised my sword and sacrificed my life for has perished?

Her answer was another burst of laughter.

Hey, did you hear what she said? This little girl who claims to be the King of Knights... unexpectedly! She actually said something like 'dedicate your body and mind to the country'!

There was still silence for a while, and he ignored the man who laughed wildly, and the melancholy expression on his face became heavier and heavier. For us, silence is no different than ridicule, both a form of humiliation.

What's so funny about this? As the leader of a country, you should wholeheartedly hope that the country you govern will always prosper!

No, you are wrong. He refuted what he said firmly and seriously, It is not the king who dedicates himself, but the country and the people who dedicate their wealth and lives to the king. It's definitely not the other way around.

What did you say——! His voice was hoarse with excessive anger.

That is simply the rule of a tyrant! Evil people like you are not qualified to be kings!

That's right. It's precisely because we are tyrants that we are great heroes. He responded calmly without changing his expression. But if any king regrets his rule and the results he has caused, then he is just A mediocre and incompetent king is worse than a tyrant.

Different from just ridiculing, the rebuttal still follows the form of question and answer. When she discovered this, she also restrained her tone and decided to answer the challenge with theory.

Iskandar, isn't it the same for you...the heir was killed, and the empire that you worked so hard to build was finally split into three pieces. Don't you feel regretful at all about this ending? If you still have the chance to do it again now , don’t you think there are other ways to save the motherland?”

Won't.

The answer was straightforward. The Conquering King proudly puffed out his chest, stared directly into the Knight King's serious eyes, and counterattacked: If the decisions I make and the lives of my subjects end up like that, then destruction is inevitable. I will I will mourn and cry for this, but I will never regret it.”

how come……

Let alone overthrow all of this! This stupid behavior is an insult to all those who jointly created the era with this king.

Regarding the arrogant declaration, he denied: Only soldiers regard destruction as glory. The people do not think so. What they need is salvation.

You mean they want the king's rescue? He shrugged and laughed. I don't understand! What's the point of this kind of thing?

That is what a king truly pursues! This time it was his turn to speak excitedly, To rule according to the laws of nature and to govern the world according to the right path. Aren't these what all the subjects are eagerly looking forward to?

So, is it possible that you, the king, are a slave of the 'righteous way'?

That's right. A true king is one who dies for his ideals. The young knight king nodded and said without any hesitation in his tone.

The people learn what the rule of law and order are through the words and deeds of the king. What the master of a country conveys to the people cannot be an phantom that will disappear with the king, but something more noble and eternal.

Seeing the firmness and even pity in his words, he let out a long sigh.

That's simply not how 'human' lives.

Of course not. If you want to be the king of a country, how can you expect to live the same life as a mortal.

In order to become a flawless monarch, in order to become an ideal practitioner, the body gives up mortal nature to gain immortality, and the mind gives up personal feelings to become a perfect person. The life of the girl Arturia ended the moment she pulled out the Sword of King Selection from the rock. After that, she became a legend called undefeated, a hymn, and a phantom.

She had had pain and troubles, but the pride she had was far greater than that. The uncompromising belief still gives him strength and supports her sword-wielding hands.

King of Conquerors, people like you who only care about yourself will not understand. You became the overlord just to satisfy your endless desires!

He shouted loudly, as if he had struck a fatal blow to the enemy.

His eyes suddenly opened when he heard these words.

The king who has no desires and demands is not even worth a decoration!

He shouted loudly. The ferocity in his words made his already huge body look twice as big.

, you said, ‘The king must die for his ideal’. It turns out that you should have been an incorruptible and flawless saint during your lifetime. Your image must have been noble and inviolable. But who would have visions and dreams of a life full of suffering like martyrdom?

Among the kings, the unparalleled overlord mercilessly scolded the holy king sitting opposite him:

A saint can comfort the people, but he can never lead them. A king must show clear desires and respect the ultimate glory and wealth in order to guide the people and lead the country!

“The so-called king is a person who is greedier than anyone else, is more heroic than anyone else when he smiles, is more violent than anyone else when he is angry, and exhausts the good and evil of human nature. That’s why the ministers will envy the king and be attracted by the king. Only in the hearts of every people will the fire of longing I also want to be the best among ten thousand people will be ignited.

What kind of justice is there in this kind of rule?

There is no justice, and the royal way does not need any justice at all. Because of this, there is no regrets.

His words were so arbitrary that he was shaking with anger.

What is the happiness of the people. On this basic concept, the gap between the two is really too big.

One side is praying for stability. On the one hand, there is hope for prosperity. The king who hopes to calm down the troubled times and the king who caused the troubled times by himself cannot have the same ideals.

He showed a fearless smile and continued.

King of Knights, perhaps the banner of justice and ideals you held high once saved your country and its subjects. That must have been a great cause enough for you to leave your name in the legend. But you should also It’s very clear, what will happen to those people who ‘only know how to be saved’?”

You...what did you say?

At dusk, the hills are stained with blood.

That scene flashed through my mind again.

You always 'save' your subjects, but you don't 'guide' them. You have never shown the 'king's desire' and left your lost subjects behind. You are just a person with a sacred attitude, eager to realize those small and beautiful ideals. So. You are not a real king, you are just a little girl bound by the image of a king who lives not for yourself but only for others.

I……

She had a thousand words to say in reply, but every time she spoke, the scenery she had overlooked on the hills of Camlan resurfaced before her eyes.

The endless mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. The lives that ended there were once her courtiers, friends and relatives.

If she thought about it carefully, she had heard the prophecy before when she pulled out the sword in the stone. It was predicted that the future would be a sign of destruction, and he should have been mentally prepared for it.

But even if there is awareness. Once she witnessed that scene with her own eyes, she couldn't help but think about it and have the thought of praying.

A completely different possibility could even overturn the magician's prediction. She thought to herself that if there was such a possibility...

There is a dangerous imagination that seems to seep into the void in my heart. What if instead of protecting Britain as a savior, I ravaged Britain as a overlord...

However, when comparing the outcome of this terrible way of overlordship with that of Camlan Hill, which one is the real tragedy...

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side:

No, you don't understand. If you were to pursue your hegemony in Britain at that time - it would only accelerate Britain's demise.

The one who said this was the white-haired young man who had always remained silent before.

Facing the glare, Shuo Yue responded with a smile as light as the breeze, and the wine glass in his hand was already empty.

The tyranny you praise is nothing compared to King Arthur's royal way.

The young man said this.

Because it is almost the original text, but it is the original text that I had to write, so I posted it in the chapter review for everyone to know.

Chapter 125 So, let’s tell the story of a king

Faced with Shuo Yue's abrupt interruption, he frowned somewhat unhappily:

Master Shuoyue, think about your position and identity before speaking - are you criticizing the achievements of our two kings as a modern human being thousands of years later?

Before Shuo Yue could speak, the golden heroic spirit on the other side of the seat suddenly stopped laughing, tapped the edge of the table with his wine glass, and uttered warning words from his mouth:

Attention, King of Conquerors. The person in front of you is not a simple human being. If you continue to use those fallacies to fool people, even I, the King, will not be able to save you.

? Iskandar didn't expect that it would be the most arrogant king who would speak out. After a brief silence, he let out a sigh of relief, and the oppressive feeling on his majestic body gradually dissipated.

Let's hear what you have to say, little brother Shuo Yue.

Oh? Then should I say thank you to the King of Heroes? Shuo Yue smiled, then took the jug and filled the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said in a leisurely tone:

Then, let's tell a story about a king...

The overly familiar tone made his hair curl up, and he couldn't help but listen quietly.

That is an epic story that is still passed down to this day.

In the 5th century AD, the blood of the King of Britain, the ideology of Britain's incarnation as the red dragon, and the female blood to perfectly blend the two were mixed to create a mother's womb. In this way, the legendary King Arthur, Arturia Pendragon, was born quietly.

When Uther Pendragon died at the age of 15, Artoria Pendragon pulled out the sword in the stone that represented the qualifications of the new king - the Golden Sword of Victory. From that moment on, the long river of time was frozen for the king. The king's body and appearance stopped growing and aging, and stayed at the moment when he was 15 years old.丂hU乂

After defeating Vortigern, King Arthur began to revive the destroyed fortress city. Due to the return of the holder of the Holy Sword, the city also regained its original mystery and was reborn as the chalk city of Camelot.

The years of King Arthur's reign over Britain refer to the ten years between the completion of Camelot and the campaign to Camlann's Hill. That could be said to be the last era of romance on this planet. The twilight period when the island still retains mysteries, magic, fairies, and sanctuaries.

Mysterious dusk.

Planets change the laws of physics depending on the life on their surface. The era that used to be full of mystery and magic came to an end as humans became the largest force on the surface and gradually declined. Nature, which had personality in the past, became a mere natural phenomenon, and the ether in the atmosphere disappeared.

After the death of Solomon, the King of Magic, the rate of mystical decline accelerated.

Five hundred years ago, the age of mythology completely ended. This planet became independent from nature and became a world separated from the natural cycle.

But this island is different.

This island still retains the air and mystery of the mythical age. After all, the more isolated it is from the mainland, the easier it is for the land to remain mysterious.

Britannia is particularly important, after all, it is like the navel of the planet.

This is the last relic of the mythical age, and it can also become a fulcrum that can overturn the world.

——But to put it another way: this island is a mysterious wreckage, a heresy on the planet.

In the glorious future of mankind, such a lingering shadow cannot be allowed to exist.

The age of mystery is long over.

Next comes the age of civilization, the age of mankind.

King Arthur's basic power cannot be tolerated by humans. As long as the king lives, Britain will have no future.

It is precisely for this reason that during the reign of King Arthur, this island has always been a year of violence - this is not due to the king's misconduct, but simply because the world and the way of heaven are suppressing this last mystery. Just land.

Britain will be destroyed.

And King Arthur, the radiant ideal king, delayed this inevitable destruction for ten years.

After the young man drunkenly told this distant story, a suffocating silence fell among the kings.

Whether it was the most inexperienced artificial man, the magician who was still learning the mysteries, or the conquering overlord and the more ancient hero king, they all sat motionless.

Only the protagonist in the story, the king who is still a girl, poured himself wine in silence and took a small sip. His holy green eyes were empty, wondering what he was thinking.
