"Do you want to talk about your wish..."
Shirou leaned back on the chair, squinting his eyes with a nostalgic look.
"I don't have any wishes to realize. The purpose of participating in Holy Grail War is just to end this meaningless thing.
As for ideals... housework, cooking, and taking care of those guys who are not good at taking care of themselves. That's pretty much it! "
"What, it's bad, it's really bad! Don't you have any loftier ideals?"
Iskandar seems to be very dissatisfied with Shirou's wish. The name Lich King sounds so full of style. Why is he so stupid?
"King of Conquerors, please understand the specific situation before you judge others. Not to mention that I have only been Lich King for two days. The two Lich Kings before me were the protagonists of tragedy. I don't want to repeat their mistakes!"
The first-generation Lich King Onaizu was "made" into Lich King. The second-generation Lich King and Arthas, that idiot, originally wanted to use Undead Calamity to resist the Burning Legion. Everyone knows the result.
The third generation is just a missing piece, so don't mention it.
"Understand the situation? Hey Archer, do you know what is going on with this Lich King kid?"
Iskandar set his sights on the first person who said the term Lich King, hoping that this person could give him the answer he wanted.
"Huh, I don't need to answer the bastard's question. You just need to know that the weight on the fake sword is heavier than most people!"
After all, it would be crossing the line to say anything more!
"Oh, is that so? It's really wrong of me to speculate wildly. Forget it, Saber, it's your turn. Tell me about your the King's Path and your wish that needs the Holy Grail to be fulfilled!"
"My wish is that my motherland and Britannia can avoid the fate of destruction."
Hearing Artoria's negative answer, Iskandar frowned and Gilgamesh sneered. Even Shirou almost laughed out loud.
"Archer, is there anything funny about what I said? And Foreigner, why are you laughing?"
"Ah, thank you, I thought of something happy. Keep going, keep going!"
Although they are surprised by Shirou's performance, none of the three kings here have any intention of paying attention.
"Well, Saber. Just in case, let me ask here. Your country was destroyed under your governance!"
As the only king present who was not laughing, Iskandar asked seriously.
"That's right, so I can't forgive myself," Artoria said in a somewhat urgent tone, "I feel regretful and want to change that ending, the ending that was caused by me."
Someone finally couldn't hold back his laughter. As a king, Gilgamesh would never laugh too hard no matter how funny something happened. But this time I couldn't bear it anymore.
"Archer, what's so funny about this?"
Artoria stood up immediately. If Gilgamesh didn't give an explanation, Artoria would have drawn his sword.
"... proclaimed himself a king and was praised as a king by all the people. People living like this would feel 'regret'. How can I not make this king laugh!"
Gilgamesh laughed like a fool. On the contrary, Iskandar frowned——
"Saber, do you mean to deny the history you have made?"
"What's wrong with that? The country I drew my sword for and died for is dead. I feel sad about that. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Artoria just finished speaking, Gilgamesh laughed even more:
"Huhahahahaha, did you hear that, you two, what did this little girl who calls herself King of Knights say about 'sacrifice for the country'?"
Of course, no one paid any attention to Gilgamesh. Iskandar's expression became more solemn. As for Shirou, he was thinking about whether to pull Enkidu out again. Let him deal with this haha monster.
"What is wrong with this? As a king, you should hope that the country you govern will always prosper!"
"No, you are wrong!" Iskandar looked extremely serious, "It is not the king who dedicates himself to the country, but the country and the people who should dedicate everything to the king. It is definitely not the other way around!"
"Are you kidding? Isn't that a tyrant?"
"Just because we are tyrants, we become heroes!"
"Iskandar, your inheritance was cut off, and the empire you worked so hard to build was torn into pieces because of your orders. Don't you regret it?"
"I don't regret it! Because if I regret it, I would be denying those warriors who accompanied me in the battle!
If it is true that the country's destruction is caused by this king's order, then the country's destruction is inevitable. I will cry about it and be sad about it, but I will never regret it! "
"What did you say?"
Looking at the two people who were arguing more and more fiercely, Shirou sighed. He was afraid that the two people would fight if Bai Mong didn't come back.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop fighting." At least Shirou doesn't think there is anything wrong with Artoria's behavior. No matter what, she can't be fooled by Iskandar.
"The nature of your two countries is fundamentally different, let alone talking about the King's Path. Iskandar, has your country ever suffered aggression when you were governing it?"
"No." He Iskandar is King of Conquerors. Let alone others invading him, it would be good if he doesn't invade others.
"Isn't that enough? Do you know how miserable Britannia was at that time? It was a country destined to perish, and there was no room for maneuver."
"What do you mean?" Artoria looked at Shirou with bright eyes. Why didn't she, the king, know about such a thing?
"Yeah, yeah, Merlin didn't tell you? You were in the final stage of Age of Gods at that time. The number of True Ether in the atmosphere dropped sharply, and the dealers couldn't come out.
Moreover, even if this problem is solved, your country will still collapse due to various reasons. Because this is the trajectory of the world, and it's useless to say anything. "
"Oh, that's really miserable!"
Iskandar sighed, thinking about it now, Britannia really couldn't figure out what he was doing, and he was really a bit arbitrary.
"But I won't give up my point of view, Saber. The so-called king means that your desires are heavier than anyone else's, your laughter is louder than anyone else's, your anger is stronger than anyone else's, and you have to be the best no matter how clean or dirty you are!
In this way, all the subjects will envy and be fascinated by the king, and a fire of longing will arise in their hearts: "I also want to be a king." "
Iskandar's words successfully attracted the attention of a certain Golden Flash, who let out a devilish laugh:
"Heh heh heh heh, hahahaha! What an interesting guy, Rider, you are a thief worthy of being killed by my own hands. I have decided that I will kill you with my own hands!"
