Chapter VIII The King's Way of the Kings(1/2)

Let me talk first, I don’t have to read the following two chapters of the original work

************************************************************************

"I'm so annoyed when I hear you boasting about hiding wine. You don't look like a king, but like a clown."

Archer sneered at Saber, who was full of gunpowder.

"It's not true. A guy who doesn't even know how to drink is not worthy of being the king."

"Okay, you two are so bored."

Rider smiled bitterly and signaled to Saber who wanted to say something, then turned his head and continued the previous topic.

"archer, your best wine can only be matched with the glass of treasure - but unfortunately, the Holy Grail is not used to serve wine. Now we are conducting a Holy Grail Q&A question and answer to consider whether each other is qualified for the Holy Grail. First of all, you have to tell us why you want the Holy Grail. Archer, you can find a way to convince us as the king to be qualified for the Holy Grail."

"I can't stand you. First of all, we are going to 'fight for' the Holy Grail. Your problem is far from this premise."

"Um?"

Seeing rider raise his eyebrows in surprise, Archer sighed helplessly.

"It was originally supposed to be my belongings. All the treasures in the world originated from my collection, but because after a long time, it was lost from my treasure house, but its owner was still me."

"Then you mean, did you ever have the Holy Grail? Do you know what it is?"

"No."

Archer faintly denied rider's questioning.

"This is not something you can understand. The total amount of my property even exceeds my own cognitive range, but as long as it is a 'treasure', it must belong to me. This is very clear. If you actually want to seize my treasure, you should be a little self-aware."

Now it was Saber's turn to be speechless.

"Your words are similar to caster. It seems that he is more than the one who is insane."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Unlike Saber, rider muttered as if he responded. He had picked up the bottle and poured wine into the glass without any mind.

"Speaking of this, I think I still know your real name. The king who is more proud than Iskandal should be that one person. The princess and lady over there should also know it."

As for rider's words, Kuina just shrugged without comment.

Alice Phil and Webber immediately listened intently, but rider changed the subject.

"Then archer, that is, as long as you nod and agree, we will get the Holy Grail?"

"Of course, but I have no reason to reward rats like you."

"Are you reluctant to let it go?"

"Of course not, I only reward my subordinates and people."

Archer smiled at rider mockingly.

"Or rider, if you are willing to surrender to me, I will give you a cup or two."

“…ah, this is impossible.”

Rider scratched his chin, as if he felt that the other party's condition was too high, so he simply turned his head.

"But archer, it doesn't matter whether there is a Holy Grail or not. You don't compete for the Holy Grail to fulfill your wish."

"Of course. But I can't let the guy who took my treasure go, this is a matter of principle."

“That is,—”

The rider dried the wine in the glass.

"That is what? Is there any reason?"

"It's the law."

archer replied immediately.

"The rules I have set as king."

"Um."

Rider seemed to understand his words and sighed deeply.

"What a perfect king, I can implement the rules I set. But, I still want the Holy Grail very much. My way is to grab it if I want it, because Iskandal is the King of Conquer."

"Not necessarily. As long as you come, I can punish you. There is no room for negotiation."

"Then we can only meet on the battlefield."

Archer nodded with rider with a serious look on his face.

"—But archer, let's have a bar first, let's talk about the battle later."

"Of course, unless you simply don't like the wine I brought."

"What a joke, why am I willing to not drink the wine?"

At this moment, Archer and Rider had made Saber unable to tell whether they were enemies or friends, so she had to sit silently on the side and watch them. After a while, she finally spoke to Rider.

"King of Conquer, since you have already admitted that the Holy Grail is the property of others, do you still have to seize it with force?"

"——Well? Of course, my belief is to 'conquer'... that is 'seizure' and 'invade'."

Saber suppressed the anger in his heart and then asked:

"So why do you want to get the Holy Grail?"

Rider actually smiled embarrassedly, and he took a sip of wine and replied:

"I want to be human."

This was a really unexpected answer, even Weber shouted in a nearly crazy tone after saying "ah".

"Oh, you! Do you still want to conquer this world--wow!"

After forcing the master to calm down with a snap of his finger, rider shrugged.

"How can fools conquer the world in this life? Conquest is my dream, and I can only entrust this first step to the Holy Grail to realize it."

"The bastard... actually challenged me for such boring things?"

Even Archer was helpless, but rider said with a serious look:

"I said, even if we appear in the present world with magic, we are just servers after all, and they did not exist in this world originally - although it feels a bit ridiculous, are you really satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied. I want to be reincarnated in this world and live as a human being."

“…………”

Recall that - Weber originally thought that he did not like spiritualization, and insisted on showing up in substance was a rider's quirk. Indeed, although the server can speak, dress, eat, etc. like a human, its essence is just like a ghost.

"Why... want ** so much?"

“Because this is the basis of ‘conquest’.”

Iskandal murmured as he watched his clenched fists.

"Having a body, moving towards heaven and earth, and practicing my conquest - that is my kingly way. But now I don't have a body, which is not possible. Without this, everything cannot begin. I am not afraid of anything, I just feel that I must have **."

Archer seemed to be listening to rider's words seriously, just drinking wine silently from beginning to end. After careful observation, he could find that he showed a strange expression different from the past. It might be a bit far-fetched to describe it as a smile, but compared with his usual ridiculous expression, his smile at this time contained a layer of sinisterness.

"I decided...rider, I will kill you with my own hands."

"Haha, you still say this now. You should also be enlightened as soon as possible. Not only the Holy Grail, but I also plan to loot your treasure warehouse. You are so careless that the Conqueror has drunk such a fine wine."

Rider laughed wildly, "——Hey, I say saber, the king of Rome, and the princess, you guys also have the wishes."

"My wish? Well, don't care about the past, now I just want to marry the writer as my concubine."

"ha?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment about Nero's wish, and Kuina helped lower her forehead.

"……………Here, the Lord of Rome, are you and the Princess and Miss Princess women?"

Rider felt a little headache. After all, in this day, there was no such a magnificent and open Lily.

"Yes, so what? I am the emperor. In my absolute emperor circle, who dares to criticize me?"

Nero said unshakably.

"Well...well, my personal orientation is different."

Rider nodded, then turned to Saber and asked, "What about you, the Knight King?"

Saber's expression became a little more firm. No matter when, the wishes in her heart had never been shaken. My king's way is my pride. Still looking up, the Knight King looked directly at the three heroes and a master said, "I want to save my hometown. I want to change the fate of the destruction of Britain."

After Saber finished speaking resolutely, everyone was silent for a long time.

The first thing that was confused in silence was Saber himself.

Even though her words were full of momentum, the other party was not the one who would bow his head easily. Even if this was unexpected, it was still very easy to understand.

It is clear and there is no strange thing. This is her kingly way. Whether it is praise or refutation, someone should immediately raise it. But - no one speaks.

"—I said, Knight King, I couldn't have heard it wrong." Rider finally broke the silence. For some reason, his face was full of doubts. "Are you saying you want to 'change your destiny'? That is, you want to subvert history?"
To be continued...
