"No, I never hated Mordred."
"what!"
Xiao Mo excitedly stood up from the sofa. She wanted to ask, "Really?", but there was no need to do so, because the noble Knight King would never use lies to deceive anyone.
but……
"Father... I destroyed Britain... I killed you..."
"That's true, but ultimately, this is my responsibility as a king who doesn't understand people's hearts. If the people hadn't lost their faith in me, your rebellion wouldn't have happened."
The hair on Altria's head fell a little. She was invincible on the battlefield and wise in government affairs. She could always make the most reasonable choice no matter what the situation was, but...
Reasonable sometimes does not mean correct.
She was too lonely as a king.
She was too powerful, too perfect, and too correct, which eventually caused more and more people to leave Artoria. People called her a king who did not understand human hearts and gradually began to distance themselves from her.
"Take this opportunity to tell me everything, Saber. Tell Mordred why you don't acknowledge her as your successor. And repeat to your knight what you said to me before."
Bai Ge said with a complicated expression that although the scale was very different, he and Altria both played the role of king, so the two had talked about many things before.
He also learned from Artoria about the desperate situation in Britain at that time. Although it could not be compared with the collapse crisis encountered in the pre-civilization period of the Earth, it could also be said to be hopeless.
and so……
"Mordred, the reason I didn't acknowledge you at the time was, first of all, because you truly didn't have the qualities to be a king. This isn't about your birth, but about your personality... You're just too reckless."
“Guwu!!”
"I told you to spare the rebels and not to kill those who surrendered, but you ended up hacking them in half. As a result, the enemy refused to surrender to us. You also frequently clashed with other knights. You wanted to resolve everything with force, but governing a kingdom requires more than just the wielding of a sword. You even sneaked into the granary several times to steal food and even damaged the city walls. Do you know how many complaints Bedivere has dealt with? It's hard enough just to keep a troublemaker like you at the Round Table..."
"Ahem! Stop, stop talking, Father! Spare my life!"
At this moment, Altria's words turned into an attack more fierce than the holy sword, defeating Mordred completely.
At this time, the naughty kid from the round table also realized that his father might not recognize him as his child because of his birth, but simply because he was too troublesome.
Xingbao: "Wow~ Saber, you are so capable of getting into trouble. That's terrible. I'm not like my godfather's good little sweet girl."
Bai Ge: "Hehe...Hehe..."
Mr. Bai stared blankly at the Star Core Essence in his arms. Now he understood more and more why the Star was able to summon Mordred. In fact, although Mordred was a super naughty child, but...
The star core spirit in her own family is several times more capable of causing trouble than her!
"Ahem! Excluding the above reasons, the reason I didn't choose you as my heir was... Britain was hopeless at the time."
"Eh?"
"At that time, our kingdom was on the verge of destruction. There was no future to speak of. Even if I tried my best to support it, I would have reached my limit. If I handed the kingdom over to you, you would only get hell."
Altria said, this is the real reason.
Britain was already on its last legs at that time. Even if Mordred had not rebelled, it would not have lasted long, and he would have become the king of a fallen country, so... there was no need to pass on the throne.
She could leave nothing of value to the next king.
It will only leave the other party with a hellish mess.
Artoria knew better than anyone how hard it was to support such a crumbling and hopeless kingdom, but she was willing to bear the burden until the last moment and would not let others bear it.
After all, he was already in hell.
If that's the case, how can we drag others into hell?
Especially when the other party is his knight and his own child.
“Father, Father——!!!”
Modred almost fell to her knees. She never expected that the reason why Artoria did not pass the throne to her and did not announce to the public that she was her daughter was to prevent her from bearing the burden of hell!
At this moment, Xiao Mo burst into tears...
"My knights are all heroes chosen from among thousands, so Britain's decline and destruction is not your fault. If I must choose a culprit for the kingdom's downfall, it can only be me. It is because I do not understand human nature that I have met this end."
"What are you talking about? How could you be the one in the wrong? It's all the fault of a fool like me and that bastard Lancelot!"
"Stop talking, Mordred. I will obtain the Holy Grail. I will bring Britain a true master, a perfect king."
Altria then confessed her wish.
She wants to make a wish to the Holy Grail to go back to the past, back to the time before she pulled out the Sword in the Stone and became king, then deny everything about herself and no longer be king, so that the Sword in the Stone can choose a king who is more suitable than herself.
Artoria believed that if the Sword in the Stone could choose again, it would choose a king who was better than itself, a king who understood people's hearts differently from itself, such as a king like the Master/Shiroka.
Britain would never have ended up like that.
"........."
Mordred stood there in a daze, looking at Altria in front of her. For the first time, she felt that she understood her.
He is lonelier than anyone else, kinder than anyone else, yet no one understands him. He carries everything on his shoulders alone. He has loved the kingdom from beginning to end, but is known as a king who does not understand human hearts.
Is she really a king who doesn't understand human nature?
No! But in that terrible era, an era without hope, in order to allow Britain to survive as long as possible, she could only reduce her humanity and turn herself into an absolutely rational king.
She is a king who is more gentle than anyone else.
At this moment, Mordred finally remembered her original intention. The reason she wanted to become king was not to prove anything to anyone, but just to make this person less tired.
She thought that if she could become king, her father would not have to give up his soul, and would be able to find back what he had lost and become happy.
This is why she wants to be king!
A gentle king who refused to let his child/knight inherit the throne in order to prevent her from bearing the hell.
One is a loyal knight who constantly cuts down his soul in the hope that his father will no longer be bound by the kingdom.
This is the true thought of the Knight King Artoria Pendragon and the rebellious knight Mordred. It's a pity that the misunderstanding, impulse and disappointment of both sides turned the ending into a tragedy.
March: "So that's how it is. I'm so touched. I'm crying!"
Xingbao: "I, I don't want to become like this, it's better to confess now, godfather, I love your teeth!"
Bai Ge: "People really should be honest with each other. And I know, I know~ Xing, when you say this, please don't put your hands under my clothes, okay? The atmosphere is completely ruined."
Second update, please give me flowers, votes and rewards.
Just watched Heather's character demo.
What the hell, this is actually a P40! Is Zundu fake?
I suggest His Majesty Cerydra not give Jimi the title of "Lord of Cute Pets"...just dethrone him and make him a Lord! (*夕)
Chapter 1487, Scott: Can we reconcile? (Please customize)
"Hehe~Hehehe~Hehehe~!"
"Saber, please tone down your smile a little..."
"Oh! I'm sorry, Master. Your father is really nice, um, he is such a good man!"
Walking on the hot sand streets of [Pinoconi], Modred carried a greatsword and walked with an extremely arrogant pace, and the overly bright smile on her face made her look like a silly child.
Patting Xing's shoulder vigorously, Modred smiled and gave Bai Ge a thumbs-up. At the same time, her mind was still replaying what had just happened. She felt very happy.
I thought this [Holy Grail War] was worth participating in!
Mordred never dreamed that one day she would be able to reconcile with her beloved father and understand each other, and now the wish she planned to make to the Holy Grail has also changed.
Mordred no longer wants to travel back in time to challenge the Sword in the Stone/the Golden Sword of Victory that Artoria once pulled out. She now only wants the Holy Grail to change the name of her Noble Phantasm.
[Rebellion against Wu Duanli's father] Something like that!
Such an ugly and disloyal name must be changed!
and……
"Pendragon... Pendragon... I must perform well in this [Holy Grail War] and gain my father's approval!!"
She clenched her right hand tightly. Just thinking about Mordred made her feel excited. At the same time, she felt more grateful to Bai Ge because of Bai Ge's previous proposal to Artoria.
If Mordred achieves brilliant enough results in this [Holy Grail War], then Artoria will recognize her and grant her what she has always longed for, the name of the Knight King.
"Hahaha! Come on! Whether there are one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand servants, I will kill all those who get in my way. I absolutely, absolutely must make my father recognize me! Mordred Pendragon! I will carve this name into my spiritual foundation!"
"Very good~ Saber, very impressive~!"
Xing licked the ice cream in her hand with an expression that said "really, there's nothing you can do about it", but in fact, the heart of this star core spirit had already been burning with excitement because Bai Ge had already told her.
As long as she performed well enough this time, she would get her favorite super reward! So at this moment, the Star Core Spirit was already imagining, would her reward be a golden trash can inlaid with gems, or a Star Qiong that she could never draw out of?
Whatever it is, she will get it!
and so……
"From now on, we have to fight for fun too! Saber, don't save your strength, use your Noble Phantasm as a basic attack! We Star Core Essence don't have much of anything, but we have more energy than we can use up!"
"Oh! No problem, Master! Let's kill them all!"
At that moment, Xingbao and Mordred laughed ferociously. Tremble, [Pinocone]! Hyperion's number one troublemaker and Britain's number one naughty child, here they come!
In some ways, this combination is even comparable to the combination of the [Exploration] Star God Akivali and the [Joy] Star God Aha.
........................
Meanwhile somewhere in [Hot Sand Moment].
"Finally, finally the opportunity has come! [Holy Grail War], what a wonderful word! Yes, this will be the stage for me, Lone Wolf Scott, to complete my life's comeback! Holy Grail, you are mine!"
A man named Scott, wearing the uniform of Interstellar Peace Corporation and small round sunglasses on his face, looked at the Holy Grail on the big screen and let out a standard extra-act laugh that couldn't be more standard!
But the next second...
"Finally found you, you're so precious! My little cutie from the company's [Marketing Development Department], I'm going to fall head over heels in love with you!!"
"Eh~ Using a Noble Phantasm against an opponent of this caliber would make my gun cry, but... he really deserves a beating!"
"Ahhhh! Why are you two plague gods here again?!"
