[comprehensive] Ishtar

Perhaps because he had withstood a large wave of attacks before, Merlin's figure has been in a state of transparency and translucency overlapping back and forth since the attack.

Suddenly being cueed by A Jiwen, he didn't have the heart to maintain his body, and his whole body showed an extremely distorted look because of the shock: "Wait..." Merlin was dumbfounded, "What does this have to do with me? "

"It probably means that if you do it yourself, there won't be so many troubles." Doctor Roman taunted from the other side of the communicator, "If you think about it carefully, if there is no such thing as 'drawing the sword to choose the king' , the fate of Britain may be quite different."

Merlin, who was evaluated by Doctor Roman, was still smiling, but Artoria, who knew him well, knew that Merlin was not in a good mood at the moment.

"I have a question that I can't figure out." Half-baked magician Tachika Fujimaru raised his hand, "Future Vision can see the future, so why not change the future from the very beginning?"

If Fujimaru Tachika, who has experienced wars in the future, may ask more meaningful questions when facing two candidates for the crown and another former crown, but at this moment, he who knows little about magic, all he can think of is The most superficial layer: "Wouldn't it be good if Britain was handed over to Morgan from the beginning?"

Thinking of her sister Wang, Arturia sighed: "Sister Wang...she is not suitable to be a king."

Mordred, who was also evaluated in the same way, sneered from the side: "Tch, you make it sound like you are so suitable." She curled her lips, "Isn't she also a little girl, she was only 15 years old when she became king, and she is younger than me. Both are small."

"However, I am still the king of Great Britain." Arturia was indifferent to Mordred's provocation, "If you have any opinions, please state your reasons, Lord Mordred." The sword in her hand fell On the ground, the blond girl's legs were spread apart, her hands were folded above the hilt of the sword, and she was imposing.

"Ah," since Mordred was commented as a rebellious knight by later generations, Mordred would not be stopped by Arturia's actions, "Why do you say I am old... I am not suitable to be a king."

Accidentally walked away the mantra, but in the next second, he realized that the person in front of him was the real Laozi, and Mordred, who actually admired his "father" in his heart, quickly changed his name.

"What makes you think you are suitable to be a king?" Arturia asked without answering, "You don't have the bearing, temperament, attitude, or even fairness to be a king. If I hand over Britain to you, then I am the sinner who really 'destroyed' Britain."

This kind of criticism, which is close to 'you are worthless', stimulated Mordred, her eyes were full of anger: "In your heart, am I nothing? Just because I was not born as you expected, yes Mother stole your flesh, and with alchemy—"

"From the beginning to the end, Mordred, the reason why you want to become the British monarch is wrong." Artoria snapped Mordred's words, "You are like a child who hasn't grown up, because I won't let you do anything, so you must do something."

"If I hand over Britain to you, it won't take two days for Britain to fall into someone else's hands because your 'not interested'."

Silence spread between Mordred and Artoria, and under their influence, the others did not dare to speak out.

It was Merlin who couldn't see the silence, so he threw a stone first with a laugh: "Okay Al, it's not a big deal..."

"Please forgive me for being rude, but Mr. Merlin, although it is abrupt, Mordred is indeed my child in terms of blood." At this moment, it was not a young girl standing in front of everyone, but a real prince. , "Because of her, my negligence in discipline led to the later tragedy. Some things must be explained clearly."

Mordred seemed to have a premonition, and the anger in her eyes turned to shock.

"From beginning to end, I have never denied your existence, Mordred." Artoria said.

——Is this the affirmation she has been waiting for?

"At first I just didn't know you existed, and it felt strange to know that a teenager suddenly appeared." Artoria looked at Mordred's face that was very similar to hers.

"I recognized your excellence when I recognized you as a knight, Mordred."

"What I deny is only your aptitude to be king, not your person. I don't know about your birth, nor about your growth, but Sir Mordred, as a knight of the round table, until you betrayed Before, you were my companion worthy of entrusting my back."

——These were the words she had been waiting for.

Speaking of this, Artoria's expression softened: "As a king, I may be negligent, whether it is your betrayal or the split round table. But as your elder, I am very proud of your achievements, Mordre Germany."

Did she resent Mordred for overthrowing her kingdom?

Perhaps, but as the king of Uruk said before, is she not responsible at all?

For the first time, Arturia looked positively at this daughter who was connected with her blood without any negative emotions: "But I still have to say, you are not qualified at all to be king."

"Can't you just say nice things?" Mordred's ears were turning red, and Arturia's straight-ball confession made her feel at a loss, "Also, what do you mean it's been in my hands for two days?" Just throw it away, do you think you are playing house!"

Arturia sighed: "You and Sister Wang have always been in contact, I have been watching you, Mordred." After I know your blood, "You will listen to what Sister Wang says, right?" .”

Mordred fell silent, because she felt that the other party was right.

She hated Morgan and Artoria, but she also desperately wanted their approval.In order to be recognized, she can even do whatever it takes.

"So, now it's your turn to answer my question." Arturia looked at her daughter seriously, "When did you know my gender?"

Seeing Artoria's serious expression, Mordred, who thought that the other party had some serious secret to ask him, went blank for a second: "...Is this the point?"

"It's very important." Arturia nodded seriously, "Ms. Meilin once cast a magic trick on me to conceal my gender." In that era, the identity of a woman was far less convenient than that of a man, especially the gender. There is also the British succession involved.

Mordred, who was touched by the straight ball just now, said, "If you are worried about the round table, the knights probably didn't know it before they were alive." She turned her head, "It's just that when I was summoned this time, Bedivere took care of me. After a round of accusations, he said that he slipped up."

This answer made Arturia's hanging heart relax, as long as it wasn't a loophole in her lifetime.After all, her sister, Morgan, lost to a certain extent in terms of gender when she competed for the succession of Britain, although it was more because of her various researches.

"Bedivere." Thinking of the knight who was by her side until the end, Arturia couldn't help softening her face, "I've worked hard for him all this time." Maybe the combat power is not top-notch among the knights of the round table, But he is a good hand in taking care of King Arthur.

Arturia trusted him, otherwise she would not have entrusted him with the scabbard in the end.

"Speaking of which," Mordred suddenly thought of something, "Tristan seems to have something to say to his father." Finally, she moved her private address to Artoria to the table, and Mordred Mood looks better.

This is another knight who had indiscriminate and chaotic relations with the split of the round table and the demise of Britain during his lifetime.

The red-haired knight with closed eyes slowly walked up to the king he followed in the past amidst Mordred's shout: "You are still the same as before, my king." He bowed humbly, putting his attitude aside very low.

Arturia helped him up with one hand: "You are not wrong, Tristan." Tristan is also one of the knights who followed her in the north and south from the beginning, "If you really pursue it, as you said, It’s because I failed to realize the Britain in your heart, and let you down.”

I don’t know where to poke it, Tristan looked even more sad: “My king,” even with his eyes closed, the grief on his face was clearly visible, “You...no matter what you say, in our eyes, you Is the best king."

He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he stopped for some reason.

"You are the best king in Britain," he thought of the King Arthur whom he admired, followed, and watched at first. "It's not because you don't understand people's hearts, but because you followed your heart from the very beginning. never change."

Tristan didn't say 'this is so sad' again, but his words and deeds showed it.

It's just... so sad.

Time and status have changed many things. In the beginning, they may indeed be knights who wanted to fight for Britain. They were noble knights who could sacrifice themselves for their country and sacrifice their lives for righteousness. At the beginning, it was indeed because of the noble and holy girl in front of them The attitude and quality of the dream chasers gathered in one place.

But later, when they became the famous Knights of the Round Table in Britain and had their own family and followers, many things had changed.

They began to divide their qualifications, they began to reject rising stars, they began to form friendship and get along with each other, and they used their past experience as the capital for the blackmailer to favor them.They began to confidently ask the king to divide the interests, according to their ideas and their needs, not fairness and justice.

But Wang is the same, she will always be the fair and just look at the beginning, and she will always be the look everyone saw at the beginning.She will never be biased because of selfish desires, her life is always calm or even cruel, and there is no distinction between strangers and relatives.

He said that the king doesn't understand people's hearts, so it's not because they have changed a long time ago.

This is really, really sad.
