Dimensional journey starting from the sword

Chapter 318 Who Can Be King?

He Yuan's words hit the greatest anxiety in Saber's heart.

In her era, rumors of the "Sword of King Election" had swept the entire kingdom, and even the knights from neighboring countries rushed to participate in this "Election of Kings".

They may also know that they cannot pull out the "Sword in the Stone", but they also hope that they can witness the birth of the "King of Knights".

But even so, before she pulled out this sword, no one had ever shaken it in the slightest.

Does this mean that she is the only one who can pull out the "Sword in the Stone" and become king?

So, as Caster said, when the kingdom is about to collapse, should he pull out the sword from the stone and become king, or wait for "another king" who may or may not exist?
"I choose……"

At this time, the eyes of Gilgamesh and the King of Conquerors also looked at Saber.

They also want to see what will happen to Saber if she really uses the Holy Grail.

In Saber's mind, that turbulent era emerged.

Ask yourself, if that time really comes, will you still be the "king"?

The broken country, the crooked people, the numb face, and the fear and despair contained in the eyes...

Isn't this a matter of course?

I became a king just to save the people in war.

If people cannot be redeemed because of themselves, then what is the point of their own existence?
In an instant, Saber seemed to be at the sword in the stone again...

When she put her hand on the hilt of her sword, she already knew her final outcome...

but……

"I will draw the sword in the stone and become king!"

The loud answer resounded throughout the garden.

Saber's short figure stands upright, and the holy radiance seems to emanate from her body. Her noble and pure temperament is equal to Gilgamesh's arrogance and bravery of the conquering king, and she will not be inferior!

"Then Saber, you who have the memory of the future, do you think you can lead Britain to glory compared to the previous you?"

Saber remained silent.

As a king, all she thinks and thinks is to make people's lives better.

And every decision she made during her reign as king was carefully considered and not for her own selfishness.

So even if she has future memories, the decisions she makes when encountering various events will still not change.

But in this case—

"The king doesn't understand people's hearts..."

Her end, Britain's end, remained unchanged.

On the hill of Kamlan, she will kill Mordred who rebelled against her, but she will also receive a fatal blow because of this, and the kingdom still cannot escape the end of extinction...

As long as she pulls out the sword in the stone and becomes king, nothing will change.

The King of Conquerors sees her through, and she is a "right" slave.

Since everything she did was "right" when she was king, there's no room for change.

Her only mistake was pulling out the "Sword in the Stone" and becoming the "Knight King"!
Saber's face turned pale, and she lowered her head, with big drops of cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Seeing this, He Yuan spoke again.

After all, looking at Saber like this, if no one wakes her up, her mind will probably fall into an endless cycle of reincarnation, until the belief in her heart is wiped out, and she gives up pulling out the sword in the stone.

"Saber, do I need to change another wish?"

"Exchanging wishes?"

Saber raised her head and looked at He Yuan blankly.

"Ah, another wish."

"Didn't you wish to go back to the past before? If you failed to change history, Britain would still perish."

"Now, if your wish is not to go back to the past, but to let Sword in the Stone re-select one person to become the new 'Knight King', which direction do you think history will go?"

"Ok?"

Hearing He Yuan's words, Saber's gaze recovered.

"Saber, let's not talk about other things. In your opinion, Diarmuid is a qualified knight, right?"

"That's right, even if his heroic name is tarnished, he is still loyal to his monarch. He is indeed a true knight!"

"But Saber, if the 'king' chosen by the Sword in the Stone is a knight like Diarmuid, what do you think will be the future of Britain?"

Saber shook her head, this question doesn't need much thought.

Lancer is indeed a real knight, but only a knight!
He can't be king!
From Saber's point of view, as the king of knights, there should be nothing to tarnish the name of "knight". Diarmuid has implemented the way of knights and is loyal to the monarch, but he has no way of being a "king".

"So, among the people you know, is there anyone who can become a 'king'?"

"Gawain?"

"Lancelot?"

"Gareth?"

"Geraint?"

"Galahad?"

"Bedivere?"

"Kay?"

"Or Mordred?"

He Yuan read out the familiar names of Saber one by one, every time Saber uttered a name, Saber could immediately recall the person's appearance, character and their deeds.

However, because I am familiar with it, I know it is impossible!

Even Lancelot and Gawain, who were closest to the "King", Saber shook his head after careful consideration.

Without him, these two people value relationships too much. If they encounter an incident related to this aspect, they will not be able to make the "correct" choice.

In other words, those who make the "right" choice will bear the stronger self-blame of being punished.

In this regard, Saber has the most say.

In Saber's view, instead of letting them make the "correct" choice to carry the kingdom forward, it is better to let yourself bear all this!
During the conversation between He Yuan and Saber, Gilgamesh and Iskandar the Conqueror did not interrupt, but quietly listened to the development of the incident.

Make knights kings—

Because of the knowledge instilled by the Holy Grail, once they know the "real name" of the heroic spirit, they can quickly extract this information.

Every time He Yuan said a name, Gilgamesh and the King of Conquerors would ponder like Saber, and then shook their heads.

However, among those who were denied by Saber, Mordred asked the Conqueror to touch his chin, while Bedivere made Gilgamesh snort.

Obviously, Mordred, who initiated the rebellion, and Bedivere, who has been guarding King Arthur to the end, have been recognized by the two kings to some extent.

However, neither of them believed that these two people could become "kings".

"Finally, Saber, if you let Rider or Archer become the king of Britain, where will Britain go?"

"Rider? Archer?"

This last topic of He Yuan obviously aroused the interest of the Conqueror King and Gilgamesh.

"Hahahaha, if this king is their king, what's the point? Of course, I will fight back, take down all the surrounding kingdoms, and conquer them all!"

"Mere miscellaneous..."

Gilgamesh never spoke as much as a conquering king, but looking at his appearance, you knew that once he became the king of Britain, he would definitely kill all those who coveted Britain.

Perhaps, he will want to hold the world in his hands again, maybe...

Saber shook her head...

Given the situation in Britain at the time, it simply couldn't stand the toss of these two kings. Their actions would only accelerate the speed of the kingdom's demise.

"Humph!"

"So Saber, now we're back to square one."

"What exactly is the wish you want to achieve?"

　~~~ Done and call it a day~~~ Go to bed, good night everyone! ! !
