Rubik's Cube World

"Indeed. But we are not only tyrants, but also heroes." To Saber's question, Iskandar replied calmly without even shaking his eyebrows, "So Saber, if any king is dissatisfied with the results of his own governance of the country, That can only show that he is a stupid king, worse than a tyrant."

This time, Iskandar's words are equivalent to denying Saber fundamentally.

"Iskandar, you... the empire you created was finally split into four parts, are you really not at all unwilling to do so? Don't you want to do it all over again and save the country?" Saber frowned , asked in a tone like a blade.

"I don't want to." What responded to her was King Conqueror's straightened chest and crisp words.With sharp eyes, he looked straight at the knight king and said, "If my decision and my subjects lead to such a result, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and cry, but I will never regret it."

"How come..." Saber murmured looking at Iskandar in disbelief.

Before Saber finished speaking, Iskandar's proud voice sounded again, "Not to mention trying to subvert history! This stupid behavior is an insult to all human beings in the era I have built!"

"You say this only based on the glory of the warrior. The people don't think so, what they need is salvation." Saber, who came back to her senses, denied it.

"You mean they want the king's salvation?" Iskandar laughed and said, "I don't understand! What's the point of such things?"

"This is the duty of a king!" Saber proudly replied, "Correct rule and order are what all subjects look forward to."

"Then you are the 'right' slave?" Iskandar asked rhetorically.

"You can say so if you want. Only by dedicating oneself to one's ideals is one worthy of being a king." There was no trace of doubt. Saber nodded as a matter of course.

"People can understand law and order through the king. What the king embodies should not be something that will disappear with the death of the king, but something more noble." Iskandar seemed to be pitiful She shook her head and said, "This is not the way of life that people would choose."

"Yes. Since you were born a king, you can't expect to live a normal life." Saber interjected.

"King Conqueror, a person like you who only cares about yourself will not understand my beliefs. You are just an overlord who has been dazzled by the ****!" Then, Saber said in a stern tone as if she was reprimanding a subordinate who made a mistake.

"A king without a penis is worse than a vase." Iskandar shouted angrily.

"Saber, you just said 'dedicate your life to your ideals'. Indeed, you were a clean saint in the past, unmatched in holiness. But who would like to expect martyrdom for ideals? And who would yearn for the so-called saint day and night , can only comfort the people, but cannot guide the people. Only by displaying the glory and eulogizing to the extreme can the country and the people be led on the right path.”

At this point, Iskandar drank the wine in the glass as if feeling dry, and then continued to correct.

"As a king, you must have a stronger desire than anyone else. He is bolder than anyone else. Irritable than anyone else. He should be a human being that contains the clear and the turbid, and is more real than anyone else. Only Only in this way can the courtiers be convinced by the king, and the people will have such longings in their hearts as 'if only I were the king'!"

"This kind of governance... so where is the justice?" Saber asked.

"No. There is no justice in the way of kings, so there is no remorse." Iskandar replied without pause.

Saber clenched her hands into fists and glared at Iskandar.

Iskandar smiled, and said again, "King who bears the name of knight. Your justice and ideals may have saved the country and the people for a while, so your name will be passed down to this day. However, those who have been saved You don't know what kind of result the guy ushered in?"

"You said--what?" Saber's delicate body trembled slightly, and the bloody plain and the hill-like corpses piled up on it appeared in her mind.

"You keep 'saving' your subjects, but never 'guidance' them. They don't know what the 'King's **' is. You leave your lost subjects alone, in a holy gesture, for yourself Intoxicated by the kind of petty ideals." Iskandar who ignored the changes in Saber continued without a pause.

"So you are not a qualified king. You just want to be a 'king' who cares about the people, a little girl who is bound in a cocoon in order to become that kind of idol."

"I..." Saber, who had more and more scenes in her mind, was speechless when Iskandar's words refuted her.

But soon, Saber's expression changed, she turned her head and looked straight at Gilgamesh who was sizing her up with crimson eyes.

"Archer, why are you looking at me?" Noticing something in Gilgamesh's eyes, Saber asked with displeasure.

"Ah, I'm just admiring your distressed expression." Gilgamesh smiled unexpectedly and gently, "It's like a virgin-like expression scattered flowers on the couch, I like it."

"You!" Saber, whose face was full of anger, slammed the old cup to the ground.

However, at this moment, the expressions of everyone in the field except Weber changed in unison, and they paid attention to their surroundings.

Then, one after another, figures in black tights and white skull masks appeared on the river bank under the moonlight, faintly surrounding everyone in the center.

It's assassin.

"Sure enough, it's still here." Ito, who was in the body of the black cat, thought to himself.

Just like what I thought when I invited many servants here to gather here, as in the original book, in order to inquire about information, and maybe there is still a trace of wanting to see if I can take this opportunity to be lucky enough to win a heroic spirit, Assassin was indeed assigned by Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"It's just a pity that Kariya Matou and his Berserker didn't come, otherwise it would have turned this place into a battleground and speeded up the entire Holy Grail War." Then, the black cat muttered regretfully.

"What's going on?! Why are assassins one after another... Isn't there only one servant for each class?!" At this moment, Wei Bo, who was startled by the scene in front of him, screamed.

"You're right, we are servants who take the whole as an individual, and the individual is just a shadow of the whole." The assassins laughed evilly.Because many people speak at the same time, their voices are like echoes echoing in the canyon, full of hollowness and flaws.

"Ri——rider, hello, hello..." Seeing the assassin getting closer, Weber clung to the hand of Iskandar who was still sitting there, drinking glass after glass of the fine wine provided by Gilgamesh. Over his shoulder, he said with a trembling voice full of fear.

"Hey kid, don't be so embarrassing. It's just that there are guests at the banquet, and the wine is still drinking." Iskandar said indifferently.

"I don't seem to have invited you... But since you are here, you are also my guests. But what do you mean by your behavior now? Do you want to start a fight?" The black cat, who was the host of the banquet, walked to In front of many assassins, squinting the golden cat's eyes strangely said.

The assassins were silent for a while, and then one of the assassins suddenly rushed in front of the black cat and kicked the black cat's body.

The black cat bowed and leaped lightly, jumped onto Assassin's legs, ran up as quickly as if stepping on flat ground, and came to Assassin's shoulders, swung a pair of cat claws swiftly, bringing out a cold light to catch Assassin's body mask.

Assassin patted the black cat with one hand.The black cat immediately stopped its attack, jumped up, dodged Assassin's slap, then kicked on Assassin's mask with its hind legs, and jumped back to the ground, squinting at the Assassins in front of it.

"It seems that you really want to start a war." The black cat said softly.

Responding to him was still Assassin's attack.And at the same time, other assassins also attacked Saber, Rider, Archer, and Lancer who was guarding the black cat.

"What a bunch of unwelcome guys." Iskandar said with a calm expression as the old water in his hand was knocked to the ground by the dagger thrown by Assassin.But his appearance is more dangerous than when he was angry with Saber just now.

Then the magic power broke out, and a whirlwind spread around him around him.

The wind is hot and dry, as if it wants to burn everything.This does not belong to the breeze by the river at night, but it seems to be blown from the desert.

"Saber, and Archer, the last question of the banquet—is the king alone?" Iskandar asked loudly after forcing an assassin away with the sword of Cyprus.

For this question, Archer laughed and did not answer.

"The king... is naturally aloof." Saber replied without wavering.On this point, the King of Knights, who is the embodiment of lofty ideals, is rarely in agreement with the King of Conquerors and the proud Oldest King.

Iskandar laughed out loud.And as a reflection, the hot wind that seemed to blow from the desert became more violent.

"No, doesn't it mean that there is no answer! Today I will teach you what a real king is! At the same time, it can also be regarded as a return gift to the inviter." Iskandar said loudly.

After the words fell, the hot wind roared, eroding the field of vision, forcing the assassins to stop attacking and retreat temporarily.

Then at the next moment, a golden-yellow boundless desert baked under the scorching sun brought the river bank and green grass before, filling everyone's field of vision and becoming the 'world'.

This is the great magic that can replace the 'world' - the inherent enchantment! (to be continued..)
