Therefore, the atmosphere between the two became tense again, and even more confrontational.

Neither Bai Ye nor Saber showed any intention of backing down, leaving Irisviel, caught in the middle, feeling quite awkward.

She already knew it was a misunderstanding. If she had understood from the beginning and apologized, it wouldn't have been so awkward.

It would be even better if we could explain things clearly to that "witch".

But now the situation has clearly shifted to the other side; the two of them are now engaged in a fierce battle in a very dangerous area, with neither side giving an inch!

Sigh, this is really bad. She really doesn't want these two to start arguing, or even look like they're about to fight at any moment.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere was now beyond her ability to ease.

"Do you think there's a way? Even if you really get the Holy Grail and go back to the past, what do you plan to do? Are you planning to become king again?"

Bai Ye asked indifferently, a slight smile playing on his lips.

However, Saber saw this as a mocking smile, which made her even more annoyed.

He must have known her purpose through his "precognitive" ability.

But she didn't believe that he could even know about the future!

"No, I won't do it again. I have too many things to do, and how will I know if I'll succeed if I don't try?"

"What you're talking about isn't simply finding a similar successor, then secretly mentoring them to become the new king while you silently protect Britain from behind the scenes... is it some kind of old cliché?"

"…173…"

he……

How do you know?

Upon hearing Bai Ye's assumption, Saber, who was supposed to refute it, immediately fell silent.

Alice was also taken aback when she saw it.

In fact, Saber did tell her about this. That was the first time Saber had heard of the "Holy Grail" in the novel.

So, Alice jokingly asked Saber what she thought, saying that if she went back in time, how would she change Britain...

The result was exactly the same as what Teacher Ye had said!

Can he even "predict" what Saber is thinking?!

"...Is there a problem with this kind of thinking?"

Saber neither admitted nor denied it, but instead asked another question.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking, that she had made a mistake, and that she needed to change.

So is there a problem with making someone else the king of Britain?

"No problem, I don't mind if you want to think that way, but I do have a question."

"What questions?"

"Since you are unwilling, it means you lack the confidence to be a king. Then what makes you think that the thought slaves you've nurtured can become qualified kings?!"

"..." x2

When Bai Ye said the last sentence, he almost shouted it out.

Saber's pupils dilated instantly, her eyes lost their luster, and she was momentarily at a loss for how to explain herself.

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to admit that you destroyed the country with your own hands. As for who destroyed it, you don't really care, do you?"

"..."

Maybe……

He's absolutely right.

Saber did not refute Bai Ye's accusations and mockery.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I have no choice.

Normally, she can refute most things, and as a queen, she naturally has excellent eloquence.

But when she faced this man, she found that her jargon was completely meaningless.

What he was asking was what she was most worried about and least wanted to face.

She didn't want to admit that she had destroyed Great Britain with her own hands, even if it was ultimately destroyed by someone else. She accepted it, at least she had tried...

But Bai Ye saw through this idea.

"If that's the case, why don't you just write a novel about yourself traveling back to Great Britain and changing your destiny? That way you can at least fulfill your own wish~"

Bai Ye laughed and joked easily, but to Saber, his joking tone sounded quite sarcastic.

Does he mean that she has absolutely no chance of succeeding and that it's just wishful thinking on her part?

She knew, of course, that the success rate of this matter was extremely low.

but……

"Even so, so what? No matter what, I still hope to change the fate of this nation! My sword was born to protect my people!"

If she isn't going to do this, who will?

Do you feel that someone will be there to support you?

"No, but even if I'm all alone, I will keep going, whether you think I'm hypocritical or vain or not, it doesn't matter!"

The more Saber talked, the more confident she became.

She had lost her composure because of what Bai Ye said.

Actually, she didn't need to listen to this man at all. She was King Arthur, why should she listen to a boy who was only ten years old...

"I see. I always felt something was off. Let me ask you this: if your people refused to let you start over, would you do the same?"

"Eh?"

But upon hearing this, Saber, who had just regained her composure, was stunned again, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked.

"...Why would my people refuse?"

"I also want to ask, why didn't they refuse? Saber, why do you think that doing it again would definitely be better?"

"It might not be good, but at least there's a chance to restore their country! They used to live in a happy and peaceful country, but then..."

"After that, did they stop living their lives because their country was gone? Did everyone commit suicide because of your mistake? Don't take yourself too seriously, Saber."

"..."

Then, Bai Ye left him speechless.

Saber might be quite adept at handling government affairs.

However, in verbal battles, she was still far inferior to a seasoned "keyboard warrior" who had been skilled at online arguments for many years.

"Even if the kingdom falls apart, the remaining citizens still have the right to choose their own future. Perhaps they can regain a happy life in a new country, but you have arbitrarily changed their fate because of your own ideas. If your changes turn their happiness into hell, they will curse you for the rest of their lives."

"I...I will definitely prevent this from happening! And there are others who are the opposite; their original destiny is hell, so they are waiting for me to save them..."

"You are, after all, their king. Do they regret following you? If they do, they would already be living their own lives. But if they don't regret it, then your behavior is the greatest insult to those who once steadfastly supported you!"

"..."

When he finished speaking, Bai Ye's voice was louder than ever before, almost shouting it out.

But faced with this roar, Saber seemed utterly powerless, unable to refute anything at all.

"And let's take a step back. The future of millions of people in a country is changed because of your actions. And if you want to perpetuate that, it could involve even more. Do you want to change the fate of billions of people? Because of your words and deeds, hundreds of millions of people lose their lives. Are you satisfied with that?"

"..."

Upon hearing the question from the man in front of her, Saber fell even more silent, remaining completely still.

Although it's hard to admit, that's probably the reality.

Even if she could really go back to the past, it would be difficult for her to change Britain, and she herself was well aware of this.

What's worse, even if things do change, will the outcome be good?

Thinking of this, Saber gripped her sword, but for the first time, she felt her hand was empty, devoid of any real feeling.

A sword can only kill, but it cannot protect those who have already been lost.

Ultimately, she was a complete failure as a queen...

"So, more than a king, you're a 'public servant,' aren't you?"

"Eh?"

Just as she was lost in thought, this peculiar title brought her back to her senses, and she looked at Bai Ye with a surprised expression.

He, who had just been looking serious and even a little angry, suddenly broke into a relaxed smile.

What does it mean?

"No matter what, your original intention was for the good of the people, right? Have you ever doubted that?"

"No, I have never doubted or questioned this."

To Bai Ye's question, Saber answered decisively, her eyes filled with confidence and without any hesitation.

"That's enough. You're just a human being after all. Why force yourself to act like an omnipotent god? I think the reason you're working so hard is because you want to go back to the past and have fun with your companions, right? They're very important to you, aren't they?"

"...Yes, it's very important."

"So, having done so much for them, I think it's time for you to take a break."

"Is it really possible?"
