National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

Wu Yue and Kiritsugu Emiya sat facing each other, while Artoria and Irisviel sat on the bed.

The two talked for a while, briefly explaining the situation, and Wu Yue took the opportunity to express his desire to cooperate with Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes were lifeless, and he spoke hesitantly.

"Your purpose in cooperating with me is not the Holy Grail, nor anything else. What is it that you are after, the legendary British emperor, Artoria Pendragon?"

"To save everyone I can save, everyone I know, Kiritsugu Emiya."

Wu Yue took a sip of tea, tasted it, and felt something was off.

I thought to myself, Artoria's tea-brewing skills seem a bit lacking...

continued.

"I don't want the omnipotent wish-granting machine or the Holy Grail. To be honest, I have other purposes for cooperating with you. I can't say what they are yet, but I can assure you with the dignity of a king that what I want and what you want are mutually exclusive."

"I will help you deal with the other six factions in this Holy Grail War without expecting anything in return. The most troublesome Archer Gilgamesh can also be left to me."

Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes were vacant; he was deep in thought.

The woman in front of me... is very likely a mature individual from a parallel universe of the Servant Black Saber, a queen of Britain, and seems to possess the ability to change her physical form.

Its origins and purpose were unclear before it appeared. It appeared suddenly, and no one knew what it wanted to do.

However, it cannot be denied that they are extremely powerful, capable of fighting against Servants with their bare hands...

Kiritsugu Emiya turned to look at Artoria beside him.

"What is your relationship with that lady? Could you explain if it's not inconvenient?"

Wu Yue glanced at Artoria, remembered the explanation he had discussed with her the night before, and nodded in response.

“She is my sister, Artoria Pendragon.”

"younger sister……"

Kiritsugu Emiya's expression clearly showed surprise, as did Irisviel, while only Saber Alter, hidden in the shadows, frowned slightly.

Chapter 226 Give me the substitute Master of Black Saber, and give me money.

“She is my younger sister, Artoria Pendragon.”

Wu Yue said this, which surprised both Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice, while only the spirit form of Saber Alter frowned.

"My younger sister..."

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Artoria.

Artoria got up from the bed and very politely performed a royal gesture.

"As my sister Artoria said, my name is Artoria Pendragon. I am a prince and a knight who protects my sister. In this Holy Grail War, I will join my sister to help you. Please take good care of me."

Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel were taken aback for a moment, and were about to stand up and return the greeting in response to this royal etiquette, when Artoria immediately spoke up.

"You don't need to worry about me right now, and etiquette can be avoided. If anything happens, you can tell my sister, and she will tell you."

Artoria smiled.

“Ah… umm… then please allow me, Irisviel von Einzbern, to make this impolite gesture.”

Alice said this, but still stood up to return the greeting and introduced herself.

After all, she now believes that Wu Yue is Artoria, the King of Britain, and has royal blood, so her younger sister Artoria should naturally be the same.

Although one's own family is not as prestigious as royalty, one should still show basic courtesy in return.

Wu Yue watched from the side, then lowered his head to drink his tea again, using this to hide his desire to laugh.

To be honest, I was quite surprised that Artoria agreed to my request to be her younger sister last night...

Even now, it still feels so unreal...

But looking at Artoria now, she's introducing herself so earnestly.

How come I'm actually enjoying it? If the situation weren't so restrictive, I would have burst out laughing right there.

"So, is this how the King of Britain truly appears?"

Emiya Kiritsugu spoke again.

Wu Yue thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

"That's right. My previous juvenile form was just a means of concealment, allowing me to better integrate into modern life."

"I see, I understand. Now, let me first explain my plans for this Holy Grail War, specifically regarding Alice and Saber Alter..."

Emiya Kiritsugu began to tell Wu Yue about his various ideas, when to cause trouble, when to carry out assassinations...

Wu Yue frowned upon hearing this, somewhat annoyed.

"Emiya Kiritsugu."

Wu Yue interrupted Emiya Kiritsugu, looking at him coldly.

"Don't lie! Tell me the truth!"

Kiritsugu Emiya suddenly became a little nervous, looking at the woman in front of him and at her emerald green eyes.

"How dare you boast that you have a plan to blow up the largest empty warehouse in Fuyuki City tomorrow night? No target, no intelligence, just me doing this, just using me as a decoy? A pawn?!"

A thought!

The Gate of Babylon activates! Three golden vortexes of magic begin to appear behind it! The front part of the weapon also gradually emerges!

A dazzling golden light began to shine outwards!

Kiritsugu Emiya immediately stood up and reached into his pocket!

There was a gun in his pocket.

It's clear the situation has changed!

Black Saber instantly materialized into a spirit form, intending to pull Alice, who was sitting very close to Artoria!

The movements were swift! But Artoria's movements were even faster! She merely raised her hand slightly!

Alice, standing nearby, widened her eyes in surprise! She felt a gust of wind rush towards her neck!

You can even clearly feel your hair being blown around!

"Do not move!"

Artoria stopped Alter Alter from making her next move!

Alice was momentarily stunned! She had no idea what was happening!

Kiritsugu Emiya didn't tell me anything. Does he have some kind of plan?

And Artoria next to her... why... she wasn't holding anything in her hands...

But I instinctively felt something standing upright next to my neck?

Cool...

Damn it! Was that some kind of magic trick?!

"Don't touch Alice! This is the Noble Phantasm Wind King Barrier! The weapon in her hand is covered by the power of the wind!"

Blackie quickly explained the current situation to Alice!

"Wind King Barrier... Noble Phantasm..."

Alice was extremely surprised... she couldn't believe such a thing could happen...

"Hey! Why did this happen?! Why didn't Alice and I know about this plan?! Master, what are you thinking?!"

Black Saber turned around angrily and questioned Kiritsugu Emiya!

Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth, and after confirming Alice's safety, he looked back at the woman in front of him...

Damn it! It's not that simple after all! I misjudged the woman in front of me!

Wu Yue was also watching Artoria's situation and saw Artoria holding the Excalibur of the Wind King's Barrier against Alice's neck.

That was, after all, Illya's biological mother... although I knew Artoria would know what she was doing...

But still...

In the live broadcast room, there was a lot of heated discussion about the current situation. Most of the comments were about how Emiya Kiritsugu was overestimating himself and why he would try to outsmart Wu Yue. They said he was simply brainless.

Meanwhile, at home, in the living room...

…………

…………

Ilya, clutching her teddy bear, watched TV with a nervous and somewhat frightened expression.

"Mother……"

"It's alright, Miss Ilya."

A voice sounded from the side, and Ilya turned her head to look at it, only to see Muzan smiling at her.

"Don't worry, Master is absolutely kind, I can assure you."

"Mmm...I know...Thank you, Muzan..."
