In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Although Rider did not show any hostility, Saber remained wary.

"Rider, what are you doing here?"

Mordred scoffed:

"You didn't come here just to show off your new pants, did you?"

"Huh? Can't you tell?"

Rider frowned, then immediately picked up the wooden wine bottle from the chariot. "Of course I'm here to have a drink with you! Alright, stop standing there and lead the way. Isn't there a suitable courtyard for drinking around here?"

-----------------

Beside the flowerbed in the castle courtyard.

Snapped!

Rider smashed the barrel lid with his fist, scooped up a spoonful of wine with a bamboo ladle, drank it all in one gulp, and then handed the ladle to Saber.

Do you want to die?

Before Saber could even speak, Berserker had already angrily drawn his sword and pointed it at Rider.

"what?"

Rider was baffled, staring at the spoon handle for a while before realizing what was happening, his expression somewhat hurt.

"We're all followers, you don't have to be so disgusted with me, do you?"

Mordred!

Saber frowned and called out softly.

Mordred scoffed and reluctantly sheathed his sword.

Rider exclaimed in amazement:

"I never imagined that the legendary rebellious knight would be like this. Once he regained his senses, he was clearly the most loyal knight. Why was he rumored in history to be the traitor who ended the legend of King Arthur?"

"Rumors? That's no rumor."

Saber said calmly.

“I did indeed betray my father, seizing control of Camelot while he was away on his campaign against Rome. Although I was ultimately killed by my father on the hill of Camlann, I delivered the final blow before my death, and this war ultimately led to the destruction of Britain!”

Mordred proudly raised his head, practically writing "Yes, I did it" on his face.

"..."

Rider and Webber's expressions became extremely subtle.

While this is exactly as described in history, if history is true, then why is your relationship still so harmonious? Especially Mordred now, everyone who sees her would call her a 'loyal dog'!

Is such unwavering loyalty really what a rebellious knight should look like?

And Saber, she actually exposed her back to the person who betrayed you. Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back by her?

That was indeed the case at first.

Berserker goes berserk the moment he sees Saber, completely ignoring his Master's orders and immediately unleashing his Noble Phantasm to fight Saber to the death.

How long has it been?

How did he go from being a rebellious knight to the loyal Hachiko?

What exactly happened in between?

Rider asked with a subtle expression:

"Well, anyway, you're a rebellious knight and King Arthur's illegitimate son, right?"

"Yes."

"You resented King Arthur for not passing the throne to you, so you usurped it, right?"

"Nonsense! I never intended to usurp my father's throne!"

Mordred angrily rebuked Rider for his rudeness and nearly drew his sword again.

Rider was speechless for a moment, then used the spoon to scoop up another spoonful of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

No, why are you getting angry at me?

The person in question is sitting right in front of you, with their back completely exposed to you. Why don't you just take it out on them?

Furthermore, if it wasn't for usurping the throne, why did you instigate a rebellion? Since you've already admitted that you started the rebellion, why are you in such a hurry?

Rider figured it out: the relationship between this 'father and son' could only be described in two words—awkward, incredibly awkward!

"Never mind, I have no right to judge others."

Rider seemed to remember something, paused briefly, sighed, and didn't delve any further.

This is probably what people mean when they say that every family has its own problems.

Saber has a rebellious 'son,' and doesn't he also have a rebellious sister?

"Enough of this nonsense, you bastard."

A dazzling golden light flashed in the courtyard, and Archer, clad in golden armor, emerged from it, his attitude extremely arrogant.

-----------------

"Although Saber and Berserker's Masters haven't shown up, Rider and his Master are enjoying their feast without any precautions, which presents a perfect opportunity for a sneak attack. In this situation, whether we have a chance of winning or not is not the issue. Even if Assassin fails, as long as we can grasp the difference in combat power between ourselves and the enemy, our objective will be achieved."

Inside the Tohsaka family's underground workshop, Tokiomi Tohsaka unhesitatingly issued orders to his nominal disciple:

"Now we can begin, Kirei!"

"No objections. It will take about 10 minutes to gather all the Assassins."

"Alright, issue the order. Although this is a high-stakes gamble, fortunately we won't suffer any losses. Command the Assassins with Command Spells: regardless of sacrifice, strive for victory!"

-----------------

"You think that because you have no idea what real wine is! You bastard."

Archer, who scoffed at the wine Rider brought, was surrounded by a golden vortex, but what emerged from it was not sharp weapons, but a series of wine vessels inlaid with dazzling gems.

The heavy golden bottle was filled with a colorless, clear liquid.

“Look carefully, and remember this is the real ‘King’s Wine’.”

Archer's words were as arrogant as ever, but Rider didn't mind at all and happily began pouring them drinks.

"Alice".

Inside the meeting room, Yoshikage Kira, who was also witnessing this scene through the crystal ball, suddenly spoke up, "What do you think we should offer to pay for his drinks?"

Irisviel immediately understood what he meant and blinked:

"The Einzbern family does possess a suitable treasure. Shall I instruct my maid to fetch it?"

Yoshikage Kira nodded:

"Remember to let me touch it first."

Just touch it.

Chapter 231 Arguments are foolish; what matters is a heart full of love!

"I want to be reborn into this world and live as a human!"

Rider makes no attempt to hide his desires, which surprises Weber, who has always believed that Rider's wish is to conquer the world.

Waver originally thought that Rider's dislike of spiritification and insistence on appearing in physical form was a quirk. Indeed, although Servants can speak, dress, eat, and so on like humans, their essence is no different from that of ghosts.

Iskandar, the Conqueror, stared at his clenched fist and murmured:

"To challenge the heavens and earth with one's own body—that is the essence of 'conquest.' To begin, to advance, and to ultimately achieve this—that is my domineering way!"

Archer's face revealed a sinister smile, different from his usual mocking one:

"It's decided, Rider, I will kill you with my own hands."

"I think there's no need for you to remind me now. You should be prepared. Not only the Holy Grail, but I also want to plunder your entire treasury!"

Rider flashed a hearty smile and raised his glass to Archer. Despite being enemies, they chatted amiably like long-lost friends, their faces beaming with knowing smiles.

Saber simply drank silently throughout, quietly listening to the two men's wishes.

Archer considered everything in the world as his possession, including the Holy Grail.

Rider wants to gain a physical body and conquer the world from scratch.

But neither Archer nor Rider shared Saber's ideals, and she could not agree with either of them!

Compared to true kings, they were nothing but tyrants.

"Hey Saber, tell me your wish too."

Rider turned his gaze to Saber, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"I have no wishes."

"what?"

Rider frowned. "Nothing?"

"To be precise, I have no desires that I must rely on the Holy Grail to fulfill."

Saber's tone was incredibly calm, but it was precisely this calmness that made Rider even more incredulous.

"I'm telling you, you really don't have any wishes at all? If you don't have any wishes to place in the Holy Grail, how could you be summoned by it?"

It is precisely because of their thirst for the Holy Grail that these Servants, who had already ascended to the Throne of Heroes, were summoned by it—this is only natural. But now Saber claims she has no desires; this is completely putting the cart before the horse!

Rider believed Saber wasn't lying; they were all kings, and since they were gathered here, they should be open and honest with each other.

Both he and Archer were honest with each other, so there was no reason for Saber to lie about such a thing. Because whatever her wish was, or whether she had a wish at all, didn't change the fact that they were enemies.

and so.

How exactly did you manage to be summoned by the Holy Grail without having any desires?

"Tsk."

Mordred scoffed, "Really no wish? Is your wish to change the fate of Britain's destruction?"
