My mother's love song

Although the weather outside was very cold, everyone who participated in the banquet was full of enthusiasm.

Rider brought the wine bottle to the courtyard, and the two Servants sat down face to face and confronted each other leisurely.

He smashed the lid of the barrel with his fist, and the rich aroma of red wine immediately filled the air in the atrium.

"Ah, speaking of which, there is a man here who claims to be the King."

Iskandar suddenly raised his head and gave a malicious smile.

"Enough with the joking, bastard."

As if in response to Rider’s ambiguous words, a dazzling golden light flashed across the open space.

The original hero, dressed in golden armor, appeared in the courtyard of Einzbern Castle.

"Archer..."

Lancer raised his eyebrows, showing him open hostility.

"Huh, it seems someone doesn't welcome me."

Gilgamesh placed one hand on his waist, responding to the hostility from the Knight King with a frivolous but murderous smile.

Rider noticed that the atmosphere had become tense and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Ah, when I saw him on the street I asked him to have a drink with me but he was still late, Golden. But he walked unlike me, so I can't blame him.

I say...is your relationship so bad?"

"Humph……"

Gilgamesh folded his arms and turned away.

Although in FateZero, the Hero King was once obsessed with the Knight King and wanted to collect her as his own collection.

However, he seems to have a completely opposite attitude towards Lancer Altria.

The tall figure, the overly plump body, the goddess aura lingering around her, and the pair of clairvoyant eyes that glow faintly in the dark night.

The Knight King of the Holy Lance is a concentrated collection of all the annoying elements of the Hero King.

Incidentally.

Whether it's the pursuit of Saber Altria in "FZ", or the love between young Flash and an underage human girl in "FHA", or the gentle attitude towards the young female master in "FSF"...

All signs indicate that mankind's oldest hero king is suspected to be a lolita control freak.

No wonder he and Lancer don't get along.

"It's a pity that you chose such a shabby place to hold the banquet. You only have such taste. You made me rush here specially. How are you going to apologize?"

Gilgamesh ignored Lancer and spoke to Rider.

"Don't say that. Come on, have a drink first."

The giant smiled boldly and handed him a spoon full of wine. The latter simply took the spoon and drank the wine in it.

"What kind of inferior wine is this? How can you use this kind of wine to fight between heroes?"

A vortex of virtual space appeared behind the sneering Hero King.

A series of drinking vessels inlaid with dazzling gems appeared from the entrance of the treasure house.

The heavy golden vessel was filled with colorless, clear liquid.

"Look, this is the wine of kings."

Lancer and Rider took the golden goblet curiously.

"Ohhh, it's so delicious! Is this really brewed by humans? Could it be a creation of God!?"

Iskandar's eyes widened and he praised it exaggeratedly.

Gilgamesh's collection was undoubtedly the finest wine, and even Artoria, who was not too interested in such indulgences as wine, nodded silently.

The three kings, immersed in the taste of fine wine, began to talk about the way of kingship.

Like drunken nonsense, the heroic king, Gilgamesh, arbitrarily regarded the Holy Grail as his own treasure.

His purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was to punish the bastards who coveted his treasure.

"I cannot let go of the guy who stole my treasure. This is a matter of principle. This is the law I made as a king."

"Ah."

After listening to Gilgamesh's words, Rider sighed deeply.

"What a perfect king, able to enforce the laws he has set. But, I still want the Holy Grail very much, and my way of doing things is to go and get it if I want it."

Because the Holy Grail was there, and because he wanted it so badly, he decided to steal it. This was him, the King of Conquerors, Iskandar.

Iskandar's wish is to become a human being and achieve new hegemony in this world.

"Because it is the basis of conquest."

He muttered, staring at his clenched fists.

"Having a body, marching towards the heavens and earth, and carrying out my conquests is my way to be a king. But now I don't have a body, this won't work. Without this, nothing can begin. I must have a body."

After hearing his words, Gilgamesh showed a different smile than before. Compared with his usual mocking expression, there was a more sinister layer in it.

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

"Haha, you are still saying this now. You should be aware of it as soon as possible. Not only the Holy Grail, I also plan to loot your treasure house. You are really too careless to let the King of Conqueror drink such fine wine."

Rider laughed wildly.

"Hey, Lancer, tell me your wish too."

The King of Conquerors finally turned to the King of Knights.

During the banquet, Altria kept having a bored expression.

"I have no wishes," she answered.

Perhaps King Arthur once wanted to use the Holy Grail to save his country and completely deny his own life, but that thought has long disappeared with the deification of the world.

"If you have no wishes, then why are you here?" Iskandar asked in confusion.

She said calmly: "Save the world."

Gilgamesh: "Hmph."

Iskandar: "Oh, oh, this is really... a big plan."

Irisviel: “…Ahahaha.”

Weber: “…What?”

Everyone in the room was speechless.

Lancer's meticulously serious expression showed that she was not joking, so Rider asked with a dry laugh.

"Uh, saving the world...how do you do that, exactly?"

The King of Knights did not answer the King of Conquerors' question.

Even if I told them, these two tyrants wouldn't understand.

If you want to say why.

The object that Altria decided to explore and pursue for the rest of her life was the great evil that was born from the desires of people like Rider and Archer.

At the end of human desires, the terrible beast of apocalypse [Master Telion] will awaken according to prophecy.

In order to defeat the scarlet beast recorded in the holy book, the Eternal King who returned from the end gave up his ideals and emotions.

Artoria is now somewhere between a hero and a god.

He is the savior appointed by the restraining force.

"Your sister's wish is not to save Britain, but to save the world?"

Even Rhodes and the Queen who were hiding in the attic above were slightly surprised by Altria.

Rather than the Knight King, she is more like a Holy Sword User...but she clearly doesn't have a Holy Sword, so what's going on?

Ah, there are so many Altria species that it’s hard to get around them.

With a long sigh, Rhodes leaned back and rested the back of his head on Morgan's soft, towering breasts.

"Hey...if Morgan becomes king, what would he want to do?"

"I don't know." She replied calmly.

"what?"

This time it was Rhodes' turn to be shocked. The Fairy Concubine, who was more obsessed with the British throne than anyone else, had never thought about the responsibilities, obligations or ambitions of being a king?

If Iskandar and Gilgamesh are tyrants, then Morgan is a tyrant.

At this moment, Morgan made a choking sound that was deeper than usual.

"I haven't thought about what I should do after becoming king, but... the crown of Britain should be mine, right?"

""

Morgan hugged Rod's body tightly, buried his face in his hair and sobbed silently.

This was the first time the cold fairy princess cried since she was told that her sister would inherit the throne.

The first time she met someone she could trust, her suppressed emotions finally erupted.

"Originally... that should have been mine.

I just want to get my stuff back... is that wrong?"

Morgan's voice sounded like an accusation against the whole world.

As the only child of King Uther of Britain and Queen Igraine, he should naturally be the first legal heir to the throne of Britain.

However, she was not even allowed the opportunity to compete for the throne.

Whether it's his father's approval, the sage's teachings, or the challenge of the Sword in the Stone...all of them are worlds that have nothing to do with Morgan.

She just wanted to take back the throne from her sister, but she was denounced by the world as an evil and lustful enchantress.

"..."

Rhodes didn't know what to say, so he raised his hand silently to wipe the tears from her face.

If Arthur were in her place, there would be no monarch who would do a better job than her, and human reason made the right choice.

Morgan clearly had the legal right of inheritance and possessed extraordinary mind and talent, but he did not even have the opportunity to govern the country.

Perhaps there is no right or wrong between King Arthur and Morgan, and it is not right for an outsider like me to interfere in the fight between the sisters.

Rod jumped off Morgan's lap.

"…Are you going to leave me, Master?"

The witch's moist eyes trembled along with her dry voice.

Rhode scratched his head helplessly and said to her, "I want to go to your room to play for a while later. I'm going to end this boring party now."

After leaving these words, Rhodes jumped down from the attic.

……

“Save the world? Hahahaha!

He is not even a king, but just a lion locked in a cage in a circus for people to see."

After three rounds of drinks, Archer suddenly spoke coldly to Lancer.

"Whatever you think, Archer. Although I no longer exercise the power of a king, I will never allow anyone to question my status as king."

At this moment, a loud bang was heard several dozen meters away from the banquet venue.

"?"

Everyone in the atrium looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a black-haired boy leisurely walking out from the swaying shadows of the trees.

"Ally, you should escape back to the castle first."

Rhode walked to Irisviel's side and muttered in a low voice that only they could hear.

"Wait? When is wait?"
