Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice II

Chapter 287

These two kings differed greatly from her own king, displaying stark contrasts in their personalities and ambitions.

One of them embodied a proud and domineering ruler, firmly convinced that all worldly treasures belonged exclusively to him. He exuded arrogance, placing himself at the center of everything and judging others solely by his own standards.

On the other hand, the second king possessed a bold and ambitious spirit, fueled by an unwavering dream of conquering the world. He traversed vast lands and engaged in epic battles with renowned heroes, finding immense joy in the grandeur and glory of his pursuits.

In comparison, she seemed rather fragile and delicate in nature.

Throughout her existence, she had tirelessly followed the path of the Eternal King, constantly chasing after his shadow without carving out her own unique path.

If one were to identify a regal quality within her, it would perhaps lie in the genuine smiles of the people residing in her kingdom. However, even that seemed too ethereal and intangible.

And so, she began to narrate her personal understanding of the Eternal King's extraordinary journey.

"I see, so it's a flame," remarked the conquering king, his hand gently stroking his chin as he erupted into hearty laughter. "There are indeed some intriguing similarities between us, this Eternal King and myself, two conquerors bound by a shared spirit of ambition. Hey, Archer, don't keep quiet. Share your thoughts."

"Hmph," Archer scoffed, crossing his arms defiantly before responding, "I do not concern myself with passing judgment on those who dare to defy fate. Such individuals hold little interest for me."

"Very well. But King of Knights, here we are, three kings gathered from different nations and eras. It is now your turn to share your story. I hold great admiration for you, as someone who defeated Attila, a conqueror similar to myself. You possess the qualities of a true king who can rival me. It's your turn to speak about yourself." Iskandar expressed.

"I am merely a guardian of my homeland."

"A protector of your country, huh? Speaking of which, King of Knights, we've all shared our wishes upon obtaining the Holy Grail. What is your wish?" Iskandar asked.

"I want to save my homeland. I want to change the fate of the kingdom's downfall. I wish I could go back to the day of selection and refuse to draw the sword!" the girl said resolutely. As she finished speaking, a heavy silence descended upon the group.

The first to be puzzled by this silence was the girl herself.

Although her words were grand, the others present were not easily swayed. While her statement was unexpected, it was also understandable.

Typically, when faced with such a statement, whether in praise or refutation, someone would promptly respond. Yet, an eerie silence hung in the air.

"I say, King of Knights, could it be that I misheard?" Iskandar finally broke the silence, his face displaying a confused expression for some reason. He asked, "Are you suggesting that you wish to alter fate? To overturn history?"

"Yes. No matter how impossible it may appear, with the almighty Holy Grail in our possession, I believe it can grant even the most unimaginable wishes," the girl nodded, affirming her stance.

"Ah, Saber? Just to confirm, the destruction of that kingdom should have taken place during your era, under your reign?" Iskandar asked.

"Yes! That's why I can't forgive myself," the girl replied, her tone growing more determined. "I'm filled with discontent and I want to change the outcome! After all, I'm the one responsible for such a tragic ending."
