"If you want my Treasures, be prepared to be blasted into dust!"

Rin coveted Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms, but he didn't need to directly snatch them.

Anyway, once the Resolution was reached, Rin could obtain anything.

"Alright, alright, let's calm down for now."

Iskandar said with a wry smile, stopping Gilgamesh, who was still about to retort.

"Archer, your top-grade wine is indeed suitable for being held in the most precious wine cups."

"But unfortunately, the Holy Grail is not a wine cup."

"This is a Holy Grail question and answer session to test who is most qualified to obtain the Holy Grail. First, let's hear what great wish you have placed upon the Holy Grail, otherwise, we can't even begin to discuss it."

"So, the oldest Hero King, Gilgamesh."

Iskandar: "Why do you want to obtain the Holy Grail?"

Heroic Spirits, as beings, should not be without desires.

Since they have manifested in this world, they must have a pursuit for the Holy Grail.

"Stop giving orders, mongrel."

Gilgamesh: "Moreover, the premise of 'contending for the Holy Grail' itself already violates common sense."

"To be precise, it was originally my possession."

"Tracing its origin, there is no tangible object in the world that did not come from my treasury."

"Although a long time has passed, some things are always lost, but those treasures still belong to me."

This answer, however, piqued everyone's curiosity.

Even Artoria began to inquire, wanting to know if the Holy Grail truly possessed the power to grant wishes.

"Do not judge by the standards of mongrels."

Gilgamesh: "The total number of Noble Phantasms I possess has long since exceeded what I know, but as long as that item is a 'Treasure,' it can be confirmed to be my property."

"Is that so?"

Iskandar understood. "A Noble Phantasm that symbolizes the prototype of all treasures, this is the true nature of your Noble Phantasms. Truly worthy of being the legendary Hero King."

"Taking back what rightfully belongs to you, this reason is reasonable and justifiable."

Rin no longer targeted Gilgamesh, and his response was somewhat unexpected by Gilgamesh.

"If that's the case, then you actually don't need to be too serious, do you?"

Iskandar: "It's just a cup, after all. For you, it shouldn't be much, right?"

"Nonsense!"

Gilgamesh: "I have no reason to bestow treasures upon mongrels like you."

Iskandar: "Is the legendary Hero King such a stingy fellow?"

"Foolish. The only ones who should receive my grace are my subjects and my people."

"So, Rider, if you submit to me, I can give you one or two cups at any time."

Clearly, such a thing was impossible.

And the reason Gilgamesh gave was actually very simple.

It was, what I give you is yours, if I don't give it to you, you cannot take it.

He didn't care about the outcome of the Holy Grail War, nor did he care about a mere Holy Grail.

What angered Gilgamesh was that someone dared to challenge his authority, the laws he had established.

"In that case, the only thing left is to meet with blades."

Tonight's King's Discourse, Iskandar had already received his answer from Gilgamesh. "My way is that if I want it, I take it by force, because I, Iskandar, am the Conqueror."

"Then there's nothing more to say."

The two could not reconcile.

Because true Kings always believe in their own ideals.

However, this did not mean that Gilgamesh disliked Iskandar.

On the contrary, both felt the reason and spirit of each other's kingship.

At least in terms of being a King, they were not superior or inferior.

And in the subsequent discourse, Iskandar also stated his reason for wanting to obtain the Holy Grail.

He wanted to obtain a physical body.

Then, starting anew, he would continue his journey of world conquest.

"Truly carrying out his beliefs to the very end, Conqueror."

Rin quite liked people like Iskandar, whether alive or dead, he always adhered to his original intentions.

"Ah."

Gilgamesh, uncharacteristically, agreed with Rin's assessment. "A boring life always needs one or two seasonings. I await your challenge, Conqueror!"

"What a joke!!"

Artoria had been frowning, silently watching the gradually forming relationship between the three, a relationship that was neither hostile nor friendly.

From beginning to end, the girl found no opportunity to participate in the discussion.

Because she believed that the opinions expressed by the two Heroic Spirits were too far removed from her ideals as the King of Knights, and had nothing to do with her.

"It's completely selfish!"

"That is not the righteous path that a King should follow."

Artoria's words finally broke the isolated situation.

"Oh?"

Iskandar asked. "Then, let us hear your esteemed opinion, King of Knights."

Rin already knew what would happen next.

Artoria uttered her noble ideal, which she had painstakingly pursued, as if making an oath. "My wish is to save my homeland! I want to use the power of the omnipotent wish-granting machine to change the fate of Britain's destruction!"

"...."

Silence, deafening.

Although Artoria's statement was indeed very strong.

But neither Rin nor the other two were simple opponents who would be intimidated by a single sentence.

Moreover, what she said shouldn't have been so strange as to shock people, nor should the content have been so profound as to be difficult to understand.

In Artoria's view, her wish was noble, sacred, and just.

However...

Whether it was words of praise or waves of opposition, some reaction should have appeared immediately.

But why was the scene so quiet?

"Sigh..."

Before Iskandar could silence Artoria as he did in the original work, Rin spoke first. "Does 'changing fate' mean you want to overturn past history?"

"Yes, even if a miracle cannot achieve this wish, if the Holy Grail is truly omnipotent, it certainly can..."

"Pfft!"

"Puhahaha~"

However, before Artoria could finish her sentence, she was met with Gilgamesh's heartfelt sneer.

"What's so funny, Hero King!"

Artoria felt immense anger.

Saving Great Britain, this was the most important domain deeply buried in her soul, not to be desecrated or trampled upon by anyone.
