【88】The ideal king sage
In the Holy Grail War that was unfolding on the moon, it was the Master named Leo who summoned Gawain.
<br/>Leo was like a lion thrown into a chicken coop in this Holy Grail War. He has an overwhelming sense of presence, as if he is exuding brilliance at any time. (Note 1)
In fact, the compatibility between the two people is really good. From the beginning of participating in the Holy Grail War, the two people have already determined that they will win in the end.
This is not arrogance, and it is the real truth - Leo's full name is Leonardo Bistario Harvey, he is the strongest master who participated in the Holy Grail War, and all his numerical values are displayed as The victorious king with the highest value is the "future king" carefully cultivated by the Harvey family. (Note 2)
Yes, even though he has had no freedom since birth, Leo has not changed and has grown into a gentle and confident "ideal king saint" as the Harvey family imagined. His entire existence is extremely distorted. He has clearly abandoned his human emotions, but he still retains his gentleness as a human being.
When facing excellent people, you will not feel jealous, and you will be happy for them from the bottom of your heart; when you see your own shortcomings, you will only work hard to improve, and will not look for excuses.
Such a master gave Gawain the illusion that "he is very similar to the king" for a moment.
Of course this is just an illusion, because Leo and Artoria are two completely different people.
But if you want to say it, the similarities are real. <br/>As mentioned before, Leo is the "ideal king" specially cultivated by the Harvey family. From the moment he was born, he was expected to become a king and rule everything, and he grew up receiving the education of being a king. There is absolutely no desire that humans should have in him, and the meaning of his existence is only to lead the Harvey family to manage the world in peace and stability.
<br/>He participated in the Holy Grail War for this reason - no matter who got the Holy Grail, he must have made a wish to realize his own selfishness. It is impossible to say whether such a wish is good or evil, let alone what changes it will bring to the world. It was precisely because he was worried that such a problem would arise, and in order to prevent such a terrible possibility, that Leo personally participated in the Holy Grail War as the Master.
<br/>The miracle that mortals cannot grasp cannot be left in the hands of mortals. The power to control it should be controlled by the king. The Holy Grail War is like a procedure to master a miracle. This procedure is annoying, but it is also something that cannot be helped. The king is not a human being, but a transcendent one, so this is exactly what the king needs to do. (Note 3)
——In terms of experience, she is very similar to Artoria.
Gawain and Leo's partnership is very powerful, so the enemies they face can be easily dealt with. In his spare time, Leo often reads books or pays attention to the Masters he is interested in.
Just a "master", not an "enemy". Leo was very confident and thought he would never lose. In other words, this is actually recognized by everyone, but even so, others also want to defeat Leo.
There are three Masters who are interested: Rin Tosaka, who insists on standing opposite Harvey's house even though he has talents that even the United Nations marvels at; Julius, Leo's half-brother; and, a being. They are all different, step by step from the weakest place to the Kishinami Hakuno in Leo's eyes.
Gawain was worried about whether Leo would be overshadowed by the views of his enemy Tohsaka Rin, but Leo never cared much about it; he was also worried about whether Leo would be sad because he had to fight a life and death battle with his half-brother, but Leo just watched indifferently.
Leo, who abandoned human emotions in this way, had a different feeling when the battle came to the end, when only Kishinami Hakuno was left as the enemy.
Leo originally had no human feelings, but he developed human feelings because of Hakuno Kishinami, who went from being the weakest to the last.
——Until the end, when Gawain and Leo were defeated, when Gawain faced Leo's problem, he was at a loss.
Gawain knew all along.
Leo's behavior of abandoning human emotions and having no negative emotions at all is definitely not a normal person.
Just like King Arthur. If a more extreme guy saw Leo, it wouldn't be impossible for him to say something like "You don't understand people's hearts."
Isn't a king like Leo ideal? Isn't it perfect?
A king like Artoria...compared to the still immature Leo, isn't she the true ideal king?
When Gawain went to Camelot, he always maintained complete trust and obedience to Artoria. He stood quietly behind the king like a shadow and followed the king's orders.
He'd never been as close to understanding the King as he was to understanding Leo.
Gawain looked awkwardly at Merlin, who was deep in thought after hearing his story, and said anxiously: "Is my past behavior...did it also hurt the king on another level?"
I have never understood or understood. Such complete trust may also be a kind of pressure sometimes?
No, it should be said that an ideal king like Artoria would not think anything about this and would just silently shoulder more things...
Merlin looked at Gawain silently and said nothing after a long while, "...Although you found out very late, fortunately you finally woke up."
His eyes drifted to the side and he said, "What's the ending of Leo?"
Leo's battle on the inner side of the moon was very different from the predicted enemy's combat power. He wanted to prevent BB from destroying the world, but he was defeated and died. The last thing he did was to use the command spell to terminate the contract in order to protect Gawain's survival, allowing Gawain to return to his 'original place'. In other words, Leo rescued Gawain from BB's clutches at the cost of never seeing Gawain again. (Note 4)
And his battle on the side of the moon ended with the decisive battle with Kishinami Hakuno. When he realized his shortcomings as a king, he faced the end before he could make up for it.
When the narration reached this point, Sun Knight actually started to tremble unconsciously. Obviously, the memory was extremely tragic for him.
The more profound my memory is, the more I realize how much damage my unconscious actions caused to Wang during his lifetime.
As if on trial, the magician flattened the corners of his lips, faced the Sun Knight who was rarely fragile and trembling, and read out coldly: "Yes."
"It's not just you—all of you Knights of the Round Table are unconsciously hurting Artoria in your own way."
——What appeared in front of me was that at the round table, the red-haired knight said unbearably: "The king does not understand people's hearts." and turned to leave,
The ideal King Arthur looks shaken by pain.

Arturia originally planned to wait for Merlin to go to class after getting up early. As a result, her new roommate told her some very happy news in advance: she could have breakfast early in the morning!
breakfast! Arturia's eyes lit up and her hair straightened up.
The roommate's mother was also a student who studied at Hogwarts, and her sister was also a senior student, so she had a more or less superficial understanding. She saw Arturia's expression startled, and she smiled and said, "Yes! And I heard from my sister that the food at Hogwarts is the best!"
the most delicious! Artoria was eager to give it a try, but she was still a little hesitant.
The roommate thought for a while and advised: "Are you worried about Senior Meili? Senior Meili is a senior and cannot be with us. He has his own classes to attend. And if we go late, we will watch less Got a lot of delicious food!”
Artoria was successfully shaken!
Arturia silently glanced at the door of the boys' dormitory for the last time, turned around and glanced at Harry Potter, who was said to have a good relationship with Merlin and had a lightning scar on his head. After asking him to bring a message to Merlin, he happily ran away with his roommate.
The Slytherin round table team, who knew nothing about anything, still calculated the time and ran to the hotel based on Bedivere's words last night that "Merlin was a little sleepy" and the judgment that Arturia would definitely go with Merlin the next day. Gryffindor's door was guarded.
Unfortunately, the Slytherin Round Table team was very unlucky to miss Artoria, and then captured the resentful Merlin and Gawain who got up late and were abandoned by Artoria.
When Arturia arrived at the cafeteria, a piece of yellow parchment recording work and rest times and class schedules appeared neatly in front of everyone sitting down.
"...The first class is the Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Hufflepuff, and then there is species change..." Artoria quickly checked the parchment and wrote down the content accurately.
Her roommate sat next to her and chattered endlessly: "Speaking of which, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher changes every year. This time the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is Mad-Eye Moody. He has a dog that can see through. All the evil eyes—ah!" She suddenly woke up and looked at Arturia apologetically. "Ah, I'm sorry to hear so much from me. You should know this too."
Artoria didn't know where this conclusion came from, so she looked at her roommate in confusion: "I don't know why you came to this conclusion, but unfortunately, I don't know these things clearly."
The roommate was very surprised: "But your surname is Pendragon! You don't know the magic world... No, are you a Muggle? I accidentally mistaken your surname for King Arthur's surname..."
Arturia understood: the roommate seemed to think that if the person's surname was Pendragon and they were descendants of King Arthur, who had a close relationship with Merlin, they would definitely be from a pure-blood family among wizards. In other words, more than one person should think so...
In this case, it was obvious what was going on with the uproar in Slytherin where most of the purebloods gathered after the sorting yesterday.
No longer thinking about that, Artoria took the porridge that appeared and started to drink it with satisfaction. A person also sat down on the other side of her body, and when Artoria finished drinking the porridge, he handed over a tissue in a friendly manner. .
Arturia did not take the tissue and turned her head curiously——
The person sitting next to her had short purple hair and a delicate and beautiful face. When he saw that Artoria did not take the tissue, he took the initiative to lift the tissue and wipe away the white mark on Artoria's mouth. His expression was gentle and concerned, with a hint of excitement.
That was the face of Lancelot when he was young and high-spirited.
Arturia couldn't help but stare at the person in front of her in shock, unable to utter a single word.
After wiping off the white marks, he put down his hand and said without changing his expression: "King, I have always hoped to see you again."
Arturia's eyes widened.
"Lancelot, you...have become younger?!"
Didn't you stay with Mycroft? Why does it appear here! Why did you change so much in one night?
