Looking at the problem from the perspective of ordinary people? Maybe...
No, this is impossible!
The next moment, the confusion disappeared from Artoria's eyes, she returned to her usual awe-inspiring posture, and said firmly:
"The king is not a human! If the king has the emotions of ordinary humans, he will not be able to protect the people. What the people need is a fair, strict, and selfless king!"
She has always adhered to this principle to deal with various problems.
Even in battles with foreign tribes, nobles who cause civil strife will be arrested and punished mercilessly.
'The king is not a human being, and she actually said that she is not a human being. This... is really very ill. '
The corner of Ren's mouth twitched, well, that's not what King Da Mao actually meant.
He also knew that Arturia was very strong-willed and resilient, so she was not easy to fool.
It is very difficult to complete side tasks and change some of her concepts and ideas.
However, he had already prepared a surprise gift package for her.
Renn used to be a homebody, but he could still be considered a chef, and he understood her past and experiences relatively well.
He organized his thoughts and then said leisurely:
"King of Knights, I know a thing or two about the era you live in.
There are foreign invasions from outside, and the rebellion caused by the humble king Vortigeng inside. There are internal and external troubles, so the people urgently need a king who is powerful enough and inhumanly powerful to protect them!
Powerful, just, strict, diligent... 'He' possesses all the qualities of a king. 'His' existence itself is the interpretation of the king in their minds, as tireless as a machine, as indestructible as steel...
The king doesn't make mistakes, 'he' always makes the right choice!
But human beings are very contradictory creatures.
They sometimes think that such an 'omnipotent' king, such an 'inhuman' king, always measures state affairs meticulously and rewards or punishes the people without any deviation.
Is the king too strict and cold? Everyone and things are indistinguishable in his eyes. The king only regards them as chess pieces, currency and goods.
It is impossible for such a king to treat them as the same kind, and a person (king) without emotions cannot rule people!
So──King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts.
It was just a sentence. Maybe Tristan, the Knight of the Round Table, didn't expect that when he said it, the people's hearts really dispersed and the team became difficult to lead.
There are fewer and fewer Knights of the Round Table around King Arthur, and their ideas are gradually unable to synchronize with the king's.
After all, knights can't have personal relationships! They will grow old, they will get tired, they will withdraw, and they will wish that the king prefers one of them to another..."
Ren's voice was neither urgent nor slow, and he explained everything calmly. King Da Mao could still remain calm at first.
But as she listened, there was something unbelievable in her eyes, especially from the sentence "King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts", her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ren struck while the iron was hot, looking straight at her like a sharp knife, his voice was indifferent but sonorous and powerful:
“Courageous in battle, fair and strict, and diligent in government affairs...King Arthur is so perfect.
It was so perfect that there was a huge invisible gap between her and the people of the kingdom, her soldiers, and even the Knights of the Round Table around her.
She is always noble and inviolable, believing that she always lives a just and aboveboard life at all times.
So she couldn't see that the people and subordinates were fragile, short-sighted, narrow-minded, extreme... mixed with selfish desires.
For example, the underground love affair between Guinevere and Lancelot, or the fact that the residents in the small village could no longer be squeezed for their supplies... She was not aware of these problems in advance, but when they broke out, they caused huge turmoil.
King Arthur dedicated everything to his country, but he could not truly understand people's feelings, what they needed, and the changeable and complex nature of the human heart.
Artoria, am I right? Do you still think that the king must be aloof and have no personal relationships? ! "
"you you……"
Arturia couldn't help but be stunned, her emotions fluctuated violently.
Although she stood upright and Ren was sitting on the ground, when she faced the other person's sharp gaze, her body involuntarily took a half step back.
Ren glanced at the darkening sky. The dark blue night was shrouded, the stars were shining brightly, and the moonlight was like water, giving the forest a silvery glow.
After a while, Artoria calmed down the turbulent thoughts in her mind, lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice:
"Caster, are you questioning my rule?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I don't think there is anything wrong with your royal ways. For that special era, in fact, you have done a good job."
Ren stood up and looked at the silent forest.
King Da Mao looked a little stunned, and asked doubtfully: "What? Didn't you find so many shortcomings in me?"
"King Arthur, the red dragon of Britain, even if you don't age, you still have limitations as a human being.
No matter how perfect your kingly way is, or even understanding the so-called human heart, you cannot solve all problems. "
Renn turned around and looked at King Da Mao expressionlessly, with a deep look in his eyes.
He knew that King Da Mao believed in chivalry and was very upright. Even because she was too upright, sometimes her behavior would appear a bit naive or dull.
But integrity does not mean that she is a good person. In order to win the war, she squeezed the supplies of some small villages and even forced the villagers to leave their homes.
From the overall situation and strategic point of view, it is right for Dai Mao Wang to do this, and there is no other good way.
But many knights are quite critical of this, and they don't want to do this.
So when she resolutely and meticulously implemented these strategies and won each war, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Tristan, the knight of the round table, said that sentence──"King Arthur does not understand people's hearts", that sentimental knight left the city of Camelot.
Yes, many knights could not accept the king's "coldness" and even believed that sooner or later they would become victims like the villagers and be placed on the balance of victory and defeat by the king.
Artoria was silent for a moment and shook her head: "No, I didn't do a good enough job. If I could have noticed it earlier..."
"King of Knights, it's useless if you noticed it earlier." Ren said calmly.
King Daimao suddenly became a little inexplicably angry and reprimanded him: "Yes! There must be, there must be a way!"
It's not so much that she's angry with Wren, it's more that she thinks she didn't do a good enough job.
"Wake up, there is no other solution!
Because after all, the king needs to bear it and bear it! To you, this is the curse of being called a king! "Ren said unceremoniously.
Arturia's fingers clenched loudly, and she glared at him:
"You're talking nonsense! Are you trying to persuade me to give up? This is impossible!"
"Okay, I'm just talking nonsense. It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. Little Miss Knight King, don't take it to heart."
Ren suddenly smiled and stopped being aggressive.
Sonorous~
Arturia pulled out the invisible divine sword and pointed it at him: "Little girl? Caster, do you want to be slashed by my sword?"
In any case, what Ren said today had a great impact on her, and she couldn't calm down at all.
"Am I wrong? It's true that you are King Arthur, but it is undeniable that you are also a little girl!"
Little girl?
Saber's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her whole body was shaking with anger. She couldn't bear Ren's repeated attempts to commit suicide.
She jumped forward, waved her sword and slashed at Ren's position, but the opponent disappeared instantly like a ghost.
Swish─
The harsh sound of breaking wind sounded, the sharp edge flashed across, the invisible holy sword cut iron like mud, and a gap instantly opened in the city wall.
Ren stood on the city wall with his hands behind his hands, while Artoria pointed her sword at him. She said unceremoniously:
"Caster, if you want to try my swordsmanship, I'd be happy to accompany you!"
It's really bad. It's really not cute at all.
Ren yawned lazily, and was about to say something to lighten the atmosphere when he suddenly frowned.
Saber also turned to look at the dense forest under the castle.
An awe-inspiring aura rose up in the night, and fighting spirit surged into the sky, even scaring away a few birds in the woods.
The enemy has arrived.
"It's Lancer. It seems he chose to attack head-on." Ren said, a blue light flashing in his eyes.
Saber nodded. She was familiar with this aura. She glanced at Ren and said without a doubt:
"Give him to me!"
Wu Ming thought she was making trouble unreasonably before, so she came to convince him, but the topic went off the rails the first time.
"Okay, just be happy." Ren said calmly. He didn't think the other party could solve Diarmuid.
Saber snorted softly and asked:
"Caster, can you protect the castle?"
As soon as his eyes were focused, Ren's lazy aura suddenly changed, like an abyss like a prison, and the terrifying coercion was like reality:
"Don't worry, I'll take whatever you order!"
The strong sense of oppression caused Saber's expression to change slightly. This was the first time she felt his undisguised aura.
Nodding, she no longer hesitated, jumped onto the city wall, and then leapt down from the castle balcony, the wind blowing her blue dress.
Of course, Saber is wrapped very tightly, so don't expect her to be naked. The quilt king is not just blown out.
Ren lowered his head and shouted to her:
"Hey, little girl King of Knights, are you going to jump like this? Be careful, don't break your legs."
King Da Mao, who had just landed safely, couldn't help but be stunned, then turned his head and glared at Ren angrily:
"Stop joking, just wait, I'll take care of you when you come back!"
On the castle, Ren shrugged his shoulders.
He really wasn't provocative, he just said something rude out of habit.
"King of Knights, come on! Kill that guy who seduced my sister-in-law and broke the rules on the road, and vent his anger on old Finn!"
Artoria, who was charging forward, staggered when she heard this and almost fell down. She couldn't help turning her head and giving Ren a fierce look:
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"
After saying that, as if she was worried that he would say something unreliable again, she rushed into the forest without looking back.
