14 Who do you think you are?

"Is fate really powerless to do anything like this?"

Facing Chu Xuan's "destiny theory", even Artoria, who was already dead from some point of view, couldn't help but grit her teeth. It seemed that the "heroic spirit" in her heart had not been completely worn out by the cruel reality. She had not completely surrendered to fate, and also surrendered to that powerless self...

"Although this is fate, it is not composed of 'external forces', but of the choices of each of you.

**It is not others who are destined to be, but you, the limit of your ability, and the limit of your destiny.”

Chu Xuan cruelly broke Artoria's self-comfort and extinguished her anger towards fate with a basin of cold water.

Artoria, who was shakingly hit by Chu Xuan's invincible "mouth cannon", turned pale like a ghost, and her majesty and momentum almost disappeared completely. She lowered her head weakly, and her back, which had been straight, bent down, muttering to herself in a very dismay:

"After all... is it still my lack of ability..."

"That's right, but if the choice of Sword in the Stone is not wrong, then you are already the best among all the king candidates.

Although there may be many people who are better at governing the country than you, your country was in war at that time. If you had not won twelve consecutive victories in ten years and your country had already perished within ten years, then what would be the use of others who were good at maintaining success?

The limitations of the times have made the change of ruling power impossible to be carried out in a more moderate way. Therefore, the "spontaneous behavior" adopted by the citizens to adapt to the changed domestic and foreign forms will inevitably be carried out in the most intense and harmful way to the country.

——Although your 'round table' embodies the principle of equality and the spirit of consultation, because of the limitations of the times, you have not achieved true equality at all. There is still an insurmountable gap between the monarch and the knights, and the transfer of rule is naturally impossible to resolve peacefully in a negotiated manner.”

I don’t know what Chu Xuan was thinking. After hitting Artoria enough, he began to excuse the other party and found the wonderful reason for "the limit of the era".

Well... But Chu Xuan was just telling the facts and could not change power in a more moderate way when the situation changed. This was a very common phenomenon in the feudal period of the world. The emperor basically would not give up the power in his hands until he died, even if he knew that someone was more suitable to be an emperor than himself.

Moreover, even if he wanted to pass the throne, the emperor would only pass the throne to the heir he hoped, rather than the person who was most suitable for this position. Except during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it has not been heard that any emperor had voluntarily abdicated or abdicated - although every emperor who abdicated or abdicated seemed to be "voluntarily".

"No need to comfort me...even if this is indeed the limit of the times...

But in this case, what is the point of everything I do? What reason do I have to obtain the Holy Grail?”

Although Chu Xuan had found a reason for Artoria's failure, he might have backfired. Artoria did not recover from it at all, but had completely lost the motivation to move forward, and her whole body seemed to have turned gray and white.

Alice Fill looked at Chu Xuan with his glasses anxiously, and complained in his heart that he wanted to tell the truth. He had lost all his fighting spirit by telling him, and had become the weakest. How could he win?

If this Holy Grail War cannot be won, her sacrifice will have no value, and the plan to "introduce" a magician who is good at fighting is equivalent to announcing failure. Chu Xuan, a useless son-in-law, is likely to be kicked out of Einzberen's house.

If this were the case, Alicefil would not be so worried about the defeat of the Holy Grail War. If her sacrifice could bring about a peaceful and happy life for Chu Xuan and Iliasfil, then she would definitely die happily for her husband and children.

However, she and her children are both precious "properties" of the Einzberen family. Chu Xuan, who was kicked out, would never live with his daughter again, and even meet him.

Only by winning this Holy Grail War and successfully completing the third magic "Cup of Heaven" can Chu Xuan and their two daughters have a future. Maybe she... can also be resurrected with the power of the Holy Grail.

"Artolia, who do you think you are? Are you God? Are you the Holy Grail?"

Suddenly, Chu Xuan called Artoria's real name again and asked a sarcastic question coldly.

Even though she was completely discouraged, Artoria could not accept this insult. Her face turned red with a "brush" and she glared at Chu Xuan with green eyes, making Alicefil very worried that she would kill Chu Xuan in anger.

However, Chu Xuan was not panicked at all. He pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and continued indifferently:

"Even if you have the blood of the Red Dragon, or have the surname of God, or simply be a true god, as long as you are not the omniscient and omnipotent one, there will always be things that you cannot do no matter what.

Is it just because there are things in this world that you can’t do that you have to give up your life?”

Anger flashed in Artoria's eyes. Although she was regarded as "not understanding human feelings", in fact, in addition to being completely inhumane in handling business, her feelings are much richer than Chu Xuan and much more like humans.

Artoria, who was touched, kept looking at Chu Xuan silently, and the expression on her face gradually eased. I don’t know how long it took, but she finally looked away and asked Chu Xuan calmly:

"But even though I was doing my best, I was still so powerless, so what else could I do?"

“There are a lot of things you can do.

If you lack abilities, just improve your abilities. Whether you use the Holy Grail to make a wish to change the past, use the Holy Grail to gain more powerful force, or use the Holy Grail to bring back various modern knowledge and techniques - and your lifelong memories back when you first pulled out the sword in the stone, you can gain enough power to save the country."

Chu Xuan easily pointed out several roads, which made Artoria fall into deep thought.

After a long time, she finally raised her head, showed a bright smile to Chu Xuan and Alice Fier, and said very sincerely:

"Indeed, there seems to be a lot of things I can do, but it will definitely not work if I am the only one.

Chu Xuan, Aili, can I fight side by side with you?"

"Until death."
