Chapter 279: Saber: "I need a heir"

As expected, Tamazuki's words touched Saber's nerve, yet how could it not be?

The Battle of Camlann destroyed everything.

Under Arturia's rule, it wouldn't be weird for her kingdom to start to dominate Gauls and Frankish. Moreover, her chance of victory would be high, yet due to the Battle of Camlann, everything disappeared, and all her countrymen died, so she needed to start over.

However, Tamazuki said that this Battle of Camlann was good; how could she not be angry?!

"Calm down and listen to my explanation first."

Tamazuki held Saber's shoulders and forced her to sit down. Even though she was reluctant, she followed his words, but her expression was still far from good.

"If you don't give me a good reason, then don't blame me for getting angry.

Frankly, her threat was kind of cute, but even if she wanted to do unreasonable things, she couldn't do it, and she also didn't wish to. Moreover, even though his words made her angry, she also knew that he wouldn't say something without a good reason.

"I know. I know."

Still, while Saber felt that the Battle of Camlann had ruined everything, Tamazuki felt that it was otherwise.

The Battle of Camlann might destroy all the development that had been done by Arturia, but at the same time, it also cleaned up her kingdom from the mice, pests, and all other harmful beings.

Arturia's ruler might be good for her subjects and bring them prosperity, yet what about the nobles?

"Nobles..."

Saber's expression became difficult.

She knew that her ruler wasn't absolute and there were many powerful nobles under her. Unlike her subjects, who loved her, those nobles hated her so much.

Why?

It was because she tried to make the position of peasants better.

Those who were the rulers, like the nobles, hoped for their people to be stupid. They hoped that they would continue to live under them without thinking and live day by day without changing, without hope, and continued to be ignorant.

However, Arturia changed all of that and threatened the position of the nobles in her country.

It was also for this reason that Mordred, who was the initiator of the Battle of Camlann, could gather so many people under her. It was those nobles who gave all of their soldiers to Mordred in the hope of killing Arturia so they could continue to control the stupid subjects and live a comfortable and easy life.

"Do you think as long as you let Lancelot and Guinevere elope, everything will be okay? Even without them, those nobles won't let you go, and your battle with the nobles is inevitable. By then, even if you start over, you will still kill your countrymen."

"........"

Meanwhile, those knights would run away, cower in fear, or pretend that they didn't do anything wrong.

Though he had a say, while some of Saber's knights were insolent, the majority of them could be trusted, and they were those who could help her build her kingdom after the Battle of the Camlann.

Saber was quiet as she listened to him. She felt happy since she was understood by someone. While she knew that she should be inhuman to become a perfect king, she was still a human, and it would be impossible if her heart wasn't affected by the betrayal of the people she trusted.

Suddenly, a thought emerged in her head.

Could you come with me?

While their first meeting was awkward, Saber could see that he thought of her, and she was happy to have someone who could understand her to be by her side.

'No! No! No!'

Saber quickly shook her head, feeling slightly hot for some reason, and didn't realize she was blushing. "Then, is that what I only need to do?"

"No, there is one more."

"What is it?"

"You need an heir."

"...what?"

"Heir."

"......." Saber.

"So get pregnant and have a child."

"......" Saber.

Saber wanted to say something, but she knew that Tamazuki was correct. She needed to make an heir. After all, if she died, then her country would be in ruin since it was impossible for her knights to rule England, considering each of them had their own opinions, and they might clash, causing another civil war.

Somehow, she turned and looked at him.

He also looked at her.

The atmosphere between them became ambiguous, and their eyes seemed to communicate with each other, but Saber's body was tense since the door of the room was opened.

"Ah, um..."

Irisviel was there, looking at Tamazuki in a shy yet complicated mood.
