"Hmph," Saber huffed, taking a deep breath to compose herself before turning her attention to Haru.
"So, you wish to share your wisdom regarding kingship? I'm intrigued," Rider said, his voice laced with a hint of sarcasm, though his curiosity was genuine. He wanted to know a God's perspective on the matter.
"In my opinion, none of your approaches are inherently wrong," Haru began, his gaze sweeping over the assembled Servants. "Iskandar's conquest and plunder, Gilgamesh's tyranny, and Artoria's selfless devotion... they are all valid paths."
"But," he continued, "as the saying goes, 'birds of a feather flock together.' You argue, you debate, each trying to impose your beliefs on the others. But a king's conviction—it shouldn't be so easily swayed. Your arguments are meaningless." He swirled the wine in his goblet, his voice calm, almost indifferent.
Rider nodded slowly. "I agree. But I still disagree with Saber's approach. She's just a child, clinging to naive ideals."
"..." Saber shot to her feet, her hand instinctively going to her sword, magical energy crackling around her.
"Sit down, Saber. This is a banquet," Haru said, his voice flat, a warning in his eyes.
Saber's lips tightened into a thin line as she sat back down, glaring at Rider.
"Well, since I've accepted this role as the Biblical God, as the judge of your wishes, I suppose I can offer some guidance," Haru said, taking a sip of wine.
