[ At the sa ti, the Chaldea group received guidance from King Hassan and went to seek an alliance with the Sun King Rasses II to resist the Lion King together!
On the other side, after finishing his reminiscence, Lancelot had defeated the temple guardians and entered the vast inner sanctum of the temple!
He respectfully addressed Ozymandias, who sat on the throne: " King Ozymandias! Thank you for allowing to co here."
Leaning on his longsword, clad in purple armor, Lancelot continued solemnly: "I am Lancelot, serving under the Lion King's command. I have co to capture the rebel standing before your throne now!"
To him, Ozymandias, seated on the throne with one hand supporting his face, spoke with great interest to the Chaldea group:
"Fujimaru Ritsuka! They say this man is the strongest knight, of the knights of the Round Table. If you can defeat him, I might reconsider forming an alliance with the mountain folk!"
Lancelot was not surprised by their discussion of alliances. To conquer the Holy City, this was the bare minimum condition.
"However! None of this is possible." He raised his longsword, glaring at the Chaldea group, then paused montarily upon seeing Mash.
Bedivere approached the puzzled Lancelot and asked: "What reason could you possibly have to serve this current king?"
"How could you call that light... The stupid act of burning down entire villages to ashes! Is that sothing King Arthur would do?"
Hearing this, Lancelot tightened his grip on his sword, gritting his teeth and loudly denying: "That is absolutely not a deed worthy of a king!"
Raising his sword, he struck Bedivere back, venting his anger: "The only king, I serve is King Arthur, not the Lion King!"
"If you know this, why do you still fight?" Bedivere was utterly confused!
"In this dood world, the path shown by that king is righteous! It cannot be shaken. Precisely because of this, I wield my sword for her!"
More than this reason, it resembles repentance for past mistakes! Once committing grave sins left him trapped in unbearable guilt and regret, so this ti, summoned again, he must...!]
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
The crowd outside the video couldn't understand why this knight, knowing the actions of the other party were unworthy of a king, still raised his sword to fight.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"Perhaps it's due to guilt and regret..."
Emiya Shirou also understood Lancelot's history!
After committing unforgivable mistakes, he yearned for the king's punishnt but instead received the king's forgiveness!
~Throne of Heroes~
"Yes. Once an extrely rciful king now massacres recklessly!! It's truly tragic!"
Tristan clenched his fists, his sorrow mingling with pain.
What made him angrier was the suffering inflicted on the people in the video. Such cris couldn't simply be erased with an apology.
Other knights remained silent, looking at their own misdeeds in the video.
They would rather see themselves being destroyed.
"The one I serve is King Arthur, not the current Lion King..."
Gawain's knight also understood why Lancelot continued to swing his sword in the video!
He knew Lancelot lived in constant regret. For the sake of the king, no matter what, he would never let go of the sword in his hand.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"Sire Lancelot... Have you been living in regret all this ti? Even so, must you remain loyal to such a king?"
Artoria didn't understand the outco... Hadn't she already forgiven him?
She didn't realize that her forgiveness left him unable to suppress his anger, plunging him into unbearable pain and guilt.
[ As the words fell, Mash, holding her shield, sent Lancelot flying until he crashed into a pillar!
Mash's low voice revealed no clear expression, but her tone carried anger:
"Knight Lancelot! Are you done yet?"
Lancelot erged from the rubble, astonished at the figure before him.
Mash, dragging her shield, stepped forward, leaving a long gash on the ground:
"Are you worthy of being the knight once most respected by King Arthur?"
Accompanied by Mash's seemingly iron-hard questioning, her face revealed anger. Dragging her shield, she leaped high and struck toward Lancelot below the stone column!
Dodging the attack, Lancelot was pushed to the outside of the pyramid! Standing above, Mash looked down at Lancelot with a serious tone:
"I formally challenge you to a duel!"
Below, Lancelot seed flustered, his stuttering voice replied:
"Wait... Just a mont! Don't be impulsive! You are...!"]
....
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Why does the usually strong Lancelot, who was so powerful just now, seem to have t his match?!"
"It feels like he has no desire to fight at all...!"
"Could it be he doesn't want to bully a young girl?"
~Type-Moon World, Throne of Heroes~
The crowd outside the video didn't understand, but those inside the Throne of Heroes clearly did.
"That shield... It's Galahad...! Lancelot's child!"
"No wonder Lancelot looks so timid."
Gawain speaks calmly.
"That's it, exactly! That's the reaction we wanted."
Mordred watched Lancelot and Mash's confrontation with excitent, shouting loudly!
[ Lancelot and Mash fought atop the pyramid, but Lancelot only struggled to defend, avoiding active attacks!
"My armor! My heart! They scream like this! Because... because!"
Once again, Mash struck Lancelot, sending him crashing into the pyramid.
She stood before him with her shield!
"My na is Mash Kyrielight! The Heroic Spirit that possesses is Sire Galahad! I vow to use this body as a price to evolve the cris of the knights of the Round Table!" Placing the shield firmly on the ground, Mash stared at the fallen figure with utmost sincerity.]
...
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"Did I hear that wrong? It's Galahad?!"
Tohsaka Rin exclaid in shock.
"Isn't that Lancelot's son?"
No, it should be his daughter, since his son currently possesses Mash. No wonder he's been getting beaten since the start—it's a father-son dynamic.
If it were a son, it'd be easier to explain, but with such a cute daughter, who could bear to harm her?
"It's simple—this is one sided Slaughter! Perhaps it could be called a Noble Phantasm specifically for Lancelot..."
Emiya Shirou couldn't help but curse.
[ "If you have doubts about the king, pursue them relentlessly."
Mash charged toward Lancelot again, her voice filled with anger, her attacks unrelenting.
"If the king makes a mistake! Shouldn't we fight first? Isn't that the spirit of a knight?" Mash and Lancelot continued their battle atop the pyramid!
Facing Mash's questioning, Lancelot only blocked her attacks with his sword, constantly evading.
Mash, seeing Lancelot's confused state, grew even angrier, loudly questioning him.
"A true knight is one who serves the nation wholeheartedly, protects the people fully, and takes pride in their city!"
"You, such a powerful warrior, as a knight, as a father, don't you feel ashad?!!" Mash dragged her shield step by step closer, her tone filled with determination.
Lancelot froze, watching the angry Mash approach until she collided with him. Without resisting, he was sent flying, raising a cloud of dust.
"Are you awake now, Sire Lancelot?" Mash's tone returned to calm.
Lying on his back, Lancelot regained his senses, slightly moved:
"With such a heavy blow from that shield, who wouldn't wake up?"
Then, looking at Mash's shield, he continued:
"That shield is our Round Table! It's also my son's shield."
Mash trotted to Lancelot's side, crouching beside him and smiling cutely: "Isn't that right? Dad!"
Upon hearing the word "Dad," Lancelot imdiately beca flustered. His longsword dropped to the ground, his eyes wide with astonishnt!]
"Uh... Sorry, that term... It's bad for my heart!"
Lancelot's flustered and embarrassed tone echoed through the sky!]
...
~Projection of All Worlds~
"They're father and son? No wonder Lancelot lost his previous cold deanor."
"Haha! I'm dying of laughter. Being called 'Dad' and he couldn't even hold onto his sword."
"Bad for his heart...?! Simply hilarious."
"But in the end, the confused father was awakened by his child!"
"Just now, Mash wasn't fighting him—her inner Galahad was scolding his father for becoming like this!"
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
Artoria's originally sorrowful face revealed an unpredictable bitter smile:
"Sire Lancelot, you really are...!"
She didn't know how to express it. Facing his own child, his heart was in turmoil.
The entire ti, he only defended, his flustered deanor making it hard not to laugh or cry.
~Throne of Heroes~
Lancelot was also flustered upon hearing the word "Dad," clutching his heart. Yet, his face couldn't suppress a smile!
A daughter? Though he was Galahad's father, their personalities were completely different, as if he truly had gained a daughter.
"You look very happy!"
The voice at his ear made Lancelot shiver. Turning around, he saw Galahad staring at him with a strange expression.
