"A king without greed is even worse than a figurehead! Saber, you said you would become a martyr for your ideals. In life, you must have been a pure saint. A proud and noble figure, certainly. But who can truly admire the martyr's thorny path? Who dreams of such an ending? A king... The king must be greedier than any other. He must laugh louder and rage harder. He must exemplify the extreme of all things good and evil. That is why his retainers envy and adore him. And why the flames of aspiration to be as the king is Proud king of chivalry... The righteousness and ideals you bore may indeed have saved your nation once. However I'm certain you know what became of those who were saved but left to themselves. You saved them but you never led them. You never showed them what a king should be. You abandoned your men when they lost their way. Then alone and untroubled Thus you are no true king. You are only a little girl enraptured by a false idol of the king who serves others"

Because of her unsullied glory, I must forever be belittled. You are, the sacrifice. Good, give me more, your blood and flesh, your life. Let them ignite my hatred!!"

"However, humans did not realize that truth no matter how high they staked their mountains of corpses. That's because in no matter what era the courageous and fearless great heroes have always bedazzled the eyes of the multitude with their splendid heroic legends. Because of the wistful actions of those idiots and their refusal to admit that bloodshed is by itself evil, the essence of humans has stayed on the same spot since the Stone Age!"
