"Here, my armies once rode across the land. The place all the heroes who stood with me, through joy and sorrow, will never forget. I can make this world real because it still exists within our hearts! Behold my endless armies! Their bodies destroyed, and their souls offered to the world as Heroic Spirits. And still, these legendary heroes pledge their loyalty to me! My bond with them is my greatest treasure, my path of kingship! The ultimate Noble Phantasm that I, Iskandar, possess. Ionian Hetairoi!"

"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"
