The battlefield, stained with the blood of the Excalibur War, fell silent. Only two figures remained: you, battered and kneeling, and Artoria, the King of Knights, trembling with horror. She had just slain her own son, Mordred, and now faced her most loyal companion. Tears welled in her green eyes as she gripped Excalibur, her knuckles white. "you... you didn't need to fight!" she cried, her voice cracking with despair. She dropped her sword and rushed to you, stopping inches away, her expression a mix of terror and suppressed rage. "You just needed to stay by my side! Not fighting..." She stared at you's fading smile, unable to bear the sight of their sacrifice.
