Disclaimer: Fate/Stay Night is the work of Nasu Kinoko
She only wanted to do what was right, she only wanted to maintain peace, she only wanted her beloved country to prosper.
Plans don't always turn out right, she found out. The future was full of twists and turns that sought to throw one off balance. Eventually, all will fall.
It seemed like her turn had finally come. After years of borrowed youth, a temporary immortality granted by her Excalibur's scabbard, Avalon was lost, and her life-blood, which had sustained her for so long, was seeping out of her.
She was falling. - And she wanted to fall, could not wait to descend into depths of hel, for only there will she be able to atone for all the atrocious crimes she had committed in the name of her country.
Yet… she couldn't. The famed king couldn't let herself go, because there was still one thing left to do: one last, desperate act by a damned soul. She needed to find someone to succeed her, an heir of sorts. Britain needed a person to lead her into long-lasting prosperity, not the short, war-ridden one she had brought.
She needed to find a king that will overshadow her in history's pages, because she had no right to be remembered as a great leader or a wise king.
The truth was, she had no right to be remembered at all.
