"A king is one who kills everyone to save everyone. A king is no longer human. A king cannot rule with human emotion," Saber recited quietly. "And the duty of a hero is to be hated. Ostracized. Just as a King. And when I all the corruption was before me - All the World's Evil - I willingly took it in and embraced it. Endured it and still do."
She looked to her hands, flexing her fingers. "It was my obligation to do so. I had lived such a foolish dream and finally, finally I could wake and face the reality I had ignored for so long." Saber raised her eyes to meet those of her other self.
"So many lost their lives because of me, that I owe a blood debt that I will never be able to repay. And that is true despair. So this is my penance."
