Chapter 51: The Emperor Of Eternal Night And The King Of Glory Have The Same Name?
_____
Kaguya Sama: "Why are you surprised? Nero's existence, needless to say, is well-documented.
The history of our world clearly records that you are a woman, but King Arthur is completely different.
Here, he is a man."
Kaguya Sama: "Although history may contain some deviations and errors, even the gender being incorrect cannot simply be dismissed as a mistake.
Thinking about the gender of King Arthur, Artoria, in her mind, Kaguya suddenly thought of a possibility.
Kaguya Sama: "It seems that the person who can cause such a change is probably connected to the King of Glory.
It is amazing that the existence of two worlds has been realized."
Although the Emperor of Eternal Night created a new era of thought and was praised as the greatest emperor, the one who broke the limitations of the world and created its glory is undoubtedly even more praiseworthy.
Seeing that Kaguya Sama leaned toward Britain, Nero was a little unhappy.
Tyrant Nero: "You... I don't know how to explain this to you. If you have the courage, let's meet, and I will show you who the strongest king truly is!"
Mellie: "Let's meet! Who's afraid of who?"
She responded to Nero without hesitation. Even a homebody can occasionally show off outside.
Guinevere: "Ms. Nero, speaking of this, I actually have a question I'd like to ask you."
It had been said before that Guinevere's wisdom and intellect were the highest among the five, including Morgan, and naturally, she had done the most research on history.
She took the initiative to talk to Nero but refrained from joining the discussion about who was more powerful, the King of Glory or the Emperor of Eternal Night.
Tyrant Nero: "What do you want to ask?"
Guinevere: "As far as I know, the name of the Emperor of Eternal Night is Reinhard Claudius. May I ask, did he give himself this name?"
Thinking about what she knew of the Emperor of Eternal Night and cross-referencing it with the records she had just checked, Guinevere began to wonder if Elric had any connection to the Emperor of Eternal Night in Rome. After all, the two shared highly unified ideals of freedom and fairness.
Tyrant Nero: "His name? It was given to him by his father. In your terms, it's probably Claudius IV."
After some thought, Nero, familiar with the origin of Elric's name, continued, "Why? Is there something wrong with the name of the player?"
Guinevere: "It's not a problem, just an interesting coincidence."
Guinevere: "Do you happen to know the name of the King of Glory?"
Tyrant Nero: "I've never heard of the King of Glory, nor do I know his name."
Pouting slightly, Nero found herself most annoyed by others holding secrets over her.
Guinevere: "The full name of the King of Glory is Reinhard Pendragon!"
Guinevere directly revealed Elric's name to the group, curious about Nero's reaction.
Tyrant Nero: "Ah ha? I knew it! Your emperor is obviously an admirer of the Emperor of Eternal Night. Even the name is the same—what else can you say?"
In the Roman Empire, due to Elric's extraordinary deeds, the entire nation held him in high esteem, and many named their newborns Reinhard.
After all, the idea of fairness and justice had already begun to spread in the Roman Empire, and the head of the empire would not be embarrassed to say that ordinary people could not use the king's name, right?
But too many people used the name Reinhard, so later it was forbidden to name newborns Reinhard.
When Guinevere said that the King of Glory was also called Reinhard, Nero became visibly excited!
Mellie: "Ah? It's just the same name; it's a coincidence!"
Her face twitched slightly, and the carefree Mellie didn't think much of it. "She probably just thinks it's a coincidence."
"Vivian," Guinevere didn't continue speaking in the group but instead turned to the palace. "You said before that the King was born in Avalon and named himself Reinhard after he was born, right?"
After Elric left, the five Morgan girls had become very good friends as time passed, often sharing everything they knew about Elric.
Guinevere asked this question while remembering Vivian mentioning that Elric was born in Avalon.
Vivian: "Yes, the master said his name is Reinhard."
Morgan: "Guinevere, are you suspecting that the Emperor of Eternal Night and..."
Morgan looked at Guinevere and quickly guessed her line of thought.
Guinevere: "Yes, I suspect the King and the Emperor of Eternal Night might be the same person, but I'm not sure. After all, as Mellie said, maybe the name is just a coincidence."
Artoria: "This is very simple. We just need to ask Nero one thing."
Artoria suddenly spoke up, proposing a way to confirm whether the Emperor of Eternal Night and the King of Glory having the same name was just a coincidence.
"What method?" The other four women looked at Artoria with curiosity.
"Do you remember our identity? Something we all share."
With a slight smile, Artoria finally managed to occupy the intellectual high ground. Although she had been trained very well by Elric in this world, she had always been slightly behind Morgan and Guinevere in terms of wisdom.
Now that she finally had an opportunity to demonstrate her insight, the King of Knights was quite happy.
Mellie: "We're all women?"
Vivian: "We're all master's lovers?"
Offering two completely unreliable answers, Mellie and Vivian fully embraced their role as comedic background characters.
Morgan: "Artoria, you should be referring to Followers, right?"
Guinevere: "Yes, the King's existence is not human—its essence is divine. And we are all Followers of that divinity."
Guinevere's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something. "Then, that Nero should be like us—also a Follower."
Speaking of this, Guinevere paused and then added, "No... history records that the Emperor of Eternal Night only lived for 32 years and then left. If we follow the idea that the King is divine, he wouldn't age or die of illness."
After summarizing what everyone had discussed, Guinevere turned back to the group and directly addressed Nero.
Guinevere: "Nero, I want to ask you another question. Is the Emperor of Eternal Night a god?"
