The thing that sort of rubs me wrong about it is that you would think her character would act more like a thematic counterpart to OG Saber, who was a machine-like king for the sake of her country. But in the end, the payoff is more or less the same, with Castoria becoming a conceptual sword under the rule of the world. Just a bit weird.
