Chapter 1718 Your Choice

"You, what are you talking about, Saber!"

Hearing this, Louise widened her eyes in surprise and looked at the red ponytail.

"How can you say such a thing?!"

"Of course I can say this. Although I came here at your call, I am still an envoy of the gods. If a mortal desires to pray to the gods and get help from the gods, he must give something. After all, it is not right now. It is a particularly dangerous situation, so I will not do charity with a big heart."

"A dangerous situation, the enemy is almost hitting our royal city now, isn't it dangerous?"

"Of course not."

Red Ponytail glanced at Louise.

"This danger is only for the high-level and ruling classes of your countries. Maybe you will be arrested and executed after the collapse of Torristine, but this is a normal phenomenon. I will protect your safety, but this country is not here. In my consideration, because of wars between countries, annexation is a normal phenomenon. Unless the other party wants to kill all the citizens of the entire Torristine, and there is no one left, it is considered a humanitarian crisis in this case. I Only then will you make a free shot. But now..."

As he spoke, the red ponytail pointed at Anrietta.

"She is just eager to keep her family's right to rule the country and keep the high-level officials of the country, and this is her wish, so she must pay a price."

"How can you say that Her Royal Highness is here to protect the citizens of this country!"

"Well said, but I'm not from this country."

Red Ponytail shrugged and looked at Anrietta again.

"So, what's your decision?"

"your Highness………"

Louise couldn't convince the red ponytail, so she looked at Anrietta for help, and Anrietta smiled when facing Louise's words, and then she opened her hands.

"See this wedding dress, Louise?"

"Yes………"

"You should know why I'm wearing this wedding dress."

"It is to marry the king of Germania and conclude a military alliance."

"Yeah, but it doesn't make sense now."

Having said that, Anrietta looked at the red ponytail.

"I am willing to give everything for the country, including myself. Whether it is marriage or life, as long as I can do it for the country, I will do anything. And, if I have to choose..."

While talking, Anrietta showed a little smile.

"Anyway, a cute little sister is better than a barbarian king."

"Your Highness..."

Hearing this, Louise already knew Anrietta's choice very well. Originally marrying the king of Germania was nothing more than a political marriage, in order to curb Albion's offensive ambitions with an alliance between the two countries. But now, since the other party has already reached his door, it doesn't matter whether the marriage is married or not.

"It seems that you have made a decision?"

"Yes."

"very good."

Hearing Anrietta's answer, Red Ponytail nodded and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed immediately.

The white platform surrounded by the sea of ​​clouds and countless spires appeared in front of Anrietta and Louise. The white gate went straight into the sky. Under the brilliance of the sun, the entire sky displayed unparalleled magnificence and splendor. While staring at all this in a daze, Anrietta and Louise both opened their eyes wide in surprise, unable to utter a word.

"This is the divine realm, the supreme heaven, the city of the gods."

Hearing this, Anrietta and Louise came to their senses, and hurriedly knelt down in fear. If they had doubts about the identity of the red ponytail, then this scene is enough to completely dispel their hearts. doubts.

It seems that after going back, it is time to repair a gate at the entrance of Tiandao Palace.

Looking at the two people kneeling in front of him, the red ponytail nodded secretly in his heart. Indeed, being aggressive can be of great use in many cases!

"Then... Anrietta de Torristine."

"Yes!"

Hearing what the red ponytail said, Anrietta also trembled, and hurriedly responded. Although the voice of the red ponytail sounded the same as usual, it was filled with an unimaginably powerful coercion. So much so that just hearing her call her name, Anrietta felt like her heart was about to stop.

Is this the power of God?

"What is your wish?"

"I...I hope that Torristine can always be at peace..."

"Save the dream talk to the dream."

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Anrietta lowered her head again in shock, then she thought for a moment, then raised her head.

"I, I hope Torristine can become stronger!"

"You want to understand?"

"Yes... I understand that Torristine is too weak, and because of this, we have to make compromises and make many painful decisions. But if we can become a strong country, then ...At least I won't be subjected to such humiliation again!"

At this moment, Anrietta is completely connected. For the sake of peace, she felt that she had to compromise, whether it was watching her beloved crown prince being killed, or marrying the king of Germania. Well, at that time, Anrietta was convincing herself with "this is for Torristine".

But now she understood, why did she have to make this choice?

Why do those ministers still look trembling at this juncture?

In the final analysis, there is only one reason.

That is, Torristine is too weak.

Compared with Gaul and Albion, Torristine is simply a rural place. Although the nobles and royal families here are talking about dignity, glory, and reputation.

But...... As SABER said, when the sword is on the body, what is the use of these?

"It's not easy, it's very difficult, are you sure you made this choice?"

"Yes, I have decided."

Anrietta nodded again.

"Are you sure? Remember, this is not the same thing as political marriage or making a sacrifice. For a political marriage, you just lie on the bed and close your eyes and you don't care about anything. It's the same as making a sacrifice, whether you live or die , Pain is a momentary thing. But if you want to survive and work hard to become stronger, it may take years, decades, or even longer time to rely on long-term efforts. What you need to face, It is the desire, pain and anger of countless people. You have to know that your ideas are not in the interests of many people, and even many people will regard you as an enemy because of this. This is not only people from other countries, but even yours. subjects."

"Why, why?"

Hearing this, Louise asked suspiciously.

"Isn't it a good thing that the country has become stronger?"

"However, there is a price to pay for becoming stronger."

Red Ponytail stared at Louise.

"It's like exercising and learning magic. If you want to become stronger, do you need to pay a price? You need to give up something in order to gain something. I can only point out the direction and method for you, but are you willing to do it? , or it’s up to you.”

"..."

Louise stopped talking now, she remembered that Saber did the same to herself, logically speaking, as an envoy of God, she could easily let herself learn magic. But SABER just taught her how to correctly view her own power and how to use it, and then completely relied on her own efforts.

Louise still remembered what SABER said at that time.

"This is your own business, so you make your own choice. If you want to continue like this, I don't care."

But I'm not indifferent!

It is precisely because of this that Louise will work hard to learn the skills of void psionic energy, and has the current power...

In fact, Louise had doubts a long time ago. If there is a god in this world, will that god really fulfill other people's wishes? If one's wishes can be fulfilled just by praying, then what are the efforts of those people?

And now, Louise understands that although she doesn't know what other gods are like, the SABER she summoned obviously has her own way. Goals and desires themselves are still up to you.

Although this does not seem to be as omniscient and omnipotent as in the legend, Louise feels that such a god is more acceptable.

"So you understand, Anrietta?"

"I………"

At this moment, Anrietta hesitated. Unlike Louise, she could clearly hear the meaning behind it. After all, she is also the princess of the royal family anyway.

Because of this, Anrietta couldn't help but feel terrified.

"your Highness?"

Sensing Anrietta's strangeness, Louise couldn't help but looked at her worriedly, while Anrietta took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"I... I will."

"Very well, then the contract is established."

Red Ponytail nodded.

"Next, do you know what to do?"

"This……………"

"Louis and I will stop that army, and then?"

"Then………"

"To become a large country, territory, people and wealth are all necessary."

"Do you mean to let Torristine send troops to capture other countries?"

Louise was dumbfounded, and Red Ponytail nodded.

"That's right, there is no pie falling from the sky. If you want it, you can reach for it yourself. Fortunately, isn't this a good opportunity for pie falling from the sky?"

"You mean Albion?"

Hearing this, Anrietta also reacted immediately.

"However, the strength gap between us and Albion..."

"This is the time for me to play, otherwise, why should I sign a contract with you? I have given you strength, methods, and goals. Next, whether you want to achieve it depends on your own. chosen."

As he spoke, the red ponytail looked at Anrietta.

"When you make a choice, you have to bear the consequences."
