"W-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 at your call, I am still an envoy of the gods. Mortals who want to pray to the gods and get help from the gods must make some sacrifices. After all, this is not the case right now.

It’s a particularly dangerous situation, so I won’t do any charity.”

"The situation is dangerous. Now the enemy is almost attacking our royal city. Isn't it considered dangerous?"

"Of course not."

The red ponytail glanced at Louise.

"This danger is only for you, the top leaders and the ruling class of the country. Maybe after the destruction of Toristin, you will be caught and executed, but this is a normal phenomenon. I will protect your safety, but this country is not here

In my opinion, because wars and annexations between countries are normal phenomena. Unless the other party wants to kill all the citizens of Torristin without leaving a single one, in this case it is considered a humanitarian crisis. I

Then he would do it for free. But now..."

As he spoke, the red ponytail pointed at Henrietta.

"She just longs to keep her family's right to rule the country and keep the top leadership of the country. And if this is her wish, she must pay a price."

"How can you say that Her Royal Highness the Princess is protecting the citizens of this country!"

"Well said, but I am not from this country."

The red ponytail shrugged and looked at Henrietta again.

"So, what's your decision?"

"your Highness………"

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

"See this wedding dress? Louise?"

"yes………"

"You should know the reason why I put on this wedding dress."

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

"Yeah, but it all means nothing now."

Speaking of this, Henrietta 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 this country, I will do it. And if I have to choose..."

As she spoke, Anrietta showed a slight smile.

"No matter what, a cute little sister is better than a barbarian king."

"Your Highness..."

Hearing this, Louise was already very clear about Henrietta's choice. Originally, her marriage to the king of Germania was just a political marriage, in order to curb Albion's offensive ambitions through an alliance between the two countries.

But now, since the other party has arrived at his door, it doesn't matter whether the marriage is concluded or not.

"It seems you have made a decision?"

"Yes."

"very good."

Hearing Anrietta's answer, the red ponytail nodded and then snapped her fingers.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery immediately changed.

A white platform and countless spiers wrapped in a sea of ​​clouds appeared in front of Henrietta and Louise. The white door went straight into the sky. Under the radiance of the sun, the entire supreme sky showed unparalleled magnificence and splendor.

Looking at everything in front of them in stunned silence, both Henrietta and Louise opened their eyes wide in surprise and could not say a word.

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

Hearing this, Henrietta and Louise reacted and hurriedly knelt down in fear. If they had doubts about the identity of the red ponytail, then this scene was enough to completely dispel their inner feelings.

of doubts.

It seems that after returning, it is time to build a gate at the entrance of Tiandao Palace.

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

"Then...Anrietta de Torristine."

"yes!"

Hearing Red Ponytail's words, Anrietta also trembled and hurriedly responded. Although Red Ponytail's voice sounded no different from usual, it was filled with an unimaginable and powerful pressure.

As for just hearing her call her name, Henrietta felt as if her heart was going to stop.

Is this the power of God?

"What is your wish?"

"I...I hope that Toristine can always have peace..."

"Leave sleep talk to your dreams."

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Henrietta lowered her head in fear again, then she thought for a moment, and then raised her head.

"I, I hope that Tristin can become stronger!"

"You figured it out?"

"Yes... I understand. Torristin is too weak. Because of this, we have to compromise and make many painful decisions. But if we can become a strong country, then

…At least I won’t suffer such humiliation again!”

At this moment, Henrietta has completely connected. In the past, 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, Henrietta convinced herself that "this is for Tristin".

But now she understands why she must make this choice?

Why do those ministers still look so frightened at this juncture?

In the final analysis, there is only one reason.

That's because Tristin is too weak.

Compared to Gaul and Albion, Tristin is simply a rural place. Although the nobles and royal families here talk about dignity, glory, and credibility.

But... As Saber said, what is the use of these when the sword is attached to the body?

"This is not easy, and it is very difficult. Are you sure you have made this choice?"

"Yes, I have decided."

Anrietta nodded again.

"Are you sure? Remember, this is two different things from political marriage or making sacrifices. As for political marriages, you just lie on the bed and close your eyes and don't have to worry about anything. The same goes for making sacrifices, whether you are alive or dead.

, pain is only a momentary thing. But if you want to survive, if you want to work hard to become stronger, you must work hard for a long time. This may take years, decades, or even longer. And 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 many people will even regard you as an enemy. This is not only people from other countries, but also yours.

subjects.”

"Why, why?"

Hearing this, Louise asked doubtfully.

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

"But becoming stronger comes at a price."

The red ponytail stared at Louise.

"Just like if you exercise and learn 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 depends on yourself.”

"…………"

Louise stopped talking now. She remembered that Saber did the same to her. Logically speaking, as an angel, she could easily let herself learn magic. But Saber only taught her how to view herself correctly.

power, and how to use it, and then completely rely on her own efforts.

Louise still remembers 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 worked hard to learn the techniques of void psionic energy and has the power she has now...

In fact, Louise had doubts a long time ago. If there really is a god in this world, would that god really fulfill other people's wishes? If you just pray, you can fulfill your own wishes.

So what does the effort those people put into it count?
