Chapter 197: Fate and Choice
Gu Qingshan stood up abruptly and walked back and forth in the small conference room.
The bitterness and bitterness of the previous life poured into my heart at this moment, and my emotions were like boiling water on a fire, and I couldn't calm down.
The past cannot be repeated, and the present does not belong to the past.
Two planes, different things, how to make it clear?
Gu Qingshan suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at Anna.
"Why are you coming to me at this time?" He asked.
In the face of the game of the Eternals, he can't make a mistake, and he really doesn't have the extra energy to take care of the rest.
But to help her is to help - is there any way to help her?
Gu Qingshan thought quickly.
Anna misunderstood his words a little, unconsciously tilted her head, and said softly: "I don't know, I don't have anything now, probably after a while, I will die on the battlefield, or be used as a puppet by the Fuxi Empire and help me to the throne of St. Orlanca." βγ
Her tone seemed to be talking to herself.
"But now that my father is dead and the Holy Kingdom has been divided, I, as the last member of the Medici family, must stand up and face this."
"This is the inevitable fate of my birth."
"I ...... I just feel like I should see you again before these things happen. β
She lowered her head and pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I finally met again, but I said something that embarrassed you." β
"Goodbye and take care."
Anna propped herself up on the couch with her hands and slowly stood up.
She took one last look at Gu Qingshan and walked out.
When he walked to the door, he had just opened the door, but Gu Qingshan's voice came from behind him.
"Anna."
Anna turned and looked at him.
"That's right," Gu Qingshan said slowly, "I'm doing something, if you can join, become my partner, and help me complete this important thing-"
"As long as you come and do this for meβ"
"I'll help you." Anna didn't ask anything, and said directly.
He was stunned and said, "I haven't said anything yet." β
Anna laughed at herself: "Anyway, my future is either to die on the battlefield or become a puppet, and before that, I am willing to help you do something in the end." β
"You just take me as ...... Go with the flow. β
She concluded.
Gu Qingshan was completely stunned on the spot.
The aftermath of the previous life is still in my ears.
"Thank you for saving my life, I will remember your name and repay you in the future."
"Give me back? What's in return, you just treat me as a handy. β
At this moment, whether it was a coincidence or a fate, Anna said exactly the same thing as in her previous life.
Gu Qingshan suddenly felt that his heart was hit by something.
Huge and silent emotions filled the chest, but could not be poured out in any words for catharsis.
He stood up slowly, and the whole person seemed to have a different temperament.
"Anna ......"
"I have two choices for you here."
"What choice?"
"I can give you all the skills of the mobile armor in a while, I will help you introduce the president, take the lead in letting you meet with the martial saint, I will do everything you ask, but after that, you should return to Fuxi and use the power I give you to cooperate with Fuxi to recover the holy country."
This is a historical event that actually happened in a previous life.
A few years later, Anna finally recovered most of the Holy Kingdom with the help of the powerful professional army of the Fuxi Empire.
And in this life, if she has the capital given by Gu Qingshan, Anna will definitely be able to use it to improve her status, gain more voice and freedom, and not be just the host of a puppet regime like in her previous life.
"Is this an option? What you're saying seems to have two options. Anna asked eagerly.
She unconsciously took a few steps back, forgetting to close the door.
"Yes, there's another option." Gu Qingshan said slowly.
"Join my team, be my partner, and do something with me."
"If you choose this option, then you don't have to deal with the Fuxi Empire again, because one day, I promise that you will re-establish the Medich family kingdom on the ruins of the Holy Religion, and I will stand by your side and help you clear all obstacles, and I will put you on the throne and make you the Queen of the Orlanka Empire."
"You...... Are you sure you can do it? Don't lie to me, the Emperor of the Fuxi Empire would not dare to say such a thing. Anna looked at him uncertainly.
"Now is the time for you to make your choice."
Gu Qingshan looked at her squarely and continued.
"Trust me, just join my team and stay and help me."
"If you think what I said can't happen, then push open the door, walk out, and return to the Fuxi Empire, and what I promised you just now will be honored to you."
"Choose."
After saying that, he closed his mouth and looked at Anna quietly.
Anna was stunned and looked at him, as if to discern the true meaning of these words.
This was definitely the most difficult choice in Anna's life.
Anna was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said, "I only have one question. β
"Say."
Anna took off the substitution contract around her neck and spread it out in the palm of her hand.
"Do you know this thing?" She asked softly as she stared at the man across from her.
"A token of death." Gu Qingshan said.
Finally confirming the answer, Anna was stunned for a moment.
"You know, you know it's around my neck."
She hung her head, unable to see the expression on her face.
The room was quiet.
Gu Qingshan didn't urge her.
Anna didn't answer right away.
After a while.
Anna muttered to herself, "I'm carrying too many things......
She took a step back in the direction of the door.
Gu Qingshan didn't say a word.
"The fate of me and my country cannot be hastily handed over to anyone......"
As if to convince herself, she took a few steps and stood in the doorway.
Gu Qingshan remained silent.
Time slowed and stood still at this moment.
Long.
She reached out and closed the door.
"I don't know if it's right or wrong."
She said helplessly, turned around, and walked towards Gu Qingshan step by step.
"However, you are the first person in recorded history to return the Grim Reaper token to the previous wearer."
"I'm willing to follow you to do what you want to do - but will you really help me?"
She looked at Gu Qingshan, and in her dark eyes, there was a glimmer of light that would be blown away at any time.
"I will."
Gu Qingshan met her gaze and said solemnly and firmly.
Anna bit her lip tightly and nodded silently.
She stretched out her hand and hung the Grim Reaper token around Gu Qingshan's neck.
"If you really do what you promised......"
"I will make you the Prince of the Orlanka Empire."
His Majesty the Prince is the Queen's husband.
Her face was slightly red, and the swaying light in her eyes froze, reflecting Gu Qingshan's appearance.
Gu Qingshan's momentum suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Prince-"
His mouth was covered by Anna's hand.
There was a knock at the door.
Zhang Yinghao coughed lightly outside and said, "Brother, I don't want to disturb either, but it's your turn to speak at the meeting." β
