Chapter 263 The Prince's Position is Unbearable
Piero's words were simply earth-shattering!
After he finished speaking, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
There were so many people present, but no one made a sound or spoke.
Almost everyone was shocked and excited.
This is true for Ningguang who leads the Thousand Rocks Army, the Thousand Rocks Army, this group of Fatui, Paimon, and Gu Chen himself.
The only one who was not too surprised was Shen He.
Because Shen He lacked common sense, she couldn't understand what the so-called Prince of Winter was.
Specifically, the concept of the Prince of Winter is...
It is not just a position, it represents a status vaguely equal to that of the Queen of Winter.
In terms of being second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people, Piero, the leader of the fools, is not as respected as the prince.
In addition to its transcendent status, the position of prince also represents another meaning, namely... the husband of the queen!
Just like Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, her husband is Prince Philip.
Therefore, the Ice Queen's willingness to bestow the title of Prince upon Gu Chen meant...
The Ice Queen is willing to commit herself to him!
This is definitely not Gu Chen's narcissism, the position of prince really means this!
It was precisely because he understood this that Gu Chen fell into deep thought after hearing Piero's earth-shattering words.
Is my current value enough for the Ice Queen to gamble herself away?
Don't say it yet.
Ever since he transformed into Nexus, he easily defeated Osel and repelled the abyss.
It seemed that his influence and power had reached an unprecedented level.
Ordinary people may not have much of a real feeling about it, but people at the level of gods should be able to feel it personally.
In other words, with Gu Chen's current strength, if he wants to do something, basically no one on the continent of Teyvat can stop him.
How could Zhidong not be moved by such a person and such an existence?
Therefore, it is not particularly surprising that the Ice Queen paid such a huge price to win me over.
Isn't that particularly strange?
Not necessarily.
The Ice Queen can pay a higher price, but there is no need for her to really sacrifice herself!
Or does the Ice Queen really have the courage to sacrifice herself?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel some interest in the Ice Queen, whom he had never met before.
Of course, he suppressed this interest in his heart.
At least on the surface, Gu Chen still looked calm, still silent, and still no one could tell what he was thinking.
Before I knew it, the deathly silence at the scene had lasted for more than a minute.
During this minute or so, no one spoke, and everyone was immersed in great shock.
The one who broke the silence was a little-known recruit of the Qianyan Army.
The new soldier couldn't help but curse at the group of fools:
“Damn it!
This group of shameless people actually tried to steal our Liyue girls in public and wanted to kidnap our Lord Gou Chenxing!
This is intolerable, what else can we do?"
After these words spread throughout the venue, everyone present had black lines on their heads.
Ningguang looked at the new recruit with a wry smile. She wanted to scold him, but she didn't know where to start.
After all, what this new recruit said was true.
The Fatui made such a big fuss today, and Piero's words just now were indeed full of suspicion of poaching. He really wanted to lure Gu Chen to their Zhidong.
Such sinister intentions are hardly concealed.
Even the way they poach employees is so... immoral!
Who would have thought that Zhidong would use the beauty trap!
It's okay to use the beauty trap.
The key person who used this beauty trap to lure Gu Chen was actually... the Queen of Ice!
Wow, the Ice God is risking everything!
At this moment, Ningguang felt a little depressed.
Isn't it just a honey trap? Who's afraid of who?
We have so many beauties in Liyue, why should we be afraid of the beauties among you fools?
But, you, the Ice Queen, are using yourself to make a nest. Isn't that... a bit unfair?!
Feeling helpless, Ningguang even had some unrighteous thoughts in her mind.
If the Emperor is a goddess, then there is no such thing as the Ice Queen! ?
Master Gu Chen, please do not be seduced by this honey trap! You are the Gou Chen star of our Liyue!
Not only Ningguang had a similar cry in her heart, almost all the Qianyan soldiers present had similar thoughts in their minds.
They were all worried that Gu Chen would be seduced away by Zhidong.
What about Gu Chen himself?
The situation is actually not so bad. He is not so shameless as to lean towards Zhidong just because of the title of prince and the ambiguous possibility.
After all, Liyue is his second hometown, and this is not just talk!
Therefore, from beginning to end, there was no expression on Gu Chen's face.
Looking at Piero who was standing there quietly waiting for a response, Gu Chen finally spoke:
"I appreciate the kindness of the Ice Queen.
However, as your Highness, I cannot afford such a great blessing."
Seeing Gu Chen's firm attitude, Piero was somewhat unwilling:
"Your Highness..."
Gu Chen raised his hand to refuse:
"Don't call me Your Highness. Just call me Sir. I already said I can't handle that title."
Piero sighed slightly, his attitude still very serious:
"Lord Gu Chen, whether it's Zhidong, the Fatui, or our Queen, they are all sincere to you.
As long as you are willing to come to us until winter, the throne of prince will be handed over to you!
Not only do you hold the title of Prince, you also possess the same status and power as our Queen! All of us Fatui can pledge our loyalty to you..."
Gu Chen raised his hand to refuse again, his tone became firm:
"Stop it!
I cannot bear the loyalty of you fools!
I admit, there are some of you fools that I admire.
But in the same way, among you fools, there are some whom I hate from the bottom of my heart.
If one day...
I'm talking about if, for example.
If one day, I really become your Prince of Winter and have absolute control over you Fatui.
The first thing I did was to chop into pieces, cut into pieces, and torture to death some of the fools I disliked!
I will destroy his soul and never let him be reborn!
Such people cannot coexist with me, and the conflicts between us cannot be resolved.
Therefore, I cannot bear the loyalty of you fools.
As for the so-called honorable position of a prince, I can only respectfully decline it."
Now, it was Piero who was speechless.
Gu Chen has said it so clearly and directly, what else can he say?
Piero knew exactly who the Fatui people that Gu Chen had just mentioned were.
But Piero knew better that they, the Fatui, could not give up on this man until winter.
This person is of extremely high value to their great cause of winter.
