You and me under the world tree

"what's up?"

"She's dead."

"..."

Then Hodder didn't respond.

Although he knew that Dietrich's guess did not actually have any substantial evidence.

She didn't see this with her own eyes, but it's hard to deny that deep feeling.

"So, what do you think?"

After hesitating for a moment, Hodder asked.

"It's a weird feeling."

She rubbed her head, but her body was a little wobbly.

"Dietrich!"

Just when she seemed to fall forward, he hugged her.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just feel empty in my heart."

Although her voice sounded the same as before, the trembling seemed to reveal something.

"It's okay, it's okay, Dietrich."

He put his arms around her shoulders, and Dietrich gently leaned her head against him.

"call……"

She took a deep breath.

"Howard."

"Ok?"

"I don't have parents anymore."

Chapter One Hundred and Ten: I Actually Envy You

In the extremely noisy corridor, Dietrich's voice was extremely clear.

And when she said that, the surrounding voices seemed to be far away.

At this moment, all Hodder could hear were her dry but trembling words.

"I don't have parents anymore."

"Um……"

With some heavy thoughts, he nodded slowly.

At this moment, he didn't know how to respond to this girl.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said:

"I don't have parents either."

Then, Dietrich herself froze for a moment.

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become awkward.

And this embarrassing atmosphere inevitably dilutes the confusion deep in her heart that she doesn't know what to do.

After a while, she blinked her eyes.

"How can anyone be so comforting?"

she scolded.

After that, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

While sighing, he stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head.

"Then what can I say?"

At this time, the originally depressing atmosphere eased a little.

However, this does not mean that Dietrich herself can let go of what she experienced not long ago.

"Hodder."

"Ok?"

"Do you think I'm a little cold-blooded?"

"what happened?"

"I let my biological mother die. This is not something normal people can do."

"..."

At this moment, Huode's footsteps, which had been heading outside the palace, could not help but slow down.

Why do you always hold on to this topic?

At this moment, he really wanted to ask her directly.

However, he also understood that Dietrich herself had no way to answer this question.

Her mind is a little strange now, she can be regarded as a six gods without a master, so she began to keep looking for topics.

Maybe it's to find a suitable reason for your behavior.

Maybe it's to go one step further on the above basis and justify myself.

However, it's also possible that she just wanted someone to talk to.

Whether it is a positive evaluation or negative criticism, she will accept it.

It was as if she had easily accepted the title of 'monster' given by Elmrich's three children.

But then again, the evaluation of the enemy and the opinion of the people around them are completely different things.

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

He thought he probably understood what was going on.

In this chaotic situation, maybe even Dietrich herself didn't understand her deepest thoughts.

Seek comfort, seek approval.

This is actually an instinctive behavior that everyone has.

It's just that some people like to exaggerate, put on it all kinds of annoying, moral kidnapping coats, and even bring the rhythm crazy.

It seems that simply expressing that you are seeking approval is actually a sign of vulnerability.

in this world.

Everyone has family and friends, and everyone has things they care about.

And it is inevitable to feel uneasy when they disappear and become out of reach.

Not to mention now, Dietrich's situation is almost rare in a thousand years.

Even bards can't write such outrageous character backgrounds.

"Sure enough, am I cruel?"

On the other side, seeing that Hodder had lost his voice, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"However, if she survives, I feel sorry for my father..."

"The so-called revenge is such a thing."

Without waiting for Dietrich to continue to say something, Hodder made a conclusion on this.

Because it has no result.

It is inappropriate to pursue so-called legitimacy.

"No matter what others say, there are two things that will not change. First, she was one of the planners of the coup."

Not being coerced, but a planner in the true sense.

This is a very different matter.

Those maids with swords under her could even rush out from the surrounding area following one of her orders, which was prepared in advance.

Moreover, even if she took ten thousand steps back, she herself was an insider.

As an insider, but concealing and not reporting, this in itself symbolizes a choice, and it is by no means something that can be dismissed by neutrality or coercion.

As a goth queen, who can coerce her?

"Second, she wants to kill you."

This kind of thing must be clearly distinguished.

Don't look at the woman Otilia who is now showing regret, and even when she is crazy, she still regards Dietrich as her daughter.

But these are two different things.

"Family love is indeed priceless, but someone just put him on the scale of interests, and her behavior is no different from Elmrich."

"Elmrich..."

Speaking of this name, Dietrich subconsciously frowned.

The name disgusted her to the core.

Not only the hatred, but more importantly, his deeds.

Reggie Bald, Friedrich, and Samson may behave differently, but they are all unwilling to lay hands on their loved ones and would rather die together.

In the end, why is their father such a person?

So could their mother be the Iron Lady from somewhere?

But then again, the mother of the three brothers has never appeared, and seems to have been dead for a long time.

No, no, what a mess.

Before she knew it, her thoughts became confused.

And she quickly shook her head, throwing these messy things out of her mind.

"Have you figured it out?"

At this moment, Hodder's voice echoed again.

As for this, Dietrich did not verbally express anything.

She just nodded calmly.

"That's the fact. Elmrich also regards Frederick and the others as his own children, but he can still kill them for himself, and the matter with Ottilia is also very simple."

"I know."

Without waiting for Hodder to say anything more, she shook her head.

"As a queen, she was at fault for having an affair with the palace minister. In order to cover up her fault, she wanted to kill me together. For her, fame is obviously more important."

Perhaps, for her daughter, these things are a bit difficult to accept.

After all, that was her mother.

Who doesn't want to be the most precious treasure in the hearts of their parents?

Even now.

So, she couldn't help closing her eyes.

"Relax, Dietrich."

Watching her complicated expression, Hodder couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Anyway, your father loves you."
