You and me under the world tree

Because he broke his promise.

Next, he wanted to enter the realm of the gods through his achievements in the war that approximated the unification of Midgard, and then seek a suitable opportunity to kill the king of the gods who seemed to be superior but was actually extremely dirty.

He wants to completely collapse God's Domain, and this must be contrary to the expectations of the subjects under his rule.

Not to mention whether they can enter the domain of the gods by dying in battle, and even if they can become heroic warriors or servants of the domain of the gods, once certain things are exposed, they will not be able to survive at all.

In the final analysis, the path that Etzel himself chose, in any case, can only be 'destroyed'.

It's fine if you die, but what about the others?

What about the people who expect him and trust him?

And what about his wife?

Just like that, staying in the castle hall, Etzel's thoughts suddenly went blank.

Once, when he stepped out of Jotunheim and decided to exchange his own life for the lives of those gods, he never had any regrets.

However, with the gradual advancement and the establishment of Hungary with one hand, he began to hesitate.

"The so-called life turns out to be such a heavy thing."

In the past, he had only carried his mother's death on his shoulders.

That hatred, that anger drove him to action.

But now, there are more and more things.

It's as if the hands and feet are being pulled, and it is extremely difficult to move forward.

But at the same time, he also completely lost the power to retreat.

Because you have come to this point, you can't go back anyway.

"call……"

With a long sigh like this, while adjusting his emotions, he searched for a way in the corridor according to his memory.

turn the corner.

Go upstairs.

He finally came to the room where the king lived.

And there, he saw Bertha again.

She was standing at the door with her arms around her plump body.

"She just finished washing, and I helped her wipe her body."

Bertha didn't say much nonsense, and after seeing Etzel coming in front of her, she opened her mouth to say these more important things.

"However, she is already doubting what happened before, after all, the movement before is really not small."

What exactly was Bertha referring to?

Of course it was about the shaking of the castle before.

"Before I felt it clearly in the kitchen, let alone her."

"Then how did you respond?"

Etzel asked.

"I didn't explain it, I just said that you are still busy."

Bertha replied.

"It's just that this girl is actually very smart. Before she asked me, she probably already guessed something, and she was short of a witness who could verify her guess."

"So, what do you want to say?"

"I don't want to say anything, I just tell you these things."

Facing Etzel's questioning and skeptical attitude, Bertha just responded calmly.

"My job is just to make sure your wife's baby is born safely."

Then, she left, and her back gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

And Etzel just watched.

Then, he began to adjust his expression, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he pushed open the door.

Of course there was a maid in the room, because Heier Jie had to be taken care of at all times.

However, Etzel's eyes did not stop at those maids.

All he was looking at was his wife.

Heiljie, that woman just lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was resting.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It is a sense of peace that cannot be described in words.

Originally, Etzel was still preoccupied at the moment before entering the room.

He was even worried that his bright wife would see something wrong with him.

After all, for now, he is still weak.

Although the giant's powerful physique helped him quickly absorb a large amount of nutrition, this level was no less than setting up a banquet and then feasting on it.

However, this does not mean that he is cured.

After all, he is a giant born with insufficient nutrition and a depleted body.

So, he has a problem that most giants, even gods like Thor, the god of thunder, don't have: the burden of digestion.

For Etzel, the recovery method of overeating, which is almost common to giants and gods, will put a huge burden on the body.

If it was Thor, he would have recovered from his weak body just after eating the nutrient cake.

The injuries on the body can be recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But not Etzel.

His lips were a little pale even now.

The poison of the black dragon, the transformation of the 'life force' is simply fatal.

In other words, when the person cursed by the evil dragon is driven, he doesn't even need to exert any power, he only needs an 'introduction' and a mouthful of poisonous flames to react quickly.

Transform the lives of others into toxins, and further poison the parties themselves.

This is the true face of the black dragon flame.

Under the interaction of the two, Etzel's physical strength naturally declined visible to the naked eye.

Even now, he feels that his footsteps are a little flimsy, not as solid as before.

As a fighter, he can feel his body is a bit heavy.

So not only is the footsteps of walking different from before, but the voice also has a weak taste.

These are actually very small details, and when he talked with the guards and met the maids in the corridor before, no one pointed this out to him.

Not even the goddess named Bertha is mentioned.

In theory, then, the temporary disguise he displayed should be perfect.

But, that was his wife after all.

It's his pillow.

Although there was no reason, Etzel was worried that the woman who couldn't stand any stimulation would see through this.

But now, even that worry has vanished.

After seeing his wife's peaceful face, Etzel felt his mind was completely empty.

No worries or sorrows of any kind.

If possible, he really hoped that time could completely freeze in this moment.

Unfortunately, such a thing is impossible.

Time was flowing, and he also walked into the room, which meant that he might wake up his wife.

"Your Majesty..."

"Shh."

Just before the maid subconsciously exclaimed, Etzel raised a finger in front of her lips.

And the young maid also covered her mouth belatedly.

"You go out, and you too."

Naturally, there was more than one maid in the room.

Therefore, Etzel's words were not just addressed to the reckless maid who had acted before.

After that, the maids did not hesitate at all.

After bowing to the king, they quickly left the room.

"We're right outside the door."

They said so in low voices.

Etzel didn't look back either.

At this moment, he just waved his hand, indicating that he knew.

Just after the door was gently closed, he looked back at the closed door.

Then, he looked around again and confirmed that there was nothing unusual inside the room.

Finally, he cautiously stepped towards his wife.

He controlled his footsteps as much as possible, not to wake her up.

However, the caution he showed seemed to be in vain, because just as he approached, the woman who had closed her eyes opened her eyes.

Then, the eyes of the two sides met.

Although Haierjie's eyes were obviously tired, they were still clear.

"Etzel."

she whispered.

Although at this time, she is trying her best to control her emotions.

However, Etzel still saw a sense of relaxation from her expression.

"Is everything done?"

Heierjie asked about this.

And this couldn't help but make his heart skip a beat.

Although his queen actually didn't say anything about sensitive topics, various details have already hinted that she has some vague guesses.

Thinking of this, Etzel couldn't help feeling his mouth dry.

Originally, he felt that he should have a lot to say.

For example, he felt that he could 'explain' to her well what he had done.

Not to mention coaxing and deceiving, but at least you can't tell her the superficial truth.

He felt that he should be fully prepared, at least able to communicate with her.

But the so-called words he prepared seemed completely useless at this moment.

"It's all done."

In the end, such dry sentences were all Etzel could confide.

"Just deal with it."

she whispered.
