You and me under the world tree

Then, the guard left.
In the empty palace hall, the aged King Gitland looked at the letter on the ground.
He reached out and picked up the parchment, gently rubbing the bloodstains on it.
In the end, he had no choice but to smile bitterly.
"Is this punishment for my incompetence?"

Good night everyone_(:з」∠)_
Chapter 10: The Wandering Visitor
dear father:
If you have received this letter, it means that things are getting dire.
A month ago, when I led the army to the border day and night, I was full of confidence.
I think I can lead the army to repel the Norwegian invasion, so I have some capital to brag to Studas.
However, I fail.
After several failed attacks, King Gevarus of Norway seems to have found the power once used by King Angentyr.
He quickly pulled up an army of berserkers, broke through several important fortresses on the border defense line, and at the same time captured the giant bear city on the border.
I thought they would follow the old rules of war, but I was wrong.
I once promised the people of Bear City that I would protect them and lead an army to repel the Norwegian invasion.
But I broke my promise.
There was nothing I could do in the face of that carnage.
I can only watch my own people being slaughtered, and now I can hear their wailing in my dreams.
Maybe it's punishment for my incompetence.
Every time I close my eyes, I can hear their wailing.
They asked me why I broke my promise, they asked me why I didn't keep my original promise.
No excuses, I really didn't protect them.
Maybe I'm not a qualified heir to the kingdom.
The wailing of the people, the wailing and questioning before death made me realize my own incompetence all the time.
Perhaps, I shouldn't be sitting in this seat.
Compared with my younger brother, my only advantage may be that I am slightly older.
But no matter what, I decided to stay on the border and stay in this city of roses.
I don't know if I will succeed in stopping the Norwegian invasion, but I am determined to live and die with my warriors.
In terms of strategy, I have moved all the surrounding residents away. They may arrive around the royal city in a month. Please be prepared.
In addition, please ask for help from the Goths and the Netherlands, they still have an alliance with us in Gitland, and they will never sit idly by.
Finally, please recall the Studus.
In case I have an accident (smear marks here).
No, after this war, I gave up my identity as the heir.
Compared with him, I really can't afford this responsibility. It should belong to more talented people.
If I can't come back, please say sorry to Studus for me. I promised to drink with him once, and this time I may have to break my promise.

The cold air spread in the room like this.When the eldest prince of Gitland woke up from the room, the spreading icy breath instantly woke him up.
However, this awakening is not a good thing in a certain situation.
When there was no one around, the situation not long ago could not stop echoing in his mind.
Wailing.
flame.
He watched helplessly as those 'humanoid monsters' who didn't even have armor but were only covered with primitive leather smashed the blockade defense line formed by the fortress with the most primitive violence.
And as a frontier fortress city at that time, Giant Bear City could not escape this kind of bad luck.
At that time, standing on the city wall, he could only watch those berserkers who were as tall as little giants break through the city gate with logs in their hands.
There is no force that can resist it.
But when he led the army to break out of the siege with all his strength, he found that he was unable to return to the rescue.
In order to stop the loss in time, he could only lead the remaining soldiers back all the way, and finally came to the Rose City.
What should I do next?
To be honest, he has never had a bottom.
Although a trustworthy messenger had been dispatched to report to the father, the moment he decided to write the letter, he had already made his choice.
But it would be nonsense to say that he himself was willing to die.
And who wants to die?
However, he did not leave.
Even though, as Prince Gitland, he could have 1 reasons to leave the front line, he stayed here after all.
On the one hand, it is because of the guilt for those slaughtered people of Gitland.
On the other hand, it may be because he is persistent in wanting to prove something.
responsibility?
Identity?
obligation?
To be honest, it was difficult for him to explain this kind of thing clearly.
"dong dong dong"
Just as Sead's thoughts gradually diverged, the short knock on the door pulled him out of those thoughts.
"Come in!"
he opened his mouth to speak.
With the sound of the door opening, a woman in armor walked into the room.
She is the shield maiden, Seiyad's handmaiden, and the bodyguard who fights for him.
"Your Highness..."
At this moment, the shield girl seemed to want to say something, but when she raised her head, she was too shocked by the scene in front of her to speak.
It wasn't that there was any problem, it was just because she found that His Highness was still wearing armor.
"you……"
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Under her highness's inquiry, the shield girl just shook her head.
"I just hope that His Highness will rest well no matter what."
Obviously, in her eyes, Sead's so-called 'rest' and 'sleep' are extremely limited.
Because he still wears armor now.
The shield maiden also took on the duties of a maid, so if she was as careful as she was, she immediately discovered the problem with her Highness's clothes.
He obviously didn't wear the armor just now, and he didn't take off the armor all night.
On the other side, Sead just smiled helplessly.
"Rest..."
He looked down at the armor he was wearing.
"How can I rest in this situation?"
Of course, the shield girl could hear deep worry from Sead's words, but she still wanted to persuade something.
"Just, if you don't take a good rest, how will you deal with the next battle?"
"..."
Sead had nothing to say about this.
"I'll find time to catch up on sleep."
After all, it is the concern from others. Even though he is a prince in terms of status, and the woman in front of him is just a shield girl (close servant), Sead will not reject this kindness.
only……
"But not now."
Facing the shield girl's gaze, Seiyad whispered.
"We still have a lot to do."
Then, he coughed lightly.
"Let's start with your business first. What do you want from me?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Although the shield girl was slightly unwilling, she still lowered her head.
She expressed her respect for it.
"A wandering warrior came to Rose City."
she whispered.
"Wandering warrior?"
After hearing what his shield girl said, Sead couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.
"Why are there still homeless people at this time?"
It was obvious that all the residents in the surrounding villages and towns were relocated before, so what kind of homeless people would come to this place?
"What's his name?"
"He said he was your cousin."
"cousin?"
Sead was taken aback.
"Is it him?"
Chapter 11: The Wandering Silver Serpent
Once, Neddard, King of Gitland, did have many children.
He and his queen conceived two legitimate sons and carefully cultivated them. In addition, due to various personal reasons, he also had a large number of illegitimate children.
For example, the former Prince Hiltebrand and Princess Bordwell were both illegitimate children, and the meaning of their existence is itself a kind of benefit.
