You and me under the world tree

However, this kind of love has certain limitations.

Is it because of the king's position that he has to do this, or is it because of Gevarus's own nature?

For this point, no one can give an accurate conclusion, because outsiders generally dare not guess the king's mentality, and family members are unwilling to guess about this aspect.

Just like Nanna now, no one is willing to compare emotional matters with interests.

On the one hand, it is because I feel that this is too stupid, and because of feelings and interests, the former obviously occupies a higher position in my heart.

But on the other hand, isn't this a kind of retreat and fear?

In the face of the interests of the entire kingdom, Gevarus' paternal love for Nanna appears extremely noble, pure and at the same time extremely fragile.

Vulnerable...

Although Nanna would never admit this on the surface, in fact, she already had the answer in her heart.

Otherwise, Nanna should have the autonomy.

But in fact, she has no choice in this regard.

If what Griple said was true, and that the sunny and handsome young man currently circling the palace maze was really her fiancé, it meant her father didn't care about her feelings at all.

She hadn't even been asked for her opinion on the matter.

Let's see what my best friend's father did?

In the entire Atrium world, is there a better young hero than Siegfried?

But even in the face of such a character, with the relationship of cousins, Gripal did not force anything, let alone decide anything on his own.

The old king even gave them more contact opportunities and more time to get along after considering his daughter's character.

In this respect, the superiority and inferiority can be recognized at a glance.

Of course, Nanna can also think and guess from another angle.

For example, it's because her father thinks that man is extremely good, and she will be happy by his side?

But it doesn't matter which one it is, because no matter what she thinks, Nanna will always feel dissatisfied in her heart.

Because in fact, all she has in her heart is fear about her marriage and her so-called fiancé, and what she is really dissatisfied with is that her marriage was directly arranged.

But no matter what kind of dissatisfaction she has in her heart, it can only be suppressed in the bottom of her heart in the end.

Because in the end, all her emotions can only be turned into one sentence:

"I don't want to go..."

At this time, Nanna actually regretted it a bit. She regretted asking Hilda and Gripal for divination.

Because both of Griple's interpretations of the future picture foretell that her future will not be peaceful.

However, these fears are actually false.

For Nanna now, the most important thing is of course her best friend Hilda. She actually likes living in Iceland very much.

Sometimes she even thought that she would not get married anymore and would stay here with her best friend for the rest of her life.

But this kind of imagination is at best just a wild idea, which is completely impossible.

"I really don't want to go..." Finally, Nanna lowered her head.

Her voice was very low, and that helpless voice inevitably made Hilda flustered.

"It's okay, Nanna, didn't I say, we are still good friends, aren't we?"

While comforting the girl who seemed a little helpless at the moment, Hilda reached out and stroked her head.

"There's really nothing to be afraid of. If your future husband bullies you, I'll hit the door directly."

At this moment, only Hilda's whispers were heard in the palace, and the maids pretended they couldn't hear them, and Gripal remained expressionless.

As for Siegfried, who was brought here by Hilda, he just looked at Nanna curiously.

In fact, he didn't understand much, and he was a complete outsider.

"Uncle, is marriage such a terrible thing?"

Perhaps it was because the panic Nanna showed still infected him after all, and his words were filled with a certain dignity.

To put it bluntly, he still stood and talked without pain in his back.

After all, he is a dragon-slaying hero with explosive force value, and Hodder gave him great autonomy.

To him, getting married seemed like a 'just that' thing, and now, he didn't even think about it.

It was only natural that he, who knew nothing about it, would ask such a silly question, and under normal circumstances, his uncle would give the answer.

At most, it was just a little stab at him when answering, but today it seems to be different.

Because when Siegfried threw the question away, he just stood there, looking directly at the young princess.

"Uncle?" Siegfried couldn't help looking at Hodder, only to find that he couldn't take his eyes off him.

What is he looking at?

If it is an ordinary person, such a question will definitely appear in the mind.

Even people with bigger brains would think that Hodder must be looking at the princess, and even made up countless scenes in his mind.

However, Siegfried is not, he knows Hodder himself.

He knew that his uncle did have such a habit. Sometimes he shut up suddenly while talking, and then stood like this now, staring straight into the distance.

This seems to be the symbolic action of his thinking...

So at this time, Siegfried could only sigh silently in his heart.

Lost my mind again...

Siegfried knew that in a situation like this, his uncle seemed to be immersed in his own world, seeing nothing else at all.

However, before he could say anything more, Hodder suddenly moved.

The ups and downs of this movement are very small, in fact, it is just a sigh there.

"uncle?"

Although Hodder seemed to have returned from his contemplation, at this moment he still had no intention of answering Siegfried's question.

In this case, he just opened his mouth and said:

"There's no point in being afraid."

"Eh?"

Then, just like that, Siegfried on the side was stunned.

Uncle, were you thinking about this before?

wrong!

Uncle, have you been looking at Nanna?

After realizing this, Siegfried felt that he had a lot to say.

To be precise, he wanted to complain about it, but unfortunately, all the complaints were stuck in his throat like a car accident.

So now, he can't say a word.

But at this moment, Hodder didn't care about Siegfried, he just said those words in a casual tone:

"There is no need to be afraid. After all, in the end, it is you who makes the decision."

From Hodder's point of view, this is indeed a very stupid thing.

After all, the so-called fiancé is on the way now, and he will definitely meet at that time.

"If you don't like it, just say no."

He seemed casual, but there was some deep meaning and purpose in his tone.

Chapter 79: Hodder's Vision

Hodder himself is certainly not a nosy eighth woman.

In fact, he has never been the kind of person who suddenly intervenes in other people's affairs after messing around.

Besides, it's not that he can't walk when he sees a beauty, or he must lend a helping hand when he sees a beautiful woman crying.

He wouldn't do such a thing, it's too stupid.

After all, no matter in the modern society he knew or in the world view of the game, the loss shown by a woman like Nanna was of no value.

What?Hero to save beauty?

Only a shitty person would see intervening in someone else's marriage as a form of salvation.

Of course, it may also be because Hodder's own psychological bias is dark. The reason why he has no plans in this regard is because of a problem that players will consider: mission rewards.

Although a bit ruthless, this is indeed the fundamental reason that drives players like Hodder to act.

However, it is worth mentioning that, in Hodder's field of vision now, there are no exclamation marks above the heads of Nanna and the surrounding NPCs.

Since there are no tasks to talk about, there will naturally be no rewards.

So if this is the case, why did Hodder express his opinions and views on this?

On the one hand, of course, it is because of the sympathy that everyone has.

Players are the most ruthless group and also the most emotional group, and there are quite a few players who start to act because of the performance of the characters in the plot.

Of course, for Hodder, Her Royal Highness Princess Nanna, who has shown apprehension about the future and forced marriage, is indeed worthy of sympathy to a certain extent.

But in fact, what drove Hodder to say this was still interest.

However, this benefit has nothing to do with the player, but Huoder thought it out from the identity of 'Sage Hodder'.

There is no other reason, just because of Nanna's own identity: Princess of Norway.

As a player, Hodder has a huge amount of information, and he has a ready-made relationship map.

No need to think at all, just flip through the forum to fully understand the relationship between these main NPCs in Iceland, Norway, Denmark, and the northern seas.

In this case, Nanna's own identity is a little sensitive.

Because before, in Hodder's thinking, he had already decided to use the option of 'restoring the country' to win over the current North Wind Pirates.

According to the excavations of the players who have already cleared the North Wind Pirates mission line and Hewale, the main composition of the people under the head of the Boreal Pirates is not pirates.

In more than 20 years, the reason why the North Wind Pirates were able to unite into a group and become a group that can escort merchant ships and charge fees is the real reason that comes from the teachings of the older generation.

Because the composition of today's "Northern Pirates" is actually the former official background, and they are all the family members of Angentier who were expelled from Norway and the people who were loyal to them.

Among these true soldiers and warriors, there are naturally some extremists, but most of them are loyal men.

Howard survived with difficulty, and was but a babe when he came to the northern seas with the driven warriors.

But after she grew up, she firmly occupied the position of leader.

On the one hand, of course, it is because her methods are strong enough, and she is also quite a leader. Otherwise, it is impossible for today's North Wind Pirates to still exist, and it is estimated that they would have been torn apart long ago.

However, this is also inseparable from the loyalty of the original group of people.

As for such a group of brutal groups that retain their last loyalty, Hewale's decision is crucial. Among them, 'reviving the country' is undoubtedly the last resort.

But in fact, this means of cooperation is not the optimal solution.

The optimal solution in Huo De's mind is not 'cooperation', but to establish a relationship of 'upper and lower'.

After all, what he wanted was to 'woo' the North Wind pirates. Of course, this kind of wooing was to take all those people in the North Wind Sea area for his own use, even if it was the Navy of the Netherlands.

However, one has to be prepared for everything. If Hewale doesn't let go, Huo De can only use the trump card of 'Rejuvenation'.

However, no matter whether you choose to help Hevale restore the country or let her join the Kingdom of the Netherlands or even the Volsung family, there is one thing that cannot be avoided: revenge.

After all, Herwalla and those around her were forced to live a bloody life. Countless brothers and sisters of her died under Gevarus' coup d'état.

And this account must definitely be counted on the current King of Norway.

Although the plot of the northern wind pirate camp has not advanced to this point, and the official has not even updated the plot in this regard, but some players say that Hewale's revenge is inevitable.

After all, this is shown in the plot, and it is not realistic to want to reverse her idea.

Therefore, Gevarus must die, and in this case, Nanna's identity has become very delicate.
