You and me under the world tree

"My father has already paid the price for this, and I don't want to repeat the same mistakes. Pirates are better than the false names created by those Valkyries."

After all, Siegfried himself recognized this long ago.

Nothing is as important as his own strength and the army in his hands. A 'team' that does not rely on so-called fame is the best weapon for him to conquer the Netherlands.

"And in this world, there must be no more reliable pirates than those pirates who have no owner and no one wants to get involved."

"It's all about the Netherlands, you can borrow troops from us..."

"It's impossible. I can owe favors, but I don't want to be lower than others."

Staring at the Icelandic princess, Siegfried spoke slowly.

"I've talked to my uncle about these things, and he supports my approach."

Because Gripper is a smart man after all, if Iceland really assisted Siegfried and provided an army openly, then the blood relationship maintained between them would be mixed with impurities.

"Once Iceland gets involved, we can no longer be friends, Griple can't be my uncle, and you can't be my cousin."

This sentence is actually easy to understand.

Because once Iceland intervenes, it will not even be the king himself who decides these, and the nobles in the country will also promote this independently.

The king has enormous power, but it is not a good thing to be in harmony with the nobles in the country.

Therefore, it is the easiest solution to let Siegfried do it himself. He can only provide some personal sponsorship in the name of his uncle.

"I can figure it out, and you should be able to understand it too, right?"

At this moment, Hilda is still a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it's because the amount of information Siegfried said is too much, or maybe it's because her brain is rusty at the moment.

In short, Her Royal Highness's mind is indeed blank at the moment.

But Siegfried obviously didn't mean to be silent, because he also had questions to ask her.

"Can you answer a question for me? I just want to have an open and honest conversation with you."

"Say……"

Siegfried's words were an introduction to the current Hilda, making her brain like a stuck gear machine continue to spin.

Then, the next words made her fall into serious thinking.

"I hope you can tell me in what capacity you are helping me now."

"identity?"

"Are you now the princess of Iceland, or my friend, my sister?"

Then, Siegfried approached the other party, using his height advantage to look at the girl who was a head shorter than himself.

"Are you my partner, or a comrade-in-arms whom I can trust?"

The two were close at hand, and Hilda didn't retreat, a man and a woman just looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, because of Siegfried's sudden approach, Hilda's breathing suddenly became a little short.

After seeing this scene, the mouth under Hodder's helmet couldn't help but open wide.

"It's ok. In this respect, I follow my father... No, it's a family characteristic."

After all, in Hodder's impression, the Volsunger family were all self-taught to flirt with girls.

Chapter 93: Kicking the Ball

Thinking about it carefully, the direct bloodline of the Volsung family that Hodder knew, that is, Siegmund and his cubs, seemed to be self-taught in flirting with girls.

Not to mention Siegmund, he could unconsciously flirt with his younger sister Zigni when he was a teenager, and he could make Theotis fall for him by wearing an old handsome outfit when he was old.

Although Simfi Otley doesn't have anyone who can really be called a wife, but this guy's private life is not very careful, but the lovers are fierce even if they don't fight.

As for Helgi, it goes without saying.

Although Huo De actually didn't want to mention it, or even admit it, but on the surface, he was quite powerful for a girl from a family with a blood feud to fall in love with.

And more importantly, he is also a heartthrob.

It's just that compared to his elder brother, Simfi Otley, he received the education given by the sage Hodder since he was a child.

Although at the same time, he also has other teachers, but the sage Hodder is somewhat special after all.

Helji's other teachers at the time were generally nobles, and they all declared their allegiance to the lords of various places after the rise of the Volsung clan.

Even if there are those well-known wise men, their status is lower than that of Hodder, who comes and goes without a trace and is erratic.

This status does not refer to a physical status, but a psychological status.

Maybe it's just Huo De's own illusion. Anyway, when he himself is doing this kind of daily task of education, he is still very popular with Helgi.

So Helgi herself wasn't that slutty either.

As for the silly roe deer Siegfried...

Huo De really didn't see that he had this talent at first, because his performance has always been very simple, and the only thing that can be seen from the whole body is probably his face and temperament.

However, even this temperament sometimes reveals a kind of inexplicable stupidity.

But now, perhaps because of blood, the whole family can attract women, and Siegfried, who is the descendant, is no exception.

Even, this is not a matter of blood at all, to put it bluntly, it is still a matter of looking at that face.

If a person's face is ordinary, then the senses are just like that.

If a person's temperament and appearance look inexplicably hateful, then no matter what he thinks, what he wants to do is wrong.

Of course, this kind of right and wrong is not a fair judgment in essence, but just the feeling for others.

Because of the existence of personal emotions, the existence of "aesthetics" itself has added weight to the scale.

For a person like Siegfried, he has the resolute temperament of a warrior coupled with his handsome appearance, not to mention the girl killer, but it does fit the aesthetics of the women in Midgard.

In this case, if the obvious gluttony of love at first sight is not counted, Siegfried will not leave a bad impression on others when he first sees him.

What's more, his personality is extremely calm.

Although he came from the Volsung family, which is enough to make ordinary people feel extremely proud, the mediocre life of an ordinary blacksmith he lived since childhood has long polished the vigor he should have.

After that, the sense of gap caused by climbing from the identity of a small person to the identity of the descendant of Volsunger, the son of a hero, and the future king disappeared during the travel.

Because he has really polished himself, clarified the goal of his efforts, and will not be dazzled by the so-called honor.

Such young people are welcome wherever they go.

As for Hilda, the almost angry attitude she had towards Siegfried was simply because of the dissatisfaction in her heart.

When a petted and talented flower is suddenly crushed by a big tree that has experienced wind and rain and has already brought its talent to its fullest, I will feel unhappy in my heart.

If the days continue to be peaceful, Hilda probably will maintain this almost hostile attitude for a while.

But when there is a situation where you have to fight side by side like now, things become interesting.

In addition, Siegfried has now controlled the right to speak, so that the unwarranted misunderstanding between each other has not deepened, and he even has to talk openly.

Of course, if this is an ordinary ACG work, it's time to give full play to the character attributes of the female characters.

Generally speaking, when faced with the sincere attitude of the "male protagonist", the female characters will basically show a scene that matches their own personality.

Basically, the ones who can quarrel with the male protagonist in the story are generally the characters with the tsundere attribute.

Even if such a character agrees with or has a good impression in his heart, he will speak hard.

But it's a pity that Hodder waited here for a long time but didn't get Tsundere's famous lines.

He didn't see any panicked attitude from Hilda, she didn't retreat and scolded Siegfried for thinking anything out of place.

After all, after all, Hilda is a human being, a princess of the Kingdom of Iceland.

The composition of a person's personality can be said to be quite complicated, and it is impossible for her to just show the side that most people are familiar with.

The well-recognized strong man also has a lonely side that clenches his teeth and admits tears in the corner.

People who have been characterized as cowards since childhood will one day have the courage to face a strong enemy.

Human nature is such a complex thing that it cannot be described in a few words.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hilda herself is not a tsundere, not to mention that she is still a princess, and she has seen most of the world.

So finally...

"Pfft."

She laughed just like that, and from the beginning to the end, her eyes never left the young dragon slaying warrior.

Because some things don't need to be entangled with her at all.

"Cooperation? Comrades? Princesses? Relatives? Either is good, the most important thing is that I am here."

She didn't fold her arms around her chest, but put her slender arms behind her back.

"Trusting this kind of thing is, after all, a luxury. What it requires is not others, but yourself."

After all, can I trust you?

This kind of statement itself is a kind of doubt...

"I'm here now, I'm a princess of Iceland, I'm Gripper's daughter, but at the same time, we've had a good time together and it's an integral part of who I am."

Finally, she took a deep breath.

"Since you want to talk openly and honestly, I think you should tell me first, do you regard me as a friend and comrade-in-arms?"

This princess is a bit interesting...

After hearing Hilda's words, Huo De knew that this matter was not easy to handle.

Regardless of Siegfried himself thinking so, he, a bystander, had no choice but to raise his opinion of this superficially tiger-headed, single-minded princess.

It can be said that Gripal is quite cautious about the cultivation of heirs.

Of course he loves his daughter, but this kind of love is not spoiling.

You see, didn't she kick the topic back to the original?

Chapter 94: Stop arguing.jpg

open and honest...

Although that was indeed the idea at first, when Siegfried and Hilda talked about the topic of 'trust', the word was smashed.

After all, no matter what Siegfried said or what Hilda said later, these are all part of the speech.

Of course, if one of the two people, Hilda and Siegfried, is a real idiot, then this conversation can go on smoothly.

Unfortunately, they are not.

Hilda is a princess and the only heir to the kingdoms of Iceland and Greenland. Her father is not an idiot, but Gripoor, who relies on his wisdom to make Iceland deal with the various kingdoms and maintain neutrality while enjoying both sides.

What's more, the giant's blood brought Hilda not only abundant physical strength but also power far beyond ordinary people.

Her mother, Gonglu, has never been known for her strength, but her brains.

Then of course she is the same.

After all, no matter how you say it, a straightforward personality doesn't mean a bad mind.

After all, personality will change with the passage of time and the increase of experience, but a large part of wisdom is talent.

Without that talent, no amount of experience is useless. After all, only the wise can accumulate wisdom.

Not to mention Siegfried, it is true that the Volsungers are reckless, but no matter what, they have established a kingdom.

Moreover, Siegfried is not without talent in this regard.

Although it is definitely not as easy-to-understand as Helji's evildoer, but after traveling for a long time and his uncle's teaching, he has no relationship with the word 'hanhan' theoretically.

So under the dialogue between these two people, being open and honest became a joke.

The two people just kicked each other over there, kicking the topic of 'trust' like a ball. This process was a bit interesting at first glance, but it became a bit boring afterward.

Because in Hodder's view, their purpose is too simple: in fact, they all just want the other party to take a step back.

After all, both of them are newcomers theoretically. Even though they are proud of their identities and responsibilities, they never thought of harming each other.
