You and me under the world tree

'Om'

Under the brilliance of the runes, the holy sword emitted a dazzling brilliance.

For a moment, this brilliance was even brighter than the morning sun.

There is no need to say anything more, the brilliance of the holy sword is enough to represent everything!

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!"

The cheers sounded one after another, like a wave.

And after witnessing this scene, no matter what kind of careful thoughts those noble envoys had, at this moment there was only longing.

"It's really popular." The Prince of Denmark, Rothger, said with emotion, "It would be great if... I can do this in the future."

There is no other conspiracy, just a longing.

Because until now, he who was raised as an heir did not know whether he could properly lead the Kingdom of Denmark.

But at this moment, a subtle feeling inevitably appeared in his heart.

Then, he turned his head, and what he saw was his mother: the incomparably complicated expression of Queen Theotis.

"Mother..."

"I'm fine, Rossig."

"..."

Chapter 120: There are two important elders in my life

Queen Theotis...

Her identity as queen of Denmark is actually very complicated.

As the queen of Denmark, she is Siegfried's biological mother, and she was indeed pregnant when she was taken away by King Elf of Denmark.

And all along, Elf has regarded her as the supreme treasure, and for this it can be regarded as doing his best.

In fact, the present king of Denmark has been avoiding her re-engagement with the Netherlands.

Maybe it was afraid that Theotis would think of Siegmund, or maybe it was not a good thing for Siegfried to be in power—at least not for the Kingdom of Denmark.

In short, before, Elf did his best to avoid contact with the Netherlands, where the civil war was breaking out.

In fact, Theotis also proposed to visit the Netherlands.

At least that's what she thought when Siegfried was sitting in the harbor of Amstel.

However, Elf refused.

But now, she returned to the Skywrath King City—the city where she lived as a queen.

Elf eventually released his beloved queen back to the land and city that her former husband ruled.

However, this is not because Elf suddenly thought about it, wanting to satisfy his wife's past regret.

This is just an act of necessity...

Because the relationship between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Volsung family has not been very good.

In fact, Denmark has a good relationship with the Hengding family on the surface.

Taking advantage of commercial and trade preferences, Denmark, which occupies the gateway to the northern peninsula, is actually full of oil.

And the Volsunger family is not as easy to talk to as the Hengding family.

Not to mention the huge war that swept across the entire northern peninsula and even included Iceland, in fact, the most important thing was the agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Hengding family.

And what that agreement brought about was the fall of Siegmund.

Although it is the Hengding family who are in charge of the frontal battlefield, the Kingdom of Denmark is also fighting on the sidelines.

So far, Siegfried has been trying his best to show his identity as Siegmund's heir.

It is true that this awakened the people of the Netherlands to look forward to heroes, but at the same time it also caused panic in the Kingdom of Denmark.

After all, Elf has never been in contact with Siegfried, so naturally he will not know what Siegfried really thinks.

Even, he would not think that the sage adopted a laissez-faire education.

The sage has always cared about his friends, so he even went to the palace alone, and then went all the way out of Denmark's ancient city of heroes.

A sage who can do that will naturally emphasize his friends in education.

There's no basis for that, but it's always been that way in the atrium world.

In this case, even if Elf loves his wife again, he has no choice but to release Theotis.

The purpose is very simple, family card...

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Losger couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head.

As the child of Theotis and the appointed crown prince of Elf, of course he has always been brought by his father's side.

Moreover, the father has always loved him very much, and has been doing his best to teach him and train him to be a qualified heir to the throne.

He naturally respects and loves his parents.

But it was also because of this that he felt a headache now.

At this moment, he still remembered his father's entrustment.

Elf asked him to take good care of his mother, whose body was relatively weak and could not withstand the bumps.

At the same time, Elf also entrusted his son Losger to bring his mother back to Denmark.

To put it bluntly, his father was still worried that Theotis would live in the Netherlands for a long time because he missed his child too much.

However, since coming to the Netherlands, Losger has noticed one thing.

The things his father worried about were actually unnecessary.

Because Siegfried never cared about Theotis, he never even paid attention to this blood relationship.

As envoys from Denmark, it has been a long time since they arrived in the City of Wrath of Sky, and even ten days have passed since the day they first arrived.

But during this period of time, Siegfried never showed any importance to Denmark.

Even, because the young king sitting on the throne feels too oppressive, no one will mention this matter in front of him.

The reason why the envoys of those kingdoms are here is to establish a good relationship with Siegfried, and will not leave Siegfried with any reason to start a war.

Because they know that once a large-scale war breaks out, they will absolutely have no way to resist the power of the Holy Sword of God's Wrath.

Under such circumstances, how could they go to the wrong end?

And when no one mentioned this almost well-known thing, the queen's situation seemed very embarrassing.

On the one hand, Theotis really wanted to talk to Siegfried.

It's fine to say anything, maybe she hasn't thought of a topic yet, but she just wants to talk to him.

However, he didn't give her this chance.

He didn't even bother to express his intimacy, he just arranged for her to live in the palace according to the etiquette standard for envoys from a country, and he was extremely polite to her.

Be polite and respectful...

It is impossible to be intimate, even if it is a mother and child, she has never raised Siegfried.

Because at a very young age, he was taken away directly.

And there is no mother-child relationship, so there is no emotional card at all.

Up to now, as the prince of Denmark and Siegfried's half-brother, he can only be thankful that Siegfried is a benevolent monarch.

Although he is powerful, he is not bloodthirsty, and even said something like 'maintain the prosperity of Midgard' at the banquet.

At least, he will never start a war easily, and more importantly, the arrival of King Etzel has also caused a lot of trouble for the Netherlands.

"Mother..." Lothig called out, watching Theotis's obviously lost expression.

Then, he reached out and took his mother's hand.

Theotis' palms are not rough, and both Siegmund and Elf love her very much.

Even, Ai Huo is not willing to let her do heavy work at all, so even though she is in her 40s now, Theotis's skin is maintained like a young girl.

"Losger... Do you think that the queen mother has not been able to be 'fair' at all recently? Maybe... care about him more?"

At this moment, Losger was suddenly stunned.

In fact, he never expected his mother to ask such a question.

But after seeing the forced smile of Theotis, Rothger as a child couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache.

"No, there is no such thing, queen mother, this is very normal. From the perspective of mother, you will naturally feel owed, because..."

He did not go on.

But what exactly Rosger wanted to say, Theotis also understood.

So far, the relationship between her and Siegfried is really only blood, and she has never fulfilled any mother's obligations.

At the same time, with the power of magic, Siegfried's voice spread.

"In my life, there have been two important elders! They both had an extremely profound influence on me."

Just as Siegfried's words echoed, a paleness appeared on Theotis' face.

Chapter 120 Five: The Polished Story

In fact, due to the influence of the gods, the various rituals and customs of Midgard are not meticulous at all, but quite rough.

The enthronement ceremony is the same.

But even if there are not so many rules and regulations, the human culture in the atrium world has been passed down for a long time after all, no matter how you say it, there is a set of general rules.

And the first thing is to describe my own life experience...

These life experiences are naturally told to the common people. On the one hand, it is to do a job of refuting various possible rumors.

On the other hand, the heroic deeds narrated by Siegfried will become the final official version.

Although those bards who like to make troubles are not allowed to add their favorite secondary creations in this regard, in order to prevent interested people from starting from the level of public opinion, an official version is necessary.

He must retell his various deeds at his enthronement ceremony and finalize an official version.

In fact, after this, the Kingdom had to hire a group of bards to revise a few official poems, and then publish an official collection of poems.

In the future, there will be an official version of all Siegfried's deeds—at least the apparent deeds.

At that time, there is no need for me or my cronies to refute the rumors, as long as there is a person who believes in the officialdom and slaps his face with the collection of poetic narratives.

Moreover, there is no need to worry that the poets will make troubles collectively, because Siegfried has no black spots, and using first-hand records to slap his face or something, this kind of thing is inherently refreshing, and no one will refuse.

However, these things have already been planned, and Hagen has arranged everything in an orderly manner, so there is no need to worry about anything.

Compared with these things that need to be considered later, if you directly follow some tacit tradition, there is only one biggest problem facing Siegfried now.

That's 'skin'...

In fact, this narrative of self-deeds is somewhat boastful.

In order to ensure the legitimacy of their dominance, they will promote their deeds as much as possible.

Even, for most young people who inherit the kingdom, this has become a compulsory course.

Not because of anything else, just because they are heirs.

In order to ensure that they are enough to convince the public, they must maximize their names and deeds before becoming kings, and even promote their talents.

This is why a considerable number of people in the royal family are keen on taking risks.

Because they think they have no way to further improve the original political system or people's livelihood, they can only focus on martial arts.

For example, killing monsters, such as slaying a dragon, these are good ways to enhance one's reputation.

Even, if necessary, they would ask the bards inside the palace to secretly revise this narrative for themselves.

To put it simply, it is to find someone to write a speech to brag about, and then recite it by yourself.
