You and me under the world tree

However, there was nothing wrong with his performance.

Even, because he will welcome back his own eldest daughter recently, and his birthday is approaching, he seems to have written joy on his face recently.

In Sifka's impression, whether it was him or the beautiful Ottilia, they both hid the news quite well.

No reason was found...

After thinking of this, Sifka gradually suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

But with his personality, it was impossible for him to completely forget this anxiety.

At the very least, he will remain skeptical until he finds a reason to explain what is happening now.

"Tsk, damn it, what went wrong."

In the study room of his own house, Sifka couldn't help rubbing his temples.

He couldn't help but feel a little headache.

And after the pain in his brain subsided, he took a deep breath.

Relax completely and lean back on the soft leather seat.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to just sleep like this.

Because at this moment, he noticed that he had no way out.

In theory, there's nothing he can do.

Because he shouldn't be doing anything.

If he asked His Majesty the King about this, would Dittmar become suspicious of him?

To be honest, if Sifka is really a loyal courtier to His Majesty, then he doesn't need to think too much here.

Anyway, as long as you move with your heart.

Because he has a clear conscience, he can directly ask His Majesty the King when he feels doubts.

However, he is far from having a clear conscience now.

Even, let alone having a clear conscience, if he hadn't been fully prepared every time, and even used magic to suppress his restless mood, he doubted that he would expose his restless mood in front of that despicable and shameless man.

Angry, restless...

Have everything.

This is an unspeakably complicated mood.

Because until now, there is still a lingering shadow in his heart.

However, after completely calming down and going through all the plans and all the energy so far in his mind, he took a deep breath.

"So be it."

He made up his mind on this, and immediately stood up from the seat.

Then, he left his study directly, and walked all the way to the stables after being greeted by the servants.

"Come on! Drive to the palace! I want to meet His Majesty the King!"

No matter what, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know about it.

He thought very clearly that it was impossible for him not to know about it.

After all, no matter what, he is the palace minister of the Gothic Kingdom. Although he does not monopolize the power, he stands above all the courtiers.

He can handle most of the government affairs, even discuss with His Majesty the King.

Because of this, he should be able to know what is going on in the entire kingdom.

As the palace minister, he has always been conscientious.

In order not to make Dittmar doubt himself, and to make Dittmar appreciate his knowledge and talent, he did his best in everything.

It can be said that he hates Dittmar, but he is worthy of the Gothic Kingdom.

Therefore, in theory, such a he should not turn a blind eye to this.

And when he was quite sure of this, and that nothing had been missed, he called the coachman and rode to the palace in a carriage.

And just like what he did before, before meeting that cruel man, he had to go through all the words he wanted to say in his mind, and he had to make sure he didn't leak anything.

He even simulated the corresponding scene in his mind.

Everything has to be watertight...

With such a mentality, he closed his eyes tightly, and when the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, he finally completely transformed into the palace minister of the Gothic Kingdom.

After that, he didn't stop there any longer, but quickly stepped up the stairs, and then quickly walked into the palace.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" he cried

This preemptive aura immediately dissipated.

Along the way, countless guards cast doubtful eyes on him.

However, at this time, there was no one to stop it.

Not because of anything else, because he is the palace minister, and as we all know, he has always been favored by King Dietmar.

And for a long time, everyone has seen the contribution of this palace minister.

Therefore, these guards did not stop them, but smartly followed them slowly.

For the guards of the palace, they have the most basic obligation, which is to ensure the safety of the palace.

The palace ministers seem to be in a hurry, so they will not stop them, but they must protect possible accidents.

So unknowingly, the guards patrolling around and guarding the city all sent a guard.

But at this moment, the palace minister, who was dedicated to serving Goth, obviously didn't care about this, and he rushed directly into the hall.

In the hall, the white-haired His Majesty the King seemed to be taking a nap on the throne, but after the palace minister stepped into the hall, he opened his room.

What's wrong? "

"Your Majesty, I have received news that Denmark and Burgundy have sent congratulatory teams, and they have now crossed the border and are heading here."

Sifka raised his head to look at the old king, at the same time, his young and handsome face could not help but hang a touch of anxiety.

"Leaving aside things like birthdays, His Majesty is the lord of a country after all, and some news is naturally open to some interested people, but the relationship between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Burgundy and our Goths..."

"It's not good, is it? Of course I know this kind of thing."

Interrupting Sifka's words in a calm tone, His Majesty the King shook his head.

"However, taking advantage of this opportunity, we can also see clearly the current situation in the Gothic Kingdom."

See the situation clearly...

After hearing what King Dietmar said, Sifka's head began to spin rapidly.

Then, he verified a certain fact in his heart.

"Did...you invite me?"

"Naturally, because I myself represent the Gothic kingdom."

Condescending, His Majesty the King's eyes revealed a burst of bloodlust.

At this moment, even Sifka, who had long been accustomed to the sight of the king, couldn't help but feel shuddering.

"From their attitude towards my invitation, we should be able to see their thoughts and mentality at the moment, isn't it?"

Chapter 28: Court Intrigue

At this moment, in front of his palace minister Sifka, His Majesty the King showed the sharpness that he only showed when he was young.

Although it was only for a moment, Sivka felt the inexplicable trembling.

After all, no matter how you say it, he himself is just a think tank and palace minister.

But Dittmar was different.

He was a king, and a man who had been nearly poisoned and fought in dark court battles.

At that time, although the Goths were united in name, the various lords supported themselves.

And Dittmar knocked on their door forcefully through cruel means of war, and even carried out a big change of blood on the upper level, which was considered to be the completion of the unification.

And more importantly, he is the father of 'Prince Dietrich'.

Perhaps it was because Dittmar hadn't shown this too much before, which made Sivka forget this.

Even after meeting Dietrich, he still had doubts about their blood relationship, after all, they were completely different in terms of performance and pressure.

As a result, now, he really realized this.

Although he was old, no one dared to underestimate him when he showed his fangs.

Even, this kind of power precipitated by the years is heavier than Dietrich's oppression.

Finally, after lightly clenching his fists, Sifka saluted.

"Naturally, Your Majesty," he began.

No one can deny this, because the prestige of the Gothic Kingdom is formed by the father and daughter Dietermar and Dietrich.

Dittmar declared that he represented the Gothic Kingdom, and even those lords had no way to refute it.

Because after Angnar was powerless and even lost a lot of territory, Dittmar regained a lot of land through foreign wars.

Even until now, Prince Dietrich is still constantly grabbing benefits through war.

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that we have not concluded any large-scale agreements with Burgundy and the Kingdom of Denmark for a long time, neither in terms of trade nor military."

After connecting the thoughts in his mind, Sifka said slowly.

"You are right, I did overlook this point."

"This is also impossible."

Just after Sifka bit the bullet and bowed his head to admit his fallacy, the king spoke.

The moment King Dietmar spoke, the oppressive feeling disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.

And when Sivka raised his head again, what caught his eyes was the extremely relaxed expression of King Dietmar.

At this moment, there was even a smile on his face, looking like a witty old man.

"You are still young after all, and you still don't understand some things." King Dietmar said

Judging from the tone, he doesn't seem to be mocking anything, but just stating some kind of fact.

"Youth is your weakness, but at the same time it is also your opportunity." King Dietmar continued, "Actually, if you were those old monsters, I wouldn't dare to put you in this position."

Although when he said these words, King Dietmar was smiling.

Moreover, his words were full of trust in the young man Sivka.

But at this time, the young minister of the Gothic Kingdom did not have any joy.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed to be reserved and shy, but his heart was cold.

In fact, he certainly understood what King Dittmar was talking about.

Regardless of his origin and childhood experience, his age is indeed his greatest advantage.

At the same time, this is also the advantage of the Gothic royal family and the Amerungen family.

Because Sifka is talented and young, he does not have any power of his own in the court.

In fact, Dittmar directly promoted Sifka to the position of palace minister, which may not have meant to disturb his own court.

After all, now, because of King Dittmar's long-term rule, his court can be said to be completely divided in terms of camps.

Everyone has their own little calculations, and Dittmar fishes in troubled waters.

For him, this kind of confrontation and division within the palace is naturally a good thing, because only if they don't deal with each other, and as the king, he mediates and suppresses it, can the seemingly bloated palace and various departments work. .

In fact, it would be reassuring for a scheming king that his servants were always at odds with each other, since that at least meant they were at odds with each other.

But the king would only be worried if they were wearing a pair of trousers.

After all, if those courtiers swell up, God knows if they will add up to change a king?
