You and me under the world tree

Speaking of which, why did the king of Burgundy visit in person?

Chapter 30: Conflict between Father and Daughter

While drinking the sweet mead slowly, Sifka's expression gradually became gloomy.

At this moment, a trace of uneasiness gradually surfaced in his heart.

In fact, it is not to blame for his suspicion in this regard, because the relationship between the Burgundy Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom has not been very good.

In fact, nearly a year ago, the Gothic Kingdom had a small border conflict with the Burgundian Kingdom.

Of course, this was actually just the lord's private act of war, and in the end the kings of both sides came forward to mediate.

But in fact, because the Gothic Kingdom has always been strong externally, the Burgundy Kingdom has not backed down.

Therefore, there has never been a peaceful treaty between the two kingdoms that tends to be gentle. What's more, because of its vast area and rich land, the Kingdom of Burgundy is also outstanding.

Although they may not be able to compete with the current Goths in terms of cutting-edge combat power, they still have the title of "Twelve Roses Warriors".

Each of them is a strong man in the Kingdom of Burgundy, including Gaernot from the royal family and Gunter who is the king.

Even, in Sivka's eyes, Gunter seemed to have dared to come to the hinterland of the Gothic Kingdom because of his own good martial arts.

Or, he just felt that no matter what, the Gothic Kingdom would not dare to do anything to him.

After all, recently, the Gothic Kingdom's attitude towards the surrounding areas has indeed shown signs of softening, so theoretically speaking, the Gothic Kingdom will never let a king have an accident on its own land.

"Ok?"

However, just when Sifka was thinking that, he discovered something rather strange.

Because on such an extremely important occasion, King Gunter seemed out of his mind.

Theoretically speaking, a slightly smarter person should focus on the surroundings and always pay attention to any abnormalities.

After all, no matter what, the history of the atrium world has long proved that the so-called banquet is a high-risk area.

Many ambitious people make trouble through banquets.

Either make a massacre while drunk, or directly send dead assassins to carry out the assassination at the banquet.

It is even possible to poison the food at the banquet.

In short, in the past, this kind of mess happened a lot, and even the whole family of the king was slaughtered because of this kind of thing.

Therefore, this kind of high-level banquet has always been perilous.

Also because of this reason, traditional royal education should include teaching at the banquet level.

This kind of teaching is not just about keeping the royal family dignified and following some pleasing etiquette.

To be honest, everything about etiquette is empty.

The so-called royal education - from basic necessities of life to behavior, these things contain life-saving wisdom passed down from generation to generation.

For example, how to look at others when looking at each other, and what to do and eat at a lively occasion like a banquet.

But now, Gunther doesn't seem to care about it.

To put it simply, his attention was not actually on the situation around him-basically his brother Gael Nott did it for him.

Perhaps it was because he was used to being lonely all the time. In Sifka's impression, there were basically no good people who had anything to do with the royal family and the throne.

This kind of cognition was formed because of his childhood experience, and Dittmar played a big role in it.

Moreover, because of this cognitive reason, Sifka silently labeled Gunther as stupid.

"You actually let your guard down at this kind of banquet because of a woman."

Following the gaze of the young King of Burgundy, Sifka finally realized who he was looking at.

That's Her Royal Highness the Princess of Iceland...

Although the distance is relatively far, the island kingdom hanging alone on the edge of the atrium finally sent an envoy.

Moreover, His Majesty the King known as the Wise Old Man sent his only daughter: Hilda.

However, Princess Hilda didn't seem to see King Gunter's eager gaze.

Even, for this kind of noisy banquet, she seemed to lack interest, and she didn't even take a few bites of the food.

Compared with these, she seems to be more willing to share her knowledge with the girls around her.

The silver bell-like laughter that comes from time to time constitutes a unique landscape.

After all, although all royal families and even the lord's palace will train shield maidens as bodyguards for personal protection.

However, only Hilda, who will become queen in the future, can take out the shield girl from the deep palace openly.

But having said that, if anyone can win the heart of Hilda on this occasion, does it mean that the Kingdom of Iceland can be incorporated into the country?

Just when Sifka thought of this, he quickly threw those thoughts out of his mind.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the man on the throne.

Dietmar Agnarsen...

After a quick glance at His Majesty, Sifka quickly lowered his head.

Enjoy your birthday party, stupid and cruel king.

Under the table, Sivka's fists were clenched tightly.

I will let you watch everything you have accumulated be destroyed just like you took everything from me.

yes, all...

At this moment, maybe he was completely immersed in the pleasure of his revenge, so Sifka didn't see His Majesty's sight.

King Dietmar...

This man who was already over half a hundred years old had been paying attention to him before, and it is still the same until now.

And after staring at the counselor he brought up with his own hand for a long time, King Dietmar turned his gaze away.

Condescending, his gaze swept across the entire banquet venue.

On the lower right is his child Dietrich, who should have grown up as a girl but is now dressed as a boy through and through.

She holds the mead in her hand with considerable poise, and looks as if she's grown enough to take the throne.

However, she is still a bit young after all.

Thinking of the round of quarrels that broke out with her, King Dittmar inevitably had complicated emotions in his heart.

"Did you make a mistake at the beginning, or was she wrong?"

At this moment, Mehmet's voice lingered in his ears.

At the same time, under Dittmar's sight, those pale arms hugged him so affectionately.

"What do you think?"

"I am right."

Then, King Dietmar responded calmly.

"I think so until now."

The quarrel that broke out with my own child was actually based on the misunderstanding between them.

Dietrich felt that there was nothing wrong with pursuing the victory, but King Dittmar felt that he should stop here.

For this reason, the young Detti felt that her father had become weak, and King Dietmar felt that it was not a good thing for her child to be too tough.

Because at that time, the Valkyrie had already intervened, which meant that the gods had already implicitly expressed their intentions at that time.

If you don't give face, it will cause a lot of trouble to the Gothic Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, he was just worried about this.

But now, some things are beyond his control.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Dittmar looked around at those people in the banquet.

Although the Kingdom of Iceland is far away, Gripal obviously intends to designate an heir, so he will let his daughter come out to see the world.

Needless to say, the Kingdom of Gitland, a kingdom that often produces heroes, has always had a good relationship with them.

Even, they don't need to send any messengers.

In the absence of appeals, they only need to send some gifts, and then let Studus and the great hero Hiltebrand act as agents.

As for the Kingdom of Burgundy, the current King Gunter, like his semi-retired father, was lively and active when he was young.

As for the Kingdom of Denmark, whether it was his generation or Dietrich's generation, they had a lot of conflicts.

So, now the relationship is just like that.

It even involved the grievances of Hiltebrand's generation - because of the all-out war that broke out in the northern peninsula, Gitland's relationship with Norway and Denmark was not very good.

Finally, there is the new Hungarian Empire and the envoys of the Netherlands.

In the end, His Majesty the King of Gitland turned his attention to the far corner.

As the envoy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the man in the dark robe hid everything in that dark robe.

No one approached him, and no one wanted to communicate with him.

Because in terms of identity and experience, he naturally overwhelmed them.

Even, if you have to say it, he is a generation higher than yourself.

However, the man's name cannot be ignored.

"Sage of Volsung..."

Thinking of this title, Dittmar couldn't help feeling helpless.

The man who seemed so easy-going and didn't get angry at being ignored had caused the Gothic Kingdom a lot of trouble.

If you think about it carefully, there is a feud between them to some extent, and it is not small.

Chapter 31: Announcing!

Because the grievances between the Kingdom of Goths and the Kingdom of the Netherlands can be traced back to a long time ago, and even spread to several generations.

So at this moment, King Dietmar stared at the man in black for a long time.

In fact, in this birthday banquet, the way the sage came was also very unique.

He didn't arrive a few days earlier, and he didn't even have any entourage, let alone fanfare.

He just calmly notified the guard at the door, and then delivered a box of jewels in front of King Ditmar.

Then I didn't know where to go, until the banquet started and I came in grandiosely and took a seat.

That's it.

He was always in a black robe, and he didn't look so noticeable.

However, once you notice him, you will find that the plain black robe does not match the glamorous royal families and foreign ministers of various countries around.

Like a black duck mixed with a flock of swans.

Judging from that extremely random behavior, if King Dittmar hadn't known his identity early on, he would have thought that man was one of Siegfried's courtiers.

Even, thinking about it carefully, Dittmar couldn't help but have a subtle guess and thought in his heart:

The reason why the people around did not talk to the black-robed man was that, apart from the sense of isolation and alienation caused by the black-robed man in such a glamorous occasion, the more important thing was that most people might not know his identity.

Taking a closer look at his position, Dittmar can even guess that part of his character still has something to do.

Presumably, even when Siegfried held a banquet to entertain the royal families of various countries, he did not directly participate.

And thinking of this, Dittmar suddenly felt speechless in his heart.

How should I put it, his heart is unavoidably complicated.

Because he had thought about the sage of the Netherlands since he was young, and even constructed many images in his mind.

A ruthless wise man.
