You and me under the world tree

But in Elmrich's eyes, these things didn't matter at all.

He didn't even care what his guards thought, nor did he pursue his gaffes and stupidity.

"Anyway, Dittmar is dead, and Hiltebrand will return to Beian without any accidents, so instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about how to put out the fire."

"..."

Just when Elmrich said that, the guard had already set his sights on the burning palace.

At this moment, the fire is still soaring into the sky, and the palpitating fire is like a beast that chooses to eat people.

"I'm afraid this fire will not be extinguished for a while."

"Ah."

Elmrich ignored the guard again.

Of course he understood it.

But one thing is especially important right now.

"We must bring out the body of the false king."

In fact, at this time, Elmrich was actually a little restless.

For some reason, he always thought of his brother Dittmar.

There seemed to be something wrong with that old man's expression at the last moment?

Perhaps it is because for Elmrich, the name Dittmar itself has a special meaning.

So at this moment, he couldn't stop thinking about this aspect.

Dittmar, that man is insane in terms of behavior.

But at the last moment, Elmrich clearly remembered that when he put the long sword into his chest, there was no unwillingness on his face.

Some seemed to have only a hint of relief.

"hiss……"

When thinking of this, Elmrich couldn't help taking a breath.

In this kind of belated situation, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have stepped into a certain trap.

It is obvious that King Dietmar is dead, no matter what, the Gothic Kingdom is doomed to split, and he can be regarded as upright.

Moreover, the assistance of the royal families of the surrounding kingdoms also means that they are already tied to a rope.

But what went wrong?

Just when Elmrich thought of this, he couldn't help turning his attention to those people around him.

Except for the guards and the one-armed palace minister who is still in a coma, the rest are the courtiers and nobles and the royal envoys from various countries.

After a little hesitation, Elmrich still stepped forward.

"I'm very sorry, everyone, I let you see a somewhat embarrassing scene. There has been such a big scandal within the kingdom..."

At this time, Elmrich's posture was already low enough.

In addition, they had the experience of fighting side by side before, so the envoys from other kingdoms didn't say much.

"Okay, Your Excellency Elmrich, you don't need to explain much." At this time, King Gunter of Burgundy said.

The young man seemed to be advancing and retreating in a controlled manner, extremely calm.

Moreover, just by looking at his smile, those who didn't know would think that Burgundy and the Gothic Kingdom have a good covenant relationship.

If you just look at this kind of scene, probably no one knows that there have been several rounds of struggle between Burgundy and Gothic.

"Compared to us, there are many other things in front of you now. Presumably, the entire Gothic Kingdom needs you to preside over the overall situation."

In this way, Elmrich communicated with the envoys of those other kingdoms as a lord.

Burgundy, Denmark, Norway...

At this moment, the only one who remained and did not participate was Her Royal Highness the Princess of Iceland.

"Your Highness..." At this moment, the shield maiden called in Hilda's ear.

She probably wanted to say something, but in the end, Hilda shook her head.

"Let's go."

In the midst of this fire, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Iceland just left.

She didn't even want to give those people face.

Because the big people over there who are called greetings but are actually dividing up the benefits make her feel sick.

But at the same time, she also naturally attracted the attention of others.

After all, she is the princess of Iceland, and her every move will naturally attract the attention of others.

"Your Highness Hilda!"

Chapter 58: Rejected Adoration

At this time, there is only one person who can stop Hilda: King Gunter of Burgundy.

This is normal, after all, the Kingdom of Iceland is too far away from the Gothic Kingdom, and there are at least three kingdoms in between.

So no matter what, she just came here for a cutscene, to see the world.

Therefore, when discussing transactions related to the Gothic Kingdom in the name of pleasantries, they will exclude the Kingdom of Iceland intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, the island kingdom at the end of the human world is really far away. Whether it is Hilda, the heir or not, the Icelandic envoy should know that he should not interfere.

Moreover, even if you take a step back, people including the neighboring kingdoms of Denmark and Burgundy do not want Iceland to intervene.

Therefore, the two sides maintained this tacit understanding.

In the previous court melee, Iceland has been staying out of the matter and has not favored anyone.

While talking about interests, Her Royal Highness, the heir and only Princess of Iceland, just watched the fire and the burning palace.

She does not participate in the rebellion and does not divide the cake, that is her attitude.

However, after all, someone here cared about her.

Moreover, theoretically speaking, this has nothing to do with interests or anything, it's just because of pure love.

Although Gunter, the king of Burgundy, is now a king, he is only a young man after all.

He is only in his 20s, although in order to sit in that seat, he has tried his best to polish his mentality and make himself calmer.

But no matter how hard it is polished, that kind of vigor is always lingering.

In terms of marriage and relationship, he also has full initiative.

On the one hand, it is because he is the king, and on the other hand, Burgundy's little life is really quite good.

Although this kingdom borders the Netherlands and Gothic at the same time, and was beaten into a dog decades ago, overall it still maintains prosperity.

And more importantly, Burgundy has not had any major conflicts with the Netherlands and Goths so far.

Although there were many conflicts with the legendary victorious prince Dietrich, the Gothic prince who disguised himself as a man has long since lost his reputation.

Gothic split has become inevitable.

In the face of such a big cake, it doesn’t matter whether it can be full, but Burgundy can definitely eat a mouthful of cream.

Under such circumstances, as the king of Burgundy, Gunter naturally had a lot of freedom in marriage.

At least, he can pursue the girl he likes at will.

Not to mention, in terms of status, the princess of Iceland is also on par with him.

"Your Highness Hilda!"

With a mentality close to being courteous, Gunter came to the front of Her Royal Highness who was guarded by the shield maidens.

And out of politeness and upbringing, Hilda did not lose face.

She stopped directly, and then subconsciously put her arms around her chest.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty the King?"

"Just call me Gunther."

Facing Hilda's gaze, Gunter looked cheerful.

Obviously, he wanted to get closer by addressing matters.

And if it was someone else, maybe they would call it that according to what the other person meant.

But Hilda would not do that.

On the one hand, it is because the current Kingdom of Iceland does not need to act according to the colors of other people. Because of its own geographical location, there are actually only two kingdoms that can effectively threaten it.

One is Norway - although Norway still maintains an alliance with Iceland.

Although there is an intention to be in harmony with the outside world, at least it has not torn face on the bright side, and Her Royal Highness the Princess of Norway has also lived in the Icelandic court for a long time in the name of visiting.

The other is the Netherlands.

Theoretically, the newly recovered but extremely powerful Kingdom of the Netherlands is a potential threat to any surrounding kingdoms.

However, this is not the case for Iceland.

Even if we don't talk about the relationship between the two heirs behind the scenes, just on the surface, the old king of Iceland, Whisper Gripal, chose to invest as early as the moment Siegfried announced his return.

When Siegfried occupied the land in the north and confronted the Hunting family in the south at that time, Gripper and Siegfried entered into a business agreement.

The island kingdom in the far north is thus indifferent to the world, and communication with the heartland of Midgard seems to be limited to commerce.

And because of this, as the future successor, Hilda has no need to please others.

"After all, I am only meeting you for the second time, Your Majesty the King."

He didn't follow Gunter's wish to use any kind of address, Hilda just said calmly.

This is already a kind of polite refusal, and anyone who wants to save face will probably feel in a dilemma.

However, Gunter didn't seem to hear it.

To be precise, it was not that he was unaware of the alienating intention in Hilda's words.

He just doesn't want to give up.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I will be familiar with it in the future."

"Then let's talk about it later." Hilda said.

She didn't even look at King Gunter much.

At this time, she just looked up at the sky.

"It's getting late, and to be honest, I'm really disappointed today."

"what……"

In the end, Hilda took a very casual step and left with her maid guard.

There was no sloppiness or hesitation in her movements.

To put it bluntly, she really just wanted to leave.

At the same time, she did not give Gunther any chance to stay.

His Majesty the King of Burgundy could only keep those words of persuasion in his heart.

Watching Hilda's back, he took a few deep breaths, and finally he couldn't help showing a wry smile:

"Shouldn't you stay a little longer?"

That's what he meant to say.

But now that I think about it carefully, this kind of retaining words is too stupid, because any woman with a little brain would not accept this kind of request—unless she herself has the willingness to do so.

But does Hilda have it?

Obviously, she didn't.

Although Gunter didn't know whether she had a sweetheart, he was very clear that she didn't have any superfluous affection for him.
