You and me under the world tree

However, Hiltebrand did not raise any doubts about this matter.

After all, he still knows some inside information.

Although Dietrich didn't tell him these inside stories, it was Studas who couldn't bear it and directly mentioned this, so he knew.

But no matter what, Dietrich did not pursue this point.

When Hiltebrand brought up this matter very seriously, she actually told him the truth.

Therefore, Hiltebrand didn't care much about it.

The person he is loyal to is Dietmar after all, and the reason why he considers Gothic is nothing more than because this kingdom is the kingdom that his friend Dietmar integrated and pushed to its peak.

Based on this, he has been doing his best to consider Dietrich from the very beginning.

Want to stabilize her rule...

This has not changed even now.

However, from the standpoint of a teacher, he didn't want Dietrich to bear too much pressure and trouble.

And more importantly, Hiltebrand also understood the thoughts of his friend and master.

At the beginning, even though he had a quarrel with his daughter, even if Dietrich finally decided to take root directly in the city of Beian and not return to Ravenna, he still sent Hiltebrand to assist her.

Who doesn't love their daughter?

Didn't King Dietmar's tough attitude at the beginning also hope that his daughter would not show her edge too much to attract attention?

In fact, Hiltebrand didn't know much about Dietrich's real life experience.

His understanding of the situation is actually similar to that of Ottilia as the queen, but he feels that even if it is a 'natural hero' forged by magic, it should not attract too much attention from others.

Considering this point, in the previous war with the Netherlands, Dietrich, who confronted the Valkyrie, was indeed a bit out of line.

That's what he did, using wrong information to deduce the right result.

He knew that Dittmar actually attached great importance to his daughter, so Hiltebrand expressed his support in this regard.

As the former royal family of Gitland, His Royal Highness the Invincible Brave didn't stay here because he had a sense of belonging to the Gothic kingdom.

After all, it was his friend who really gave him a sense of belonging: the Gothic king Dietmar.

Perhaps, many people have forgotten that Hiltebrand is actually a libertine, and the only thing that can give him a sense of belonging is the friendship he once had.

And because of this friendship, he naturally treated Dittmar's daughter as his own.

Compared to Dietrich, what's the matter with that bastard who bears the title of prince but has the blood of an adulterer in his body?

If it wasn't for the moral sense still in his heart, if he didn't feel that this one-year-old child was too young and had no right to choose his life, he would have raised his knife and killed that guy long ago.

In short, the current Hiltebrand has two identities.

The first is Dietrich's uncle.

From this standpoint, he is willing to support Dietrich in all her decisions, even if she ends up going far away, it doesn't matter.

Because he saw with his own eyes that this child gave up the happy childhood and power that he should have had for the kingdom, and watched her lock her truest self under the armor.

The second is Dittmar's best friend.

Considering this, he actually wants to make some efforts.

Because he once witnessed the complete rise and prosperity of this kingdom under the leadership of his best friend. For Dittmar, this kingdom is the brainchild of his life.

Therefore, he still hoped that Dietrich could inherit the kingdom.

Not to mention going further, but at least keep the prosperity that Dittmar once wanted to seize.

And it was in this conflicted mood that the Invincible Brave Lord finally accepted Dietrich's entrustment.

…………

In the end, a piece of news that shocked everyone came out of Bei'an City.

After experiencing a series of events, Her Royal Highness Princess Dietrich deeply felt her own inadequacy.

As the heir of the Gothic Kingdom, she feels that she still has something to polish, so she will temporarily leave Bean City and start traveling in Midgard again as an adventurer.

In order not to collapse the order of Bean City, she will temporarily entrust all power to the respected and undefeated brave Hiltebrand.

Although he is over half a hundred years old and has reached Ershun's age, his body is very strong.

More importantly, he has already won the respect of the former King Ditmar and Dietrich with his long years and companionship.

For him, Dietrich was extremely relieved.

And under the diffusion of those who cared, the news quickly spread throughout the Gothic Kingdom, and it didn't even take long for word of mouth to spread throughout most of the atrium world along with the caravans coming and going and the soldiers fighting on the border.

And when this news came out, almost everyone was puzzled by it.

Because now is clearly the critical moment.

The "orthodox forces" she represents have not completely digested the surrendered territories, and without her suppression, a series of problems may arise.

What's more, she still hasn't made peace with Denmark. As for Burgundy on the other side, it's just scared off by Her Royal Highness's strong fighting power and strength.

It can be said that the situation and safety of the entire Gothic Kingdom now depend entirely on Dietrich Dietermadottir alone!

The result is like this, but she wants to leave as the person involved?

"Is this woman crazy?"

"It seems that the news of her father's death has driven her completely crazy, and she didn't even take the most basic revenge."

Accompanied by such news, all the contradictions and focuses converge on Dietrich, who is the central character.

Everyone—including Studus, who was still at the border, was guessing what Her Royal Highness was thinking, but in the end, Studus found that he couldn't guess.

So in the end, he just scratched his hair.

"Forget it, do whatever your Highness wants, it's time to go out and relax."

Putting aside the document appointing him full command of the border army in his hand, Studus took a deep breath.

At the same time, in the royal courtyard in the City of Wrath, Siegfried just stared at the letter sent back by the scouts with a strange expression:

"No... what is this thing?"

Then, he scratched his head.

"It was agreed to unite and give the surrounding kingdoms a ruthless blow? I'm still waiting to find a reason to fight it out. That's not what was agreed at the beginning."

Then, later on, he thought he had noticed something.

"Ah, that's not right... Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness's deterrent power is too strong. Maybe only when he's not around, will the surrounding kingdoms have those petty thoughts."

Chapter 28: This is Mercy Already

However, the general situation of the kingdom will not change qualitatively because of the departure of one or two people - at least not now.

Even though Dietrich herself was the absolute core of the territory she ruled and the forces she integrated, Hiltebrand also possessed a very high reputation.

Maybe it's because Hiltebrand has always been known for his martial arts, plus he has the title of 'Master of Weapons'.

Therefore, most people's impression of this undefeated Gothic hero has always been the image of a macho man carrying at least eighteen kinds of weapons.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this image in fact, because Hiltebrand did often show people this image when he was young.

At that time, in order to deal with various battle situations, he always had to carry various weapons on his body.

They carry everything from spears to small knives.

Moreover, in order to use these weapons proficiently, he has been practicing the use of these weapons.

When he was extremely young, Hiltebrand always believed that every weapon had its own strengths, and it was at this time that his title of 'Weapon Master' gradually became famous.

Then at some point, perhaps because of a gradual decline in physical strength, or perhaps because not all circumstances allowed him to carry a large number of weapons on his body.

He simplified the complexity and finally defined himself as the commander on the battlefield.

He unloaded all kinds of heavy weapons, and finally only carried the Invincible Demon Sword given by his friend Dietmar.

This is what he looks like now.

Holding the invincible magic sword in his hand, he is proficient in the use of various weapons.

Also because of this reason, let alone holding a magic sword, even an ordinary sword can repel those young heroes who claim to have honed their martial arts to the extreme.

Both the current Wittig and Studas are 'victims', because Hiltebrand has no weaknesses at all in terms of martial arts.

However, it seems that because of this, the people of the Gothic Kingdom are used to positioning this Brave Lord as a powerful warrior.

Even though he is almost 60 years old like the dead King Dietmar, they still think that his fighting power has not declined.

Moreover, perhaps because of this cognitive problem that has been formed long ago, people who are used to positioning Hiltebrand as a pure warrior seem to have forgotten that he is not a Gothic person in the first place.

At first, he was just an ordinary warrior who traveled to Goth as an adventurer.

For the people of the Gothic Kingdom, because they have always been used to praising Hiltebrand's identity as a "Gothic brave", they have always been used to ignoring his identity before he came to Gothic.

But if you push it further, he himself is indeed a member of the royal family who came out of Gitland.

Although he is not the kind of heir who can be ranked first, he himself has indeed received a complete royal education.

Although this is not prepared for him to inherit the kingdom, as a royal family, he can still inherit a territory.

That's it……

In fact, if it weren't for Hiltebrand himself not interested in any political power, but only keen on taking risks, he should also be a lord now.

For him, it is also very easy for him to take charge of Gothic government affairs on behalf of Her Royal Highness Princess who is going out temporarily.

Therefore, even if Dietrich had completely left Bei'an City, he could use his prestige and the government orders of Her Royal Highness to manage the entire territory in an orderly manner.

In fact, apart from those newly conquered territories that are easy to make troubles, the only thing he needs to worry about is Her Royal Highness who is running around outside.

He once accompanied the young princess on a tour of the atrium world, and he did not return to the Gothic court until she decided to go to the kingdom of giants alone.

Therefore, he is still very clear about some things about Dietrich.

For example, she is actually not the kind of person who is very good at cooking.

Although it has not reached the level that cannot be eaten, it must be extremely reluctant to say 'delicious'.

Under such circumstances, can she accept the contrast in food in the wild?

Of course, he who is stationed in the palace of Bei'an City at this moment obviously would not have thought that at this time, the child he cared about as his own daughter is actually doing well in the wild.

…………

At this moment, in a jungle in the Gothic Kingdom, the white-haired girl in simple and light leather clothes just stared at the campfire in front of her.

But to be precise, her eyes had actually stayed on the vegetable porridge stewed on the campfire.

Accompanied by the rich but not greasy aroma, the corners of her mouth raised involuntarily.

It has nothing to do with mood or anything, it's just an instinctive reaction.

When she smelled the aroma from the vegetable porridge, she felt her stomach pouch awakened.

Even at this moment, she has such a feeling.

She doesn't want to eat because she's hungry, she's hungry because the food is in front of her.

After inexplicably confusing the cause and effect, she reached out to touch the spoon on the pot.

But at this moment, a hand stretched out and slapped her away.

"..."

"It's not cooked yet."

Facing Dietrich's inexplicably resentful expression, the porridge man responded calmly.

"Obviously..." she muttered.

"It has to be cooked a little more, after all, we are not the only ones to drink this porridge."

Having said that, Huo De pointed to the little guy who was placed on the ground by him and was sleeping soundly in the swaddling baby.

Dieter Heil...

"You obviously brought this guy out of the palace, but you always forget him every time."

"It can't be helped, I have never taken care of children."
