You and me under the world tree

This is indeed the case.

In any case, for a young man like him, the so-called admiration naturally does not arouse resentment.

In fact, on the contrary, even if he doesn't show that kind of happiness on his face, Siegfried will always feel secretly happy in his heart.

"I just feel that my feelings seem to be no longer my own private affairs." He said.

To put it bluntly, this is what made him feel extremely concerned.

"As I said before, those smart people in the court are actually nothing, because as long as I express my displeasure with it, they will not easily talk about it, but other places are different, especially It's the business of other kingdoms."

"uh-huh?"

"Recently, I don't know if it was an appointment. Some things that happened made me feel restless."

Hearing this, Hodder was not too surprised.

"Is it something about the Kingdom of Burgundy? When I came back, I heard that their princess came to visit."

"Yes, although it is nominally visiting and signing a trade treaty by the way, secretly..."

"People are watching you, aren't they?"

Siegfried was speechless at this.

"This statement is a bit strange..."

"But it's true, you are the girl's dream girl now."

Then Hodder laughed.

"Actually, this is not something worth worrying about. You are a well-known hero in the entire Midgard, and you have a handsome appearance inherited from your parents. It is normal to be admired."

Not to mention other things, Siegfried's status was also at the top at that time.

"You are already the lord of a country, and more importantly, you have a unique legendary color. It is completely different from the King Gunter of Burgundy, who inherited the throne from his parents. Your kingdom was acquired and rebuilt by practical warfare. It fits the traditional definition of a 'hero'."

"Uncle, you better stop talking."

At the moment, Siegfried didn't feel any joy.

Instead, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

In fact, if it was someone else's compliment, he reckoned that he would have accepted it so calmly.

But Hodder was different.

Compared with him, Siegfried felt that no matter how much he did, it was not enough.

"It was uncle who guided me to this step." He said.

Then, he shook his head and skipped the subject directly.

"Anyway, that woman...Krimhild behaved strangely."

"uh-huh?"

"She was so enthusiastic."

"It's just a handsome guy's trouble."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, you continue."

"In short, her performance made me feel very uncomfortable."

Chapter 26: Fiery Krimhild

In fact, in Huo De's view, the current Siegfried has a kind of performance of "being in the blessing but not knowing the blessing".

Just like what he casually complained about before, this is obviously a trouble only for handsome guys.

Because of his high status, being a well-known hero, and his good looks, it is normal for suitors to be more proactive.

This is pure personal charm, which cannot be envied by others.

However, it's normal to feel sore or something.

After all, this kind of excellence is really too dazzling, so dazzling that male compatriots will feel at a loss.

Of course, Hodder is the same.

how to say?

Although he was far from being jealous, and this feeling could not even be called 'discomfort', it still felt a little strange.

And with this strange feeling, Hodder just listened to Siegfried's 'distress'.

"How should I put it, before she invited me to go out together, out of politeness, I finally agreed, but at that time, she kept trying to lean on me."

Opening Lightning Strike!

Siegfried's first sentence made Hodder feel a strong shock.

Even at this time, Hodder even wanted to reach out and rub his temples.

But the moment he stretched out his hand, he touched his helmet.

'clang'

Accompanied by the crisp metal sound, his fingers just poked the helmet.

At this moment, the voice naturally attracted Siegfried's attention, so he couldn't help casting a puzzled look at Hodder.

"uncle?"

"It's nothing, go on."

"In short, although she seems to be very weak and will make a fuss when encountering little things, but this image of a boudoir princess who seems to be ignorant of the world obviously only exists in the fiction of poets who don't understand the royal family at all."

When talking about these, Siegfried's tone clearly revealed a hint of disdain.

"Uncle, you also once said that the orthodox royal family education is very comprehensive, including not only etiquette and cultural courses, but also education in martial arts."

"Ah... um."

At this moment, Hodder just coughed lightly.

He always felt a little strange.

Although he didn't like to speak for Krimhild, Siegfried's 'basis' did have some problems.

As an uncle, as his teacher, he felt it was necessary to point this out.

"The education of the royal family is divided into classes, Siegfried, and the degree of tightness is also related to the status to a certain extent. For example, the eldest son... or the kind of special gifted children, they will focus on training, and even strictly demand, Teach everything and try to be perfect, but there are also quite a few characters who have been abandoned."

Then Hodder paused for a moment.

He took a deep breath, and during this time of deep breathing, he also sorted out his sentences.

"About being abandoned, you should also be very clear about this kind of thing, because you have seen such people before. They are generally not the heirs of the kingdom, and their hearts are not on the throne."

"Uh……"

"In this case, princes who don't like being bound in the court will like to travel and take risks. As for princesses, they are often used for marriage."

"what……"

Perhaps because he didn't realize that his uncle would suddenly jump out to confront him at this moment, Siegfried couldn't help showing a trace of bewilderment on his face.

But soon, his thoughts followed Hodder's words and thought of two people.

"Indeed, I have seen it. For example, Studas or Princess Nanna of Norway are typical representatives, but I heard from Hilda that Nanna has started to study hard recently."

"Ok?"

When Siegfried casually mentioned the news about Nanna, Huode was taken aback for a moment.

Has the girl started studying?

Subconsciously, he wanted to ask questions about this, but soon, he swallowed the words back.

Because this kind of thing is not important now, even if he is curious, it is only temporary.

"Well, so the reason you mentioned is not actually a basis."

After coughing lightly, Hodder emphasized this point again.

"Have you discovered anything else?"

All of a sudden, Siegfried suddenly you have a unique feeling of 'dream back to the age of adventure'.

At this moment, he doesn't seem to be some kind of king, but just a fledgling adventurer, and the uncle in front of him is still... well, he is still an uncle and his teacher.

This has not changed from beginning to end.

However, there was an inexplicable feeling of nostalgia in his heart.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have let go of that dull mood completely, and then laughed again.

"Think about it carefully, uncle, it seems that you haven't tested my observation ability for a long time."

At this moment, His Majesty the King of the Netherlands was not in a hurry to answer Hodder's question, he just sighed.

"I always feel that time seems to pass quickly, but very slowly."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly had such an illusion."

"Ok?"

"I'm not a king yet, I just walked out of that little blacksmith's shop."

"Normal, it's only been a few years now."

"But I feel that it is very long. After all, everything is over now. I am no longer an apprentice blacksmith, but a king who has experienced wars."

"Normal, after all, it has been several years."

Immediately afterwards, no one spoke, and what lingered here was just a slightly strange silence.

At the end, Siegfried laughed, suddenly very happy.

All the pressure seems to be completely released at this moment.

"In short, Krimhild's weakness is indeed pretending. I am a warrior, so I can tell that her footsteps are steady and powerful, and her behavior and reaction are definitely not like a weak woman."

"So you want to say that that woman is just pretending to be weak in front of you?"

"Yes, that's right."

Are we really talking about so-called troublesome problems?

Although he already had a premonition about this matter, but after he really confirmed it from Siegfried, he always felt that he couldn't vomit out the old trough in his heart.

This feeling is as if he heard from Siegmund about the young lady throwing herself into her arms.

how to say?

This kind of thing seems to be quite common for the people of the Volsung family.

"If it's an ordinary person, she might be happy to see you in this situation. After all, from another perspective, this is because she wants to show her 'girly' side in front of you. I guess she's still being barked." The romantic tales that poets make up are off the mark."

"Maybe, but... I don't like that, it's a bit fake, and more importantly, she has a very different look in her eyes."

In the end, Siegfried couldn't help closing his eyes, as if he was remembering something.

"I have seen the eyes of many admirers, no matter men or women, there is a certain sense of distance in their eyes, because what they admire is the hero and king who seems to be omnipotent. For them, 'Zig 'Fly' is a symbol."

"This is the emotion that the people of the Netherlands will have, because you have brought them a good life and real peace."

"Yes, but Krimhild, that woman's eyes are different."

"for example?"

"Her eyes are very hot..."

"?"

"The look in her eyes made me very uncomfortable."

At this moment, Siegfried didn't notice the increasingly subtle look in his uncle's eyes, he just continued to narrate calmly.

"That's very different from 'admiration' or something, I can see a strong possessiveness, as if I'm in her pocket."
