You and me under the world tree

Under Hodder's reminder, Siegfried quickly changed the topic back.

"In short, the Kingdom of Burgundy remains relatively peaceful, and Krimhild doesn't look like the kind of warrior who has experienced many battles. Her palms don't even have many calluses, so I don't think she treats me What's the threat?"

In the end, just when Siegfried came to such a conclusion, his keen intuition suddenly noticed his uncle's slightly complicated sight.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that your family is the same, and you only think about fighting when you do things."

And after being "poked" by Huo De indifferently, Siegfried couldn't help but scratched his head with his hand.

"So……"

"I've become a king, why the first reaction is to fight and kill."

"what……"

"Listen, the 'danger' I'm talking about is not her performance. A woman's 'weapon' is not just the weapon in her hand."

"Then uncle, what you said is..."

"Her character performance."

"..."

"She's used to being stared at, even admired. She likes fancy clothes. For her, she seems to be used to having everything she likes in her hands, even you."

"Krimhild she..."

"Such a woman is the most troublesome, and this kind of emotion is also troublesome to death. In the end, this is not a matter of admiration or love, but just for the sake of being competitive."

Facing what Hodder said, Siegfried did not show any surprise.

Maybe somewhere in the bottom of his heart, he already had such a premonition about it.

"So, uncle, I have considered whether to talk to her frankly before, before I..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Hagen's voice came from the entrance of the garden.

"His Highness Krimhild is here to visit you!"

After hearing Hagen's words, Siegfried couldn't help reaching out and patting his forehead.

"Okay, people have arrived."

He just looked at Hodder like this, and after that, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Uncle, what do you think I should do?"

Seeing Siegfried's wry smile, Huo De couldn't help shaking his head.

To be honest, Siegfried is of course a very normal man.

For beautiful things, he will appreciate them, and at the same time, because of that "appreciation" for beautiful things, he will definitely have a good impression in his heart.

However, even if there is a good impression, when the timing and the occasion are not right, this good feeling will wear off.

That's it for now.

Perhaps for ordinary people, most people will always have fantasies about the fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is famous for her beauty, comes to visit on her own initiative, but Siegfried will only find it troublesome.

And putting aside various other overall reasons, the most important thing is: he already has a sweetheart.

Although the first meeting might not be pleasant, but in the unknowingly getting along, the girl who grew up facing the extreme northern sea breeze gradually took a firm place in his heart.

Together they headed to the northern seas and attacked the Amstel harbor together.

Although people outside were not aware of this matter, the girl really helped a lot before Siegfried's staff team headed by Hagen was formed.

This kind of intimacy is completely different from the kind of goodwill derived from appearance.

Because the latter is nothing more than a man's instinct to put it bluntly, that is, greedy for the body.

Krimhild's beauty and behavior can easily arouse the imagination of most men, and her beauty is naturally amazing.

However, this momentary excitement and amazement is nothing compared to the friendship tempered by the flames of war.

If there is a collision, the former will be easily crushed.

After all, in the heart of Siegfried now, Krimhild, who is only known for her beauty, is not even qualified to 'enter the game'.

Not to mention comparisons, she doesn't even have enough capital to stand on Siegfried's emotional scale.

However, he couldn't refuse her sternly.

That's the biggest problem.

Even though he sometimes looks stupid, even being called a "roe deer" by his uncle countless times, he has a keen intuition on emotional issues.

Because of the identities and statuses of both parties, this is no longer a simple 'feeling'.

"Tell me about your recent performance first."

After thinking for a moment, he said.

"There is no rush, let her wait for a while."

Chapter 29: Calculation

In the end, Hagen, who came to report, was sent away.

As far as the court ministers of the Netherlands are concerned, he is used to this kind of thing.

After all, from the beginning to the present, as long as Krimhild came to visit, Siegfried would never agree to the appointment immediately.

At the beginning, he really had something to deal with, after all, the government affairs at hand had not been finished.

But in the end, he was just making excuses.

Because he couldn't express the uneasiness and helplessness on his face, the meeting between him and Krimhild was not just a meeting between a young man and woman, but also a meeting between the Kingdom of Burgundy and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 'diplomatic'.

But the current Kingdom of the Netherlands cannot have any stains, and it cannot give people, or even those high gods, an excuse to interfere, so Siegfried, as the king, must maintain a good attitude.

Therefore, he needs to brew, and sometimes even needs to prepare his own dialogue process.

These all need to be prepared.

What Hagen needs to do is to arrange for the visiting princess to wait for a while, and serve tea and pastries, so that Siegfried will have enough time to buffer and not turn dark.

"I'm actually quite curious, how long Krimhild can wait."

Watching Hagen trotting all the way, Hodder couldn't help but speak.

After hearing this question, Siegfried couldn't help but smile wryly.

He shook his head.

"I don't know, and I dare not ask, let alone try."

"Normal, after all, there is no way to test this kind of thing at will."

Facing Siegfried's helpless expression, Hodder just sighed.

The so-called "bottom line" or something, this kind of thing is the most difficult to test.

If it is not necessary, even Hodder is not willing to trample on it casually.

Only guys like Loki and Hela who seem uncomfortable when they don't want to die like to jump on other people's bottom line.

And more importantly, this is not something related to covenants or interests.

At least this is not a pure interest, even if it is linked to interests, but judging from Krimhild's performance, it is covered with a layer of 'emotional' cloak.

Emotions are, after all, complicated.

It is said to be small, because it is just a mood and personal tendency. If it is completely suppressed, it will not affect any pattern at all.

But it's big and big, and if you can't control it a little bit, it may set off monstrous waves.

So it's better to be cautious.

Thinking of this, Hodder coughed lightly:

"First question first, how long has she lived here?"

"Half a month. In fact, uncle, she came not long after you took away the Holy Sword of God's Wrath."

Half a month...

That is, when I left the Netherlands and went to the peak of Schindal?

Carefully checking the time in this aspect, Hodd's face under the helmet could not help showing a touch of surprise.

"Tsk, speaking of which, I remember that Krimhild was the 'candidate' recommended to you by the Valkyrie?"

"Ah."

At this moment, Huo De's sudden words made Siegfried frown.

"Yes, actually because of that, I don't think I'll ever like that woman."

Krimhild is a beautiful woman after all, and more importantly, she has studied her clothes carefully and knows how to show her charm to the maximum.

It is actually very difficult to resist such charm, or even turn a blind eye to the passionate admiration she shows.

Even Huo De can't guarantee whether his silly roe deer will be completely attracted to her, and the defense line in his heart has never been so easy to hold on.

But fortunately, Siegfried himself seems to have found a benchmark to resist that kind of charm.

At least there is no need for Hodder to remind him of the 'dangerousness' of Krimhild several times.

"She is dangerous, not by force, but by her identity and performance."

Facing Siegfried's gaze, Hodder emphasized this point again.

Then, he paused for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"So, how many times has she looked for you in the past half month?"

"That's a lot. At the beginning, she dangled in front of my eyes every day. Later, after I expressed my intention to be busy with work, she gradually reduced the number of visits..."

"how many times?"

"Seven or eight times..."

"It's amazing. She comes to the palace once every two days on average, and I guess she hasn't concealed her whereabouts. No wonder the folks started to spread the word."

"Ok?"

At this moment, Siegfried didn't care about Hodder's slightly eccentric tone.

After all, he knew that his uncle had such a personality.

Sometimes it is cold and barbed.

Anyway, he was not satirizing himself, was he?

At this moment, he only cares about one thing.

"What's the folklore?"

"They all said that Her Royal Highness, the beautiful princess of Burgundy, is very likely to become the queen of the Netherlands."

"..."

In fact, Siegfried, as the king, had expected this.

Because when Krimhild visited him as an envoy from Burgundy, he had a premonition of this.

Although Klimhild wore the coat of 'messenger', she was the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Burgundy after all, and the name of her beauty even spread to the Netherlands.

“People just like to hear about this kind of stuff.”

After a moment of silence, Siegfried shook his head involuntarily.

"Beauty with a hero or something, this kind of story can always go well with wine."

However, the fact that the public likes to hear and see does not mean that the parties concerned are willing to do so.

"In fact, news about this has been circulating for a long time. If you don't know, it's probably because Hagen blocked all these rumors outside the palace."

"Hagen..."

After rubbing his temples a little, Siegfried finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
