You and me under the world tree

But it is undeniable that his court and his staff have undergone major changes, and most of them are new recruits.

So where did these well-trained maids come from?

After picking up the tea and taking a sip, Krimhild couldn't help but take a breath.

"Well, thank you very much."

Facing the maids who bent over to salute, she smiled.

At this moment, even Krimhild didn't notice that the moment the maid who brought her tea, water, and even elaborate pastries bent over and turned around, there was a wave of emotion on her face. Disgust not going.

I'm afraid Krimhild would never have imagined in his dreams that most of the walking maids in Siegfried's court were 'gifts' from the King of Iceland.

The older ones, even the elderly, were in charge of teaching the little girls, and these young girls were sisters to the princesses of Iceland, and many of them were shield maidens who could hold weapons.

They have always known the relationship between His Majesty the King they are serving now and His Highness Hilda, so of course they will not give a good face to Krimhild's sudden intrusion.

"Tsk, shameless."

After gently closing the door, she couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

Chapter 31: Are you scared?

Not to mention her purpose, at least in terms of behavior, the Burgundian princess in the coat of 'messenger' is aboveboard.

With her personality, she certainly doesn't feel ashamed about such things.

So every time she comes to visit Siegfried, she never hides it.

It is also for this reason that not only people in the palace know about her matters, but even the people have already known part of them under deliberate operations.

Rumors have already started to spread, and the topic of 'heroes match beauties' has always been highly discussed, so the speed of spread is self-evident.

In half a month, not to mention the fact that everyone knew about it, but this level of scandal has at least become the talk of the residents of Skywrath City and several surrounding cities.

Even if Hagen wanted to suppress it, he couldn't do it.

So naturally, there will be people inside the court who know some things outside.

For example, the maids around Siegfried are like this.

Under the advice and persuasion of the palace minister Hagen, the discerning maid would certainly not trouble or embarrass His Majesty the King.

So they turned a blind eye to the folk rumors.

To put it simply, if Siegfried, as the master, did not ask, then they would never take the initiative to bring up this matter.

As for asking questions, that's another matter.

However, even if they remain silent about this, it does not mean that they do not have any views and opinions.

In their eyes, His Majesty the King has declined the other party many times, and the maids also know that his heart is for Princess Hilda, but Krimhild is still on the offensive, which inevitably makes them feel bad.

However, after all, the maids are well-trained, and with their status and the prudent character they have cultivated, they will never insult that woman in front of her face.

Because she was just a maid, even if she felt dissatisfied, she still had to consider the role her master played in this matter.

These girls who serve the high-ranking and powerful masters need to cultivate their eyesight, not just doing their jobs well.

They also sometimes have to think about difficult problems that bother their masters.

"If it wasn't for worrying about the trade agreement just signed and the covenant between the two countries, how could His Majesty be so kind to you?"

The maid just bowed her head.

She's actually had enough of that.

However, after all, she is just a maid, scolding whatever, some responsibilities and obligations at the work level still have to be fulfilled.

As a maid, she is now transferred to serve the visiting princess of Burgundy, so she must stand at the door and listen to see if Krimhild has any needs.

So soon, she adjusted her breathing, and then raised her head again.

However, when she turned around, she saw the tall man.

It's not walking towards me, as if it suddenly appeared in front of me.

This startled her.

"Your Majesty the King."

She exclaimed.

But soon, she covered her mouth to prevent herself from losing her composure too much.

But in front of her, the tall and handsome man just put his finger on his lips.

"Be quiet."

"you……"

For a moment, she was in chaos.

At the same time, she couldn't help feeling the fear that was unique to being a maid.

Have your previous complaints been heard?

Have you managed your facial expressions well?

The kind of education they had received since they were young did not allow them to lose their composure in front of their master, so her thoughts suddenly became confused.

And at this moment, His Majesty the King spoke:

"Put away the disgust on your face, I know you don't like her, but these things are complicated after all."

After all, Siegfried didn't like to put on a superior attitude. He was born as a civilian and didn't have the arrogance of ordinary nobles or members of the royal family.

He didn't even like to speak to people in a commanding tone if it wasn't necessary.

Rather than ordering others arrogantly, he still likes to be friends with others.

no matter who.

Whether it's Hagen or the maids around Hilda.

"His Majesty……"

Looking at Siegfried's gentle face, the maid's slightly worried mood was completely relaxed.

And after she was completely relaxed, she couldn't help but express the distress in her heart.

"However, this woman, Krimhild, is really shameless."

Restraining her own voice, the maid said in a low voice.

"Obviously you already have such a close relationship with His Highness, but she still runs here."

The maid was obviously on Hilda's side. After all, she grew up in the Icelandic royal palace, and she was the same sister as Her Royal Highness the Princess whom she loved.

So sometimes it seems unreasonable to speak.

Faced with such a situation, Siegfried could only smile wryly.

At this moment, the maid who had been lowering her head and complaining did not notice that His Majesty the King in front of her began to look around.

Then, he looked towards a certain location.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to know something, so he coughed lightly.

"That woman, she..."

"Are you afraid?"

In the end, before the maid could complain more, such words lingered in her ears.

Then, when the maid raised her head, what she saw was His Majesty's gentle smile.

"Eh?"

He didn't seem to show any anger because of her fragmentary complaints, but calmly asked a question that seemed irrelevant.

So at this moment, the maid couldn't turn her head around.

"afraid of what……"

"You're afraid that I'll be attracted by Krimhild's charm, so I won't fall in love with you, aren't you?"

"Ah, no!"

Just after fully understanding what His Majesty the King was saying, the maid hurriedly shook her head.

After all, she is still a maid, and the education in the court has deeply imprinted the concept of respect and inferiority in her mind.

This has nothing to do with Siegfried's attitude, it's just because that's what the older ladies in the court taught her when she was a child.

Maids are servants, and they shouldn't question their master's affairs anyway, let alone matters related to love affairs.

"I have never doubted the relationship between His Majesty and His Highness Hilda."

"Don't be nervous."

Looking at the panic shown by the maid who was the same age as him, or even younger, Siegfried couldn't help feeling complicated in his heart.

He really wanted to treat them as friends, but they were used to 'righting' their maidservants, which made him feel a little regretful.

It can even be said to be distressed.

But forget it.

"Have a little confidence in me, and also in your highness, she has a charm that can't lose to anyone."

The charm of Hilda-sama...

"You have been by her side since you were a child. As her little sister, don't you know this better than me?"

Just when Siegfried said that, that lively figure couldn't help appearing in the maid's mind.

Immediately afterwards, the tension in her heart completely dissipated.

"Yes, Your Highness is very charming."

"Isn't that enough? She's very attractive, even more attractive than Krimhild in my eyes."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

"So let's get out of the way. As the host, I can't neglect the guests, otherwise Hilda will blame me."

"Yes!"

After hearing what Siegfried said, a smile appeared on the maid's face.

Chapter 32: Good looks means doing whatever you want

In the end, the maid finally completely restrained her restless and nervous thoughts.

She took two steps back just like that, and then stared at the profile of His Majesty the King.

The young His Majesty the King exudes a unique charm at this moment, and this charm can only be understood by those maids in the court who can see him every day and some insiders.

Handsome, strong, powerful, etc., these advantages have long been blown away by those bards.

And, these are just appearances.

In the eyes of the maids, the reason why Siegfried can reveal a unique temperament and charm is because he is dedicated and single-minded.

Until now, he has never had any lovers, not even any scandals.

Although it sounds a bit strange, in fact, this is indeed rare in the court of Midgard.

People themselves have desires, whether it is wealth or physical desires, this is a kind of desire, and for those who control power, being able to have no distracting thoughts is a commendable thing in itself.

What's more, Siegfried himself turned a blind eye to the so-called beauties who came to his door.

Girls are always a little more romantic in their hearts, let alone girls who have lived in the court since childhood.

Because of the clean and self-disciplined style of life brought about by the old King Gripal of the Kingdom of Iceland, these maids are always simpler and have higher pursuits in some aspects.

In order to cater to the public, bards often add several confidante to the hero who is the protagonist, but they don't like those stories.

In their eyes, only a man who has no distractions and treats his emotions can be called a real 'hero'.

"so good……"

Looking at Siegfried's handsome profile, the maid couldn't help but subconsciously sigh.
