You and me under the world tree

Chapter 35: The Royal Ranch

Royal ranch in the Netherlands.

Even looking at the entire atrium world, or even looking at the entire human kingdom, this should be a desirable place.

First of all, its environment is not considered dangerous.

Although a 'delicate' princess like Krimhild is vulnerable to the impact of those animals, it is still quite difficult to get injured when a guide is assigned or even protected by a guard.

And more importantly, it includes almost all land animals living on Midgard.

Except for some guys who have strict requirements on the environment, there is everything in it, even the ferocious monsters are no exception.

If you are interested in animals, you can go to the ranch to play, and if you want to hunt with ferocious or fast beasts, the hunting ground is next door to the ranch.

There's everything there to cater to any of the royal family's tricky needs—and in theory, it does.

And because of this, Krimhild couldn't refute anything for a while, because she really wanted to go to that place.

Because Siegfried looked as if he had thought of everything, and there was no room for her to refute.

However, this unfolding was quite different from what she had envisioned.

Originally, according to her understanding of Siegfried, although this man was not close to her, he was always very polite.

As long as it is not too much, some small requests that are reasonable will not be refused.

And because of this, she originally wanted to propose to visit the royal ranch, and then took advantage of the opportunity to propose to go with His Majesty the King.

To put it bluntly, she herself has no great interest in the ferocious beasts, monsters and even some other animals kept in captivity by the royal family.

Because she is the royal family of Burgundy.

The Kingdom of Burgundy may not have the power to dominate the battlefield like the Goths and the Netherlands, but no matter what, it is a complete and huge kingdom.

In addition, the land is fertile and suitable for planting as well as grazing.

As far as the environment is concerned, it is even possible to build a beautiful pasture—a pasture only for the royal family to visit and watch.

The royal family of Burgundy has always liked to work in this kind of place.

Just like the ancestors of the kingdom were willing to spend a lot of energy to cultivate Phnom Penh roses and created the Worms Rose Garden that was only appreciated by the royal family, there are naturally all kinds of tame animals that have been domesticated in the kingdom.

As the princess in the kingdom and the favorite sister of his brothers, Krimhild has no interest in these things anymore.

Even Warcraft is the same.

Although she has practiced enough self-defense techniques to protect herself, she is really not interested in those monsters that show their ferocious faces.

The so-called tourist ranch was just an excuse for her to walk with His Majesty the King.

but now……

"The royal family's ranch, the entry and exit requirements must be very strict."

After thinking for a moment, Krimhild couldn't help but speak.

She really has no interest in the royal ranch, so no matter what, she has to turn the topic to where she needs it.

"After all, I'm an outsider. It's not good to go in and out of the royal family's ranch at will, so I still..."

Then, her words stopped abruptly.

Because at this moment, she suddenly saw the strange look in the young King's Majesty whom she admired.

This look made her heart skip a beat.

"Your Majesty the King?"

"I think...you may have misunderstood my kingdom a little bit."

"The so-called Royal Family Ranch and Hunting Ground in the Netherlands is only named after me. In fact, it officially opened for business dozens of days ago."

"Open for business??"

"Well, I don't have any special preference for these. It just so happens that the citizens seem to be quite interested in this, so there are tour groups in every big city."

"tour group……"

"Well, there is a payment place at the entrance of the ranch and hunting ground. After paying the money and getting the ticket, you can go in and visit. If you pay more money, you can also hunt in the hunting ground accompanied by legion soldiers. Many families Wealthy kids and civilians who don't have the opportunity to hunt especially love this program."

Having said that, Siegfried couldn't help laughing.

"Maybe their bow skills are particularly poor, and they don't know how to set up any traps to catch prey, but what they want is that kind of atmosphere. Maybe it will make them feel like they are also warriors."

What is this and what...

When hearing what Siegfried said, Krimhild's brain was a little confused.

"To put it bluntly, there is nothing strange about it, as long as you pay a certain amount of money, you can sign up to participate, but because ranches and hunting grounds require a huge area, it is impossible to build them in cities. Taking a trip together seems too stupid, so it is naturally more cost-effective to form a group."

When she was confused, Siegfried was still narrating those things casually.

"But this……"

At this moment, the development of the situation seemed to be beyond her control.

Therefore, she couldn't even control her expression.

consternation……

This kind of emotion surfaced on her face, lingering.

And these were all taken into consideration by Siegfried.

really……

Watching Krimhild's expression, Siegfried shook his head slightly.

"Is it hard to understand?"

"..."

The education he received was completely different, and for this reason, compared with the so-called traditional nobles and royal families, he did not have the so-called pride and exclusive ideas.

Perhaps, his actions are unreasonable in the eyes of those royal families who like to enjoy, or even monopolize some wonderful things.

But he didn't think it mattered.

Because his uncle doesn't care about it, it's better to turn them into real benefits than the so-called pride and dignity.

He doesn't know much about the commercial street, but he still knows about the ranch.

Both the ranch and the hunting ground have clearly marked prices, and there are even a series of projects such as feeding monsters and getting in close contact with ferocious animals.

Most of this income will be used to maintain the pastures and hunting grounds themselves.

He is still very proud of this policy, because through this policy, the property within the kingdom has completely flowed and more value has been created.

In a few more years he would fill the kingdom's treasury without even needing to rely on the Ring of the Nibelung.

But obviously, this kind of thing has a bit of an impact on the traditional royal family of Krimhild.

No one can understand him, except Hilda and his uncle.

Facing Krimhild's slightly dull look, Siegfried finally just closed his eyes.

He suddenly lost interest in continuing to explain this aspect.

"In short, if you are interested in the ranch and hunting ground, I can arrange it. With Hagen's strength, he can guarantee that you will not be harmed."

In the end, the originally enthusiastic atmosphere completely cooled down.

"I hope Miss Krimhild will be satisfied."

Chapter 36: Denial

The cold wind unique to the Netherlands was blowing outside the window.

Although they could not be blown into the palace, they directly tore through Her Highness's defenses and penetrated into her heart.

Before she could fully react, her invitation would be completely useless.

And that seems to be the case?

After seeing Siegfried arrange everything without authorization, Krimhild couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

So why exactly?

Just when Siegfried finished his prepared polite speech, Krimhild just tried to control his breathing.

She didn't want the man in front of her to notice her astonishment and the displeasure in her heart.

At the same time, she was also flipping through the things that happened now in her mind, trying to find the problem.

And the answer is actually very simple - the difference between cognition and habit.

Kriemhild takes it for granted that all people enjoy pleasure - and that's the normal thing to do.

It's like businessmen and nobles like to use the spare money on hand to decorate their residences, and even build gardens and manors.

They like to enjoy themselves, and at the same time they don't like other people to get involved in their 'private property'.

And the royal family headed by the king and ruling the kingdom is naturally the most powerful person in the whole kingdom.

There is such a place as the Grand Rose Garden in Burgundy, and for the royal family, their pastures and hunting grounds must be private.

Usually need to pay for maintenance, but absolutely do not allow other people to set foot.

Because it is reserved for the royal family.

No matter when and where, the word "exclusive" has always had a unique allure, because it means ownership and uniqueness.

In her impression, the so-called royal family ranch is only for members of the royal family.

If His Majesty the King and his people want to go to the ranch alone or go hunting directly, they need a certain amount of ostentation.

Not to mention inspiring teachers and mobilizing people, but there must be people to follow.

Siegfried may be able to come and go freely with his own great strength, but Princess Krimhild obviously cannot do this.

Originally, this was considered an 'advantage' to her to some extent.

Because as the envoy of the Kingdom of Burgundy and a weak princess, Siegfried could not let her run around in his kingdom, let alone let her go to the pasture alone.

Based on this, she felt that as long as she made a request in this regard and took a step back, she could go with Siegfried.

She really thought so, and she really wanted to say so.

It's not that she has to go to the hunting grounds and pastures of the royal family, just take her with Siegfried when he wants to go out.

This was her ultimate goal, but unexpectedly, the young Lord of Armies completely shattered all her thoughts with one sentence.

I can't get over it...

After sorting out the things that happened before from the beginning to the end, such thoughts emerged in her mind.

After realizing that she couldn't find any reversible conditions, she couldn't help pursing her lips.

At this moment, with her head lowered, she did not notice the sight of His Majesty the King.

Siegfried seemed to be looking at the surrounding environment casually, but his eyes swept over Krimhild's long, smooth hair intentionally or unintentionally.

He is waiting, waiting for Krimhild to give the next 'operation'.

No one can find that his heart is constantly beating drums under his calm appearance.

Speaking or something, he has never been proficient in this kind of thing.

The so-called 'showdown' in his eyes is probably to explain the matter clearly in person, and then wait for the other party's answer after throwing all the questions to the other party.

This is the so-called 'showdown' in his eyes.

But in fact it is not that simple. According to his uncle's temporary teaching, the so-called 'showdown' is also a kind of speaking technique.

Even if you speak out all the things openly and honestly, you must control the initiative in your hands.

In other words, this topic must not be brought up by him.

At least he can't be like a Tie Hanhan, rushing directly to the 'showdown' when Krimhild didn't even express his intention in this regard.

This is folly, because Kriemhild can deny it at any time.

So, he has to wait.
