You and me under the world tree

"hiss……"

"Unfortunately, the one in her eyes has already fallen in love with others, and after knowing this, she may do some drastic things next."

"Ah."

Knowing that the sage was admonishing, Hagen, the palace minister, nodded solemnly.

"During this time, I will strengthen the defenses inside the palace. As for your Majesty's three meals a day, you should not have to worry about anything. In the end, I will also strengthen the monitoring of that woman."

Hagen made sure of that.

He was the chancellor of the court of the Netherlands and the minister of Siegfried.

At the same time, he is also the head of the Skyfury Guards responsible for defending His Majesty the King. After all, the entire Skyfury Guards are under his command.

However, there is a big or small problem in this.

"You don't need to increase your efforts, just keep it as it is. What kind of monitoring and protection should a kingdom have, then you can do what you want. If you increase your efforts without authorization, it will attract suspicion."

Hagen is very smart, but his experience in this field is not enough after all.

He's just a young man after all...

"I understand."

Fortunately, he is not complacent.

What he does now is entirely due to Siegfried's loyalty, and he has great respect for the sage.

In his eyes, the man before him was an elder, an icon, a pioneer.

"Well, besides..."

Under Hagen's sight, the idol in his eyes spoke slowly.

"During this time, you may be very hard."

"what……"

"In fact, Krimhild was right in saying something before, you were at least taught in the Burgundian court, and after that, you may be infamous, just like me... No, yes Worse infamy than mine."

"Your Mightiness……"

"Those words would be hard to hear."

"This is also my revenge, Your Excellency, no matter what others say..."

"Okay, you don't need to show any loyalty. If there is any conflict with the Kingdom of Burgundy, that kid Siegfried will definitely not let you go to the front line. He won't let his friend bear that kind of infamy."

Killing brothers, in exchange for future and fame, these are the most basic.

Without much guesswork, Hodder can see the scene after the conflict has completely erupted.

"I have no retreat, and I don't need to retreat, Your Excellency the Sage, assuming that woman Klimhild becomes His Majesty's queen, this is the worst situation for me."

"That's why you have to be very careful."

After patting Hagen on the shoulder lightly, Hodder left.

"I'm going to do something, you go and get busy."

"Your Mightiness……"

Finally, under Hagen's gaze, the figure of the sage disappeared into the sunlight.

The little magistrate only looked at the end of the corridor, the entrance of the palace.

The sunlight shining into the palace was a bit dazzling.

"Infamy." He whispered.

Finally, he turned and walked into the dark depths of the palace.

"I have never regretted it, Your Excellency, and I have never been afraid of infamy." He whispered, "The vortex of power, after all, no one is clean."

"Yo, Hagen, I wanted to visit you in your office before."

"His Majesty!"

Suddenly, Hagen saw the tall, handsome man.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency said that you..."

"She brought some pastries and opened a few bottles of fine wine. Let's have something to eat together. It's not good to bury your head in the office all the time, isn't it?"

"His Majesty……"

"Let's go, let's have a drink together."

At this point, Siegfried grabbed Hagen's hand and dragged him out of the slightly dark corner of the corridor.

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask my uncle to have dinner with me, but he seems to be very busy."

"Your Excellency the Sage is like this, but it is undeniable that he has been running for the kingdom."

After hearing Siegfried's complaint, Hagen couldn't help laughing.

As the palace minister, he is not only responsible for the safety of the palace, but also handles the internal government affairs of the palace and deals with the vortex of interests.

Compared with other palace ministers, he has one more responsibility, which is to listen to the complaints of his majesty the king.

"If you want, you can express these thoughts to the sage, I think he will find time." Hagen said seriously.

At this moment, he even remembered the previous conversation and the deeds of the sage.

"Even now, he is working hard to pave the way for you."

They went all the way up the steps to the courtyard and out into the sunlight.

Chapter 44: Sudden riots

Princess Hilda of Iceland often jumps back and forth between the Netherlands and Iceland with the help of rainbow rune stones and the power of teleportation magic.

After dealing with most of the government affairs at hand, King Siegfried also likes to take a leisurely walk in the courtyard alone, or even take a nap under the broad children's tree.

This is already their daily life, and now, the palace minister Hagen, who has always been conscientious, is also forced to fish under the "order" of His Majesty the King.

He temporarily put down the government affairs at hand, and was brought into the courtyard by His Majesty the King to have a meal together.

It's not a dinner, just a little wine, a little pastry, and a random nonsense talk.

At this moment, there is no inner class in the palace, but only three friends who have experienced the war together.

Perhaps in a way, this is a waste of time.

But who cares?

The gathering under the Children's Tree is not something utilitarian in nature, and human beings are not the kind of creatures that work all the time.

At least during this time, they can completely relax, and that's enough.

Maybe they will talk a little bit about their identities in the last part of the small party.

But at least not now...

But on the other hand, Her Royal Highness Princess Krimhild who left the palace would never have imagined that just after she left, the king who kept saying that he would discuss with his staff about the construction of the temple was in front of the noble children. Live your own happy little holiday under the tree.

It is impossible for her to know now, and it is impossible for her to go up the stairs to the inside of the palace with a twitch of her head, because the courtyard has never been allowed to enter.

Even the Skywrath guards seldom set foot on the stairs, so far only the Skywrath Legion leader Hagen is qualified to set foot on that piece of land at will.

And now, Krimhild has stepped down the ladder.

She came to her carriage, and there her driver was.

"Your Highness."

"Go back," she said.

Then, Krimhild climbed into the carriage with a vigorous posture, without the support of others at all.

After seeing this scene, the coachman couldn't help scratching his cheek.

Although this is not very good for him as a servant, but he always feels that his master is not in a good mood.

In fact, Krimhild's face still had that almost formulaic but not so easy to see through smile on his face.

That kind of smile combined with her natural pure but beautiful appearance will definitely not make people disgusted.

Moreover, Krimhild had indeed adjusted his expression before.

Theoretically speaking, it will never make people aware of the problem.

But the coachman did feel it, and he had no evidence of it, if he insisted.

To put it bluntly, it was just intuition, and for a servant like him, intuition was useless.

"Illusion."

Putting aside those thoughts in his heart, the coachman finally raised the long whip in his hand.

'Snapped'

Accompanied by the sound of whipping and the neighing of the horses, the two high-quality horses pulling the carriage began to move.

For a servant like him, it is not a good habit to speculate about the master's affairs without authorization.

He is a coachman, so he has to do what a coachman should do well, and other things have nothing to do with him.

In this way, the carriage moved slowly on the clean street.

There are strict regulations on the speed of the carriage in Skywrath City, so the speed of the carriage is not fast.

At this moment, Krimhild in the carriage subconsciously opened the curtain of the window, and what he saw was the wide and tidy street.

Even though the residential area of ​​Skywrath City doesn't restrict horses from walking around, it never looks dirty because there are always special cleaners cleaning it.

Children squatting on the floor playing marbles, or playing games only played by children, that kind of laughter has been lingering in this land.

As for the noise from the distant market area, it became an excellent background music.

Even, because the sound is so far away, it can even give people an inexplicable sense of security—the residents of the residential area can really feel the feeling of being protected.

If it was before, Krimhild would definitely let the driver continue to slow down the carriage.

For her, no matter how many times, the layout of the City of Wrath is never tired of seeing.

Although she has the pride of being a royal family, this pride makes her think that the tempered city where she has lived since she was a child: the royal city of Worms is the best place in the world.

But the Skywrath King City in the Netherlands is constantly impacting her thoughts and perceptions with practical actions.

But now, due to various reasons, she even feels a little upset now, so she couldn't help but speak:

"Speed ​​up, don't wander around today, I want to go back quickly."

At this moment, what Krimhild said made the coachman feel confused.

At the same time, his heart skipped a beat.

Doesn't Her Royal Highness really encounter any problems?

Her mood may not be as good as it appears on the surface.

However, he still has a certain professional ethics after all.

Coupled with the awe of those high-ranking royal families and nobles, this made him respond immediately:

"Understood Your Highness, I will go back now."

He paused for a moment, he seemed to be hesitating, but soon, he still spoke out the thoughts in his heart:

"In addition, Your Highness, this is already the fastest speed, and there are regulations in the royal city on this."

"Well, don't hang around here then."

"it is good……"

But at this moment, the two horses suddenly neighed fiercely.

"Eh?"

The sudden neighing made the coachman tighten his grip on the reins.

not good……

After all, he was a coachman and had been with the horses for a long time, so he immediately understood what happened.
