You and me under the world tree

However, for the envoys of the Kingdom of Burgundy, they could only look at each other at this time.

Because they don't know what to do now.

In the end, they could only turn their attention to Her Royal Highness the Princess in the middle.

"Your Highness, you..."

Finally, one of the elders in the Burgundian mission couldn't help but speak.

However, before he could finish speaking, the princess took two steps back.

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

No matter how well-bred Krimhild is, she can't accept the situation that is happening in front of her eyes.

From the time Siegfried started coughing and spitting blood, her mind went blank, and by the time she collapsed, her ability to think had come to a complete standstill.

At the same time, there was only that one thought left in her mind.

"That's impossible! It shouldn't be like this!"

Perhaps at this moment, there is still reason in Krimhild's mind.

That rationality maintained her last dignity, preventing her from yelling like a crazy woman.

But at this moment, her behavior can't be called rational.

"It shouldn't be like this, there must be something wrong!"

She looked as if she was trying to justify her actions, but at this moment, I'm afraid no one could listen to her words.

"Where are the guards!"

In the end, a loud shout interrupted everyone's voices.

Both the self-hypnotic whispers of Kriemhild and the noisy conversation of the Burgundian envoy were over.

Just this kind of voice made them focus and sight on the little man.

And at the moment they looked at him, almost everyone took a step back.

Hagen of Tronpage...

Although he has been serving the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the monarch Siegfried as a palace minister, he is a warrior after all.

Although short in stature, he did not wear armor.

But just standing on the steps, he brought endless oppression.

And more importantly, he was angry.

Anyone could sense the anger in his heart from his distorted face.

If the anger can be turned into substance, then the whole palace might be on fire!

"Your Excellency Hagen, please listen to our explanation!"

Finally, unable to bear the pressure any longer, an emissary took a step forward.

No matter what, there is always something to explain.

He thought so.

But before he could say anything more, a sound from the door interrupted his train of thought.

The ground seems to be shaking...

Finally, when he looked around, he found that there were gatehouses on both sides of the palace at the gate and many soldiers had broken in.

They wear uniform armor and hold weapons and shields.

Skywrath Guards...

Because the armor was too conspicuous, it only took one glance to identify where they belonged.

"Wait a minute! Your Excellency Hagen! We..."

"So far, what else do you have to say!"

Directly dismissing the messenger who wanted to explain, Hagen narrowed his eyes slightly.

His eyes swept over those people present, whether they were envoys or courtiers, he took in the expressions and demeanor of these people.

"Sky Wrath Guards, take down these guys! Put these Burgundy murderers... under house arrest! Keep them under strict supervision!"

In the end, Hagen was not overwhelmed by anger.

He didn't tear his face directly on the surface, so he gave Krimhild a face.

And after promulgating this order as the head of the Skywrath Legion, he stared at the helpless Princess Burgundy.

"Krimhild...I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"

"NO, I have not!"

"Then how do you explain the current situation! Your Majesty just rejected your love, but you actually poisoned him at the banquet!"

"I……"

In the end, Hagen's sharp words hurt Krimhild's heart.

This instead woke her up.

"No, it shouldn't be like this, I didn't poison you!"

But how could she explain the specific situation clearly?

No one can overthrow the definition of this event anymore:

At the time when Midgard was in turmoil, Princess Krimhild of Burgundy was suspected of poisoning King Siegfried of the Netherlands, so she was placed under house arrest.

"So, how will you deal with it?"

Beneath the Barnstock, the tree of children, the sage leans slowly on the trunk.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

There, there seemed to be dark clouds covering the sun.

…………

Tomorrow, I will go to a distant place, visit the grave, and bury my grandfather by the way.

Chapter 68: Necessary Evil 4k5

In the end, the party ended badly.

However, this so-called "separation" is still a bit particular, because it ended with the Burgundian mission being imprisoned.

Moreover, from the moment the banquet started, no one thought that there would be such a result.

This is true of the Skywrath guards who are in charge of carrying out their missions, as well as the courtiers in the palace.

In fact, in the previous communications and exchanges, many courtiers in the Dutch court had a good chat with the Burgundian envoys.

The content of their exchanges is not limited to diplomatic matters, but also includes personal hobbies and prospects for the future and so on.

And their outlook on the so-called future has actually touched a sensitive place.

For example, the marriage of the king, or their status.

In short, there are indeed some people in Siegfried's court who have ambitions that they shouldn't have.

They may have once had enthusiasm for the king and the entire Netherlands, but they were quickly carried away by their status and the partial power they held in their hands.

They are not satisfied with their positions and want to keep climbing.

And when their abilities couldn't be compared with those of Hagen, they set their minds on those crooked ways.

To put it bluntly, everyone is a smart person, so they all understand that the position of Palace Chancellor Hagen is not stable.

At least in the eyes of those envoys in Burgundy, it is not stable, and as long as Krimhild successfully gets together with Siegfly, then there will definitely be strong turmoil in the court of the Kingdom of the Netherlands .

For most people, this will certainly not be a good thing, but for a small number of people who are dazzled by interests, this is an opportunity.

A great opportunity to...

Hagen was too young, and a dwarven half-breed.

With the blessing of this bloodline, no one can see the end of his life.

Perhaps, even the descendant of the Volsung family, their majesty the king, could not compare his life expectancy with him.

In this case, most of them may stop at their current positions.

It was in this situation that those careful thoughts came into being, which is why each kingdom has a set of strict 'default rules'.

If the king is not strong, then the promotion and promotion of positions within the kingdom is also related to age to a certain extent.

Avoid sealing the unsealable, and avoid arousing the anger of the incompetent.

After all, everything is about stability.

But Siegfried is obviously not such a monarch.

He started from scratch and did not rely on any force, and naturally he did not need to rely on other external forces.

He who controls the military power naturally has the highest appointment and removal power in the entire kingdom.

As long as he wants, his hand can reach anywhere in the Netherlands without hindrance.

He doesn't intervene because he doesn't want to, not because he can't.

However, no matter what, today's everything is over.

"call……"

Just when those Burgundy envoys and Princess Krimhild were taken away by the Skywrath Guards with ashen faces, Hagen couldn't help but took a deep breath.

At this moment, his eyes scanned the rest of the people present.

The maids, the guards, and those courtiers who were at a loss.

Just now, Hagen enjoyed a wonderful face-changing.

I don't know what they think of His Majesty's being 'poisoned'.

You know, the current Lord of Armies has no heirs yet.

"Okay, let's leave first."

After maintaining a moment of silence, Hagen spoke.

Facing Hagen's gaze, many courtiers felt a lingering chill.

Some people are at a loss because they haven't fully figured out the current situation.

While the other part stared at His Majesty's body, with an uncertain expression.

"Why do you ask us to leave!"

After hesitating for a moment, someone from the courtier's team just walked out.
