You and me under the world tree
Page 725
Not to mention relying on the old to sell the old, but for some elderly people, the young princess has no other excellence except the skin that can arouse their primitive desires.
Especially compared to her two older brothers.
King Gunter displayed majesty and wisdom.
The warrior Gernot is responsible for the display of valor.
As the youngest of three children, Krimhild only had that good-looking skin.
She has always been amiable to the outside world, and because she has never been arrogant, she has a large number of followers who want to kiss Fangze.
But just like that, she has no value in the court.
In the eyes of most people, she herself is just a prop for marriage.
The only thing she can do is to show her excellence, attract the warriors in the kingdom, unite the hearts of the people, and then attract the princes and nobles outside the kingdom of Burgundy.
Finally, in exchange for a reasonable covenant, use her beauty to blow pillow wind around those kings, and seek more benefits for Burgundy.
Such was the role of Kriemhildr to the vast majority of the clear-minded men at court.
And the only effect of this is her own destiny that is about to usher in.
However, facing such a character, even in such a dangerous situation, these courtiers who relied on their own abilities to stand out in the Burgundian court did not dare to offend them.
No matter how angry they are in their hearts, no matter how uncomfortable they feel now, or even the infighting there a moment ago, they cannot show any over-the-line attitude towards Krimhild.
"It's obvious that you poisoned Siegfried, causing our efforts to go to waste, why do you have the face to yell here?"
For them, even such seemingly reasonable questions are crossing the line.
They won't do it, and they definitely won't dare to do it.
Because the majesty of the Burgundian royal family is still there.
This is the majesty and awe brought by Jibishi's generation.
At that time, the Kingdom of Burgundy did not fall into a state of nearly fragmented like the Gothic Kingdom, which had to be attributed to the political strategy and construction of Jibixi and his father.
Although they did not rely on killing to gain power like the Gothic King Dietmar when they were young, nor did they imprint fear deeply in the hearts of the surrounding kingdoms like him.
However, that doesn't mean those two kings didn't have any means.
Let's not mention it externally, but they have at least managed to unify the kingdom.
Not to mention one mind, but at least those people dare not openly defy the royal family.
Even now, it is not the brave Gaernot, nor the current king Gunter, who is in front of them.
Krimhild is nothing but the smallest princess in the kingdom!
But she just glanced at it like this, but no one dared to look up.
A princess is a princess after all, and her noble status is beyond the reach of these emissaries who exist as courtiers.
"I know what you're thinking."
And after venting, Krimhild's originally sharp voice became deep and low.
"In your eyes, I am just an ordinary princess, and I have no other advantages other than the skin that my father and queen gave me."
"We never had such thoughts, Your Highness."
At this moment, someone couldn't help but speak.
Following the sound, Krimhild saw a young face.
It was a young man who was also her suitor.
But after glancing at him, Krimhild didn't pause, she quickly averted her gaze.
"I only admit one thing, that mead was indeed brewed by myself, and the rest of that mead is here."
In front of those messengers, Krimhild took out the crystal bottle containing mead from his arms.
Under the light of the setting sun, the honey wine remaining in the crystal bottle was clearly visible.
Although there is only a little bit at the end, it is still drinkable after all.
"I will prove one thing to you now."
At this moment, Her Royal Highness seemed to have lost all etiquette, and she didn't talk about dining etiquette.
She uncorked the bottle and drank the rest of the mead in one gulp.
It's just a small sip, far from a full cup like Siegfried's.
But even so, the arrogance of the gulp still silenced the envoys.
Even at this moment, their breathing froze.
Although the entire hall was crowded with guards, maids and courtiers from the Burgundy court, they were speechless.
It's as if breathing is all wrong.
Only at last did Krimhild's own heavy breathing break the silence.
"call……"
In front of those people, she turned the mead bottle upside down, and nothing dripped from the bottle.
In fact, she could have done without.
Because the crystal bottle was originally translucent, they could all see the whole process of Krimhild drinking the mead.
But I have to say that her small movements are very oppressive.
And this kind of pressure is absolutely not available to normal people!
This is the decisive power of the royal family.
"I'm here to prove one thing."
Gently wiping off the mead dripping from the corner of his mouth, Krimhild spoke.
"The drinks I prepare are absolutely non-toxic, at best..."
At this moment, she suddenly frowned, and her pretty face became distorted.
It was nothing when I drank heavily at the beginning, but when the aftertaste came, the sour feeling instantly filled my mouth.
At this time, Krimhild finally realized the feeling Siegfried had when drinking.
Having said that, is this wine really that bad?
Is this the smell of mead, or the so-called love potion?
Isn't it said that love potions should be tasteless?
Many ideas emerged in Krimhild's mind.
But in the end, those messy thoughts all dissipated one by one.
Because she still has important things to do now.
"At most, there may be a little problem with the taste, but this is just a matter of my personal craftsmanship! I think this level of proof should satisfy you!"
In the hall, Her Royal Highness's voice echoed.
"If you still want to verify further, we can also wait, just a few hours, and I can afford to wait."
Perhaps it was because Her Royal Highness's way of self-proving deeply shocked their hearts.
This left the messengers speechless.
So in the end, the grudges among the messengers gradually dissipated.
But the problem still exists!
And after they looked at each other, someone dared to ask the question in their hearts:
"Your Highness, if the mead itself is not poisonous, then what is the matter with His Majesty's behavior?"
"I do not know."
Facing the envoy's question, Krimhild spoke.
"But if you think about it carefully, you should understand that if there is no problem with the mead and the crystal bottle, it will be obvious where the problem lies."
Thinking of this, Krimhild couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"There are very few places where you can poison, there are only a few, not wine, not crystal bottles, the only problem is the drinking cup... that horn cup!"
Reminded of the cup Siegfried used to drink, Krimhild gritted his teeth and said.
"The only problem is the cup."
Chapter 71: Hagen
Krimhild's speculation is certainly reasonable.
Moreover, after she completed the self-certification and confirmed that the drink itself did not contain any poison, similar thoughts and speculations emerged in the heads of those envoys in charge of diplomatic work.
After all, everyone is not a stupid guy.
There is no way for an idiot to hang out in the court, let alone be entrusted with important tasks by the king to come to the Kingdom of the Netherlands to take charge of diplomatic matters.
However, this alone is not enough.
When Krimhild proved that there was no poison in the mead in the bottle, there was a problem that had to be faced here.
Who is going to poison Siegfried?
Why poison?
Before answering these two questions, there is another problem that must be solved.
"Who on earth can touch Siegfried's horn cup?"
Finally, someone among the messengers asked such a question.
And for this, Krimhild has an 'excellent' answer.
"I don't know," she answered.
However, only such an answer is normal.
They were, after all, only envoys of Burgundy, and Krimhild was the princess of Burgundy.
They can contact and even have friendly exchanges with people in the Dutch court, including Siegfried, but it is nonsense to inquire about things in the court.
Even if Krimhild has been in and out of the palace frequently in the recent period, it is impossible for her to know this in a short time.
However, this is not without trace!
"At least, Siegfried is a real royal family."
Facing the eyes of the envoys who were still kneeling, Krimhild spoke.
"I don't want to say whether the legendary Skywrath sage taught him this, but I believe that from the moment he became king, and even commanded the army to fight against the Hengding clan, his throne automatically informed He does."
Life habits depend on vision, and vision depends on life habits.
Krimhild believed that even though the sage never told Siegfried about the dangers of the throne, he could have experienced it from the moment he stepped into that position and put on the heavy crown.
"This is the royal family, because the power of the entire kingdom rests on the shoulders of the royal family, and the position created by power and responsibility is destined to be involved in countless conspiracies, so Siegfried must be careful."
Having said that, Krimhild paused.
At the same time, she raised her hand slightly.
"You all stand up, kneeling is also very tiring."
Since Her Majesty the Princess has given such an order, those envoys will naturally not lose face.
But maybe it was because they had been kneeling for so long, and the few seniors who stood up had a tendency to wobble a little.
However, Krimhild did not look at them directly.
At this moment, she seemed to be quite relaxed, and her eyes wandered casually around the messengers.
Finally, she walked slowly downstairs.
"I think you guys understand what I'm talking about, right?"
"Naturally, Your Royal Highness."
