You and me under the world tree

After Half said so much, Theotis finally understood what the cheers and noise outside meant.

Because that kind of excitement is ceremonial.

Because in this public ceremony, as the only remaining direct survivor of the royal family, Harf promised to give up all his rights as a royal family and hand over the crown to the Gothic princess.

In other words, Dietrich, the Gothic princess, may not have inherited her father's crown, but at this moment she can claim the title of King of Denmark.

After realizing this, Theotis couldn't help feeling extremely complicated.

She didn't know what to say, so she had a tendency to keep her mouth shut.

But in the end, this messy situation finally came to an end.

Perhaps for her who once existed as a queen, the inheritance rights and the throne of Denmark have already become sensitive points engraved in her bones.

As long as others mentioned related matters, she would definitely react.

However, now that the matter has developed to such a point, she also understands that the so-called disturbance is useless.

After careful weighing, this kind of thing is not impossible to let go.

Because for her, the most important thing is still that child.

"You mean Losger?"

Staring at the former queen, Half asked.

"Yes."

Even though he is dead now, she still cares about these things.

The home after death.

Although in the Nine Realms, they all understand that human beings have only two conventional choices after their lives come to an end.

The first is the soul returning to Helheim, which is also the destination of most people.

And those outstanding fighters, the warriors beloved by the gods, have the opportunity to enter the realm of the gods and enjoy eternal life.

These are more common sense for the people of Midgard.

But even so, they are still obsessed with setting up graves for the dead.

Because for the living, the tomb of the dead is not only a memorial, but also a spiritual sustenance.

Even, this also represents a 'signpost' for the living to come to an end in the world.

Even in a kingdom like Norway, where ship cremation is popular and long-distance voyages, gravestones similar to tombstones will be erected after the funeral ceremony.

This kind of common sense is burned deep in people's hearts.

This is also the reason why Theotis is restless, because not only her husband, but even her children have no good end.

She couldn't see the final outcome of her child with her own eyes, but she could hear the rumors in the market.

It is said that the body of Prince Rothger was found at the entrance to the city's secret passage leading to the palace.

And not even a whole body.

His lower body was randomly discarded in the secret passage, while his upper body was at the entrance.

The long bloodstains seemed to be interpreting his hard work and cruelty.

Because everyone could see that he crawled to the entrance desperately after his body was chopped off.

And he never had any coffins or tombs like this.

His body also burned up in the flames, and disappeared along with the former palace of the Kingdom of Denmark.

I was not able to enter the Danish King's Tomb, so naturally there are no tombs.

Originally, this matter was already a foregone conclusion.

But the appearance of Half has brought such a slight turning point for this matter.

"Elf has already entered the royal tomb, so my child..."

Before Theotis finished speaking, Halff frowned.

To be honest, he really wanted to point at this woman's nose and scold:

"What does he have to do with me? Don't push yourself too hard, why don't you go find the gothic princess yourself if you want to die?"

court death……

This is Half's own definition.

Because before, his situation in the Gothic court was not very good.

And if he wanted to describe that woman, he could only use the word 'moody'.

Because when he finally met the princess through the line of Studus, he felt the strong killing intent emanating from the princess.

Not because of anything else, because his request completely violated her original idea.

Although she would never kill the lord of the Netherlands because of the alliance between the Netherlands and the Goths, it was impossible for him to put his father's tomb in the royal tomb.

Among them, Studus has made a great contribution.

The man they rescued first made various guarantees, and then made various promises, which made the Gothic princess let go.

Speaking of which, he saved Studus before, that's right.

But this kind of life-saving grace was almost repaid because of this incident.

Because he heard that Studdus was not only temporarily deprived of the Danish power he should have obtained because he offended the princess he was loyal to, he even had to face the wall and think about it.

There is no doubt that his actions clearly left an unpleasant memory in the heart of his lord Dietrich.

Obviously, he made great contributions in the Gothic attack on Denmark, successfully blocked the invasion of Hungary, and was even cursed for it.

But in the end, he got nothing.

What is this?

Thinking about it carefully, maybe I still owe Studas a favor.

And when he thought of this, Harff couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He doesn't like to talk about favors, and he doesn't like to owe others favors.

And more importantly, anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between him and Losger!

Although it is not possible to completely fall out with the eldest son, it is impossible for him to have a good relationship with the so-called eldest son who is so beloved.

What's more, in some respects, it is precisely because of the existence of Luo Sige and the woman in front of him that his situation will become more and more embarrassing.

Of course, there are also reasons why his indecisive cerebral palsy father mishandled it.

But in the final analysis, it is still a matter of position.

The natural conflict of positions doomed their half-brothers to not be able to play together.

Losger was jealous of his elder brother who surpassed him in all aspects, and even doubted that his father would choose the best successor.

However, how could Half, as the elder brother, not be jealous of his brother?

It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous.

Because Losgada had everything he never had since he was born.

It's not the living environment, but the things that the average child will have:

parental love.

He's been the one who's been ignored, watching Losger enjoy the love of his family.

And that was the case in the past, let alone now.

He wouldn't show his hatred for Losger, but he was joking if he wanted to show his favor.

However, after seeing Theotis' face still stained with tears, he couldn't say any vicious words anyway.

Whether it is moral values ​​or education.

In the end, Harff swallowed some harsh words.

"You may have made a mistake, Theotis, I have no obligation to do anything for Losger."

"but……"

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end.

Because even Theotis himself should have noticed the reason for this.

Because this is indeed the truth.

The reason why Half would do these things for his father is because he has an inseparable blood relationship with his father.

To him, Elf was his father no matter what.

Maybe the relationship between father and son is not very deep, but at least there is the grace of life.

Because of this, he was willing to give Elf a face.

As for Losger...

"The matter of Losger will never fall on my head anyway, ma'am."

Half said in a low voice.

"After all, you are his mother."

Mother……

This word severely stimulated Theotis' nerves.

For a while, she couldn't even control her emotions.

"Well……"

It's not that you feel pain because you've been rejected.

Rather, the identity of 'mother' has long been tied to pain for Theotis.

"Ugh-"

Finally, the quiet corner echoed with weeping as the inhabitants of Denmark cheered to welcome their new monarch.

Chapter 49: Things to Carry

mother.

Compared with the status of Queen of Denmark, this status is more important to her.

However, after experiencing so many things, Theotis found that she was not a qualified mother at all.

When she was young, she didn't have the courage to wander around, and felt that it was impossible for her to live a life of hiding.

So she chose to follow the advice of the Valkyrie, and came to Denmark with Elf, the king of Denmark who was in his prime.

It was also at this time that she plunged her first child into an extremely dangerous situation.

She was already aware of the possessiveness of the King of Denmark.

However, she didn't dare to threaten anything.

In the so-called situation of being dependent on others, even her life depends on the face of others, and she can only accept everything in the face of everything.

No.

It should be said that she chose to accept it herself.

Because at that time there was obviously another choice, but she felt that she couldn't bear it, so she gave up.

After that, she could only watch helplessly as the man in armor and cloak broke into the palace, and then took her child away in an extremely brutal way.

It was always a pain for her.

Because this not only means that the mother and child who were supposed to be connected are now separated, it also proves her incompetence.

Because that man proved with practical actions that she couldn't keep her child at all.

Whether facing Elf's secret plan or the sage's plunder, she dared not have any thoughts of resistance.

And now, more than 20 years later.
