You and me under the world tree

Without much greeting, the court valet said.

"Your Majesty asked me to take Ms. Theotis directly to the garden. As for Mr. Half and Mr. Bodwall, you can rest in the side hall for a while."

"no problem."

Regarding this point, neither Harff nor Bodwall had any dissatisfaction.

Rather, even if Siegfried didn't give instructions in this regard, they would have to find a way to escape.

After all, the next thing has nothing to do with them, and it is even more difficult to participate in their capacity.

After all, no matter what, this is all the housework of the Lord of Armies.

"Then, Miss Theotis, please come with me."

The court valet spoke.

She randomly ordered two shield girls under her management.

"You guys are responsible for carrying the luggage."

Then, Theotis followed the maids up the stairs, and then walked into the interior.

She is not familiar with the current palace specifications, because many parts of this palace have been redesigned by the old dwarves.

Even though it was not the first time for her to come here, at that time, as a guest, she only stayed on the throne after all.

She is really not familiar with other places.

However, in the end it was different.

It was a straight staircase leading upwards, but this path made her feel as if it had spanned time.

The moment her legs and feet stepped up the stairs, she saw the sunlight shining down, and at the same time, the fragrance was slowly wafting.

It was floral.

And vaguely, she seemed to feel that she could see something.

Gradually, her footsteps became faster and faster, and the moment she reached the end of the stairs, the golden figure in the distance came into her eyes.

Under the shade of a huge tree, the warrior stood upright.

'crash'

Tree shadows sway.

Chapter 68: Always Going Home

At this moment, Theotis felt that time had stood still.

The giant Child Tree Barnstock is lush and lush, its shadow casts over the garden, shading the sun while dotting the land with spots of light.

There is a refreshing fragrance in the garden.

And even the legendary holy sword Gulam is still stuck on the branches of the huge tree.

Perhaps, there will be differences in terms of the details of the garden, but the center of the garden is the huge tree after all.

Even the entire Midgard has only this one.

The Children's Tree Barnstock!

It is undoubtedly an important part of the back garden of the palace, and it can even be said to be the center.

And because it itself is a huge jigsaw puzzle in Theotis' memory, and with this fragment, her thoughts are subconsciously filled with past memories.

But in her eyes, everything in front of her completely overlapped with her memory.

Tall trees, the holy sword on the trunk and the warrior standing in front of the tree.

Although in terms of life, that memory occupies a very small part.

She had only been married to Siegmund for a few years, and then encountered such a cruel thing.

She couldn't even give birth to the child in her womb, that man died on the battlefield just like that, and the kingdom centered on him was wiped out.

However, that memory is extremely clear.

It was really a very happy time, she didn't have to worry about her status in the court.

Thinking of this, Theotis couldn't help but feel his eyes sour.

At this moment, she was even thinking, what would have happened if those things hadn't happened?

Will she still be queen of the Netherlands?

And with Siegmund's strong physique, he should be able to live safely for more than 20 years.

Maybe, even at the age of nearly 90, he can still be alive and kicking.

And that kid Siegfried...

For a moment, Theotis' thoughts spread like this.

She stopped in front of this garden, her eyes circled here.

In the end, she didn't even know what she was thinking.

Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's pain.

She just stared at the beautiful and familiar scenery here with a complicated expression.

Finally, her eyes moved to the figure she should have noticed immediately.

That straight and straight warrior.

The sun shone through the shade and shone on him.

The golden hair seems to be shining.

How young and how brave.

How vibrant.

The temperament that emanates from the inside out and belongs exclusively to the young Lord of Armies, all of which can show his young age.

So, even the memories of the past have now overlapped with the reality.

Even though everything here can remind her of the past, the reality reminds her all the time that everything in her mind is over.

The man standing here now is not her former sweetheart and husband.

If it was Siegmund, the golden hair should be mixed with white hair.

With many complicated thoughts, Theotis was in a dilemma.

She didn't know if she should move on.

But it would be too stupid to back off.

And it doesn't follow the rules.

"Ma'am, it would be rude to continue standing here."

In the end, the maid on one side might not be able to see it too much, the court valet said in a low voice.

At the same time, she couldn't help but glance at the good sister next to her.

Also as a maid, it was obviously difficult for her to carry Theotis' large bag of luggage.

"Silly boy, this thing can be placed on the ground."

After quietly walking to her side, the valet whispered.

"But, isn't that rude?"

"There's no faux pas, it's just a thing of the past."

"However, she is His Majesty's mother, and also..."

"She won't be here long."

Naturally, the conversation between the maids would not be heard by others.

But inexplicably, Theotis instinctively felt a little uncomfortable when he noticed the movement on the side.

She obviously didn't know what she was talking about, but she always felt a little uneasy.

But no matter what, she finally took her footsteps.

She rubbed her hands together, revealing her uneasiness.

Unknowingly, she just walked under the shade of the tree.

She didn't dare to look up, because she knew that the child in front of her was watching her.

This feeling of blood connection is particularly strong.

But at the same time, what she didn't know was that Siegfried's expression was actually very complicated.

But unlike her bowed head, at least he had the courage to look at this woman directly.

"This should be our third meeting." He whispered.

And after hearing Siegfried's voice, Theotis seemed to forget all the complicated thoughts in his mind for a moment.

She was taken aback.

the third time?

In fact, in her memory, this should be the second time they met.

Although this made her feel uncomfortable, it was true.

The last time she saw this child was when he was about to ascend the throne.

It should be so.

But before she could respond, other words came from her ear.

"But of course, you probably don't remember the first time, because it was several years ago, when you were traveling as a queen with the Danish royal family, and I was watching you from the crowd."

"That is……"

Suddenly, the uneasiness in Theotis' heart became more and more serious.

"That is……"

She looked up, and what she saw was the handsome face of the young king.

"I can see that you were very happy at the time. After all, you had your own children and a husband who loved you."

"I……"

"It was also at that time that I realized that no one is indispensable."

Siegfried said in a low voice.

And those words lingered in Theotis' ears, making her at a loss.

She stared at Siegfried's handsome face, but she couldn't see any expression that satisfied her.

"I have considered many times, what kind of attitude should I use to treat you, saying that I hate you... Actually, it is not a big deal. The only thing that makes me feel a little uncomfortable is that even at that time, the news of my death spread throughout all the kingdoms. , and you have never taken any action."

"I just……"

"But it's just human nature. When I travel a lot, I realize that this is a very normal thing."

To put it bluntly, Theotis may care about Siegfried.

But at that time, the young soldier who died was obviously not as important as the position she had already controlled.

Conflict with your husband and children for this?

There is no need for that.

"But no matter what, I still thank you for bringing me into this world."

The Lord of Armies whispered.

Then, he turned around.

The only thing that caught the eyes of Theotis was the tall but strange figure from the back.

"You can stay here for a while. After that, I will specially arrange for someone to send you back to Iceland. People always want to go home."
