You and me under the world tree

She fell to her knees.

"Please, don't impose these heavy burdens on him, he has no obligation to bear them."

Chapter 77: Why Weak?

In fact, the current Sage and Queen is already close to the exit outside the city.

Indistinctly, sunlight shone into the secret passage, giving the gloomy road a warm glow.

However, in this dark corner close to the glow, the seemingly powerless queen burst into tears.

"He should have his own life, should have the right to choose his own life, he should be more ordinary."

No, in fact, at this time, Theotis wanted to say far more than that.

What she really wanted to express was actually something else:

Her children must be ordinary.

This is the hope in her heart.

If he is not ordinary, it means that he will achieve something in the future, and once he achieves something, he will definitely be famous.

Brave, hero, king.

Fame, status, wealth.

At this moment, the only thing Theotis felt in his heart was the lingering coldness.

Maybe a long time ago, she also had expectations for the future for her children.

She also had this expectation after the sage confirmed through magic that the child in her belly must be a boy.

She expects her child to be a strong hero like his father and her husband.

But these expectations are nothing more than naive ideas.

After going through the pain that was nothing less than earth-shattering for her, she found that it all led to such pain.

Ordinary is fine.

No, it should be said that it is the best!

With such thoughts in mind, Theotis stroked his stomach.

Then she looked up again.

At this moment, a trace of hope could not help but emerge on her tear-stained face.

She knew that she couldn't do anything by herself, even if the maid was still by her side, she couldn't do anything.

Here, it is the man in front of him who has the power and ability to decide these things.

As long as he is willing to change his words, as long as he has expectations in this regard.

"He doesn't need to bear the obligations of those fathers. He hasn't enjoyed anything, so why should he bear these."

With such thoughts in mind, Theotis said so.

She was so emotional that she even started talking incoherently.

"The Netherlands can be handed over to you."

Finally, she confided these words.

"If you really can't let go of this land, it can be handed over to you."

All of a sudden, in the dark secret passage only one step away from the sun, the young queen spoke these words.

"You are a member of Volsung's family, and you should also have the right to inherit the throne."

Then, Theotis lowered his head deeply.

She stroked her stomach first, then hugged her arms.

It looks a little cold.

I don't know whether it's a cold heart or a cold weather.

"The whole kingdom can be yours."

This is the power and inheritance that belong to a kingdom.

As far as the legal system is concerned, as the mother of the unborn prince and the only remaining queen of the royal family, she can completely exercise some powers on behalf of her children.

And if she renounces the right of inheritance, then this power will fall on other people of the same clan.

Although according to the order, the next heir in line should be his brothers and sisters.

Following this kinship, the right of succession was gradually extended.

However, Siegmund no longer has brothers and sisters.

But now, the only surviving Volsung family is the man he met when he was young: Hodder.

And if the sage is an ordinary person who values ​​power, maybe he will really be attracted by this condition.

This is simply the right time, place and people.

If he is ambitious, he should think of a way to make things easier for the queen at this time.

However, he is not that kind of person.

Moreover, what Theotis said was more like an insult than a temptation.

"You think I care about this?"

Just when Theotis looked up expectantly, what she saw was the cold helmet.

And in the gap of the helmet, those cloudy eyes seemed to be stirring a cold vortex called madness.

"You think I care about power and status?"

"I……"

At this moment, the Queen's complexion suddenly became stiff.

She looked pale.

"I……"

"I have known him for more than forty years, Theotis, don't use your kind of thinking to speculate on me."

"..."

At this moment, the young queen obviously wanted to respond to this, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say a word.

Because she has nothing to say.

Although she felt that she should be able to say something, it was just her wishful thinking after all.

She has her own ideas.

But why doesn't he have his own wish?

"Tell me, Theotis, do you really love him?"

"?!"

Suddenly, the question reverberated.

And when he heard this question, Theotis' slightly red and swollen eyes suddenly widened.

"You're questioning me..."

"Hmph, it's not a question, it's just that your performance disappoints me, because you don't even have the thought of resisting."

Leaning against the wall, the sage spoke calmly.

However, this calm does not mean calm.

Because it's like the breathless calm before the storm.

It seems that the next moment, that kind of madness will pour out.

He tried to speak several times, but only took a deep breath.

In the end, he restrained his emotions.

"You don't seem to have ever considered the content of revenge. To you, it seems that other people died, and you were just running for your life."

Then, the sage's words finally detonated the pain in Theotis' heart.

Like a spark falling in a powder keg that was full, the anger rose straight up.

"What do you know! The gods have abandoned him, they chose the Hengding family, and there is no way to defy this choice."

"Irresistible..."

It's like hearing something funny.

The sage suddenly raised his head.

'boom'

His metal helmet hit the wall directly.

"What stupid things are you talking about..."

"That's why you don't understand anything. As a warrior of the Volsong clan, you have never experienced the feeling of being abandoned by the gods. You have always been chosen and favored warriors."

Be favored?

After hearing these words, even Huo De, who was looking back on this memory, couldn't help but have those indescribable feelings.

At the same time, he couldn't help recalling those things.

Some scenes seem to be engraved in my mind.

"It's her own choice, Hodder."

In the burning castle, the woman smiles in the flames.

"Teacher, I'm so cold."

In the icy palace, the young warrior gradually became icy, and no one could save him.

There is even a brave warrior with a strong temperament destroyed by a cup of poisoned wine, and killed in the court he trusted.

Going back even further, there was also the case of a whole family being slaughtered.

After all, has the Volsung family really been favored?

"Favour..."

In the end, the sage just chewed the word slowly, without any emotion.

"You call these favors?"

"It's impossible for you to understand. The gods once cared for Norway. I can only watch my father and elder brother leave one by one. It is impossible for them to stop them."

At this moment, the queen seemed to be awakened by some kind of cold and cruel memory.

She folded her arms and shivered.

"It is impossible to succeed in revenge, impossible..."

But this lovable aspect of hers failed to arouse any sympathy.

Even from the perspective of Hodder now.

Even, he was still a little angry.

"Then why have you been so weak until now?"

The sage asked coldly.
