You and me under the world tree

"Are you also looking for the great rose garden in Tyrol?"

"Ah this?"

But before Walter could proficiently say the words he had practiced hundreds of times, he heard such a dumbfounding answer.

"Great rose garden in Tyrol?"

This legend has always been popular, so in addition, he is also from the Grimes area, so he quickly reacted.

"What does this have to do with the great rose garden of the dwarves?"

"Ah, sorry."

Seeing that he seemed to have guessed wrong, the hotel owner hurriedly apologized.

"It's just that some people were looking for the big rose garden in Tyrol before, so I thought that legend became popular again."

"Are there still such people in this world?"

He didn't have any doubts about the hotel owner's words, and Walter just frowned subconsciously.

"Hundreds of years have passed, and there are no traces of that rose garden until now. It is whimsical to look for it now anyway."

After casually labeling the two adventurers mentioned by the hotel owner, Walter shook his head naturally.

"To be honest, we escaped."

"Escape... ah."

After noticing Wittig in the wheelchair, the boss just nodded understandingly.

"It's not easy for anyone these days."

He sighed.

"To be honest, if it wasn't..."

"Ok?"

"No, nothing."

Seeing that his nagging seems to have attracted the attention of the three guests, the hotel owner directly shook his head.

"It's just that please be careful in any case recently, it's not peaceful after all."

The hotel owner seemed to mean something, but Walter just frowned and didn't give any positive response.

"Ah, um."

He just nodded slowly, and then paid for a large room.

In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, the three of them are not suitable for room sharing.

But before they went upstairs, they heard some familiar voices.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

A little girl holding a ball ran back from the outside.

"I am back!"

"Ah, just come back, sit down, grandpa will help you make something to eat."

After seeing the smile on his granddaughter's face, the hotel owner straightened his previously bent back.

But when he saw the young girl and the old man who looked a bit frail, Walter just sighed in a low voice.

He vaguely understood something.

"At this time, there must be no business in the hotel. The old man should also want to leave here."

"He won't leave because it's dangerous for an old man to take such a young girl."

"Ok, I know."

Listening to his best friend's response, Walter just nodded.

"We have to go out for a while, before that..."

"Ah! It's the uncle from before!"

Before finishing speaking, the girl holding the ball exclaimed.

Then, she just ran over.

Although she was tired from playing, her cheeks were still flushed.

A pair of big eyes even sparkle.

"uncle!"

she called.

As for this, Walter just bent down slightly and touched her little head lightly.

"Gilda!"

At the same time, the old man's voice suddenly sounded.

The old man walked out of the kitchen just like this, and he happened to see this scene, and he couldn't help being speechless.

"This……"

"grandfather!"

After hearing her grandfather's call, the beautiful little girl bounced back to her grandfather's side.

"Grandpa, this uncle helped me before!"

"Ah, that's right."

After hearing his granddaughter's immature words, the old hotel owner couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you, young man."

"this is nothing."

Walter just responded politely.

He didn't take this opportunity to communicate with them, but he and Irmin lifted Wittig's wheelchair and carried the man with limited mobility to the second floor.

"If possible, please make some food, we will rest here for the night."

Because of the payment, Walter was not too polite.

After giving some instructions, he pushed Wittig's wheelchair.

They entered the room he had reserved, and then he sealed the room.

Then found a chair and sat down.

"This is for you."

However, just when he looked up, he saw Wittig throw out two rune stones.

The exquisite runes engraved on it shone with radiance.

"This is……"

"I use this one when I travel by myself. One piece is used to completely hide my figure and block the vision of others, and the other piece is used to hinder other people's perception."

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course, the latter can guarantee your normal communication with other people, but it won't let others remember you. You can use this thing to explore the city, but don't go inside the palace."

Wittig spoke.

"Whether they are lords or nobles, they may not understand magic, but they must know the existence of magic, and they will have certain coping methods more or less, so don't startle the snake."

"Well, there is actually no need to go inside the palace."

"Ok?"

At this moment, Wittig couldn't help but slightly opened his eyes.

He watched Walter, and the young man just let out a long sigh of relief.

"I still have a little bit of memory in my mind... although I don't like it."

Chapter 10: The Night of the Assassination

Walter's words sounded a bit unbelievable at first, but thinking about his identity and bloodline, this matter is not so strange.

"That's right, you are an illegitimate child after all, and it's normal to live there for a while."

Wittig put a hand on his forehead.

Then, he involuntarily yawned.

He was like this all the time, and somehow he felt tired.

And this kind of exhaustion is not purely mental exhaustion, the flesh is indeed whining.

It's almost like entering the aging period ahead of time.

He understands that he needs to rest.

But now is not the time to sleep, there should be one more thing that needs to be answered.

"However, you also said that you left the palace when you were very young and were brought to live in Vasgenstein by your mother. It has been so long now, and your memory should be a little fuzzy."

Did not deliberately avoid this problem, Wittig said directly.

After hearing his words, Walter's expression was unavoidably ugly.

For him, the memories of life in the palace are really not very good, after all, his mother's status is not noble.

And in this Midgard, the identity of the illegitimate child is actually quite controversial.

There is no other reason, because the human marriage tradition is monogamous, and an illegitimate child means a disorderly life.

But what is quite interesting is that people have little criticism when facing those who hold real power.

Even, if they are famous, they can glorify it into some kind of love affair.

However, this beautification will not benefit other people.

Because in this Midgard, cheating or something does not conform to the universal morality on the surface.

No matter how much you whitewash and cover up, it can't change its essence.

Therefore, under the premise of not wanting to offend the king, the lord, or the nobles, they will push all the crimes on the woman.

They will not think that it is the lord's own problem, but that the maid is trying to seduce the king to rise to power.

And Walter lived in the court bearing the name of such a woman's child.

So, what kind of treatment will they encounter?

Maybe not too bad, but the children's keen senses are filled with nightmarish surroundings.

Gossip definitely hurts their young hearts.

Moreover, after the father marries the real wife that Ming Media is marrying, the status of the illegitimate child will become more and more embarrassing.

It may even become a taboo-like existence.

Maybe it's inferiority, maybe it's hatred.

In short, for children who are prone to emotional extremes, gossip and inadvertent maliciousness are enough to break the bank.

And until now, there is a lingering shadow deep in Walter's heart.

But right now, that doesn't seem to be the important thing.

For Walter now, the shadow in his heart is actually just that.
