Rhine Stories

Proposal.

For Hagen VonTronje, that was something that he couldn't do even if he was killed.

But love is so unexpected, only met once, Hagen has been thinking about it.

Even though she is not the most beautiful girl in Worms, without Clinsid's perishing wild goose and Queen Brunnhild's blushing beauty, her simple way of life is completely different from other girls who pursue beauty , and eager to learn, she was deeply loved by everyone in the court, and Queen Ute even loved her as a goddaughter.

Costebella, I heard this name from the words of my younger brother Dankwatt after that meeting.

Because he and Siegfried are the only ones in the city who never pay attention to such things as being in love, Hagen will inevitably feel very depressed when he realizes it.

"Brother is going to confess??"

In a blink of an eye, a magnified face appeared in sight. It was Dankwart, Hagen's younger brother, who was too surprised. Now he was pressing in front of him and asking, "Who is the other party? I didn't know that brother, you actually have someone you like!"

"Don't be so loud, will you? You want the whole of Worms to know?"

Hagen immediately showed a look of embarrassment, but he still tried his best to restrain Dankwatt and told him to be quiet, "I know that my best friend Siegfried cannot help me make up my mind in this regard, That's why I came here to ask you."

"Ask me? Why?...Now that Worms is just you two love idiots and me, a single boy, staying alone in the vacant room, you don't ask Volquet and the others to ask me? And His Royal Highness, he put Our queen has 'surrendered'."

"Hey, what's the nickname for a love idiot?"

Hearing this, Hagen raised his eyebrows unnaturally, and pushed his younger brother away.

In fact, when I first came to Worms, it was Dankwatt who got along with the people around me for the first time, while Hagen followed Kunt silently and started to contact outsiders. Therefore, if Tronje's twins are here Whoever lives well in Burgundy must be Dankwatt and not himself.

"You...don't you also hang around among those girls and women all day long?"

As he spoke, Hagen also felt a little embarrassed.

"That's because brother, you are too serious, you hardly smile."

After all, Dankwatt shook his fiery red hair, pinched his chin and said, "But since you asked me sincerely, I will give you a suggestion-laugh, no girl likes to look at a picture all day A cold face that doesn't change, you know?"

"……laugh?"

Involuntarily, Hagen looked away, looked at the ground half-believingly, and muttered in a low voice, "Is this enough?"

"Yeah, because my brother's appearance is too scary. If you don't act relaxed, it's easy to scare the girl away."

"..."

At this time, Hagen frowned slowly, and after a long while, he turned to Dankwatt, grinned hard and asked, "Is this... so?"

"..."

But Dankwatt in front of him suddenly stopped moving, not only that, but also stayed there for a long time, "...No."

Then, his small voice rang out. Although the red-haired and red-eyed Worms knight in front of him was exactly the same as himself, any expression on his face was very natural, unlike Hagen, "I'm not hitting your brother... you The current appearance is terrifying, let’s just give up.”

After finishing speaking, Dankwat raised his hand and smoothed the curvature of Hagen's mouth, "Do you still remember that when you went to see the uncle of another country a while ago, the daughter of the other country turned pale with fright when she heard that she was going to give you a kiss."

"Am I really that scary?"

But Hagen couldn't believe it at this time, and even raised his hand to touch his face, unable to tell what it was like.

Regardless of his appearance, Costebella is indeed a good girl, and Hagen also sincerely wants to pursue her, but no matter what the result is, Hagen wants to leave the decision to that girl, as for himself... If It is indeed difficult to change your personality because of love.

"But brother...you really like her, right?"

At this time, Dankwart's probing words came from his ears. Hagen was startled for a while, and then didn't speak. After a while, he nodded silently without making a sound.

"Then what should I do? If that girl has something she likes, you can also start by giving gifts."

Speaking of this, Dan Kewat paused for a while, and suddenly denied: "No, no, according to your awkward personality, it is possible to send a gift to a girl to marry someone else. Just be more direct and write a love song for her. .”

"Love... love song...?"

Suddenly, Hagen felt that his head was empty and he could not think of anything. As the confidant of His Majesty Gunter and the Burgundy Arsenal Secretary, his thoughts were full of those martial arts and military trifles, and what he came into contact with on weekdays was even more A warrior who shed blood on the battlefield, so it is simply unrealistic for him to suddenly forward the text now.

"No... It looks like I'll forget it, Dankwatt, just pretend you didn't hear what you said just now."

At this point, Hagen finally understood that he was hopeless, so he bid farewell to Dankwat with a blank face, and decided to go to the camp to do his own business.

"Brother... Brother? Don't give up!"

And although Dankwart knew that his brother's love life would not be smooth sailing, he still hoped that Hagen would not miss the opportunity of happiness. After all, it must be a rare girl in the world to have a girl who makes Hagen fall in love with him.

——"A few days later, the palace courtyard

"..."

Siegfried's consciousness didn't know why he suddenly walked away. He just watched the Burgundy princess in front of him concentrate on weaving the wreath, and he unknowingly relaxed and looked at her quietly.

Since defeating the Saxons, I have spent more and more time alone with Princess Clinesed, and my brother-in-law seems to intend to let me stay in the court more, and now I won’t let him go out of the city—after all, once I meet some people on the road He asked for help, and Siegfried couldn't refuse.

But for a soldier, the peaceful days in front of him are not enough to satisfy him, but Siegfried is somewhat grateful for this "gift" just thinking of being able to look at Klinesed more often.

Before he knew it, the princess in front of him had raised his head, the golden pupils watching him shrank slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, which was very natural.

"Siegfried, look."

At this time, Clinesed put the wreath in her hand on her head, moved closer to herself and said, "Does this look good?"

Her jet-black hair was dotted with pure white petals, like a crown, even if it was not as good as those made of gold, but Kleinshid in front of him made Siegfried unable to look away, "...um."

And he just responded gently, without any fuss.

"Then this is for you!"

Just as Clinesid was talking, the innocent and romantic Burgundian princess picked a flower from the flowers around her and pinned it to Siegfried's ear, "Because your hair is white, so the yellow flowers It will suit you very well!"

"Thank you."

However, he is really not good at words. Siegfried usually talks to Clinesed, and there is no more than ten words in a sentence, but fortunately Clinesed doesn't mind, and on the contrary is very willing to get close to him.

"Could it be that if you stay in the palace, you should rest for a few more days. Even a great hero is made of flesh and blood."

As she said that, Klinesed lowered her head and held Siegfried's sword hand. She held it carefully, and then slowly squeezed it tightly, but in the end she played with Siegfried's palm again, thinking Despite the palm-sized gap, he didn't pay attention to Siegfried at all.

But Siegfried remained motionless, letting Kleinshi pull himself, but after a long time, he would feel a little unnatural, after all, it was the first time he had spent such a long time with the opposite sex, and it was Worms in front of him. A beautiful princess who is loved by everyone, so just like when he slayed a dragon, he also did it for a little vanity, Siegfried did not deny that he had taken the initiative to take the initiative.

It's just that Siegfried himself is not sure whether it is worth having this feeling. After all, Siegfried wants to do more for others than he wants to marry a wife. Betroth her to someone else, and I will sincerely bless her.

Involuntarily, Siegfried tightened his hand without realizing it, but just happened to hold Klinesed, which made her stunned.

"……sorry."

But Siegfried quickly released it as if he had made a mistake, retracted it, and turned his gaze to Biechu again, until he heard Clinesed say 'it's all right' before looking at her again.

"That... Chigurh—"

"His Royal Highness Clinesed."

At this time, a clear and gentle voice came out from not far away. Although the dress of the chestnut-haired girl was not as gorgeous as that of Clinesed, her plain clothes did not lower the splendor of the palace. On the contrary, she was somewhat elegant and indifferent. No wonder That man in the Arsenal would have fallen for her so much.

"Sorry to bother you, but Her Royal Highness is looking for you, princess."

"Costbella?"

As soon as she turned her head, Klinesed looked as excited as if she saw her own sister. She immediately stood up, patted the grass clippings on her body, and said goodbye to Siegfried: "Then I will excuse you first." , Siegfried."

"Ah."

And Siegfried just watched Ute's beautiful girl, watching her and Costebella go further and further away, he couldn't help but focus on that beautiful figure until he looked back—"Hagen... ...?"

"...!"

At this time, Hagen was half hidden in the bushes, and half of his body was stretched out. He looked as if he was about to avoid something, or he suddenly wanted to look at something from behind the bushes, "Ah... Siegfried, the princess is gone." ?"

"……As you can see."

At this moment, Siegfried didn't think much about it, but when he answered, seeing Hagen's pensive look, he stood up slowly, "Hagen, are you feeling unwell?"

"I don't, I'm fine."

After all, Hagen simply stood up from the bushes, but before he had time to pat off the leaves on his body, he said solemnly: "Volquet said that we want our Worms warriors to gather in the hall at night, if you have time Shall we go together?"

"I also can."

And Siegfried's answer at this time completely left the choice to Hagen. After all, he didn't think so much, and he never planned time for himself. All actions were followed by others.

"..."

But at this time, Hagen suddenly fell silent, changed the subject instead, and didn't beat around the bush at all, "Let me tell you, Siegfried, you...do you think that when a person has someone he likes, how can he make the other person like you?" Know?"

Immediately, Hagen's question resulted in Siegfried's silence. Of course, Hagen himself wanted to try his luck, but the result can be imagined.

"Sorry, I'm not very clear, so I don't know."

"Then...then it's not...it's nothing."

At this time, Hagen felt that he was completely useless, but he quickly thought of Gunter, but if this matter was told, the entire Worms would know about it.

No... Absolutely, absolutely not to go to His Majesty Gunter.

Thinking of this, Hagen sighed lightly, and asked Siegfried to go to the martial arts field together.

"Then if it's all right, why don't you go to discuss it?"

"Well, even if you don't say so, I'm planning to go there."
