You and me under the world tree

So you don't understand...

After hearing Hilda say that, Siegfried just shook his head.

"Must win?"

When the word was mentioned, Siegfried just shook his head.

"My uncle once taught me one thing: There has never been an invincible warrior in this world, so winning or something is just a joke."

Speaking of this, a subtle sarcasm appeared on Siegfried's handsome face.

But soon, the taunt disappeared.

This expression would not stay on Siegfried's face for long at all, and in the end, it was replaced by a touch of solemnity.

"It's 'failure'."

"???"

Hilda couldn't understand what Siegfried said, but the doubt on her face quickly dissipated.

Because she felt a strong aura from Siegfried's body, it was like an unsheathed sword's edge.

Tried and tempered, reborn in the flames of war.

"Have you ever experienced 'failure'?"

After hearing this, Hilda couldn't help showing a trace of displeasure on her face, her strong self-esteem drove her to take Siegfried's words as a challenge.

After all, she is not the kind of person who can bury all the secrets in her heart, she can't hide her expression at all.

But Siegfried didn't say much about it.

"Compared to words, I want to prove it with practical actions, maybe it's better!"

'boom'

Siegfried stepped on the ground, and he rushed directly towards Hilda.

Along the way, Her Royal Highness even felt the ground shaking, and the petals in the garden even exploded, forming a rain of flowers all over the sky.

However, at this moment, Hilda couldn't pay attention to anything else, because Siegfried had already rushed in front of her.

The aura emanating from the young hero completely overwhelmed her, and she even found it difficult to raise the sword.

Then, in front of Hilda, Siegfried chopped off the blade in his hand.

'clang'

Accompanied by the ringing of metal, the hero directly sent the princess flying.

Chapter 47: Siegfried's Advice

lost...

When Hilda felt that she fell directly to the ground, such thoughts appeared in her mind.

Because long before the 'combat', the two sides have set the rules for the outcome: the loss of combat power by one of them means the end of the duel.

And now, she is.

After being chopped off by Siegfried's sword, and her whole body fell into the flowers like a stone, she felt her body whine.

Let alone the weapon, she even lost the strength to stand up at this moment.

This is not due to lack of physical strength.

In fact, as a descendant of giants, as a child of human and giant hybrids, her physical strength should be far stronger than normal people.

In this regard, I am afraid that even Volsung's heirs are inferior.

But, the fact is, she lost the power to 'stand up'.

And the reason is simple: she is afraid.

Even though Siegfried did not choose to pursue at this moment, but looked at her from a distance, she could still clearly feel the feeling in her heart.

worrying and nervous……

For some reason, when Siegfried rushed over with his sword, Hilda didn't have any thoughts in his mind.

That strong momentum and the killing intent that seemed to exist only proved one thing:

she will die!

He didn't know the reason or the result, but at that time, Hilda really felt a strong killing intent.

She even had the feeling that she would die if she couldn't take that blow.

But now, after blocking that blow with great difficulty, she no longer has the idea of ​​continuing to fight for victory.

Because she knew she had lost.

Moreover, it wasn't at the moment when Siegfried flew away, in fact, when he attacked with great momentum without hesitation, Hilda knew he had lost.

Because at that moment, she felt fear.

"Damn..."

In the end, she couldn't help feeling a strong sense of humiliation in her heart.

Lost!

I actually lost!

Depression called resentment could not help appearing from the bottom of her heart, and even anger could not help appearing on her face.

However, this anger is not directed at Zieg, but at himself.

She was actually timid.

"Understood?" Seeing Hilda sitting on the ground without getting up, Siegfried said.

The gap between her and him is here.

Siegfried has experienced actual combat, but she has not. The so-called duels and life-and-death fights are completely two different things.

However, this is only one aspect.

"Looking at you like this, it should be the first time you have experienced 'failure', right?" He said

In fact, there is no need to ask more about this point. When Hilda didn't get up for a long time, he understood this point.

Gripper may have given Hilda the best education, but he couldn't teach her this by precept and example.

But in fact, Griple is not incapable of teaching.

After all, he himself is not a smooth king. He who inherited the throne when Iceland was invaded and almost all his family members died, he must have his own perception of "setbacks".

But even so, Hilda didn't seem to have suffered any losses from childhood to adulthood, which made her develop her proud and arrogant character.

This can only be said: After all, she is a daughter, let alone an only daughter.

Griple had only one daughter, and after his wife died, of course he devoted all his love to his daughter.

Hilda can be strict with himself, that's no problem, but Gripal is not willing to let his children be half wronged.

It can only be said that Hilda has not been raised as a bear child so far, it can only be said that she is sensible.

Looking at the mixed expression of anger and bewilderment on the face of the Icelandic princess, Siegfried couldn't help but think of a word:

pampered...

Although Her Royal Highness seems to have nothing to do with this term, it is actually the case.

If Griple hadn't spoiled her, if the Kingdom of Iceland hadn't been so peaceful, her mentality and temper would definitely not be as 'childish' as ​​they are now.

"From small to large, I don't think you have taken any 'pressure'?"

"no!"

When Siegfried mentioned this, Hilda seemed to have finally recovered from the previous state of being absent-minded.

She quickly denied this, and even, with her mood and character, she seemed to take it as a mockery.

"You don't know anything!"

"You are the one who doesn't understand anything!" After hearing what Hilda said, Siegfried just replied.

The young dragon slaying hero just casually stabbed the sharp sword in his hand into the ground, and his eyes just swept down, looking down at the other party.

"Inheriting a kingdom? Answering questions from others? Gender, that's all there is to it."

Compared with the pressure Siegfried himself was under, the pressure Hilda faced was nothing.

This is not to step on each other, but the fact.

Although the pressure of inheriting the kingdom is great, Hilda has a basic plan at least.

Her father is still alive and in good health. As long as Hilda continues to work hard in this direction, not to mention the wise king who has expanded the territory, at least it will be no problem to keep his father's inheritance.

In comparison, Siegfried faced greater pressure.

He has nothing of his own, and there are far more enemies than he imagined. He is not willing to be a chess piece, and he is destined to be an enemy of everything around him.

Although with the help of his uncle, huge pressure has been on his shoulders. The so-called pressure on both sides is not at the same level.

"Give up unnecessary dignity and pride, admit inadequacy, admit failure, and prepare for the possibility of 'failure' before doing anything."

This is Siegfried's own feeling.

He is not simply relying on the elders, but is fully prepared.

He knew what kind of road was in front of him—this was a road that would lead to a deep abyss if he took a step back, and would be irreversible if he went astray.

And more importantly, it is prone to failure, and every action is fraught with risk.

This kind of pressure, this sense of oppression made Siegfried's mentality grow at an incredible speed.

Now he is not that kind of stupefied young man.

Stepping into the "Abyss" with momentary recklessness, and thinking about all the consequences, knowing that failure will be irreversible, still choose to step into the "Abyss", and move forward.

It's two things:

The former is stupidity, while the latter is enlightenment.

"Failure means 'death', do you have the awareness?" He said

dignity?pride?

No, this kind of thing is not necessary.

"Although this kind of thinking is not considered mainstream, in my opinion, honor, dignity, pride, these things are of no use, because these things will eventually be torn to pieces by the powerful gap in strength."

just like before...

Although Siegfried didn't say that, Hilda could understand what he was talking about.

This is not irony, but the fact that her competitiveness and so-called dignity can be easily shattered.

"Under the threat of your life, can you swing the weapon in your hand? What is supporting the battle, I suggest you calm down and think about it."

As for the conclusion, Siegfried needless to say, because if the answer is not obtained by relying on his own thinking, it is meaningless at all.

"Let's call it a day." Siegfried just scratched his head as he looked at Her Royal Highness who bowed her head and said nothing.

Is it too much to say?

Chapter 48: Beginning as a teacher

Siegfried didn't mean that he wanted to teach a newcomer like Hilda as a senior or teacher on a whim.

He did it for a reason, and the reason was old King Griple.

Thinking of this, Siegfried's expression became gloomy.

Although the old king of Iceland had always treated everything around him with a gentler attitude, the wisdom he showed made Siegfried feel extremely overwhelmed.

Originally, Siegfried felt that what he did was flawless.

He showed no impatience, and stayed here for quite a while like an ordinary guest.

And now, it has been almost a month.
