You and me under the world tree

In addition, because of the distance, the Gothic Kingdom directly used the Rhine River as a channel to sell grain at normal prices.

As for the Kingdom of Gitland, it also provided support.

The reason is because of one word: loyalty.

Siegfried, Lord of Armies, brought back the body of the missing great hero Siamar from the northern seas. No matter how many internal agreements were reached, at least on the surface, the Kingdom of Gitland provided assistance out of gratitude. , and reached a commercial trade agreement.

Later, because Hagen, who came from Burgundy's Tronpage, held a high position in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Burgundy showed favor to the future king on this basis.

Although the Kingdom of Burgundy did not make a choice immediately because of Siegfried's series of confusing operations, but because of Hagen's matchmaking, they finally took the last train.

In addition, Siegfried is indeed rich, and now that he holds the treasure of the evil dragon and his father's inheritance, it is impossible for him to owe any national debts.

With such a generous start-up capital, the start of the entire Netherlands is simply beyond the imagination of others.

Under such circumstances, the Kingdom of the Netherlands today lacks nothing.

The Kingdom of Norway has thus missed the opportunity to 'send charcoal in the nick of time'.

If there is no way to establish a better relationship, they can only establish a relatively good atmosphere as much as possible after all.

If Nanna can get on the line with Siegfried smoothly, and even stand out among many "well-matched" girls, then the Netherlands will not be able to directly declare war on Norway to a certain extent.

The pirate queen Hervale, who is part of the current Netherlands army, wants to attack Norway, so Siegfried has to bear the infamy of 'broken promise'.

Of course, this is indeed the best situation.

but……

"Nanna, try this."

Just as Nanna's eyes kept turning around the distinguished guests at the banquet, Hilda's voice came from her ear.

"Ok?"

Then, just as she turned her head, Hilda smiled and handed a piece of honey pastry to her mouth.

She didn't reach out to pick it up either, she just opened her mouth subconsciously, just like before.

"Although the level of chefs in the palace is good, it's the same for us, but this one is really delicious."

"Um……"

Listening to her best friend chattering about these trivial matters in her ear, Nanna just nodded slowly.

The honey pastry tasted sweet, which relieved a lot of the pressure in her heart.

At this moment, Hilda is like a chatterbox. Everything she says is related to the Netherlands without exception, and almost subconsciously, these topics can be transferred to Siegfried.

However, it is different from the image of the "God of War" circulated by the outside world.

In Hilda's words, Siegfried seemed to have been stripped of all his aura, and became a shy boy who was slightly reckless and flawed.

However, Nanna understood that this was the truest appearance of the young king sitting on the throne today.

Quite different from those who are attracted by the hero's youthful good looks and fame.

Then Nanna glanced at the princess who was sitting at the table opposite her.

She has a charming face, long soft hair hanging on her sides, and the gold ornaments and gems on her body are shining at this moment.

But, after all, the so-called beauty cannot be piled up with pure dressing.

In front of a real beauty, no matter whether it is gold jewelry or gemstones, they can only be reduced to a foil, and that woman is like this.

Her eyes are better than gems, and her skin is like jade.

The talking eyes have been staring at the young king on the throne.

Princess of Burgundy, sister of King Gunter, a woman as beautiful as the great rose garden in Phnom Penh in Worms: Krimhild.

"Hilda."

"Ok?"

"You like Siegfried, don't you?"

"Cough cough cough..."

After hearing Nanna suddenly mentioning this in a low voice, Her Highness the Princess of Iceland coughed suddenly, and the pastry that was stuck in her throat suddenly coughed into small pieces.

This couldn't help but make her feel even more uncomfortable.

"You... cough, what are you talking about?"

Chapter One Hundred and Eleven: The Heart of a Woman

Hilda's movement was not small, and she was originally the woman sitting on the first seat under the throne, so when she desperately started coughing, this kind of movement immediately attracted most people's attention.

Of course, in the final analysis, it was because amidst the melodious and brisk banquet music, this coughing sound was too noisy, even no less than scratching a blackboard with fingernails.

At this moment, not only Hilda, but even Nanna became the focus of attention.

Although according to the tradition of the atrium banquet, the seats are completely random and there is no distinction at all, but the characters here are all well-known figures from various kingdoms after all.

Either nobles, lords or the royal family of the kingdom.

Although the atmosphere in the atrium is generally bold and unrestrained, the heroic banquets described by the bards are always full of meat-eating, drinking and even singing war songs.

But there is always a little difference between reality and those stories and legends.

Especially in a scene where nobles from all over the world gather together, no matter how bold the warrior is, he will slightly restrain his indulgent posture.

Not because of anything else, because in such an occasion, they represent the face of the monarch they are loyal to, and even their own camp.

In such a situation, no brainer would remain calm.

Guys who can't keep their cool won't even be brought to the party at a time like this.

This is true for men, let alone women.

Although this has never been an expressly stipulated rule, in fact, during the period before and after the enthronement ceremony, most of the envoys sent by various kingdoms are mainly women.

As for the reason, it is of course because this extremely young hero who is in a high position has never been married until now.

They didn't say much on the surface, but they sent the beautiful princess in the kingdom here. As for the purpose, everyone knew it.

Naturally, these beautiful princesses are not lacking in scheming people, but there are also people who are intoxicated and yearn for a dreamlike love like the bards sang.

But no matter what, they have only one purpose: try to show their charm and nobility.

Even if they can't win the heart of Siegfried, the lord of the Netherlands, they can settle for the next best thing.

In fact, to some extent, this is also a kind of high-level blind date.

All the characters present are the most outstanding young talents in the world.

And above this level of banquet, any act of disrespect is a shameful act.

For example, like Hilda...

There was nothing royally educated about her constant coughing and patting her chest.

Moreover, because her seat is actually sitting on the first seat below the throne, which happens to be directly opposite Krimhild.

At this moment, the princess of Burgundy showed a subtle expression.

In fact, she was also observing Hilda before.

But to be precise, it wasn't just Hilda who she observed, she also observed every woman at the banquet.

In terms of appearance, she was sure that she had enough advantages over most people, but the two women of the same status sitting across from her had a different temperament.

Even, compared to the Norwegian princess who seemed to have no assertiveness and was kneaded like a sponge, the capable woman was more threatening.

But now, the imaginary enemy in her mind seemed to 'explode' just like that.

At this moment, Krimhild wanted to laugh inexplicably.

However, in order not to show any gaffe in front of her sweetheart, she just raised the wine glass in her hand and drank it slowly.

At this moment, Nanna felt a little regretful.

She felt that she had said the wrong thing.

Although this seemed to her to be a certain fact, Hilda obviously would not admit it directly.

If she hadn't said that directly, she wouldn't be so embarrassing now.

At the moment when those people at the banquet cast their eyes involuntarily, she felt her face was getting hot.

She even wanted to find a hole and bury her head in it.

However, what you think in your heart and how you act now are two different things.

Even though she felt inexplicably upset and flustered, she still quickly handed her a glass of juice to her friend.

After receiving the juice, Hilda drank it too, and finally swallowed the soft pastry stuck in his throat.

"Huh..." She took a deep breath, and then looked at her best friend with a slightly reproachful gaze.

Although she didn't say anything, her eyes seemed to respond.

I do not have……

This was almost her subconscious instinctive response.

However, when this kind of response is mixed with a touch of shame and anger, its authenticity will inevitably arouse doubts from others.

Maybe Hilda, who was the person involved, couldn't figure it out yet, but Nanna felt that she could see it clearly.

At the same time, there was a touch of unhappiness in her heart.

envy……

She was jealous of the man named Siegfried, so she got together with her best friend.

"You are different from me, Hilda."

Under the table where no one could see, Nanna stretched out her hand, and she grabbed her best friend's hand.

"Hilda, you have the full right to choose, you seem to be a good match, so you must..."

"belch……"

Then, just as Nanna was whispering like this, she heard a hiccup in her ear.

Right in front of her, although her good best friend covered her mouth, a sweet smell of honey hit her face.

"How many desserts have you eaten?"

"It's delicious, so eat more." Facing Nanna's accusation, Hilda smiled.

At this moment, the smile on her face was extremely pleasant.

Of course, it seemed to accentuate her peculiar roughness.

Obviously because of the inexplicable cough before, her position here has become the focus of everyone.

But she didn't seem to care at all.

After all, there is no need to care about anything...

At this point, the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Iceland swept over.

At this moment, her eyes were like a sharp sword, making most people choose to retreat.

It even includes Krimhild.

No matter what, she is just a princess in a deep boudoir, although she knows a little bit of strategy and politics.

However, after all, she has family members who share the responsibility for her.

The elder brother, Gunter, inherited the throne. Although he is still training, his father, King Jibishi, has not yet reached the point where his eyesight is dim.

As for the other elder brother Gael Nott is also an extremely powerful warrior.

Whether it is external or internal, she never needs to worry about these things.

However, Hilda is different. After all, she has seen blood, she has been on the battlefield!

It is precisely because of the baptism of war that she understands a truth that she has never understood before: fists determine words.

Therefore, she never needs to respond to the expectations of others.

In the absence of any appeals, she doesn't need to worry about face!
