You and me under the world tree

But at the last moment, most of Otilia's thoughts dissipated.

The memories of the past were shredded and burned as fuel, and there was only a trace of guilt in her heart and a strong desire to survive.

In the end, the fear of death overwhelmed all emotions.

"No, I don't want to die!!! This kid is still young!!"

She became incoherent.

The boiling and burning flames reminded her of the scene she had just seen before.

The flesh and blood gradually melted, and the face began to rot.

Perhaps because someone had just died in the bedroom, Otilia even smelled a strange fragrance.

It's like a barbecue.

But it was the smell that made her want to vomit.

Eventually, the flames dissipated completely.

'bass'

Accompanied by the sound of metal, Otilia only felt that the sound rang directly in her ears.

Suddenly, she seemed to see two figures standing in front of her.

At the same time, the Howling Demon Sword in her daughter Dietrich's hand directly pierced the wall next to her.

She didn't dare to approach, nor did she dare to take any action.

She just raised her head desperately and stared straight ahead.

However, perhaps because the air was still hot, Her Highness could not help but feel her eyes sore at this moment.

And when the mirage-like distortion in her vision finally returned to normal, what she saw was still her daughter.

But at this moment, there was no flame burning on her armor, nor molten iron flowing.

What she was wearing seemed to be normal armor.

Naturally, in her usual style, it was naturally a ram armor engraved with Gothic eagle patterns and the royal family mark of the Amerungen family.

However, Otilia, as a mother, did not feel cordial because of the feeling of imminent death that she had only felt before.

For a moment, she couldn't even say anything.

The joy of being alive after the catastrophe, the fear of the flames and her own daughter.

These emotions are mixed together to form an unspeakable complex expression.

However, although she escaped, she looked extremely embarrassed.

Before that, when the high-temperature flames and long sword struck, her originally soft hair was roasted and curled.

At the same time, sweat completely drenched her long dress.

However, these are not important now, because she remembered the most important thing - that child.

She quickly lowered her head, and then gently shook Dieter Heier, who had been held in her arms.

Children are naturally extremely fragile.

Otilia herself could bear the heat, but Dieter Heil, who was awakened, was crying loudly.

Although the queen subconsciously protected the child, she had no other way to protect him.

At this time, she suddenly panicked.

"Eh……"

At this time, she couldn't make any sound, she just shook the child who seemed to have lost consciousness.

Then, the next moment, that weak, hoarse cry came from the child's mouth.

"Cough cough cough..."

At the same time, there was a series of coughing sounds.

Although he also endured the heat wave that hit his face, he was tortured enough.

But after seeing that the child was still conscious, Otilia suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

She just leaned against the wall and gasped for breath.

However, before she fully recovered her normal breathing, she thought of something again.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her head and stared at the soldier standing in front of her.

it was a girl...

Immediately afterwards, what she saw was the scarlet gaze under the helmet.

And this look inevitably made her flustered.

Because at this moment, what she saw in that gaze was resentment.

As for why the resentment, this is also very simple.

"why……"

Finally, facing Ottilia's panicked but complicated gaze, Dietrich spoke again.

But at this time, perhaps because of the cover of the helmet, her voice seemed extremely dull.

But even so, that sense of exhaustion was transmitted.

"You care about him, but why..."

Dietrich was clearly strong.

Because after experiencing great changes in her life and even the betrayal of her closest relatives, she still maintained her hard shell.

At least, she wasn't hysterical yet.

However, her voice was trembling and her words were incoherent.

"I am also your child, and my father has never been sorry to you, so why did you do such a thing?"

Just when her daughter questioned herself, Otilia was speechless.

"You are willing to stand in front of this child, but you want to put my father and me to death? How could this be?"

Eventually, Otilia just took a deep breath.

"He doesn't see me at all. Sifka cares about me, that's all."

Everything finally turned into such a discourse similar to Chunqiu's brushwork.

But then, a slow voice sounded:

"Show face, don't you like the new and dislike the old?"

Where did the sound come from?

Chapter 54: Fire

At the moment when the voice sounded, Otilia couldn't help but raise her head.

She looked around subconsciously, as if trying to find the source of the sudden male voice.

Finally, she realized that the voice seemed to come from her daughter.

To be precise, it was behind her.

And when she stared at her daughter, she saw that the air was almost shattered.

'Kara'

Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, traces of shattering appeared behind her.

And with this shattering, the illusion dissipated, replaced by a man.

It is also similar to black armor.

But it is completely different from Dietrich's ram armor, anyone who sees his armor will involuntarily put his eyes on his shoulders.

And that is the core decoration of the entire armor - the lifelike evil dragon head.

In fact, anyone with a little bit of aesthetics will think that evil dragons and rams are completely incompatible.

But at this moment, Otilia suddenly felt that the armor on the man and the woman seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

Not because of anything else, because the dull armor looks similar to the reddish dark shawl.

If there is any difference, it is probably that Dietrich is more gorgeous.

After all, no matter what, she is a symbol of a country.

When leading the army, she must dress more gorgeously, because only in this way can she be more eye-catching.

And on the battlefield, this kind of eye-catching is not only to attract the attention of the enemy, but also to give a mark to one's own fighters.

Always tell them where the 'prince' they are loyal to is.

Of course, in a real melee, the flag that is raised high is actually the same.

But right now, those things are never the point.

Ottilia has actually never been in touch with this aspect. Whether it was before becoming a queen or now, living in the hinterland of the Gothic Kingdom that has long since stabilized, she actually rarely touches the military.

Compared with this kind of little knowledge that only those who are in the army understand, Otilia only cares about one thing:

"Who the hell are you..."

That's right, that's all she cares about.

Although she vaguely knew what method the man used, but from the moment he spoke, she was not only concerned about the man himself.

It's what he said.

As for why she cared about that, though, that's another matter.

"It's just an ordinary person passing by."

"Ordinary people..."

After hearing the man's claim, Otilia obviously wanted to say something.

But in the end, she couldn't say anything.

Even at this moment, she suddenly felt a little funny.

Are there any ordinary people like you?

She actually wanted to refute like this, but from her own standpoint, she couldn't say anything to refute.

In the final analysis, it was because she didn't know his specific identity at all.

And after seeing Her Royal Highness's silent behavior like a jammed instrument, the evil dragon warrior who appeared finally shook his head.

"Your Royal Highness who lives in a deep boudoir obviously doesn't know what's going on outside, otherwise you should be able to hear about it."

Because of personal emotional tendencies and the resentment in her heart, Dietrich, who was not good at words, couldn't argue with Otilia about this matter.

Because of the anger in her heart, the most she could do was to question the other party.

But Huo De is different, because he knows more things obviously, so the refutation is naturally more powerful.

"It's really interesting to say. You obviously don't know anything about external affairs, and you don't even know what your husband is busy with. So you are worthy of talking about Dittmar?"

Although because of the helmet he was wearing, the man's voice sounded cold and heartless at this moment.

But even so, Otilia can still detect a strong sense of ridicule from it.

Moreover, the most aggrieved thing is that no matter what the man said, she has no way to refute.

Because her mind was completely blank.

"You are not even qualified to plan a palace coup, because you have never considered external matters, and you have never considered who Goth is relying on now... If Sifka is for revenge, then you are for what?"

"..."

"Ask yourself, do you have a clear conscience for what you said?"
