You and me under the world tree

Not because of anything else, at least she is familiar with that side, and the chilling fortress style can also give her a sense of security.

Maybe it's ridiculous, but the "Prince of Victory", who has always been strong and fights everywhere, also needs a sense of security at certain moments.

When she realized this, let alone others, even Dietrich herself wanted to laugh out loud.

"Really are……"

Riding on the tall nightmare horse, Her Royal Highness stroked her forehead.

Obviously, she successfully plotted against Elmrich, and at this moment, she is sure that everything is proceeding according to her plan and pace.

However, there was no joy in her heart.

Some are just lingering exhaustion.

"It sucks..."

Then, she made a decision.

A choice that she should never have made given her identity and experience.

The most willful and worst decision.

"Go back directly..."

Chapter 23: Get out! Come in!

She wanted to go straight back, as she literally said.

She didn't do anything about it, and didn't care about her soldiers who were stationed in various territories. She just rode her nightmare horse back to Be'an City alone.

After all, for her now, if she wants to go through the normal process, then theoretically speaking, she should first return to the territory she has already occupied.

As the supreme commander of the army and the hero whose force value has reached the peak of the world, he will deter those Xiaoxiao who may have different intentions.

Not to mention appeasing the lords who are still in control of her territory, she should at least stay there and control those territories by herself until she chooses a 'spokesperson' who can satisfy her.

This kind of operation is naturally commonplace for a real ruler, and she is no exception.

In fact, this is what she does when she expands abroad and takes over the territories of other kingdoms.

No matter what, no matter how impatient she is, she should get used to it.

What's more, for a person like her, there should be a sense of satisfaction in occupying the territory.

Ordinary soldiers may not have much sense of the expansion of the kingdom, because for them, all they have access to is wealth at their fingertips.

This is why every time the battlefield is approaching, the superiors always need to use material rewards to motivate the soldiers so that they can maximize their combat effectiveness and completely cut off their worries.

After all, status determines vision, and vision determines mentality and behavior.

And all along, Dietrich Dittmadottir has been using the standards of the heir to the kingdom to demand herself.

She's a prince... even now, she's a princess, she's the rightful heir to the Gothic kingdom.

In this case, she should work harder for the Goths... for the forces she rules.

It should be so.

However, at this moment, the tiredness and sleepiness in her heart finally prevailed.

Therefore, she gave up her due responsibilities, and just acted willfully.

Just when Wittig was free and rode his own horse to the eastern defense line, she had rushed back to Beian City alone.

Don't write letters, don't stay behind, just return to Bei'an City and send other people to take over the territories of those who surrendered.

This is a willful act that only she... only Dietrich can do.

Because her war horse is a nightmare war horse presented by her friend: the giant princess Zebul.

It was a fiery thing from Muspelheim, and in terms of speed, it was definitely no worse than other heroes' mounts.

Whether it is Siegfried's Grani, or the blacksmith Wieland's gift to his child Witig's Skemin.

Although the latter two are descendants of the eight-legged steed Sleipnir, they are mortal heroes after all.

In terms of speed, Falke, who was running at full speed, might still be ahead of them.

Therefore, within one day, the Nightmare Warhorse quickly sent her back to Beian City.

All the way alone, without stopping.

Because Dietrich has always been an efficiencyist, she has been alone a lot.

Therefore, the garrison in Bei'an City was not too surprised.

For them, as long as there is a flame rushing all the way from a distance, it must be His Highness's nightmare horse.

So just like usual, they opened the city gate after confirming that it was Her Highness the Princess herself.

At this moment, the time is exactly midnight.

There is no night market in Bei'an City, and naturally there is no one on the parade avenue leading to the palace.

Although Bai'an City has a rule that horses are not allowed to gallop, Dietrich obviously didn't care about it.

She just galloped along the parade avenue all the way, riding on the horse at an incredible angle, and finally landed in front of the surprised guards.

"Your Highness!"

"Um……"

Just answering them softly, Dietrich dismounted and walked into the palace all the way.

Lord's hall, corridors, apse, study...

During the process of walking, the armor on her body was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and replaced by plain clothes.

But when she walked into the study completely, she often exhaled a foul breath.

Immediately afterwards, she looked around, and there was a sense of coldness and loneliness in the empty study.

She should be used to it, because she has been reading and working here.

Sometimes he doesn't even go back to his room, but lays down on the animal skin bench here for a while.

However, she was in a particularly bad mood today.

For her, everything that was originally normal seemed to be the last spark that ignited the powder keg, and the sense of collapse that emerged from her heart filled her heart, and finally broke through the rationality and defense she was originally proud of.

"Obviously...it's me."

It is obvious that I have inherited the duties of my father and ensured the internal stability by means of foreign wars.

Those lords can manage their territories with peace of mind, obviously because of her existence, so other kingdoms dare not make any changes.

But why can those people stand on that side with righteousness?

"why……"

She lay directly on the clean wooden table.

Although her performance is different from ordinary people, she is still an ordinary girl after all.

She wanted to be stronger than those men, and she kept pushing herself for this, but she couldn't let go of these after all.

They are all hidden deep in her heart, waiting for the day when they will all emerge.

And at this moment, someone quietly entered the cold study.

The person who entered the study didn't make any noise, and approached the table quietly and calmly.

then……

'click'

Accompanied by that slight sound, a dinner plate was placed on the table.

Her Royal Highness just lay on the table quietly, as if she was not aware of everything around her.

Therefore, even if someone sneaked into the study, she didn't take any action.

But this is a lie...

"Put down the knife in your sleeve, who else will enter the study room now except me."

At the moment when the 'intruder' spoke, the girl lying on the table visibly trembled.

"go out……"

"I think……"

"I said... get out."

"Ok."

In the end, he just sighed faintly.

"At least, you have to eat these. I guess you should be very hungry all the way back."

'boom'

After a series of footsteps, the sound of closing the door symbolized the end.

The sound seemed to be deliberate.

After a while, the girl raised her head.

The moonlight shining through the window shone on her body, illuminating her silver-white hair and fair skin brightly.

But at this moment, the girl was just staring at what was in front of her.

It was steaming broth, bread, and a glass of refreshing fruit wine.

A very modest dinner, at least for the royal family.

However, she felt like crying.

Finally, she clenched her fists.

There is such an impulse emerging in my heart.

So, she ignored the dinner and just walked towards the door of the study.

Then, she opened the door, just in time to see a certain man leaning against the wall.

A faint magical glow shrouded his body, which ensured that no one would notice him.

But that didn't work for Dietrich.

"Come in..." she said.

"Dinner yet?"

"I said come in."

"..."

Chapter 24: Just be yourself

The rune used for lighting on the ceiling is still not activated, so in a huge study room, the only light source is the moonlight outside the window.

Although the brilliance of the moon god Mani is cold, it is not as hot as the sun chariot driven by his sister.

However, his brilliance is enough to illuminate the entire atrium world.

However, because of the layout of the study room, there is actually only one window that really transmits light, and the rest of the windows are blocked by rows of large bookshelves.

Therefore, the whole room naturally has a cool and dark tone.

As the central figure illuminated by the moonlight, Dietrich sits in her seat.

She lay on the specially treated soft animal hide and seemed to be relaxing.

Although she is the daughter of a demon, although she sometimes shows the kind of cruelty that no one can do, but at least at this moment, her eyes closed does exude a strange fairy aura.

Coquettish, cool...

It is hard to imagine that these two temperaments will appear in the same person.

What is even more unimaginable is that they do not have any conflict, but reconcile each other.

This is a temperament that is difficult to describe in words.
