You and me under the world tree

While waiting, time-level issues must also be considered.

As for how to determine the so-called time...

"It's almost there. If it drags on, she will probably sort out her thoughts."

At this moment, Siegfried's uncle's reminder sounded in his ears, and without any hesitation, he coughed after being stiff for a moment.

"In short, if there is nothing else, I will arrange it like this." He said.

And when Krimhild raised her head, she saw that her beloved King had stood up.

"Then that's it. It's getting late. I still have a lot of work to do. Miss Krimhild can go back to the mansion and wait patiently."

He was obviously giving the order to evict the guest.

Regardless of whether this is the truth, or Siegfried's perfunctory expression, Krimhild feels a strong sense of crisis.

Therefore, she couldn't help shouting:

"His Majesty!"

Her voice was not high, but it was enough to attract his attention.

"Miss Krimhild, is there anything else?"

Facing Siegfried's gaze, Krimhild felt his mouth was dry.

She is uneasy, she is unwilling.

For half a month, the 'offensive' launched by her Ziegfeld never got any return, and she was even declined by the man in front of her.

She was madly infatuated with him, but he was unmoved by it.

"I worked hard to the end but never got any rewards. No matter what, there will be a kind of resentment hidden in my heart."

Watching the expression of the woman in front of him, Siegfried suddenly thought of what his uncle had said before.

He obviously hadn't met Krimhild a few times, but he perfectly controlled all her possible performances.

"Miss Krimhild..."

He knew that what he said and what he did now were like sparks that ignited gunpowder.

What Krimhild did next depended only on her upbringing.

In the end, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Burgundy suppressed the resentment that emerged from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't yell like a little girl, she just showed a slightly forced smile.

"Your Majesty, in fact, what I look forward to most is to walk with you."

To some extent, she has expressed her admiration very euphemistically.

In fact, she has used this kind of 'offensive' many times, and usually Siegfried basically got past it, but now...

"I'm sorry, Miss Krimhild."

Immediately afterwards, an unexplained sense of fear eroded the body of Her Highness the Princess.

For a moment she didn't know what to say, so she took a step or two back.

"I know that His Majesty is busy with government affairs and caring about people's sentiments, so he is naturally busy, so I..."

She bent down and saluted, and then wanted to leave.

have to leave...

This kind of thought filled her brain, otherwise something irreversible would happen!

But Siegfried couldn't let her go!

"It's not just busy, Miss Krimhild. As the king, I have an obligation to avoid spreading unnecessary rumors. I hope you can understand."

Chapter 37: I have someone I like

Krimhild turned his back to Siegfried.

Because she didn't dare to look at Siegfried's expression at the moment, and didn't know what kind of expression would be revealed on that handsome face that fascinated her and made her crazy.

Is it icy or mild?

Is it disgust or tenderness?

She doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know.

Even now, she couldn't know.

Her mind was blank at the moment, as if she had been struck by lightning, and all the thoughts and ideas in it were completely destroyed.

Finally, a word that Siegfried mentioned before slowly emerged.

"gossip?"

Using this vocabulary as the starting point, she finally found her own thoughts.

"What rumor?"

She tried to calm her tone as much as possible, and tried her best to show that kind of ignorance and innocent doubt.

In the panic, she almost couldn't ask these words.

Because no one knows better than her what the so-called 'rumor' is.

Generally speaking, as a single woman and a princess, when she met His Majesty the King, she would visit His Majesty the King in a completely open manner as an envoy, and at the same time contact King Siegfried and his staff team headed by Hagen.

Or try to avoid seeing each other.

As a princess in the royal family, she was educated since she was a child not to discredit the identity of the royal family, let alone do some misleading things.

Not at all.

In theory, she should be very sensitive to these things.

Assuming she really didn't have any ideas about Ziegfried, and even wanted to avoid trouble, then they should meet in a formal setting.

Only as an envoy, not as a princess.

However, she didn't do that.

In fact, as far as the performance of several visits is concerned, not only did she often enter and leave the palace in a private capacity, but more importantly, she never had any intention of hiding it.

Of course, she'd even come up with the kind of speechless rhetoric if asked.

Anyway, she did not do other things, and Siegfried and those inside the palace would never make this matter public, so she only needs to answer that she is business-like and has a clear conscience.

But deep down in her heart, why didn't she have intentional intentions?

As a member of the royal family, she certainly understands the lethality of these rumors, but she just did it.

Even if she didn't spread it, she can be said to be well aware of the consequences.

Therefore, when Siegfried directly mentioned this point, she couldn't help feeling a little flustered in her heart.

She didn't dare to look back, let alone turn around, and even with her back to the handsome king, she still lowered her supposedly proud head.

"Are there any rumors outside?"

"Well, Miss Krimhild may not have noticed the external rumors because she was entangled in trivial matters. At this time, the outside world is rumored that the Kingdom of the Netherlands will marry the Kingdom of Burgundy."

When Siegfried mentioned this without hesitation, Krimhild felt his heart beating faster.

However, this acceleration is not because of shyness, nor is it because of being moved, but because of fear.

Because at this time, she couldn't see Siegfried's expression at all, and because of this, she had to focus most of her attention on listening.

At this moment, she could hear very clearly that Siegfried's tone didn't contain any other unnecessary emotions, and some were just calm.

There was no emotional ups and downs at all, as if he had never treated her differently.

"This kind of thing is unrealistic. Although there are some trade-level agreements between Gunter and me, this is fundamentally different from a 'marriage', because the former is purely intercommunication, while the latter has already involved A matter of personal reputation."

"His Majesty……"

"Ok?"

"Does Your Majesty think that such rumors will damage your reputation?"

Then, Siegfried couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This statement is not easy to answer.

At least it seemed so to him.

At the same time, the sage leaning against the wall, covering his traces with magic, crossed his arms.

"Krimhild, to be able to go out as an envoy of the kingdom, this lip service is indeed a bit level."

At this moment, Siegfried was pushed into a dangerous situation.

If he clearly dislikes this, then it will rise to a problem of self-esteem, and even if any conflicts and conflicts break out later, he will not take it seriously here.

At least, he must not leave verbal facts behind.

Because at this time, what he was facing was not only Krimhild and the Burgundian kingdom behind her, but also the envoys of the high gods hidden in the dark.

If you want to deal with them, you must do it seamlessly, and you must not leave any traces behind.

Because this is the only way to be confident.

And for these, Huo De naturally prepared a set of arguments for Siegfried, and now it depends on how he plays.

"Certainly no reputation will be damaged."

After a moment of silence, Siegfried spoke.

"In fact, for a normal man, it is his dream to have some gossip or even something to happen to a beautiful princess."

He watched Krimhild's back, and his eyes were on her long, smooth hair.

"However, I'm not just a man, I'm also a king. I need to be responsible for my kingdom. Every move I make symbolizes the tendency of the kingdom. I..."

"Is there any harm in marrying Burgundy?"

Krimhild turned around suddenly.

At this moment, Siegfried had no time to adjust his expression.

In his opinion, his own expression should look very stiff, so uneasiness surfaced in his heart.

However, even he probably doesn't know that the descendants of the Volsung family have never been arrogant, even Helji, who has a more delicate face and can pretend to be a girl with a little dressing It will also make people feel the majesty of the royal family and the god of war on earth.

And naturally, his expression fell on Krimhild's eyes as well.

His eyes are sharp and his face is solemn.

This kind of expression should make people retreat normally, but Krimhild didn't just back away.

"There is no harm in theory, Miss Krimhild."

In the end, Siegfried calmly responded to this.

"However, some things are hard to say."

He doesn't want any scandals that affect his reputation, and at the same time he is not a pure interestist.

Siegfried's performance shows this.

"I admire you, Miss Krimhild, but this appreciation may be different from what you imagine."

"But you were gentle with me..."

"Because you are a guest, it is natural to treat guests generously, but I do not wish to have any further contact... I am sorry if my actions have misunderstood you."

Even looking at the entire atrium world, Siegfried's self-discipline is extremely rare, not to mention that he completely shuts out a beauty like Krimhild.

And with the traditional customs and cognition of the atrium, this can only mean one thing.

"Your Majesty... Do you have someone you like?"

Facing Siegfried's slightly serious expression, Krimhild asked.

At this moment, her eyes were full of hope.

But in the end, that hope was ruthlessly torn apart.

"Well, I have a girl I like, so I don't want her to have any misunderstandings."
